INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER AND UTILITIES (SOFTWARE INSTALLATION)

The procedures for installing the printer driver and utilities (hereafter called "software") required for use of the machine as a printer are explained in this section. There are two ways of installing the printer driver: using the installer in the "SOFTWARE CD-ROM (1)", and using the "Add printer wizard".

To print from a Macintosh environment, the optional PS3 Expansion Kit is required.
