Pro-L Card Printer User’s Manual

NOTE: If the CD does not automatically open, use "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" to

view the contents of the CD. Then, double-click on the Setup.exe file listed on the CD.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation. Once installed, the "32-

Bit Print Spooler" icon will appear in the Start->Programs->Fargo folder.

NOTE: Occasionally, new 32-Bit Print Spooler versions are released which have new or updated

features. Before installing updated 32-Bit Print Spooler versions, always uninstall the

existing print spooler version from your system. To do this, simply select 32-Bit Print

Spooler from the list of programs in the Add/Remove Programs Properties window, and

click on the Add/Remove button.

To print with the 32-Bit Print Spooler, you must select the Use 32-Bit Spooler

option from within the printer driver setup window as described in Part D of this

section. When this option is selected, the print spooler will automatically open and

close with the start and finish of each print job.

NOTE: You can also manually open the 32-Bit Print Spooler simply by selecting its icon from the

Start->Programs->Fargo folder.

When the 32-Bit Print Spooler is running, its icon will appear in the Windows

95/98 Task Bar. During a print job, it is sometimes helpful to click on this icon to

bring the 32-Bit Print Spooler status window to the foreground of your application.

This window provides a number of details about the print jobs being sent to the

printer.

The Current Job tab tells you the name and size of the file printing, the progress of

the overall print job, as well as the total number of copies left to print. It also

provides buttons which allow you to pause or cancel the print job at any time

during the printing process.
The Settings tab tells you the port and printer to which you are printing and

allows you to configure the timeout settings. In most instances, these settings will

rarely need to be changed. This tab also provides two other options called Save last

job for reprint and Direct to Port Mode.
