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.

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 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.

NOTE The setup program provides options to install non-driver components such as the
Toolbox, which you are recommended to install. For instructions about installing these
components, follow the steps outlined in
To install the software before connecting the
printer .
You can also share the printer with other computers using a simple form of networking known
as locally shared networking. See
To share the printer on a locally shared network .
To share the printer on a locally shared network
In a locally shared network, the printer is connected directly to the USB connector on a selected
computer (known as the server) and is shared by other computers (clients).
NOTE When sharing a directly connected printer, use the computer that has the newest
operating system as the server. For example, if you have a computer running Windows 2000 and
another computer running an older version of Windows, use the computer running Windows 2000
as the server.
Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The computer that is connected
to the printer is slowed down when many users print to the printer.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers or Printers and
Faxes.
2. Right-click the printer icon, click Properties, and then click the Sharing tab.
3. Click the option to share the printer, and give the printer a share name.
4. If you are sharing the printer with client computers that use other versions of Windows, you can
click Additional Drivers to install their drivers as a convenience to them. This optional step requires
you to have the Starter CD in your CD drive.
