• If your printer does not work properly after the installation, try to reinstall the printer driver. See Software section for more information.

During the printer driver installation process, the driver installer detects the location information for your operating system and sets the default paper size for your printer. If you use a different Windows location, you must change the paper size to match the paper you usually use. Go to printer properties to change the paper size after installation is complete.
