Windows 95/98 and Windows NT Port Monitor Installation

Although it is possible to install the TROY XCD print server as a network printer on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, this procedure is not recommended unless you have a very simple network. The reason is that these operating systems do not adequately support queuing print jobs from multiple host computers to a diskless print server (the queues may stop).

To get around this problem, TROY XCD provides a port monitor that installs on the Windows 95/98 or NT computer. This port monitor acts like a local printer port, and therefore operates transparently with all Windows software. If you did not receive this software on CD-ROM or diskette, you may download it from the TROY XCD web site (http:// www.troyxcd.com).

To install the port monitor, go the Start button, select Run and click Browse.. Choose the appropriate drive, and if you are installing from CD-ROM, open the Monitors folder. Double click on the SETUP program. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

1.Click Next at the welcome screen.

2.Select Next at the Choose Destination Location screen (or Browse to choose a different folder).

3.Select Next at the Select Program Folder screen (or select an existing folder from the list).

4.Click Yes when asked if you would like to configure a NetBIOS Port.
