On Windows 98, click Next on the Wizard and do one of the following:

–

Make sure that “Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended).” is
selected if you are installing from CD-ROM.

the driver.”

For Windows 98 on the next page, select “Search for the best driver for your
device” and “Specify a location.” Browse to find the DsPnp.inf file and click OK.
Click Next.

Windows Me searches automatically.

For some Windows Me and 98 PCs, Windows finds USBPrint.inf and installs

USB printer support. If this occurs, the Add New Hardware wizard appears
again. Repeat these steps, beginning with step 4.

Click Yes and then Next to open the Release Notes in WordPad. Close the
Release Notes when you have viewed the information.

Select Class e-Guide, ImageCard IV e-Guide, or the SP35 e-Guide. Install the
Magna Class e-Guide. (You can install additional e-Guides if you are likely to use
a different type of printer attached to this PC.) Click Next to install the e-Guide(s)
you selected.

12 The installation program copies files to the PC and updates entries to enable the

printer.

13 The installation program detects whether the Adobe Acrobat Reader program is

installed on the PC. If it is not, the installation program asks if you want to install
Acrobat Reader. If you see this prompt, make sure Yes is chosen and then click
Next to install it.

14 Follow the prompts to install Acrobat Reader.

15 You must restart the PC before the driver can work with the printer. Click Finish to

close the installation and restart Windows.

If the Windows Add New Hardware wizard is open, click Finish to close it and

restart the PC.
