4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation. When prompted, do
not have Windows print a test print, since you most likely performed a printer
self test in Section 4. Once installed, the icon for your 4200 Series Card Printer
will appear in the Printers folder.
NOTE: Occasionally, new printer driver versions are released which have new or updated features.
Before installing an updated printer driver version, always delete the existing printer driver
version from your system. To do this, simply select the printer driver icon from within the
Printers folder, and press the Delete key. A message may appear saying, ÒSome files were
used only for this printer and are no longer needed. Would you like to delete these files
now?Ó If you have FargoColor and/or the 32-Bit Print Spooler installed, select NO. If none
of these applications apply, select YES.
