1. Preparing for Printing

Quick Install

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

Quick Install sets the TCP/IP port and installs DeskTopBinder and the PCL and/or RPCS driver.

• To install printer driver under Windows 2000/XP Professional, and Windows Server 2003, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrator.

• The Quick Install is not available when using this printer under USB connection.

1. Quit all applications currently running.

2. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

The installer starts.

Auto Run may not work with certain operating system settings. If this happens, launch "Setup.exe" on the CD-ROM root directory.

3. Select an interface language, and then click [OK].

The default interface language is English.

4. Click [Quick Install].

The software license agreement appears in the License Agreement dialog box.

5. After reading the agreement, click [I accept the agreement.], and then click [Next >].

6. Select the printer model you want to use in the [Select Printer] dialog box.

For network connection via TCP/IP, select the printer whose IP address is displayed in [Connect To].

For parallel connection, select the printer whose printer port is displayed in [Connect To].

7. Click [Install].

The printer driver installation starts.

8. Click [Finish].

A message about restarting the computer may appear. Restart the computer to complete installation.

9. Click [Exit] in the first dialog box of the installer, and then take out the CD-ROM.

• To stop installation of the selected software, click [Cancel] before installation is complete.

• Select a printer to whose IP address is displayed in [Connect To] to install SmartDeviceMonitor for Client when using TCP/IP.

• Download the printer driver from the supplier's web site when using under Windows NT 4.0.

1. Preparing for Printing

• Quick Install is not available for parallel connection unless bidirectional communication between the printer and computer is enabled. See p.66 "Making Option Settings for the Printer" for details about bidirectional communication between printer and computer.

• If you connect using USB, see p.53 "Installing the Printer Driver Using USB".

cable, and then turn it on again.

Windows has already configured the USB settings. Open Windows' Device Manager, and then, un-

der [Universal Serial Bus controllers], remove any conflicting devices. Conflicting devices have a [!] or [?] icon by them. Take care not to accidentally remove required devices. For details, see Windows Help.

When using Windows 2000/XP or Windows Server 2003, an erroneous device is displayed under [USB Controller] in the [Device Manager] dialog box.

Windows ME and the printer cannot be connected. Download USB Printing Support from the supplier's

website.

Search the model name you use on the supplier's website, and download USB Printing Support.
