3-2 The Printer Driver
Installing the Windows 95 Printer Driver
Installation of the Vanguard Optima Printer Driver for Windows 95 will allow your software
program to interface with the laser system. This driver is installed the same way as most other
Windows 95 printer drivers and a simple step-by-step installation procedure is outlined below.
Complete understanding of how Windows 95 works is essential to the operation of the laser
system. Please consult the Windows 95 owners manual on its installation, use, and operation
before continuing.
