Software Overview 

After setting up your printer and connecting it to your computer, you must install the drivers and utilities from the Drivers and Utilities CD included with your
printer. If you purchased a Dell™ computer and your printer at the same time, the drivers and utilities are automatically installed. You don't need to install 
them. The Drivers and Utilities CD contains the following:

 

l

Dell Printer Driver– allows your computer to communicate with your printer. To use your printer as a printer in Windows, you must install the printer
driver. For information about installing the printer driver in Windows, see
