B. INSTALLING THE WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVER
Your card printer can be used with virtually any Microsoft Windows 3.1x,
Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000 software application program.
This is accomplished through what is called a "printer driver." The printer driver is
simply software which gives the printer all the information needed for printing.
The printer driver software is located on the Software Installation CD included
with your printer. If you are reading this on your computer screen from the Online
User's Guide, you have already installed the printer driver and this guide using
this CD. If you would like to provide others with these instructions, however, the
following describes how to install the printer driver for the first time. The latter
part of this section also describes how to install printer driver updates.
