This chapter describes how to install and use the Stylus COLOR 500 Windows printer software on your PC. If you have a Macintosh, see Chapter 3 instead.

The printer software includes a printer driver, which allows your computer to control the printer; you must install it to use the printer. The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety of settings to customize the appearance of your printed documents.

The printer software also includes the Spool Manager, which manages your printing, and the Calibration utility, which you can use to adjust the vertical alignment of your printouts. See Chapter 5 for information on the Spool Manager and Chapter 6 for instructions on using the Calibration utility.

Note:

Be sure to make backup copies of your software diskettes.
