Installing the PocketJet II Windows 95,98,Me Driver

 

To Install a driver downloaded from the Pentax website:

1.    Extract all files from the downloaded ZIP file to a folder on your computer. Refer to this folder as <folder>.

2.    Follow instructions below, beginning with using the Auto Install method.

3.    When following instructions below, use <folder> instead of <CD Drive> and <My Computer> instead of <CD>

 

To install driver from the Installation CD:

 

Method 1: To Install Using “Auto Install” program (PJ2-Install-Win9xMeNT.exe):

1.    Place the Installation CD into <CD Drive>

2.    Using Windows Explorer, browse the CD to find the folder: <CD Drive>:\PJ2\Win9xMe

3.    Double-click “PJ2-Install-Win9xMeNT.exe”

4.    Follow the on-screen instructions to setup the printer as desired

5.    To customize the printer settings to non-default behavior, refer to links below regarding Custom Features.

 

Note: If the “auto install” program is unable to locate the Microsoft Universal Printer Driver files on your computer, a message will appear requesting the use of the Add Printer Wizard. In this case, refer to the following instructions for using the “Add Printer Wizard” to install the driver.

 

Method 2: To Install using “Add Printer Wizard”:

1.    Place the Installation CD into <CD drive>

2.    Choose Start:Settings:Printers

3.    Double-click "Add Printer"

4.    Click "Next"

5.    Select "Local Printer" and "Next" (This step is not required on all versions of Windows 95/98/Me)

6.    Choose "Have Disk..."

7.    Choose "Browse", select "<CD Drive>:\PJ2\WIN9xMe" directory, "PJII95.INF", "OK", and "OK" again

8.    It now should say "Pentax PocketJet II". Click "Next"

9.    Follow the on-screen instructions to setup the printer as desired

 

10.  You may be prompted to "Insert your Windows 95/98/Me CD" when trying to install ICONLIB.DLL, UNIDRV.DLL, and UNIDRV.HLP. (NOTE: WinMe typically does not require this step)

a.    If you have your Windows 95/98/Me CD or diskettes, insert them into the appropriate drive. Then, click OK.

 

b.    If you do NOT have your 95/98/Me installation CD-ROM or diskettes, the required files are probably already on your system and do not need to be reinstalled. Choose "Skip File" instead. You will need to repeat the "Skip File" selection three times for each of the three UNIDRV files being installed.

 

c.     If you have tried (b) and the driver does not work because these files are not on your system, please contact Technical Support

.

11.  If "Print Test Page" has been chosen in Step #9 the printer should now be printing IF the PocketJet is connected to the output device, printer is turned on, and paper has been inserted into the printer.

 

12.  To customize the printer settings to non-default behavior, refer to links below regarding Custom Features.

 

To Uninstall:

1.    Choose Start:Settings:Printers
