To connect the printer before installing the software
If you connected the printer to the computer before installing the printer software, the Found New
Hardware wizard appeared on the computer screen.
NOTE If you have turned on the printer, do not turn off the printer or unplug the cable from
the printer while the installation program is running. If you do so, the installation program will
not finish.
1. In the Found New Hardware dialog box that provides the option for selecting a method to locate
the driver, select the advanced option and click Next.
NOTE Do not allow the Found New Hardware wizard to perform an automatic search for
the driver.
2. Select the check box for specifying the driver location, and then ensure that the other check
boxes are clear.
3. Insert the Starter CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the CD menu appears, close the CD menu.
4. Browse to locate the root directory on the Starter CD (for example, D:), and then click OK.
5. Click Next, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
6. Click Finish to close the Found New Hardware wizard. The wizard automatically starts the
installation program (this might take a short time). For Windows 98 and Windows Me, you must
complete the installation program if you wish to install a non-English driver.

Toolbox, which you are recommended to install. For instructions about installing these
components, see
