General information
Index-direct-Braille is included
Index-direct-Braille is automatically installed with the driver. If you require
an installer without Index-direct-Braille, please contact Index Braille
support.
MSI-based installer
The installer for this driver is now based on MSI. This should alleviate most
of the problems of previous installers. If you require the specific MSI-
files, e.g. if you need to perform silent/automatic installs on a domain,
please contact Index Braille support.
Installation
Before proceeding to install version 8.2.1.5, please ensure that any previous
drivers are removed. The easiest way to do this is to run the driver-cleanup
available in ibPrint v7.0.0 and above. Since this driver includes Index-direct-
Braille, you will also need to remove any existing installation of Index-direct-
Braille.
Once all previous drivers and Index-direct-Braille is removed, simply start the
installer and follow the instructions.
