• Close the browser you are using but do not  log off of the network. 
• Double click AIR file (You may see the full file name, AIR.BAT  if you have extensions visible).

PLEASE NOTE: If you have an anti-spyware program running, you may be asked to confirm a change to HOSTS file when you run AIR.BAT file.

• Double click AIR_CopyPrint_W2K.  (You may see the full file name,  AIR_CopyPrint_W2K.exe, if you have extensions visible).
