INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER AND UTILITIES (SOFTWARE INSTALLATION)

The procedures for installing the printer driver and utilities (hereafter called "software") required for use of the
machine as a printer are explained in this section. There are two ways of installing the printer driver: using the installer
in the "Software CD-ROM", and using the "Add printer wizard".
To print from a Macintosh environment, the optional PS3 Expansion Kit is required.

1. Installation using the installer

The software programs installed and the steps for installation vary depending on the version of Windows you are
running and the type of connection to your computer. Refer to the table below and select the installation method that
matches your environment.

Installation method 1 Follow the procedure from page 5 to page 10.
Installation method 2 Follow the procedure on page 11 to page 12.
Installation method 3 Follow the procedure on page 13 to page 14.
Installation method 4 Follow the procedure on page 15 to page 16.

*1 To install the software from the CD-ROM, you must have administrator rights.
*2 Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 are not supported.

2. Installation of the printer driver using the "Add printer wizard"

Installation of the printer driver using the "Add printer wizard" is performed using basic Windows procedures.
To install the printer driver by this method, see page 17.
In case of upgrading the version of currently installed printer driver, delete the currently installed printer driver first
and then install the new printer driver.
To uninstall the printer driver, see page 16.

3. About network environments

There are several types of network environments. The explanations in this manual assume that your operating
system is Windows and that TCP/IP protocol is used in your network environment.

Use this procedure to install the software in the following environments:

1. Printer connected by LAN cable

2. Windows version: Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
The following procedure uses Windows XP as an example. Follow the same steps to install the software on other
operating systems.
Before installing the software, make sure that the machine is connected to the network with a network cable.

About network environments

There are several types of network environments. Typical environments include the following:

● Windows network environment

● NetWare network environment

● UNIX network environment

● Macintosh network environment

This manual explains peer-to-peer and server-client network connections in a Windows environment. If the machine
is used in a different network environment, see the online manual (Print Server Card User's Manual) on the "Software
CD-ROM".

■■■■ Set the IP address of the machine

Before installing the printer driver, set the IP address of the machine using the appropriate key operator
program. For this procedure, see Key Operator Programs (page 6-6) in the "Operation manual (for printer)" (in
PDF format) in the "Software CD-ROM". The factory default setting for the IP address is "DHCP", which means
that the IP address is set automatically.
If you are not using the machine in a DHCP environment, ask your network administrator for the IP address,
Subnet mask, and Default gateway to be used for the machine, and then input this information into the key
operator program.

■■■■ Installing the printer driver (standard installation)

The procedure for a standard installation of the printer driver is explained below. This procedure is normally
used when the printer driver will be used with a network connection.

To use the machine as a network printer in Windows NT 4.0, "TCP/IP Protocol" must be installed on your
computer. If this is not installed, install as explained in Windows NT 4.0 Help.
