the "Start - Control Panel - Printer and Faxes" menu.
You can load updated and improved driver versions or new drivers from an installation

is integrated in a network, you can install driver data stored in a network directory. In
either case, use the "Add Printer Wizard" to complete the installation.
Printer configuration
Use the "Start - Control Panel - Printers and Faxes" menu of Windows XP to configure
the printer properties.
2.5.4 Connecting a Monitor
A standard monitor can be connected to the DVI-D connector of the R&S CMW500.
For instruments with display this connector is optional (R&S CMW-B620A).
Monitor connection
The monitor must be connected while the instrument is switched off (in standby mode).
Otherwise correct operation cannot be guaranteed.
The monitor displays the magnified Graphical User Interface (GUI) with all dialogs, mea-
surement results and control elements. The soft-front panel to the right of the R&S
CMW500 application window gives access to the basic utility dialogs. No extra configu-
ration is required.
