operating systems and the software that is available to all users of the printer.
To install printer software for all other operating systems
Insert the software CD that came with the printer into the computer CD-ROM drive. Follow the on-
screen installation instructions.
NOTE:
If the Welcome screen does not open, click Start on the Windows task bar, click Run, type
Z:\setup (where Z is your CD drive letter), and click OK.
Printer drivers
A printer driver is the software component that provides access to printer features and provides the
means for the computer to communicate with the printer.
Printer properties (driver)
Printer properties control the printer. You can change the default settings, such as media size and type,
printing multiple pages on a single sheet of media (N-up printing), resolution, and watermarks. You can
access the printer properties in the following ways:
●
Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings for the
current software application.
●
Through the Windows operating system. This changes the default settings for all future print jobs.
NOTE:
Because many software applications use a different method of accessing the printer
properties, the following section describes the most common methods used in Windows Vista, 7,
and Windows XP.
