capability of configuring E-mail services on your PC and E-
mail server, or that you have access to a network

Step 1 Installing the Software on a
Windows 95/98/NT PC

To install the PrintraNet software on a Windows 95/98/NT
PC, execute the following steps:

1. Make sure that the PC is running an E-mail program (for

example, Microsoft Exchange) that is capable of sending
E-mail messages using either MAPI or WINSOCK.
MAPI (Messaging Applications Program Interface) is
used by most popular Windows 95/98/NT E-mail
packages, while WINSOCK is used by TCP/IP-based
mail packages.

2. Make sure that your E-mail server is capable of sending

messages across the Internet. Alternatively, if you are
communicating directly from the PC via a modem to an
Internet Service Provider, make sure that you have an
Internet mail account on the ISP, and that the PC is
configured to send E-mail using this account.

3. Make a backup copy of the PrintraNet software, and use

this backup for the installation process. Store the original
diskette in a safe place.

4. Insert the backup installation diskette into the PC. From

the Windows 95/98/NT Start button, select Run. Then
enter

A:SETUP

and press Enter to start the PrintraNet

installation program.
