FARGO electronic Quatro ID Card Printer - Manual (Page 18)

II. INSTALLING THE WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVER
The Quatro ID Card Printer can be used with virtually any
Microsoft Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT
software application program. Before printing, however, you must
tell the application that youÕre using the Quatro ID Card Printer.
This is accomplished the first time you use the printer by installing
in Windows what is called a Òprinter driver.Ó The printer driver is
simply a diskette with software on it that gives the printer the
proper commands it needs in order to print.
Separate printer driver diskettes are included and labeled for use
with Windows (3.1x/95/98) or Windows NT. Install the
appropriate printer driver for your system. After you have
installed the driver, put the driver diskette in a safe place for
possible future use. For details on all printer driver options, refer
to Section IV of this chapter.
NOTE: This section of the OperatorÕs Manual assumes that you are already
familiar with Windows and know how it operates. If you are not
yet familiar with Windows, consult the appropriate Microsoft
documentation to become familiar with the basics of Windows
before proceeding.
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT:
To install the printer driver into Windows 95/98 or Windows NT,
refer to the following:
1.
Insert the printer driver diskette into your computerÕs disk
drive.
2. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Printers.
3. Double-click on the Add Printer icon.
