In Windows 95, click the “START” button and highlight “Programs”. Now highlight
“Messenger”. From the fly-out window, click on “Messenger Programmer” to start the Messenger
Programming Software.
As the software is launched, it will search to see if a Messenger is connected to the host computer.
After it has searched each address, the software will display a window stating the results of its
search. If the search was successful, a message box will be displayed that should be similar to the
following:
If there is no Messenger connected to the host computer, or if the Messenger is improperly
connected to the host computer, the message box will state that there was no Messenger found. It
is not necessary for the host computer to be connected to the Messenger in order to create a
Message, Message File or Library File. However, in order to preview any message, or to upload a
Message File to the Messenger, the host computer does need to be connected to the Messenger.
If the host computer is connected to the Messenger and the message box indicates that no
Messenger was found, click on the “Retry” button. If a Messenger is still not found, please refer to
the troubleshooting section of this manual.
Click “OK” to close the message box.

can begin, the operator must first identify which display unit will be used to display the Message.
