Installing Drivers and Utilities

Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:

•TWAIN (scanner) driver: Windows only, USB only

•Fax driver: Windows only, MB470 MFP & MB480 MFP only

Note

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

The MFP is a “dual device” - Windows sees it as a scanner and a printer. Therefore, you must install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver and the printer driver.

The installation instructions below refer to USB connection. For network connection details refer to the Setup/Reference Guide.

If you are running Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, you may need to follow these steps to ensure WIA service starts when using the TWAIN driver and Actkey Utility.

1.Click Start > Administrative Tools > Services.

2.Double-click Services.

3.Double-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).

4.From the Startup type menu, select Automatic.

5.Under Service status, click Start.

6.Click OK.
