Installing Printer Drivers
A compatible printer driver must be loaded to enable a computer’s
operating system to communicate with the printer.
The following procedures describe how to install each of the supplied
printer drivers. To install multiple Windows printer drivers, the installation procedure must be performed for each driver.
NOTE: Before installing a printer driver, be sure to read the
"Readme" file for the latest information.
Windows 95 with Plug & Play (parallel connections only)
When using Windows 95 with plug & play*, follow the procedure
below.
* The plug & play feature is effective if both the computer and
peripheral equipment are equipped with IEEE 1284 compliant
parallel interface.
1. Ensure that the printer cable is connected between your computer
and the printer and then turn on the printer.
2. Start Windows on your computer.
NOTE: Before installing the printer driver, be sure to close all other
open applications.
If you use Windows 95 on a personal computer with the plug &
play feature, the ‘Update Device Driver Wizard’ window will appear. If the ‘New Hardware Found’ window appears, follow the
procedure below:
1 Click the ‘Driver from Disk Provided by Hardware
Manufacturer’ button and then click ‘OK’.
2 When the ‘Install From Disk’ window appears, insert the
desired diskette into the floppy disk drive. Type A:\ (if the
floppy disk drive is designated as drive A) and click the ‘OK’
button.
