INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

This chapter explains how to install and configure the software that is required for the

printer and scanner functions of the machine.

SOFTWARE

The CD-ROM that accompanies the machine contains the following software:

MFP driver

Printer driver

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.

The printer driver includes the Print Status Window. This is a utility that monitors

the machine and informs you of the printing status, the name of the document

currently being printed, and error messages.

Scanner driver*

The scanner driver allows you to use the scanning function of the machine with

TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant applications.

Printer Status Monitor

"Printer Status Monitor" allows the user to check on the computer screen whether or

not the machine is able to print.

It provides information on error states such as paper misfeeds and shows the

configuration of the machine (number of trays, etc.) by means of illustrations.

Available paper sizes and paper remaining are also indicated.

Button Manager*

Button Manager allows you to use the scanner menus on the machine to scan a

document.

Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Tool

Sharpdesk is an integrated software environment that makes it easy to manage

documents and image files, and launch applications. Network Scanner Tool is a

utility that helps you use Scan to Desktop. Those are contained in the separate

Sharpdesk CD-ROM. If you need more details about Sharpdesk, please refer to the

"Sharpdesk Information Guide" provided on the CD-ROM. See also page 53.

* The scanning feature can only be used with computers that are connected to the

machine by a USB cable. If you are connected to the machine by a LAN connection

only the printer function can be used.

• The screen images in this manual are mainly for Windows XP. With

other versions of Windows, some screen images may be different

from those in this manual.

• Where "AL-XXXX" appears in this manual, please substitute the

name of your model for "XXXX". For the name of your model, see the

operation panel on the machine.

• This manual refers to the CD-ROM that accompanied the machine

simply as "CD-ROM".
