Printer Driver Installation

The ULS printer driver allows Microsoft Windows based graphics software programs to interface with the

laser system. Before continuing with the printer driver installation and the operation of your laser system,

a complete and thorough understanding of how your computer, the Windows operating system, and your

graphics software work is essential. Also, we recommend that you read your laser system’s operations

manual before proceeding. It contains important information concerning safety and the proper use of the

equipment as well as defining much of terminology used in this manual.

NOTE: The following installation procedure assumes that you are connecting your computer to

the laser system via your computer’s on-board parallel port (LPT1). If connecting through a USB

to parallel adapter, Ethernet to parallel adapter, through a network, or through a network printer

server, please refer to the installation instructions that came with that device or contact your

network administrator for assistance.

NOTE: We recommend using the Windows 2000/XP driver. It has more features and versatility

than the Windows 95/98/ME driver. Also, if any new features are added, it will be added only to the

most recent version of printer driver, which happens to be at the time of printing this manual, the

ULS Windows 2000/XP printer driver.

Windows 95/98/ME

• Power ON your PC. If your PC is already ON, close all programs.

• From the Task Bar click Start, then Settings, and then Printers.

• When the Printers dialog box appears, double-click Add Printer.

• When the Add Printer Wizard appears click Next, then Next again (Local Printer should automatically

be selected).

• When the Manufacturer and Printers menu list appears click Have Disk.

• Insert the printer driver disk, which can be found in a CD-ROM sleeve attached to the rear cover of

this manual. Click Browse, click on the Drive dialog box dropdown list, and then click on the drive

that contains the disk. Double-click on the Win_95_98_Driver folder. Click OK then OK once more.

• When the list of printers appears, choose your model from the list. If you are unsure of your model’s

name, turn on the laser system and the model name will appear in the control panel display while the

system is initializing or the model name can also be found engraved on the serial tag found on the

backside of the machine. Click Next.

• Click the port that the laser system is connected to, and then click Next.

• NEVER rename the printer driver, as this may make it inoperable.

• Choose if you would like to set it as the default printer and click Next.

• Select No when it asks to print a test page, and then click Finish.

• The Printers dialog box will reappear. Click once on the driver icon then click File and drag the

mouse to Properties.

• The printer driver settings screen will appear. Click on the different tabs to get familiar with all of the

controls. Click OK to finish the installation process.

• Printer driver installation is now complete. Store the printer driver disk in a safe place.
