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.
1. Installation using the installer
The software programs installed and the steps for installation vary depending on the version of Windows you are
running and the type of connection to your computer. Refer to the table below and select the installation method that

To install the printer driver by this method, see page 16.
In case of upgrading the version of currently installed printer driver, delete the currently installed printer driver first
and then install the new printer driver.
To uninstall the printer driver, see page 15.
3. About network environments
There are several types of network environments. The explanations in this manual assume that your operating
system is Windows and that TCP/IP protocol is used in your network environment.

INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER AND UTILITIES (SOFTWARE INSTALLATION)
Installation method 1
Use this procedure to install the software in the following environments:
1. Printer connected by LAN cable
2. Windows version: Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
The following procedure uses Windows XP as an example. Follow the same steps to install the software on other
operating systems.
Before installing the software, make sure that the machine is connected to the network with a network cable.
About network environments
There are several types of network environments. Typical environments include the following:
G Windows network environment
G UNIX network environment
G NetWare network environment
G Macintosh network environment
This manual explains peer-to-peer and server-client network connections in a Windows environment. If the machine
is used in a different network environment, see the online manual (Print Server Card User's Manual) on the "Software
CD-ROM (2)".

TCP/IP protocol
Microsoft Printing Protocol
4
INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER AND UTILITIES (SOFTWARE INSTALLATION)
I Set the IP address of the machine
Before installing the printer driver, set the IP address of the machine using the appropriate key operator
program. For this procedure, see Key Operator Programs (page 5-7) in the "Operation manual (for printer)" (in
PDF format) in the "SOFTWARE CD-ROM (1)". The factory default setting for the IP address is "DHCP", which
means that the IP address is set automatically.
If you are not using the machine in a DHCP environment, ask your network administrator for the IP address,
Subnet mask, and Default gateway to be used for the machine, and then program this information.
NOTE
If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may be changed automatically on occasion. If this
happens, printing will not be possible.
To use DHCP on this machine, please configure a DHCP reservation. Or, if you make fixed IP address setting, the
problem will be resolved.
I Installing the printer driver (standard installation)
The procedure for a standard installation of the printer driver is explained below. This procedure is normally
used when the printer driver will be used with a network connection.
To use the machine as a network printer in Windows NT 4.0, "TCP/IP Protocol" and "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing"
must be installed on your computer. Make sure these are installed. If either is not installed, install as explained
in Windows NT 4.0 Help.
NOTE
When installing the printer driver, if you wish to install a display font or specify the IP address of the machine by
direct entry, select [Custom installation]. (page 7)
Insert the "SOFTWARE CD-ROM (1)" that
accompanied the machine into your CD-
ROM drive.

display fonts using the Windows installation procedure instead of the installer ([Start] - [Settings] - [Control
