DMP 205 (260-2904) Software Drivers Faxback Doc. # 5728 INSTALLING THE WINDOWS 3.1 PRINTER DRIVER The diskette provided with your printer contains the software you need to operate your printer with Windows 3.1 applications. Before you install the printer driver, we recommend you read the PRINTER.TXT file on the diskette. The PRINTER.TXT file contains all the information necessary to install the printer driver, as well as all other pertinent information regarding this software. The printer driver tells Windows what information to sent to the printer, including details about printer features, the printer interface, and fonts. NOTES: -The printer driver is also compatible with earlier Windows releases. -Close all Windows applications before installation. Otherwise you will get an error message when you attempt to install the printer driver. 1. Turn you computer on and go to the MAIN Windows menu. 2. Select CONTROL PANEL. 3. Choose the PRINTERS icon and press ENTER. 4. When the printer window appears, choose ADD from the menu and press ENTER. NOTE: If you have never installed a printer, the ADD option is not available.
