The Direct to Port Mode option is selected by default. In most instances, this option allows the spooler to send data to the printer at its optimum speed. If, however, you experience problems when printing with this option selected, simply deselect it and try your print job again.

The Job Queue tab appears only when a print job is being sent to the printer. This tab tells you the name and status of each job in the queue and shows you the order in which the jobs will print if you have sent multiple jobs to the printer. A control button is also provided which allows you to delete every job listed in the queue. To delete the job currently being printed, simply select the Cancel Print button under the Current Job tab.

D. INSTALLING THE MACINTOSH PRINTER DRIVER

The printer can be used with virtually any Macintosh software application program. This is accomplished by installing what is called a Òprinter driver.Ó The printer driver is simply a diskette with software on it which gives the printer all the information needed for printing. Locate the printer driver diskette labeled for use with Macintosh and refer to the following steps to install it. After youÕve installed the driver, put the driver diskette away in a safe place for possible future use. For details on all printer driver options, refer to Part F of this section.

NOTE: This section of the OperatorÕs Manual assumes that you are already familiar with the Macintosh operating system and know how it operates. If you are not yet familiar with it, consult the appropriate documentation to become familiar with the basics before proceeding.

1.Insert the printer driver diskette labeled for use with Macintosh into your computerÕs disk drive. The Card Printer Installer automatically opens.

2.Click on the READ ME file(s) to get the latest information on the driver and the installation process. When you are finished reading, select Quit from the file menu.

3.Double-click on the Card Printer Installer icon.

4.When the Installer window appears, select the options you would like to the installer program to install. In most instances, the default selections will suffice. For a description of each of these options, refer to the notes found in the box directly above these options (use the up and down arrows to scroll through the notes). Once the desired options are selected, click on Install. The appropriate files will automatically install onto your computer. An alert box will then display indicating that installation is complete.

5.Click on OK to exit the installer. Driver installation is now complete.
