NOTE: If the CD does not automatically open, use "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" to view the contents of the CD. Then, double-click on the Setup.exe file listed on the CD.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation. Once installed, the "32- Bit Print Spooler" icon will appear in the Start->Programs->Fargofolder.

NOTE: Occasionally, new 32-Bit Print Spooler versions are released which have new or updated features. Before installing updated 32-Bit Print Spooler versions, always uninstall the existing print spooler version from your system. To do this, simply select 32-Bit Print Spooler from the list of programs in the Add/Remove Programs Properties window, and click on the Add/Remove button.

To print with the 32-Bit Print Spooler, you must select the Use 32-Bit Spooler option from within the printer driver setup window as described in Part D of this section. When this option is selected, the print spooler will automatically open and close with the start and finish of each print job.

NOTE: You can also manually open the 32-Bit Print Spooler simply by selecting its icon from the Start->Programs->Fargofolder.

When the 32-Bit Print Spooler is running, its icon will appear in the Windows 95/98 Task Bar. During a print job, it is sometimes helpful to click on this icon to bring the 32-Bit Print Spooler status window to the foreground of your application. This window provides a number of details about the print jobs being sent to the printer.

The Current Job tab tells you the name and size of the file printing, the progress of the overall print job, as well as the total number of copies left to print. It also provides buttons which allow you to pause or cancel the print job at any time during the printing process.

The Settings tab tells you the port and printer to which you are printing and allows you to configure the timeout settings. In most instances, these settings will rarely need to be changed. This tab also provides two other options called Save last job for reprint and Direct to Port Mode.
