Installation | Kyocera TASKalfa 5500i/TASKalfa 4500i specification

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.

Preparing to Install the Driver

This section describes the initial steps to take before you install the printer driver, and based on your operating system, the next procedure you can follow.

1 Turn on the computer and the printer.

In Windows 7 and Windows Vista with a USB connection, a driver installation will be made from the Microsoft Windows Update site if a certified driver is available and the system is connected to the web. We recommend you continue with the steps to install the driver for an expanded feature set. In Windows, if the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box appears during the installation process, click Cancel. If the Hardware Installation warning dialog box appears, click Continue Anyway.

2 Insert the Product Library disc into the disc drive. The Main Menu appears.

Note: If the Product Library fails to start after inserting it into the disc drive, use Windows Explorer to locate Setup.exe on the local drive and double-click to open.
