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. 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. In the Product Library window you can also
uninstall drivers and utilities with the Uninstall option.
You can click Maintenance to run certain utilities from the Product Library
window. Click Documents to access the release notes, printing system
operation guide, and other materials. With Upgrade you can update the driver
and utilities to a newer version. Upgrade is only available if there is a product
that needs to be upgraded. (Selections vary according to printing system model,
optional devices, or driver version.)
Note: In Windows operating systems, you must be logged in with
administrator rights to install the printer driver.
Preparing to Install the Driver
This section describes the initial steps to take before you install the printer
driver.
In Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista with a USB connection, a driver
installation can be made 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 supplied installation disc for an expanded
feature set. In Windows, if the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box
appears during the installation process, click Cancel. If the HardwareInstallation warning dialog box appears, click Continue Anyway.
Turn on the computer and the printer.
1
Insert the Product Library disc into the disc drive. The application should start
2
automatically.
Note: If the Product Library fails to start after inserting it into the disc drive,
use Windows Explorer to locate Setup.exe on the local drive and double-click
to open.
The Product Library window appears with the license dialog box. Read the
3
license agreement and then click Accept to proceed.
At the bottom of the Product Library window, select your language from the
4
list.

European Default Duplex
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. This can be set in the printer driver installation process for European
locations only.
After clicking Accept in the license dialog box, if the operating system locale is
EU and time zone is GMT 0, GMT +1 or GMT +2, a message about resource
and energy conservation appears. Read the message, and then click OK.
After installation is successful, an Enable Duplex check box is displayed on the
Finished page. Select the check box to have the driver automatically default to
duplex mode. Exceptions to the default can afterward be made by selecting
options in the driver Quick Print or Basic tabs.
Express Install
Express Install refers to quick device, driver, and utility installation for a USB or
network connection. The installation application discovers printing devices that
are turned on, and connected by USB or network cable. One or more feature
packages can be installed together.

2
memory by clicking the up and down arrows until the text box shows the correct
number of megabytes (MB).
If your printing system includes the Auto Configure feature, you can use it to
obtain information about the memory size.
The RAM disk functions as a virtual storage device, saving print requests into
the printing system’s memory. Because the RAM disk is temporary memory, all
data stored there is lost when the power is turned off.
In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as
a restricted user.
Note: When a storage device is installed, the RAM disk feature is inactive.
If selected, the Ignore application collation feature in the CompatibilitySettings dialog box lets the driver control collation. RAM disk can then increase
the print speed of collated multiple copies by sending the print job just once.

SNMP
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. Using the AutoConfigure feature, SNMP security levels are set. 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.
For some models, SNMPv3 is enabled when an optional network card is
installed. These settings must match the network card settings. The network
card has settings for both an authentication password and an encryption
password, but they must both match the driver password.
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.
(The network card does not support AES encrypted communication.)
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
3-8User Guide
Device Settings
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.
