Software Overview

After setting up your multi-function printer and connecting it your computer, you must install the drivers and utilities from the Drivers and Utilities CD included with your multi-function printer. If you purchased a Dell™ computer and your multi-function printer at the same time, the drivers and utilities are automatically installed. You don't need to install them. The Drivers and Utilities CD contains the following:

Dell Printer Drivers- allows your computer to communicate with your multi-function printer. To use your multi-function printer as a printer in Windows, you must install the printer driver(s). For information about installing the printer drivers in Windows, see page 36.
