PrintServer you are currently installing.

does not, click the

Start

button and choose

Run

. In the box that appears, enter

D:\SetupWizard.exe

(if “D” is

the letter of your CD-ROM drive).

2.

When you see the

Welcome

screen, click

Click Here to Start

to begin the installation. Click

Exit

to end the

installation. Click

User Guide

button to view the User Guide.

3.

If this is the first time you have installed the PrintServer, click

Set up PrintServer

. If you have already
