Installing the printer driver
The Select printer comes with a CD-ROM that contains the printer drivers for the
supported Windows operating systems. The supported operating systems are:

See “PC and software specifications” on page 6-4 for details on operating system

If the PC does not have a CD-ROM drive, request diskettes from your service
provider. (Service providers can obtain the driver as diskette images from the
partner page.) You also can download the printer driver from the Datacard Web
