Step 8  
Installing the Printer Driver  
Install the printer driver to control the printer from your computer.  
You can install the printer driver for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows  
NT 4.0, Windows 3.1 or MS-DOS from the Printer Driver CD-ROM.  
Follow the instructions below and for more details, see the User’s Manual  
that came with your printer.  
Windows 95/98  
We recommend that the printer driver be installed using the CD-ROM’s  
installer. If the driver is installed using plug-and-play, the Driver directory on the  
CD-ROM must be specified.  
Note  
• When the printer driver is installed using plug-and-play, the Status Display,  
the Control Panel, the uninstall.exe file, and the Driver Help will not be in-  
stalled.  
Installing from the CD-ROM (Auto Run)  
1. Turn on your computer and start up Windows 95 or Windows 98.  
2. Insert the Printer Driver CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.  
3. The opening screen is automatically displayed. Click on the PCL Driver  
menu to start the installer.

• The configuration of some computers may prevent the opening screen from  
appearing automatically. If the screen does not appear, double-click In-  
stall.exe from the CD-ROM.  
• The printer driver must be installed using the CD-ROM’s installer. Do not  
use the Add Printer wizard from the Printers folder. Installation through the  
Add Printer wizard will prevent the printer from performing properly.  
• Do not check Jogging Tray when it appears in the installation dialog for  
registering additional options. This printer does not support jogging tray  
compatibility.  
After installing the printer driver, the Minolta PageWorks/Pro 18 printer  
icon appears in the Printers folder.
