INSTALLING WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVERS
==================================
The printer drivers supplied on this disk/directory are suitable
for use with Microsoft Windows NT4.0/2000. They integrate
with Microsoft's Universal Printer Driver which is used for
almost all of the standard printer installations in Windows.

Installing from floppy disk or Printer CD
-----------------------------------------
Make sure the driver disk is in the drive, then follow the
install procedure outlined below.

Drivers downloaded from the Internet or sent by email
-----------------------------------------------------
The drivers are contained in a file called Drivers.exe.
Double-click on the file to run it and extract the driver
files, noting the folder they were extracted to. Follow the
procedure below to install the drivers.

DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
=============================
1.  Open the Start menu then click on Settings, then Printers.
    The printers folder will open.

2.  Double click on the Add Printer icon.
    The Add Printer Wizard will start.

3.  Follow the instructions until you are asked to select the
    manufacturer and model of printer to use. Click on Have Disk.

4.  If installing from floppy or CD-ROM, click on the browse button
    and browse to the directory containing the drivers.
    For the floppy this normally will be A:\NT4.
    For the CD this will normally be D:\Drivers\NT4.
    The drive letter for your CD and floppy may be different.
    For downloaded drivers, browse to the folder that the drivers
    were extracted in. Click on OK in the browse window, then again
    on OK in the 'Install from Disk' window.

5.  The Add Printer Wizard now displays a list of printers. Select
    the model you are using and click on Next.

6.  Continue following the instructions in the Add Printer Wizard
    and click Finish at the end. The wizard will now install the
    printer driver file onto your system.

7.  To complete the installation it also need to install the Microsoft
    Universal Printer Driver (NT4) files. If you are running Windows
    NT4.0 these should be installed from the NT install CD (Windows NT
    Workstation or Windows NT Server). If you are running Windows 2000
    or if you do not have the NT4.0 CD, the English language version of
    the files are available in the NT4 directory of the driver disk.
    Note that installing these files will affect all printers using the
    universal driver. The latest version of the Microsoft printer driver
    files can be downloaded from Microsoft's web site in any language,
    as part of NT4 Service pack 6, but the download may take a long time.
    The files required are rasdd.dll and rasddui.dll. The rasddui.hlp
    file is not present in SP6, but is never used in practice. Use the
    English version on the driver disk.

If you wish to install drivers for other Matrix printers, you
can now find Matrix in the main list of printer manufacturers in
the Add Printer wizard, and you will not be prompted to insert the
driver disk or the NT setup CD.
