5: Using Windows 95
Windows 95 printing software overview
You set up your Windows 95 computer to use the Elite 12ppm by installing the Elite
12ppm software for Windows 95. This software is on the Elite 12ppm CD-ROM.
Windows 95 uses a Wizard to help you install printer software. A Wizard is a series of
dialog boxes. In each dialog box you make configuration choices then click the Next button
to move to the next dialog box.
Part of the software that you need is contained on the Windows 95 CD-ROM
or floppy disks. Make sure you have the disk(s). If you cannot locate the
disk(s) or your computer was not supplied with them, follow the special
instructions when you reach step 15.
Plug and Play installation
You can install the Elite 12ppm software on your computer using Plug and Play. This will
work if you are installing the software on the computer which is connected to the printer
through the parallel port.
If the printer is not connected to the computer through the parallel port, go to the section
“Using Add Printer” below.
To use Plug and Play to install the software on the computer, connect the parallel port of
the computer to the parallel port interface on the printer using an IEEE-1284 parallel cable
(it will be stamped “1284”). Turn on the printer and place paper in the paper tray. Then:
1. Start the computer if it is not turned on, or go to Shut Down on the Windows
95 Start menu and choose “Restart the computer.”
2. The computer will go through the normal startup proceedures and then show a
dialog box telling you that it has found new hardware.
3. You'll then see a dialog box which asks you to select which driver you want to
install. Choose the option “Driver from disk provided by hardware manufac-
turer” and click OK.
4. Go to step 8 of the numbered steps in the “Using Add Printer” section.
Using Add Printer
To install the printing software without using Plug and Play, make sure that the printer is
switched on, has paper, and is connected to the computer or network.
