Before installing:

• Close any open applications on your workstation before installing the Label Program, including any Virus Protection programs.

Quick instructions: Download installation files

1. Create a temporary folder in Windows Explorer (e.g., create a folder named Label in the x:\temp folder, where x is the letter of your hard drive).
2. Go to the installation instructions and begin at step 3, Download software. A compressed, self-extracting *.exe file downloads to the temporary folder you created.
3. In the temporary folder, double-click the *.exe file. In the Win-Zip Self Extractor window, click Unzip.
4. Double-click Setup.exe.
   • If you are installing the Label Program for the first time, a Setup program opens. Follow prompts to complete installation.

Upgrade or reinstall

To upgrade or reinstall the Label Program, you do not need to uninstall the previous version first. The Setup Maintenance program installs the Label Program over an existing version. In step 4 above, select one of the following:

• Modify – Click to select and add or remove individual program components to install. The Label Program keeps your existing settings for label formats and printing.
• Repair (recommended for most users) – Click to reinstall all of the new program upgrades. The Label Program keeps all of your existing settings.
