Software Installation
The software required to set up your Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer is
located on the Elite 21 Series CD-ROM.
You can install the Elite 21 software on your computer using Plug and Play. This will
work if you are installing the software on a computer which is connected to the
printer through the parallel or USB port.
If the printer is not connected to the computer through the parallel or USB port, go to
the “Using Add Printer” section immediately following Plug and Play instructions.
Windows 2000/XP uses a Wizard to help you install printer software. A Wizard is a
series of dialog boxes. In each dialog box you make configuration choices then click
the Next button to move to the next dialog box.
Note: These instructions cover both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The screen
shots in the Plug and Play section reflect dialog boxes within Windows 2000, the shots
in the Add Printer section reflect Windows XP. The appearance of these windows will
vary depending on which Windows version you are using, however the installation
procedures are the same unless specifically noted in the text.
Note: These instructions cover installing the Elite 21 as a local printer (connected via
a parallel or USB port) on a Windows 2000/XP workstation or server.
If installing the printer as a stand-alone Ethernet device on a Windows network, we
recommend following these instructions as if the printer were being installed as a local
device on port LPT1:. Once the installation is complete, proceed to the
Windows
2000/XP section of Chapter 8 of this Manual (Networking the Elite 21 Printer) for
instructions for setting up the printer as an Ethernet network device.
