Chapter 3: Software Installation
Place the Companion CD into the computer and the CD automatically runs
through all the required steps to properly install the required software for the
C Series printer.
Towards the end of the installation process you’ll be asked whether you’ll be
using third-party label printing software from this machine. If you answer
‘Yes’, USB communication will not be available from the Administrator
software, but will be available from your label printing software. Serial and
network communication will still be available for the Administrator. You can
change this in the future by uninstalling this package and then re-installing
it.
When software installation is complete, follow the steps below to prepare
your printer for normal usage.
