The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.
The CD-ROM contains the PCL6 and PCL5e 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.
• NICManager
This is used to configure and check the IP address of the machine, which is used when the
machine is connected to a network.
• Acrobat Reader 5.0
Software that allows you to view the online printer manual on your computer.

USING THE MACHINE IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT
2. "Network Utilities" CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains "Quick Setup" and "Standard Setup (NICManager)" which are used to
configure network settings, "SC-Print2000" which is used to create an LPR port, and an online manual

The online manual on the CD-ROM explains how to configure settings on a network other than a
TCP/IP network, such as a Netware, AppleTalk, or NetBEUI network.
Note
Caution
• SC-Print2000 is only used to create an LPR port in Windows 95/98/Me. If the printer driver is
installed as explained in this manual, the LPR port is created automatically and thus there is
normally no need to use SC-Print2000.
• NICManager is also contained in the "Software" CD-ROM. If the network settings are configured
as explained in this manual, NICManager in the "Software" CD-ROM is used to configure
machine settings.
• The term "Print Server Card" appears in the "Network Utilities" CD-ROM. Where "Print
Server Card" appears, please substitute "Network expansion kit".
• If you use the "Network Utilities" CD-ROM to configure network settings, be sure to check
the machine's Ethernet address (MAC address) by printing out the Printer Setting List as
explained in "CHECKING THE IP ADDRESS
utility is not relevant.)

Server Card" appears, please substitute "Network expansion kit".
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
You will need the following hardware and software in order to install the PPD file for Macintosh.
Operating system Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x, 10.1.5, and 10.2 to 10.2.8 (except 10.2.2)
CPU and RAM Requirements of the operating system must be satisfied.
Note
If you are using Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x, make sure that LaserWriter8 has been installed and that the
"LaserWriter8" checkbox is selected ( ) in "Extensions Manager" in "Control Panels". If not,
install it from the system CD-ROM supplied with your Macintosh computer.

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
After the network expansion kit has been installed in the
machine, connect a LAN cable to the LAN connector of
the network expansion kit.
Use a network cable that is shielded.
HOW TO RESET THE NETWORK EXPANSION KIT
To reset the network expansion kit, turn on the power while holding down the status button on the
network expansion kit. Continue to hold down the status button until a beep sounds.
