Installing the Printer Driver
Installing the
Printer Driver
Now that you connected your printer to the parallel port of the
computer, you are ready to install the Windows Printer Driver which
controls the printer. There are two printer driver disks which contain
Driver for Windows 3.1/3.11 and Driver for Windows 95. The latter
also contains FPS Driver for Windows 95 (FPS is an optional
emulation). Note that the installation procedure differs.
When you are using Windows 95, it is recommended that you
should install the printer driver using MarkVision because the
printer driver is reinforced with MarkVision’s features such as
remotely changing settings of a network printer and checking status
of a network printer. For MarkVision, see Chapter 2.
To install a printer driver in Windows 95, note the following:
• When you install the printer driver, the original OS (CD-ROM or
floppy disks) may be required during installation.
• When MarkVision is already installed, select a printer name
followed by (MV) in the Printers window. When MarkVision is
not installed, select a printer name not followed by (MV).
Get to Know Your Printer Driver
The Printer Driver has two functions:
1. it automatically translates formatting choices, such as tab settings or
boldface type, into commands the printer understands.
2. it allows you to set up the printer according to your needs (printer
settings).
If you encounter problems with this installation, confirm that your
configuration corresponds to the minimum requirements listed on page
vi at the start of this manual. If the configuration corresponds to these
requirements and troubles persist, contact your dealer for assistance.
When running application programs under Windows, you select the
printer type in the application program itself before you print a
document.
