Printer Driver v
1 Installation
A printer driver is an application that manages communication between a printer
and your computer.
Once installed, the printer driver settings must be configured in the printer
Properties and Printing Preferences.
In the Product Library window, there are two methods of installation. Express
Install is a quick way to install a driver and certain features in package form.
With Custom Install, you select from individual drivers and utilities.
With Upgrade, you can update the driver and utilities to a newer version. This
feature is only available if there is a product that needs to be upgraded. In a
client/server environment, you cannot upgrade older drivers. Contact your
printing system dealer for more information.
With Maintenance, you can run certain utilities. You can access release notes,
the printing system operation guide, and other materials by selecting
Documents. With Uninstall, you can remove drivers and utilities.
Note: In Windows operating systems, you must be logged in with
administrator rights to install the printer driver.
The Driver
In Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2,
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2,
Windows Server 2008 with an optional USB connection, you can install a driver
from the Microsoft Windows Update site if a certified driver is available and the
system is connected to the web.
We recommend you continue to install the driver from the Product Library disk
for an expanded feature set. In Windows, if the Found New Hardware Wizard
dialog box appears during the installation process, click Cancel. If the
Hardware Installation warning dialog box appears, click Continue Anyway.
Preparing to Install the Driver
Turn on the computer and the printer.
1
Insert the Product Library disk into the disk drive. The application should start
2
automatically.
Note: If the Product Library fails to start after inserting it into the disk drive,
use Windows Explorer to locate Setup.exe on the local drive and double-click
to open.
To proceed, read and accept the license agreement that appears.
3
User Guide1-1
At the bottom of the Product Library window, select your language from the
4
list.
Resource and Energy Saving
Printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (duplex mode) reduces paper
consumption and helps conserve environmental resources. Duplex mode also
lowers costs by reducing the amount of paper that must be purchased. We
recommend that printing systems capable of duplex printing use duplex mode
by default.
After clicking Accept in the license dialog box, depending on your region, a
message about resource and energy conservation may appear. Read the
message, and then click OK.
After installation is successful, Set Duplex as default appears and is selected
on the Finished page. The driver is set to duplex mode by default.
You can make exceptions to the default later by selecting options in the driver
Quick Print or Basic tabs.
SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol
that governs the management of devices agents, and network management
systems. Managed devices, such as printing systems, collect and store
management information for the network management systems.
With the SNMP Settings icon, you can specify an SNMP v1/v2 Read
community name that is used during device discovery. This name is like a
password for SNMP communication. The default name is public.
You can also specify support for SNMPv3 encryption and authentication by
selecting from the options provided.
If a discovery is in process, or at least one discovery device has been added to
the Devices list, the SNMP Settings icon is unavailable.
Installation
Note: SNMP settings selected during Installation do not affect selecting
SNMP settings in Device Settings > Administrator > General.
Selecting SNMP Settings
In the Product Library window, click Express Install or Custom Install.
1
Under the Device box, click the SNMP Settings icon.
2
In the Product Library dialog box, you can choose from either of these options:
3
Use SNMP v1/v2
Type a Read Community name.
Use SNMP v3
Type a User name and Password, and if desired, an option for
Authentication and Privacy.
You can click Reset to default if you want to return the default setting.

cable, and ensure that it is connected properly. Click the Refresh icon to
rediscover devices.
You can also find a device by typing a partial or full search term in the search
3
text box above the device list. You can search the discovered devices by model
name, IP address, host name, or USB port. The results are displayed in the
device list. If the search finds your device, select it. Click the x icon to clear the
text box, and return to the list of all discovered devices.
You can select Use host name as port name to use a host name for the
4
Standard TCP/IP port. (Not available with a USB connection.)

SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol
that governs the management of devices agents, and network management
systems. Managed devices, such as printing systems, collect and store
management information for the network management systems. SNMP security
levels are specified by settings in the SNMP settings dialog box. With
SNMPv3, encryption and authentication support are provided. SNMP settings
must be made in the printer driver and in the printing system’s home page.
The following SNMP options are available:
SNMPv1/v2c
It communicates with the managed device using Read community name
and Write community name.
SNMPv3
Security enhancements for authentication and encryption require a user
name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by
clicking Settings.
Apply to other models
This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected
SNMP settings.
SNMPv3 Options
You can select SNMPv3 options for secure communication with the printing
system.
Authentication
This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived
intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are hash
algorithms used to authenticate packet data.
MD5
This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value.
SHA1
This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long. SHA1 is the
successor to MD5.
Privacy
This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after you
select the Authentication option. You may select one Privacy option.
DES
This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption. DES turns
cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts
data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key.
AES
This option uses the Advanced Encryption Standard for encryption. AES is a
symmetric block cipher that can process data blocks of 128 bits, using cipher
keys with lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits. It is more secure than DES.
