Installing Drivers and Utilities

Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:

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

• Printer driver: PCL5e (all models), PostScript3 (MFX-3090 only)

• Fax driver: Windows only; MFX-3090 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.
