How to install Zan Image Printer

To install Zan Image Printer on your computer system, you must have administrator rights.

Step 1:  Go to our website at http://www.zan1011.com and download the trial version from the download page. If you downloaded the Zan Image Printer driver in ZIP file format from our website, first save it to your hard disk and then unzip it to a folder of your choice.
If you downloaded the Zan Image Printer in exe file format, simply save it to your hard disk.

Step 2:  Locate the exe file you just saved or unzipped, and double click on it to start the installer.
The setup will start and show the setup options dialog.

As shown above, Zan Image Printer allows you to create and maintain multiple virtual printers (up to 20 per installation). Each virtual printer can have its own settings independent of the other printers. We suggest that you give each printer a distinct name which will remind you of the settings.

By default, the setup installs two virtual printers on your machine, one defaults to Color mode, the other defaults to Black & White mode.
The Black & White mode only allows printing monochrome BMP, GIF, PDF, PNG and TIFF files, but it has the advantage of quickly saving documents. The Color mode allows you to print to monochrome, 256, grayscale and true color images, but at the cost of slower printing speed.

Installation Folder/Browse
Allows you to choose the folder where the Zan Image Printer files will be installed. If you accepted the defaults, the installation directory is c:\Program Files\zvprt50.
The Browse button displays a standard Browse for Folder dialog box.

The printer list
The printer list displays a list of printers to be installed on your computer.
In this printer list, you can:
  • Select the printers to be installed.
  • Right click the printer name to display a context menu with Settings, Delete, and New options.
  • Double click the printer name to open a property sheet with 4 pages (Printer, DPI, Paper Size, Color) to provide printer settings and feature selection.
