User’s Guide for ImageCard® Select™ and UltraGrafix® Select™ Printers
• Some parallel communication devices use a cable with a plug that allows
another device to be attached, so that two parallel devices are attached to
one PC parallel port, known as a pass-through or piggy-back plug. The
printer and printer driver cannot communicate reliably through such a
plug. Install a second parallel port in the PC if needed.
– USB port (used with the Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows 98
operating system)
• The PC might have more than one USB port, or USB devices already
attached to the PC might provide USB ports to use.
– A network connection to support printer sharing or direct networking
• Have a CD-ROM drive to install the printer driver
• Have one of the following operating systems:
– Windows Me (recommended)
– Windows 98 Second Edition
The Windows 98 printer driver is designed to work on Windows Me or
Windows 98 Second Edition. The printer driver can be installed and used on
Windows 95 (OSR 2 recommended); however it is possible that unexpected
results could occur. If you experience problems, consider upgrading the PC’s
operating system to Windows Me or 98. The printer cannot be connected to a
PC running Windows 95 using a USB port.
– Windows 2000 with service pack 2 (recommended)
– Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 5 or higher
The Windows NT printer driver is designed to work on Windows NT with
Service Pack 5 or 6. The printer driver can be installed and used on Windows
NT with Service Pack 4; however it is possible that unexpected results could
occur. If you experience problems, consider installing Service Pack 5 or 6.
The printer cannot be connected to a PC running Windows NT using a USB
port.
The PC must also have a card creation application that formats and prepares the card
data. For the PC requirements of your card creation application, see the application's
documentation.
ID system installation sequence
You might use this printer as part of an identification system (with a camera) or you
might use it with existing data and applications. When you set up this printer along
with other system components, install the printer driver after setting up the PC and
before installing the card creation application and capture software and devices. Verify
the success of each installation step before continuing.
