Setting up the printer in Windows 95

To use the printer with Windows 95, you need to install a file known as the printer driver onto your computer. This file is supplied on the floppy disk that comes with the printer.

The following description assumes that you are using a mouse (“click” and “double-click” refer to the action of using the mouse to point at an item with the on-screen pointer, and then clicking either once, or twice in quick succession).

To install the printer driver under Windows 95, use the following steps:

❏Turn on the printer and start up your computer.

❏Click on the Start button in the bottom lefthand corner of the screen.

❏Select Settings.

❏Release the mouse button on Printers.

❏Double-click on the Add Printer icon in the Printers window.

❏Click on the Next button.
