You can now specify whether only the driver is to be installed, or if
the auxiliary programs are also to be installed. For special applica-
tions, installation disks can also be created.
In most cases, it is best to also install the client software. For this
reason, the description of installation and confi guration below

such as that which is integrated in Windows® XP, select Install
drivers only.
Select

A message appears informing you that the driver is being installed automatically:
Click

The message that the software has not passed the Windows® logo test may appear while the driver is being
installed:
This only means that the test has not been performed. The sta-
bility and function of the driver was tested thoroughly before
delivery. The qualifi cation of the drivers by Hama means that
new versions can be used far earlier and do not have to wait
for the Windows® logo test. Click
Continue Anyway
to confi rm
the message.
After installation,
“InstallShield Wizard complete”
is displayed. Now remove the CD-ROM from the drive and
restart the computer by selecting
