1 Installation

A printer driver is an application that manages communication between a printer and your computer. Once installed, the printer driver settings must be configured in the printer Properties and Printing Preferences.

Note: In Windows operating systems, you must be logged in with administrator rights to install the printer driver. If you connect a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable before printer driver installation, it is strongly recommended that you cancel the Found New Hardware Wizard and install the software through the Product Library CD menu. Browsing the CD and installing each driver separately is not recommended.
