BEFORE INSTALLING THE

This chapter describes the software programs that allow you to use the printer and scanner functions of the machine, the CD-ROMs that contain the software, and the pages where the installation procedures can be found.

SOFTWARE

CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

The software that can be used with the machine is on the CD-ROMs that accompany the machine and the expansion kits. Before installing the software, make sure that your computer and the machine meet the system requirements described in "VERIFYING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS" (page 5).

SOFTWARE CD-ROM

The "Software CD-ROM" contains the printer driver and other software. The "Software CD-ROM" consists of 2 discs.

Disc 1

Software for Windows

• Printer driver

These allow the machine to be used as a printer.

• PCL6 and PCL5c printer driver The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5c printer control languages. 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 PCL5c printer driver.

• PS printer driver The PS printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.

• PPD driver The PPD driver enables the machine to use the standard Windows PS printer driver.

☞ WHEN THE MACHINE IS CONNECTED TO A NETWORK (page 8) ☞ WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE (page 15)

• Printer Status Monitor (can only be used when the machine is connected to a network)

This allows you to monitor the status of the machine on your computer screen.

☞ INSTALLING THE PRINTER STATUS MONITOR (page 26)

CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

Disc 2

Software for Windows

• PC-Fax driver

This enables you to send a file from your computer as a fax using the same procedure as when printing the file. (When the fax option is installed.) Even if the fax function is not installed, the PC-Fax driver can be updated using the CD-ROM in the Internet fax expansion kit to enable you to send a file from your computer as an Internet fax in the same way as you print a file.

☞ INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER / PC-FAX DRIVER (page 8)

The following software can be used only when the machine is connected to a network.

• Scanner driver (TWAIN driver)

This allows you to use the scanner function of the machine from a TWAIN-compliant software application.

☞ INSTALLING THE SCANNER DRIVER (page 28)

• Printer Administration Utility

This allows the administrator to monitor the machine and configure machine settings from a computer. To install and use the Printer Administration Utility, see the Readme file and the manual in PDF format on the "Software CD-ROM" (Disc 2). The Readme file and manual are in the following folder on the CD-ROM. (Substitute the letter of your CD-ROM drive for "R" in the following path.) R:\Sadmin\Documents\English

Software for Macintosh

• PPD file

This is the printer description file which enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer. The PS3 expansion kit is required to use the machine in a Macintosh environment.

☞ MAC OS X (v10.3.3 TO 10.4) (page 30) ☞ MAC OS X (v10.2.8) (page 33) ☞ MAC OS X (v10.1.5) (page 36) ☞ MAC OS 9.0 TO 9.2.2 (page 38)

In a Macintosh environment, the PS3 expansion kit can be installed to use the machine as a network printer. The scanner driver and PC-Fax driver cannot be used on the Macintosh.

CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

OTHER CD-ROMS

X "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the PS3 expansion kit

(for Windows/Macintosh)

This contains the display fonts that are used with the PS printer driver. (Install the PS printer driver and Macintosh PPD file from the "Software CD-ROM".)

☞ INSTALLING THE PS DISPLAY FONTS (page 40)

X "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the Internet fax

expansion kit (for Windows)

This CD-ROM is used to update the PC-Fax driver on the "Software CD-ROM" so that it can be used to send Internet faxes (PC-I-Fax function). If you wish to use the PC-I-Fax function, first install the PC-Fax driver from the "Software CD-ROM" and then run the installer on this CD-ROM. If the PC-Fax driver is already installed, run only the installer. (There is no need to reinstall the PC-Fax driver.)

☞ INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER / PC-FAX DRIVER (page 8)

X "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM (for Windows)

This contains software that helps you get the most out of the images that you scan on the machine. The software includes "Sharpdesk", a desktop document management application that enables integrated management of scanned images and files created using a variety of applications. To use the "Scan to Desktop" scanner function, the "Network Scanner Tool" must be installed from the CD-ROM. To install and use the software on the CD-ROM, see the accompanying "Sharpdesk Installation Guide".

VERIFYING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

DRIVER REQUIREMENTS

The following requirements must be met to use the drivers described in this manual.

PS printer driver, PPD driver

PC-Fax driver*

Scanner driver

Macintosh PPD file

* To use the PC-Fax driver, Internet Explorer 4.0 or later must be installed on your computer.

The PS3 expansion kit is required.

This can only be used when the facsimile expansion kit is installed. When the Internet fax expansion kit is installed, the PC-Fax driver can be updated using the "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM to enable the driver to be used as a PC-I-Fax driver. (In this case, the driver can be used without the facsimile expansion kit.)

This can only be used when the machine is connected to a network. (This cannot be used when the machine is connected by a USB cable.)

This can be used when the PS3 expansion kit is installed and the machine is connected to a network. (This cannot be used when the machine is connected by a USB cable.)

CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK

To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN cable.

After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP environment.) Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine.

• If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.

• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network environment.

CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE (Windows)

The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.) The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 15).

SETUP IN A WINDOWS

This section explains how to install the software and configure settings so that the printer and scanner function of the machine can be used with a Windows computer.

X Printing using the IPP function and the SSL function

The IPP function can be used to print to the machine over a network using HTTP protocol. When the machine is in a remote location, this function can be used in place of the fax function to print a higher quality image than a fax. The IPP function can also be used in combination with the SSL (encrypted communication) function to encrypt the print data. This enables secure printing with no concern that the data will be leaked to others.
