You need to complete Microsoft’s Plug and Play before installing the driver from your printer drivers CD.

Using Windows XP with a USB or parallel cable

NOTE: Business versions of Windows XP require that you have administrative access to install printer drivers on your computer.

When you attached the cable and turned on the printer, the Found New Hardware Wizard appeared on your computer screen.

1Insert the Drivers and Utilities CD into your computer.

The Wizard automatically searches for an appropriate driver.

2Scroll through the list of drivers until you see D:\drivers\win_2000\dkaae1da.inf selected in the Location column. Instead of D:\ you will see the letter of your CD-ROM drive.

3Click Next.

The wizard copies all of the necessary files and installs the printer drivers.

4Click Finish when the software is installed.

5Launch the Drivers and Utilities CD: click Start Run and browse your CD drive (for example, type D:\ where D is the drive letter of your CD).

6Select SETUP.EXE, and then click OK.
