to set up the PostScript driver, so it will operate correctly with the CompuFax PC Interface. Both Windows
3.1 and Windows 95 come with PostScript printer drivers, although the driver may need to be loaded from a
Windows system diskette or CD-ROM. The procedure given here is for Windows 95. For Windows 3.1, see
the section below, entitled Windows 3.1 PostScript Driver Initialization.
1. Click on Start | Settings | Printers. A window with printer icons should appear. One of the icons should
be for a PostScript type printer. If not, see the section entitled Adding a Printer Driver.
2. Double click on the icon for the PostScript printer. A window appears for that printer. Click on File |
Properties | Details. In the Details window, the box entitled Print using the following driver: should show the
name of a driver containing the word PostScript, or PS. If not, click on the arrow to the right of the box.
From the list of driver names, select one with the word PostScript in it. If there is no such driver name, refer
to the section entitled Adding a Printer Driver.
3. If the printer driver name is ok, check the box above it, entitled Print to the following port:. It should read:
C:\ CFTEMP.PS (Unknown local port)
If it does not show this, click on the arrow to the right of the box. If the dropdown list of port names
contains the above name, select it. Otherwise, refer to the section entitled Adding a Port Name.
4. When both port name and driver name are ok, click on the PostScript tab. From the dropdown list entitled
Postscript output format: select Archive format. Under PostScript header select Assume header is downloaded
and retained. Put a check mark in the box entitled Print PostScript error information. Click the OK button.

described under Adding a Port Name. Click on the Next> button.
4. You may change the printer name, if desired, but leave the word PostScript in it for future reference. Leave
the default printer setting at No. Click on the Next> button.
5. You may elect to "print" a test page, but instead of printing, the data will be sent to the file
C:\ CFTEMP.PS, which you can then display if you have a PostScript viewer program on your PC, or print if
you have a PostScript printer. Otherwise, ignore the output. Click on the Finish button. If the required
PostScript driver is not on your system, you will be asked to insert the appropriate floppy or CD-ROM.
Follow the instructions on your screen until the driver installation is complete.
