device

- If something to do with this software doesn't work for you, developers and marketing people want to
know how and why
Try WinLINE
- Download the evaluation driver by clicking on the link below and following the installation instructions on the download page.
- If your output device requires connection via a serial port such as COM1 or COM2 make sure your serial cable is suitable for use with Windows and that your system is configured to use a serial output device. If your computer doesn't have a serial port, use a USB to Serial cable that is certified for use with your version of Windows. You will have to install drivers for the USB to Serial cable before you install WinLINE.
- After you have installed WinLINE and successfully printed a Windows Test Page, try printing some drawings or documents from your favorite Windows programs.
- In evaluation mode, WinLINE prints your complete output and overprints an advertizing message. Note: If you are evaulating WinLINE with a cutting device, use a pen or a blank holder instead of a blade so that you don't waste media.
- If you have any difficulty installing, configuring or printing with WinLINE, please read the FAQs and post a Technical Support request if you can't find the answer.
- When you are satisfied that WinLINE works with your system and output device the way you require, buy WinLINE licenses.
