INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER

Installing the Printer Driver for Windows 3.1

To be able to print from a Windows application you need a printer driver installed on your PC. The printer driver controls document printing. It has several dialog boxes where you choose the page size, the orientation of the paper, and so on. Each printer driver is specific to the type of printer that you want to use.

To install the printer driver for Windows 3.1:

1.Turn your computer on.

2.Start Windows.

3.Insert the printer driver floppy disk into your floppy disk drive A:.

4.From Program Manager, select the “File” menu option “Run....”

5.In the Run window, type “A:\Install”.

6.Click “OK”.

7.Choose your language from the dedicated dialog box and click “Install”.

The installation program automatically performs the set-up procedure. Once the set-up is complete, the printer driver is set as the default printer driver.

Installing the Printer Driver for Windows® 95

The Windows printer driver can be installed by either of the following two methods. The first one applies when Windows 95 is started with the printer on and the second one applies when the printer is turned on with Windows 95 started.
