The Color Sign Printer must have its on-line
LED light illuminated to receive data. If the light is
not ON, verify that the printer power is ON, and

The Color Sign Printer can be used with virtually
any Microsoft Windows 3.1x or Windows 95
software application program. Before printing,
however, you must tell the application that youÕre
using the Color Sign Printer. This is accomplished
the first time you use the printer by installing what
is called a Òprinter driver.Ó The printer driver is
simply software which gives the Color Sign Printer
the proper commands it needs in order to print.
The printer driver included with your Color Sign
Printer is a Windows GDI (Graphical Display
Interface) printer driver. The Windows GDI
printer driver is a non-PostScript driver and is
used for printing non-PostScript file formats such
as a TIFF, JPEG, or BMP from non-PostScript
applications.
As an option, the Color Sign Printer also has true
Adobe PostScript Level 2 software available. This
optional software provides genuine PostScript
support and is used only when printing PostScript

not included with the Color Sign Printer and is
only necessary if you intend to print PostScript
files.
