printer driver updates is to download them from the Fargo Website at www.personaprinters.com. The
following instructions explain how to download and install updated printer drivers.
Downloading
Downloadable printer driver files have names ending in ".exe" and are self-extracting PKZip archives.
A PKZip archive is a package, containing one or more files, that has been "zipped" to make it smaller
and provide easy downloading of numerous files simultaneously. An archive that is self-extracting is
capable of "unzipping" itself.
To download the latest printer driver version, click on the printer driver's highlighted ".exe" file name on
the web site. You will then be prompted to "Save this program to disk." Click OK, then choose the
folder in which you would like to save the printer driver file. You may wish to save it in an empty folder
to prevent mingling its files with others already on your computer.
Once the file has completely downloaded to your computer, "unzip" the contents of the file by simply
double-clicking on it. The archive will "unzip" itself, revealing its contents as a new list of files within
the folder.
Installing
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Printers.
2. Double-click on the Add Printer icon.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin installation. When prompted, click on the
Have Disk button; the Install From Disk window will appear.
4. Click on Browse, navigate to the folder containing the printer driver files you just
downloaded and unzipped, and click on OK. Click on OK again to close the Install From
Disk window, then click on NEXT.
5. Follow the remainder of the on-screen instructions to complete installation. When
prompted, do not have Windows print a test print, since you most likely performed a
printer self test while you were setting up your printer. Once installed, the "Card Printer"
icon for your printer will appear in the Printers folder.
Note: The downloadable version of the printer driver does not include the User's Guide due to its large
size. If you performed the uninstall procedure above, the User's Guide will remain on your system and
work seamlessly with the new printer driver. New versions of the User's Guide will also be released
occasionally and can be downloaded separately by clicking here.
