Hi,

• Connect the printer to the computer.
• Insert installation disk into CD/DVD ROM.
• Go to my computer and double click on the printers icon to run setup,
• Follow instructions till setup finishes installations.

If you don't have windows98 drivers for the printer download from here.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

Reinstall again the cd installer because its not completely installed.

But you can still use the scanner from your computer and not on the scan button of your printer.
Go to the Control Panel....Double click the Scanners & Cameras icon.. Double click the icon of your printer scanner.

Good luck.

Hi ...

If you have the driver CD that you recieved with your printer, follow the below steps to install the saftware:

1. Turn on your computer.
   
   
2. On your computer quit any open applications, including virus checkers.
   
   
3. Insert the MultiPASS MP730/700 Setup CD-ROM into your CD drive. The [MP Setup] splash screen will appear automatically.
   
   
4. 1. If MP Setup does not start automatically, on the Windows desktop, double-click My Computer (on Windows XP, click Start then click My Computer).
      
      
   2. Double-click the CD-ROM icon. If MP Setup does not start, double-click 'Setup.exe' (on Windows XP, 'Setup').
      
      
5. In the MP Setup splash screen, click 'Install MP Drivers'.
   
   Note: For Windows 2000 users, if Service Pack 1 or later is not installed, MP Setup will display a message and installation will be aborted.
   
   
6. Follow the on-screen instructions, clicking the appropriate button to move from one screen to the next.
   
   
7. MP Setup will install some system files and may prompt you to restart your computer. If you are not prompted to restart, click 'Finish' in the MP Drivers Setup window and then proceed to step 7.
   
   
8. 1. If you are prompted, make sure radio button 'Yes, I want to restart my computer now.' is selected in the MP Drivers Setup window and then click 'Finish'. DO NOT remove the CD-ROM at this stage. MP Setup splash screen will open after Windows has restarted.
      
      
   2. If you had to restart your computer and the MP Setup screen is not displayed or you closed it, on the Windows desktop, double-click My Computer (on Windows XP, click Start then click My Computer).
      
      
   3. Double-click the CD-ROM icon. If MP Setup does not start, double-click 'Setup.exe' (on Windows XP, 'Setup').
      
      
9. In the MP Setup splash screen, click 'Install MP Toolbox.'
   
   
10. Follow the on-screen instructions, clicking the appropriate button to move from one screen to the next.
    
    
11. At the MP Toolbox Setup dialog box, click 'Finish'.
    
    
12. Confirm the MultiPASS is turned on.
    
    
13. Connect the USB cable to the MP730 and computer USB ports. Windows will detect the printer and proceed to install the driver files.
    
    
14. Your MultiPASS includes additional software applications that you can install now or at a later date. To install the software, click 'Install Utility Software' and then proceed through each installation.
