Install Device Drivers
Your PlexWriter acts as a "CD-ROM Drive" for purposes of installation and setup.
In some cases, you will need to install additional drivers to make use of all of the
features of the PlexWriter.
•
Using the PlexWriter on a PC
:
! As CD-ROM
: The computer’s operating system, whether it is Windows 95,
Windows 98, or Windows NT, supplies a generic CD-ROM device driver
that allows the PlexWriter to function as a standard CD-ROM drive. You
don’t need to install anything else.
! As a CD-R or CD-RW device
: In order to write to CD-R or CD-RW media,
you will need additional software. If you purchased a kit from Plextor,
software is supplied.
•
Using the PlexWriter with DOS or Windows 3.x
: In MS-DOS and Windows
3.x, you can use the PlexWriter only as a CD-ROM drive. Except for CD Res-Q,
(which supports writing to a PlexWriter drive in all Windows environments and
also in DOS), the CD-R and CD-RW software provided by Plextor will run only
in Windows 95/98 and NT.
•
Using the PlexWriter on a Macintosh:
Whether using the PlexWriter as a
standard CD-ROM or as a CD-R or CD-RW device, you will need additional
drivers or software besides those that are part of the Macintosh operating system.
You will need to purchase this software separately. The compatibility list is
available from Plextor’s web site at www.plextor.com.
•
Using the PlexWriter with UNIX:
!
As CD-ROM
: The UNIX operating system supplies a generic CD-ROM
device driver that allows the PlexWriter drive to function as a standard
CD-ROM drive.
! As a CD-R or CD-RW device
: In order to write to CD-R or CD-RW media,
you will need additional software. You will need to purchase this software
separately. The software compatibility list is available from Plextor’s web

Before installing drivers, check that all the cable connections between your
PlexWriter and computer are correct and that all switches, dials, and termination are
set properly. If you are using an external drive, turn the power switch to OFF.
To install a device driver, follow the instructions provided by the driver’s supplier.
