APPENDIX A: SUPPLIED SOFTWARE
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
™
lets you print labels with your Solus
printer using virtually any Windows application.
• LabelMagic
™
is a full-featured WYSIWYG label layout and printing
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, SETUP.EXE, is provided with the
Intellidriver. Install the desired printer drivers by running SETUP.EXE
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 README.TXT file on
the Intellidriver disk for detailed operating instructions.
LabelMagic installation and use
An automatic installation program, SETUP.EXE, is provided on the
LabelMagic installation disk. Install LabelMagic by running SETUP.EXE
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 README.TXT file on the LabelMagic
installation disk for detailed operating instructions.
