Walk-Up Installation

The Dell Installer enables quick and easy installation of the printer driver. The installer is
included on the Software and Documentation CD, supplied with the printer, and is available on
the web. When you run the installer, the main screen lists the Dell printers of that model
discovered on the network or connected via USB. You can choose one of the discovered
printers, type in the IP address of the desired printer, or use Walk-Up Technology. This
technology is especially helpful when there is more than one Dell printer on the discovered
printers list and you don’t know the printer’s IP address.

To use Walk-Up installation:

1.

On the main installer screen, select Walk-Up Technology and then click the Next button.

2.

On the printer control panel, select

Walk-Up Features

and then

Select for Installation

.

The installer connects the computer to the printer, completes the driver installation, then
the printer prints a confirmation page.

Auto-Configuring Driver

During installation, the bi-directional communication between the driver and a printer
connected to a network identifies the printer’s configuration (dn) and the features available
with the configuration, such as duplexing capability, additional trays, or a hard drive. The
controls for settings, such as two-sided printing, tray selection, and secure printing are
displayed or hidden/grayed out, and the mimic displays the correct printer configuration. This
driver feature prevents users from making incorrect selections during installation.
