Software

Installation

Software Utilities CD-ROM2

Software Utilities CD-ROM

If you followed all the steps in the Installation Guide that came with your

printer, then the printer is properly set up, connected to your computer,

plugged in, turned on, and ready to receive the system software, drivers, and

utilities on the Software Utilities CD-ROM.

Put the CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive, and the AutoInstaller

begins the installation process.

Automatic System Software Update

The AutoInstaller provides the option to upgrade the printer firmware when

installing a printer driver. This option may also be accessed from the

Additional Software selection on the AutoInstaller’s Main Menu.

If you attempt to download a previous version of system software, an error

page prints stating “Low Release Level.”This prevents an older version of

system software from being downloaded over a newer version.

The system software update aborts without operator intervention if the

system software on the CD-ROM is the same as, or older than, the one

currently installed on the printer controller.

 If you are installing new system software, you may have to wait up to

10 minutes for the update. Do not interrupt the process.

Drivers and Utilities

The printer driver and additional software on the Software Utilities CD-ROM

can be installed on PC, Macintosh, and other computers using any of the

following:

Windows Me

Windows 98

Windows 95 (B minimum)

Windows XP

Windows 2000

Windows NT4

Macintosh OS 9 (version 9.2.1 or

higher) or X (version 10.1.4 or

higher)

UNIX/Linux

NetWare (Versions 5 and 6)

NDPS
