Installing the Printer Driver

This section explains how to install the printer driver. There are two ways to install the printer driver: using Quick Install, which installs the settings at once, or installing the appropriate driver according to the port you want to use.

Quick Install

Windows 95 / 98 / Me / 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0 users can easily install this software using the supplied CD-ROM.

Using Quick Install, the PCL printer driver and/or RPCS printer driver, DeskTopBinder Lite and SmartDeviceMonitor for Client are installed under network environment, and the TCP/IP port will be set.

Important

❒ To install printer driver under Windows 2000 / XP Professional, Windows

Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrator.

Form Feed

Do not use NetWare to configure form feed. Form feed is controlled by the printer driver on Windows. If NetWare form feed is configured, the printer may not print properly.

Follow the procedure below to disable form feed according to the operating system used:

• Under Windows 95 / 98 / Me, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [Printer Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

• Under Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0, clear the [Form feed] check box on the [NetWare Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

Banner Page

Do not use NetWare to configure a banner page.

Follow the procedure below to disable banner pages according to the operating system used:

• Under Windows 95 / 98 / Me, clear the [Enable banner] check box on the [Print- er Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

• Under Windows 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0, clear the [Enable banner] check box on the [NetWare Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box.

Printing after Resetting the Printer

Printer to print server connection requires 30 - 40 seconds to resume after the printer is reset. During this period, jobs may be accepted (depending on NetWare specifications) but not printed.

To print after resetting the printer as the remote printer, check on the print server that the remote printer is disconnected, or wait for two minutes before trying to print.

Under Windows 95 / 98 / Me / 2000 / XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0 with Adobe PageMaker, you need to copy PPD files to the PageMaker folder.

PPD files have the .ppd extension in the folder “DRIVERS\PS\WIN9X_ME \(Language)\DISK1” on the CD-ROM.

The “WIN9X_ME” folder inside the “PS” folder is for Windows 95 / 98 / Me. Use the folder at this level that is appropriate for the operating system you are currently using.

The third folder “(Language)” may be substituted by an appropriate language name.

Copy the .ppd file to the PageMaker folder.

• For PageMaker 6.0 default installation The directory is “C:\PM6\RSRC\PPD4”.

• For PageMaker 6.5 default installation The directory is “C:\PM65\RSRC\USENGLISH\PPD4”. The “USENGLISH” may vary depending on your language selection.

• For PageMaker 7.0 default installation The directory is “C:\PM7\RSRC\USENGLISH\PPD4”. The “USENGLISH” may vary depending on your language selection.

Note

❒ If the driver is not set correctly after copying the “.ppd” file, printing may not

be performed properly.

❒ When using PageMaker, the optional features that can be selected by the

printer driver will not be active. The following procedure describes how to activate the optional printer features.

A On the [File] menu, click [Print].

The [Print Document] dialog box appears.
