Before you install the printer software

Before you install the printer software and fonts, you need to protect your original disks (by locking them and making copies of them—if your printer software was shipped on a CD-ROM disc, you can skip this step) and make sure you have the correct version of system software.

Installing the printer software

IMPORTANT Do not “drag install” the printer software. If you do, the files won’t be properly decompressed and won’t work.

Installing from the CD-ROM disc

1Quit any programs you are running.

2Turn off any automatic virus-detection programs you have on your computer.

If you don’t, problems may occur during the installation. After installation is complete, you can turn the virus-detection programs back on.

The disc’s icon appears on the desktop.

Note: Some systems require you to place the CD into a caddy before inserting it into the CD-ROM drive.

Double-click the disc icon to open the disk, if necessary.

Double-click the MACINTOSH folder, if necessary.

Double-click the INSTALL folder, if necessary.

Read the Before You Install file to check for late-breaking news.
