NOTE: For detailed information about the label printing system,
see the Apollo 1 Operator’s Guide and the Apollo 1 Service Man-

If the label printing system is being installed for the first time on your
PS288, the WinAH400.ini file may need to be edited.

1a) Using Windows Explorer, open C:\AH400_32\WinAH400.ini.with
NOTEPAD editor.
1b) Locate the section
;------- marking system settings -----
1c) Ensure the value for Marking System corresponds to the label printing
system installed on your PS288. For example, if your label printing
system is Apollo, the value should look like this:
;MarkerSystem=M&R
;MarkerSystem=M&R+TAPE
MarkerSystem=BRADY_APOLLO
1d) Save the WinAH400.ini file and exit Windows Explorer.
