Installing the driver software

You must install the printer driver software for printing. The software

whenever machine in turned on, we recommend you to use the Bonjour

program. Go to the http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/

download/, select the program Bonjour for Windows according to your

computer operating system, and install the program. In case of Mac OS X,

this program might be already installed in your PC. This program will allow

you to fix the network parameter automatically. This Bonjour program does

not support Linux.
If your IP assignment method is static, follow the steps below.

ROM should automatically run, and an installation window appears.

drive and click OK.

If you use Windows vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2,
