Setting up for printing with Microsoft Windows 3.1
This printer is designed to work best with computers running Microsoft
Windows 3.1. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, we recommend
that you upgrade to 3.1.
Before you can use the printer with Windows, you must first use the procedure
outlined below to install the printer driver that is supplied on the 3.5” floppy
disk that comes with the printer. This procedure assumes that you are using a
mouse and that you are familiar with common mouse operations like click and
double-click. If you need information on mouse operations or if you want to
install the printer driver without using a mouse, refer to your Microsoft
Windows User’s Guide.
❏Insert the disk that contains the printer driver into one of your computer’s
disk drives. This explanation assumes you are using a drive named “A:”,
but you could use any drive. Just remember to change the “A:” in the
following steps to the name of the drive you are using.
❏In the Main group, double-click on the Control Panel icon.
❏Double-click on the Printers icon in the Control Panel window.
