Installing the Desktop Manager
Software
If you are attempting to reinstall the Desktop Manager software, you must first
uninstall your current installation of the software. For instructions on uninstalling
the software, refer to Chapter 8, ”C50 Setup and Other Utilities in the Desktop
Manager.”
Installing in Windows 95/98 (2-4)
This section provides instructions for installing the C50 printer driver and
Desktop Manager in Windows 95/98. The system connects the printer driver to
the appropriate printer port during installation (for example, LPT1 or LPT2).
You can later change the connection if necessary.
To install the Desktop Manager:
1. Insert the installation disk into your disk drive.
2. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
The numbers in parentheses indicate the pages in the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows User’s Guide on
which you can find detailed information.

Setting Up C50 Options in the Desktop
Manager (8-2)
Since you can make changes to most option settings either on the C50 or in the
Desktop Manager, be aware of the following:
JAny option setting you make on the C50 does not display in the Desktop
Manager Setup Options dialog box.
JAny change you make to an option in the Desktop Manager overrides the
corresponding setting you may have made on the C50 device itself.
Therefore, before you make changes to these option settings, decide where you
prefer to make your changes – on the C50 or in the Desktop Manager.
Establishing a preference for changes will help you avoid inadvertently
overriding your previous settings. For example, you add speed dial assignments
on the C50. These speed dial settings are not reflected in the Desktop Manager
Setup. Later, you make speed dial assignments in the Desktop Manager. The
speed dial assignments made in the Desktop Manager override your speed dial
assignments in the C50.
To change setup options in the Desktop Manager:
1. On the Setup menu, click the group of setup options you want to change.
2. In the Setup Options dialog box, to display another group of options, click
the appropriate tab.
3. On the appropriate setup tab, specify your changes.
4. To save any changes and close the dialog box, click OK. When prompted,
choose whether or not you want to overwrite the settings on your C50.
To exit the dialog box without saving your changes, click Cancel.
When you save your changes, C50 setup options are saved in the Desktop
Manager, as well as on the C50.
The numbers in parentheses indicate the pages in the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows User’s Guide on
which you can find detailed information.
