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. 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

1

2

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 Hardware Installation warning dialog box appears, click Continue Anyway.

Turn on the computer and the printer.

Insert the Product Library disc into the disc drive. The application should start 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.

3

The Product Library window appears with the license dialog box. Read the

 

license agreement and then click Accept to proceed.

4

At the bottom of the Product Library window, select your language from the

 

list.

Installation

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.

Installing with Express Install

 

This section describes the express installation procedure of devices, drivers,

 

and utilities in Windows operating systems.

 

If the installer cannot find your printing system, contact your system

 

administrator.

 

 

 

Note: You must install .NET Framework 4.0 or later to use Status Monitor.

1

 

Ensure that your printing system and computer are turned on and connected by

 

USB or network cable.

2

In the Express Install window, the installer looks for your printing system. Each

 

discovered device is displayed in the device list as an icon with a model name

 

and location (USB port or IP address).

 

If your device is discovered, select your model in the device list.

 

If discovery does not find your device, remove and reinsert the USB or network

 

cable, and ensure that it is connected properly. Click the circular arrow icon to

 

refresh the discovery.

3

You can also find a device by typing a partial or full search term in the search

 

text box above the device list. You can search the discovered devices by model

 

name, IP address, 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.

4

You can select Use host name as port name to use a host name for the

 

Standard TCP/IP port. (Not available with a USB connection.)

first tab you see when you open the driver.

 

The Set Basic tab as default option makes the Basic tab the first tab you

 

see when you open the driver.

 

The Hide other tabs option makes the Quick Print tab the only tab in the

 

driver.

8

To exit the installer application click Finish.

 

A message may appear if there is a software installation failure. After clicking

 

Finish, retry the installation. If the same message appears again, contact your

 

system administrator.

The installation of the printing system is now complete. If prompted, restart your computer.

Custom Install

Custom Install applies to detailed device, driver, and utility installation for a USB or network connection. The installer can discover devices that are turned on, and connected by USB or network cable, or you can manually select your own printing system model and port name.

When you make a selection in the Custom Install window, it is highlighted with a blue background. Drag and drop functionality is supported. You can click an

arrow to expand or collapse a selection box. You can install more than one product from each list, but they must be selected and moved to the Products to Install list.

In Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012 only, the XML Paper Specification (XPS) driver provides the most efficient method for displaying, processing, and printing documents.

Installing with Custom Install

 

This section describes the custom installation of printing devices, drivers, and

 

utilities in Windows operating systems. If you want to install utilities only, see the

 

next section for details.

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 Auto Configure 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

3-8

User 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.
