NSTALLING THE OFTWARE
Note:
If installing the printer software for the first
time, assure that the printer and computer are both
turned off before performing the following procedures!
The printer software can be installed using the Windows
Plug-and-Play feature or by using the NEC Meta Installer.
The Meta Installer is software, located on the SuperScript
950C Printing Solutions CD, that installs all the printer
software without having to use the Windows Plug-and-
Play feature.
Note:
NEC recommends using the Meta Installer
method to install the printer software.

Using Windows Plug-and-Play

Windows Plug-and-Play is a feature of Windows 95 and 98
that automatically recognizes when new hardware is
connected to the computer. If the printer is connected to
the computer with an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable,
Windows will be aware of it and begin asking you for
information so it can install the printer software. This
procedure will only install the printer driver.
Note:
If you started your system at an earlier time,
then canceled out of the Windows Plug-and-Play
installation, use the NEC Meta Installer method.
To install a printer driver using Windows Plug-and-Play:
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Turn on your computer and while it starts, it will
become aware of the new printer connected to it.
3. Follow the instructions displayed on your monitor.
4. If asked to locate any files, just navigate to the root
directory of the SuperScript 950C Printing Solutions CD.
5. After the installation is completed, align the print
cartridges as described in Chapter 3, "Print Cartridge
Care and Use."
