This document will
help you install your Windows printer drivers. Once they are installed,
please refer to the help file included with the driver for answers to the most
commonly asked questions regarding the drivers. The help file also
includes a thorough troubleshooting section.
It is
recommended that you install printer drivers using Plug and Play
whenever possible. USB printers may not function correctly unless they
are installed using Plug and Play. If your printer supports this feature,
go to Step-by-Step Installation (Plug and Play).
If you are using a
serial or TCP/IP connection, or if your printer does not support Plug and
Play, go to Step-by-Step Installation (Manual).
Note:
This driver does not support Windows 95 or NT4. If you need drivers for these
Operating Systems, you need to install InterDriver v.6.x.x. This can be
downloaded from the Intermec Global Support Site.
-
InterDriver v.6.x.x.
Removing any old
installations of Intermec InterDriver is highly recommended to ensure that the
new printer drivers will work as intended.

1.
If your printer supports Plug and Play installation
and you are using a USB or parallel connection, it is recommended that you
install the driver using Plug and Play. Turn off the printer, connect the
USB or parallel cable, and then turn on the printer.
2.
Windows should automatically detect the printer,
selecting the correct model and port. When prompted for the driver
location, enter the Installation Directory, by default X:\Intermecec\InterDriver7
- (where X represents the name of your hard drive) or the directory you
specified when extracting the files.
3. Continue with the Add Printer
wizard. Select No when asked if you want to print a test
page. The standard Windows test page procedure is designed for typical
office printers, and it does not always print properly on thermal label
printers.
4. InterDriver is now installed. You should now set up the printer driver to your
specific requirements in regard of e.g. paper size, paper type and print speed.
Detailed information about the driver is provided in the On-line Help, which
can be accessed from the driver.
Note:
At some point during
installation you may receive a warning that the driver is not digitally signed
and may not be compatible with your operating system. This driver has
been tested thoroughly with all current versions of Windows, and this message
may be disregarded.
