Setting Up the Printer      

3.

Insert the CD-ROM containing the printer software into the CD-ROM drive. The 
AutoPlay function of the CD-ROM drive automatically starts the installation 
program on the CD-ROM.

If the installation program does not start automatically, click on Start and then on 
Run. In the Run dialog box, enter the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive in the 
command line (e.g. E:\), followed by the command START.EXE (e.g. 
E:\START.EXE) and click on the OK button.

Note:

If your CD-ROM drive has a drive letter other than "E", substitute the appro-
priate letter.

The installation program starts. The subsequent procedure is menu-driven, i.e., you 
can select the relevant options from a list simply by clicking with the mouse. The 
remainder of the installation is automatic and you do not need to enter any more 
information.

4.

Select the desired options and follow the on-screeen instructions.

After the printer software has been successfully installed, click on the button 
identified by a door icon to exit the installation program.

Line box, type E:\START and click OK.

Note:

If your CD-ROM drive has a drive letter other than “E” , substitute the
