Solution
This section describes the procedure for installing the printer driver from the supplied CD-ROM (CD-ROM Setup). If you install the printer driver from the CD-ROM supplied with the printer, you can configure the printer to print in a network environment by setting the IP address and creating a port at once.
IMPORTANT
Operational requirements and restrictions are indicated at the end of this page. Be sure to read these items carefully in order to operate the printer correctly, and to avoid damage to the printer.
1. Make sure that the computer and printer are connected via the network.
2. Make sure that the printer is ON.
3. Turn the computer on and start up Windows.
4. Insert the CD-ROM supplied with the printer into the CD-ROM drive.
If the CD-ROM is already in the drive, eject the disk and re-insert it into the drive.
NOTE
If CD-ROM Setup does not appear, select [Run] from the [Start] menu, enter "D:\English\MInst.exe", and then click [OK]. (The CD-ROM drive name is indicated as "D:" in this troubleshooting. The CD-ROM drive name may differ depending on the computer you are using.)
