Installing Drivers and Utilities
Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:
•TWAIN (scanner) driver: Windows/MAC, USB only
•Printer driver: PCL5e (all models), PostScript3 (MFX-3090 only)
•Fax driver: Windows only; MFX-3090 only
Note
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
The MFP is a “dual device” - Windows sees it as a scanner and a printer. Therefore, you must install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver and the printer driver.
The installation instructions below refer to USB connection. For network connection details refer to the Setup/Reference Guide.
If you are running Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, you may need to follow these steps to ensure WIA service starts when using the TWAIN driver and Actkey Utility.
1.Click Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
2.Double-click Services.
3.Double-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
4.From the Startup type menu, select Automatic.
5.Under Service status, click Start.
6.Click OK.
Windows: Installing the Twain (Scanner) Driver and
Printer Drivers
TWAIN Driver: Pull versus Push Scanning
Pull Scanning = initiating a scan from your computer via software.
Push Scanning: initiating a scan by pressing a button on the MFP’s front panel
The TWAIN driver is used for “Pull Scanning”l. The TWAIN driver only works via USB connections. This means it's not possible to control the scanner over the network from your computer.
Installing the Drivers
There are two ways of installing the drivers:
20 • Getting Started
•Muratec Driver Installer Program (recommended method)
•Plug and Play (USB only)
Muratec Driver Installer Installation
Before powering up the printer
1.Run the driver installer program from the CD-ROM supplied with your unit.
2.Plug in the printer and switch it on.
Windows completes the installation of the TWAIN and printer drivers automatically.
Plug and Play Installation
When the MFP is plugged into a PC using a USB cable, you'll be prompted to install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver first and then the printer driver.
1.Attach the printer to a USB port on your computer.
2.Switch on the Printer.
3.Insert the Drivers & Utilities CD-ROM supplied with you unit.
Note7
If the CD-ROM runs automatically, cancel the dialog box.
The ‘New Hardware Found' screen displays.
If you do not see the ‘New Hardware Found' screen, please check that the power and USB cables are connected properly, and the printer is switched on.
21 • Getting Started
4. Install the TWAIN driver first
22 • Getting Started
5. Next install the Printer driver
Mac OS X: Installing the Printer Driver
The information in this section is based on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). Other versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.
1.Insert the CD-ROM and run the Muratec driver installer program.
2.Follow the on-screen instructions to install the printer driver.
3.Attach the printer to a USB port on your computer.
4.Switch on the printer.
5.Choose Apple Menu > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
6.If the printer is already in the list of printers, click “-” to remove it.
Note
This is necessary as Leopard may not be using the correct printer driver files.
23 • Getting Started
7.Click “+” to add a new printer.
8.Click More Printers.
9.Choose Muratec USB from the pop-up menu.
10.Select your printer model and click Add.
The printer is added to the list of printers.
11.Restart your computer.
Note
Please refer to the readme file on the CD-ROM for details on installing the appropriate Macintosh driver.
MFX-3090: You can choose PCL or PS driver on the Macintosh Operating System.
Fax Driver: Windows Only
The fax driver allows you to send faxes directly from your computer without printing the document first. With the fax driver you are sending the fax data from your computer to the MFP, and then the MFP automatically sends the document.
Windows XP has built-in fax support: you can use your computer’s modem to send faxes directly from your computer.
Installing the Fax Driver
This is installed as part of the Muratec driver installer wizard.

Paper Recommendations
Your MFP will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.
Standard Paper: The best performance will be obtained when using standard 60 to 120 g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.
Not Recommended: Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Letterhead Stationery: Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.
Tray 1
The paper tray can handle paper weights of 16 to 32 lb. US Bond (60 to 120 g/m²).

Note
The optional second tray can also handle the above paper sizes except for Statement.
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (the optional 2nd or the multi purpose tray) you can have the MFP switch to another tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Printer menu.
28 • Getting Started
Multi Purpose Tray
The multi purpose tray can handle the same media sizes as the cassette trays but in weights from 60g/m² up to 163g/m². For very heavy paper stock, use the face up (rear cover) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the MFP is almost straight.
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of 10 mm for the MFX-3090 and one sheet at a
time for the MFX-3070.

Envelopes
Caution!
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.
Transparencies
Caution!
Do not use transparencies designed for use in color laser printers and photocopiers.
Recommended type is CG3300 by 3M (A4 or Letter size).
Labels
Caution!
Labels should cover entire carrier sheet. The carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any part of the printer.
Face Down Stacker
The face down stacker on the top of the MFP can hold up to 150 sheets of 64g/m² standard paper and can handle paper stocks up to 120g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).
Face Up Stacker
For the face up stacker, cover at the rear of the MFP should be opened when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for heavy paper stocks.
Duplex Unit
The duplex unit provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 75-105g/ m².
