To Install Additional Printers
For each USB printer installed after the initial USB installation, follow these
instructions:
1. Load supplies and then power on the printer. See “Prepare the Printer” for
the steps to follow.
2. Log on to the PC as a user with Administrator access.
3. Connect the printer to the PC using a USB cable.
4. The operating system detects the new device. It might display a popup during
installation.
5. If the operating system does not display a popup within a few minutes, check
the Printers window to see if the icon for the new printer is displayed. At
times, the software installs without displaying the popup.
6. The operating system usually uses the existing driver files to install the driver
for this printer. Insert the driver CD only if you are prompted for it.
Using more than one printer on a PC
When using more than one printer on a PC, keep the following in mind:
• Select the printer to use in the ID software or other application. Card jobs will
be sent to the selected printer even if more than one card printer is attached to
the PC.
• When messages are displayed, the title bar of the message box displays the
name of the printer causing the message. Keep track of which printer has
which name.
• Each printer has its own icon in the Printers window, and each printer has
separate Properties and Printing Preferences dialog boxes. Settings are not
shared among printers.
Prepare the Printer
Prepare the printer to print cards by installing supplies including blank card
stock, print ribbon, cleaning roller, and optional equipment. For more
information on optional equipment, see Install Printer Options.
