menu settings page and a network setup page.

Utilities CD.
Disable Windows XP Firewall
If your printer is connected directly to a network and the Windows XP firewall is enabled, you
cannot view your networked printer(s) when you run the printer installation software. To
prevent this situation, disable the Windows XP firewall before you install the printer software.
To disable or enable your XP firewall, perform the following steps.
NOTICE: Dell recommends that you enable your Windows XP firewall after you install the printer
software. Enabling the Windows XP firewall after you install the printer software does not limit the
use of your network printer.

2 In the Search box, type firewall , and then click the green arrow.
3 In the Pick a Task list, click Enable or disable Internet Connection Firewall, and then
follow the instructions on the screen.
After you have disabled the Windows XP firewall, continue with printer installation.
