Preparing to Print
Installing the Software
This manual assumes you are familiar with general Windows procedures and
practices. If you are not, see the operating instructions that come with Windows
for details.
The procedure for installing the printer driver depends on the connection with
the computer. With a parallel or Ethernet connection, Quick Install is also available. With a wireless LAN connection, check the printer and computer are communicating properly and then install the printer driver by following the
procedure used for an Ethernet connection.
• For details about the parallel/network connection, see p.25 “Quick Install” or
p.27 “Installing RPCS Printer Driver”.
• For details about the USB connection, see p.44 “Installing the Printer Driver
Using USB”.
Auto Run
Inserting the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive starts the installer automatically.
The installer helps you install the printer drivers and software easily.
Note
❒ If “plug and play” starts, click [Cancel] in [New Hardware Found], [Device Drive]
or [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box, and then insert the CD-ROM. The
[New Hardware Found], [Device Driver Wizard] or [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box appears depending on the system version of the Windows
95/98/Me/2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows NT 4.0.
❒ Auto Run might not work automatically with certain operating system set-
tings. If this happens, launch "Setup.exe", located on the CD-ROM root directory.
❒ If you want to cancel Auto Run, hold down the {SHIFT} key (if your operating
system is Windows 2000/XP or Windows Server 2003, hold down the left
{SHIFT} key) while inserting the CD-ROM. Keep the {SHIFT} key held down
until the computer has finished accessing the CD-ROM.
Limitation
❒ If your operating system is Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, or
Windows NT 4.0, installing software using Auto Run requires Administrator
permission. When you install software using Auto Run, log on using an account that has Administrators permission.
