Installing optional printer software

If you want to use any of the other software applications available on the drivers CD, now is a good time to set them up.

Local Printer Settings Utility

The Local Printer Settings Utility, a printer configuration utility, gives you the ability to change and save printer settings on a locally (USB and parallel) connected printer. User default settings remain in effect until you make other selections, or until you restore the original printer settings (called preset factory default settings). The configurable settings are organized according to menu. You can change settings such as Toner Darkness, Power Saver, Default Paper Size, and Default Paper Type.
