Multiple Printers

When installing multiple printers, Windows will recognize the new printer and install the driver.
Windows 2000 does this automatically. Windows XP may ask for the driver CD again.

Once the printer is installed, you will see the additional printer labeled MB PrintFactory Series
(Copy 1).

Before using the newly installed printer, you must first go into the printer preferences and set the
offset values for that printer in Windows. To do this, right click on the MB PrintFactory Series
(Copy 1) and select Printer Preferences. Go to the utility tab. Change the TOP or LEFT value
from zero to some other number and then back to zero again.
