Installing the 32-Bit Print Spooler for Windows 95/98
The printer ships with a print utility program called the 32-Bit Print Spooler. This print spooler is located on the Software Installation CD and is for use only with Windows 95/98.
•Once installed, the 32-Bit Print Spooler is able to process your print jobs and send them to the printer at consistently faster speeds than if sending print jobs through the system spooler of Windows 95/98.
•The 32-Bit Print Spooler is ideal for printing a large number of consecutive ID cards or for printing larger file formats (1 MB or more). (Note: The 32-Bit Print Spooler also allows your computer to display helpful prompts if a printer error occurs during printing.)
•The 32-Bit Print Spooler can be installed automatically from the Software Installation CD. (Note: To do so, close down all other programs and insert the Software Installation CD into your computer's CD drive.)
•The CD will automatically open and prompt you to click on the photo of your specific printer model to begin installation.
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. (Note: When this option is selected, the print spooler will automatically open and close with the start and finish of each print job. You can also manually open the 32-Bit Print Spooler simply by selecting its icon from the Start->Programs->Fargofolder.)
