III. INSTALLING THE 32-BIT PRINT SPOOLER FOR

WINDOWS 95/98

Your Quatro ID Card Printer ships with a print utility program
called the 32-Bit Print Spooler. This print spooler is for use only
with Windows 95/98. Once installed, the print spooler is able to
process your print jobs and send them to the printer at
consistently faster speeds than if sending print jobs through the
Windows print spooler. This is especially true if printing with
an ECP compatible parallel port or if printing off a network. The
32-Bit Print Spooler is ideal for printing a large number of
consecutive ID cards, for printing larger file formats (1 MB or
more), or if printing on a somewhat slower computer.

The 32-Bit Print Spooler installs just like any other standard
Windows application program. To install the 32-Bit Print
Spooler, refer to the following:

1.

Insert the 32-Bit Print Spooler diskette into your computerÕs
disk drive.

2.

Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Control
Panel.
