ABOUT THE SOFTWARE CD-ROM

The CD-ROM that accompanies the printer expansion kit contains the following software:

• Printer driver

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine. The CD-ROM contains the PCL6 and PCL5 printer drivers*

• Printer Status Monitor*

This allows you to check the status of the network printer on your computer screen.

• Printer Administration Utility*

This is a utility that allows administrators to check the status of the printer and change settings.

• Discover and Link Tool

This is used to configure and check the IP address of the machine, which is used when the machine is connected to a network.

• SC-Print 2000

This is used to create a port to enable the machine to be used as a network printer in Windows 95/98/Me. SC-Print2000 can be used to create an LPR port (Line Printer Remote port) that enables printing when the machine is connected to the same network as your computer, or an IPP port (Internet Printing Protocol port) that enables printing via the Internet.

• Acrobat Reader

Software that allows you to view the online printer manual on your computer.

and the PS printer driver*2.

*1 It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a problem printing from older software

using the PCL6 printer driver, use the PCL5e printer driver.

*2 To use the Printer Status Monitor and the Printer Administration Utility, the printer must be connected to a

network running TCP/IP protocol.

*3 If you are installing the Printer Administration Utility in Windows 95, a system file must be updated before

the utility can be installed. For more information, click the "Display README" button in the select packages window of the installer. (p.16)
