The driver software lets your Windows 95/98 applications communicate across an appropriate network bridge with a Splash Server, which processes your print jobs and sends them to the printer/ copier. Thus, you can develop documents with Windows-based applications, and then print your work on the Splash printer. This on-line manual describes how to install and use the Splash driver for Windows 95/98. If you are not already familiar with Windows 95/98 procedures and conventions, please refer to your Microsoft documentation before you attempt to print to Splash. System Requirements The Splash Windows 95/98 driver requires the following hardware and software: s An IBM AT or PS/2 (or 100%-compatible) computer with an 80486 or higher processor One 3.5" floppy disk drive, high-density (1.4MB) capacity Hard disk drive CD-ROM Drive At least 8 MB of RAM Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98 Network hardware that works with the built-in Windows 95/98 drivers to connect your PC to the Splash print queue on the Novell or NT server Refer to your Windows 95 or Windows 98 documentation for a description of compatible hardware. s s s s s s Introduction Page 5 Page 6 Printing to Splash v4.0 From Windows 95/98 Chapter 1 Setting Up for Printing to Splash This chapter explains how to connect your PC to the Splash printer/copier and how to install the Splash Windows 95/98 Client software. You can use the Splash custom Adobe PostScript Printer driver or the standard Windows 95/98 PostScript Printer Driver. In most cases, you should use the Splash custom driver as this is the only way that you can access all the special features of your Splash printer. Connecting Your Computer to the Splash Printer Before you can install the Splash Windows 95/98 Client software, you must establish a network connection to the Splash printer. This connection can be made through software that connects the PC to an AppleTalk network, or through a Novell NetWare or NT print spooler that has been configured for printing to Splash. If your PC can connect to a Windows NT or Novell NetWare server, you can have a print spooler set up for printing to Splash. The system administrator responsible for setting up print spoolers should refer to the appropriate Windows NT or Novell NetWare documentation, and the Splash NetWare Direct documentation for instructions on how to do this. (See the chapter, "Setting Up TCP/IP and NetWare Direct Printing to Splash" in the Splash Reference on-line manual.) If a Windows NT or Novell NetWare print spooler is not available, you must install an application such as MACLAN Connect to enable your PC to connect to an AppleTalk network.
