Driver Installation (continued)
Driver Installation Procedure
1.On the Windows desktop, use your mouse to select “Start,” “Settings,” “Printers” and “Add Printer.”
2.Select the My Computer radio button unless you will be printing to the printer through a Network Server (as in the case of Novell NetWare, for example) in which case you should select Network printer server. Click Next.
3.If you selected My Computer:
•When the “Ports” screen displays, use your mouse to place a check mark in the box in front of the port you wish to use to communicate with the printer.
•Click Next.
If you selected Network printer server in step 2 above:
•Instead of selecting a port you will be required to browse through the Network directories and
•Locate your printer’s primary server and queue (NetWare 3.12), or your printer’s Network tree, context, and queue/name (NetWare 4.xx).
•Highlight the printer and click OK.
•Click Next.
4.When the “Manufacturers and Printers” window displays:
•Click on Have Disk… and enter in the path to your CD ROM, or to the driver files on your workstation. Note that you can use the Browse button to locate the required ".inf" file.
•Click Open, if required, then click OK.
5.When the “Printers” list is displayed on screen, select your printer (XES Synergix 8855 PS, for example) and click Next.
6.When prompted, accept the default printer name in the Printer Name field, or give your printer an easily recognized name.
7.Select either Yes or No to make this printer your default Windows printer. Choose Yes if you will be printing primarily to this printer from your Windows applications. Click Next.
8.When prompted, select “Not Shared” unless the printer is directly connected to your workstation and you wish to “Share” it with other network users.
Click Next.
9.If the printer is powered on and properly connected to your workstation, when prompted to print a test page select Yes.
Click Finish.
10.Verify that an icon representing your printer is now displayed in your desktop "Printers" window.
Note: If you are upgrading or reinstalling the driver, you may need to restart your computer to use the new driver.
