Installing Smart Soft

SmartJet Printer Driver

Before you can use any type of printer with your computer, you must install a printer driver. The printer driver tells the computer what kind of a printer you are using. The printer driver also controls the various settings, such as print quality and paper type. You define these settings within the printer driver, and the printer driver then communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.

To use the SmartJet as your printer, you must install the SmartJet Printer Driver in your computer. After installing the printer driver, make sure the SmartJet is selected as a default printer to use SmartJet as your printer.

SmartJet Scanner Driver

Scanner driver allows you to scan images from any graphics or OCR (optical character recognition) applications programme that supports the TWAIN standard (e.g. Presto! PageManager, Adobe Photoshop). To use the SmartJet as your scanner, you must install the SmartJet Scanner Driver in your computer.

Presto! PageManager

With Presto! PageManager, you can easily scan documents and photographs into your computer and maintain them as electronic documents. You can also use Presto! PageManager to quickly transmit scanned documents by fax or electronic mail, or to print a copy on your printer.

To use Presto! PageManager as your scanning application, you must install the Presto! PageManager in your computer.

SmartFAX RCP Utility

The SmartFAX Remote Control Programme (RCP) utility enables you to make a copy or send a fax through your SmartJet machine even when an extension phone is not connected with your SmartJet. If you install the RCP utility, the SmartFAX program is installed on your computer. The SmartFAX allows you to dial a fax number and set up advanced fax options. The display window on the SmartFAX shows the current status, and information messages and prompts.

The SmartFAX is installed on LPT1. You can change the LPT port, if necessary. See page 1.22.

SmartJet Fax Driver

The SmartJet Fax Driver allows you to use a Class-2 compatible PC-FAX application like WinFax LITE 4.0. The SmartJet Fax Driver is a Windows programme that silently runs in the background all the time. You can open the SmartJet Fax Driver display by clicking on itÕs icon in the Control Panel menu. You can also terminate the Fax Driver at any time, if necessary.

When you exit the Fax Driver, it will offer you two options. One option is to terminate the SmartJet, and the other option is to keep the Fax Driver running in the background. If you decide to terminate the Fax Driver then all current and future SmartJet usage will be terminated until you restart the SmartJet Fax Driver or restart Windows. You can also restart the SmartJet Fax Driver from the Control Panel menu at any time.

You can change the Fax Driver COM port, which should be consistent with the COM port used by PC-FAX application. Its default COM port is COM3.

1 Getting Started

¥Your SmartJet cannot perform more than one job at the same time. If you

try to use the SmartJet while it performs one job, it may malfunction.

¥It is recommended not to set automatic receiving mode through the PC-FAX

application like WinFax LITE, because it occupies the LPT port all the time and you cannot use your SmartJet for printing, scanning, or any other job.
