4: Using Windows 95

Windows 95 printing software overview

You set up your Windows 95 computer to use the Elite XL 20ppm by installing the
Elite XL 20ppm software for Windows 95. This software is on the Elite XL 20ppm
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 XL 20ppm software on your computer using Plug and Play.
This will work if you are installing the software on a 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:

Windows 95 Start menu and choose "Restart the computer."
The computer will go through the normal startup procedures and then
show a dialog box telling you that it has found new hardware.
You will 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
manufacturer" and click OK.
Go to step 8 of the numbered steps in the "Using Add Printer" section.
