Software is included with every Advantage printer for use with

Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, or

Windows 3.1/3.11. Two basic packages are provided:

•

The Cognitive Intellidriver

printer using virtually any Windows application.

•

LabelMagic

package specifically designed for use with Cognitive printers.

These software packages and a printer give Microsoft Windows users

an easy to use label printing solution with nothing else to buy.

Intellidriver installation and use

An automatic setup program,

Intellidriver. Install the desired printer drivers by running

from within Windows and following the displayed instructions. Restart

your system after installing the Intellidriver.

After the drivers are installed, you can send data to Advantage just

like any other printer on your system: simply specify Advantage in the

print dialog box of your Windows application. To print bar codes, enter

bar code data using any text font, then highlight the information you

want to print as a bar code and select the desired bar code font from

your application's font menu. The driver will convert the text to an on-

screen representation of a generic bar code.

On-line help for the Intellidriver is available from the printer setup

window, which is accessible from the print dialog box of most Windows

applications. Please refer to the on-line help and the

the Intellidriver disk for detailed operating instructions.

LabelMagic installation and use

An automatic installation program,

LabelMagic installation disk. Install LabelMagic by running

and following the displayed instructions. The installation program will

copy the program files to your system and install program icons on

your desktop and/or system Start Menu.

LabelMagic has a complete context-sensitive help system that

describes all aspects of the program's use. You can access the help

system by selecting Help from the program's main menu. Please refer

to the help system and the

installation disk for detailed operating instructions.
