B. INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER

The printer must have its Power light illuminated to receive data. If the light is not on, press the Power button.

B. INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER

The Color CD Printer can be used with virtually any Windows application program. This is accomplished by installing in Windows 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. Use the following steps to install the printer driver. Once the driver is installed, put it away in a safe place in case it ever needs to be re-installed.

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

Windows 95/Windows NT

To install the printer driver into Windows 95 or Windows NT, refer to the following:

1.Insert the printer driver diskette into your computerÕs disk drive.

2.Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Printers.
