User Setup Disk Creating Tool
The  User Setup Disk Creating Tool  program located in the MakeDisk folder 
of the Utilities  folder on the 
Drivers and Utilities CD and the printer drivers 
located on the 
Drivers and Utilities CD are used to create  driver installation 
packages that contain custom driver se ttings. A driver installation package 
can contain a group of saved printer driv er settings and other data for things 
such as:
• Print orientation and Multiple Up (document settings) 
•Watermarks 
If you want to install the printer driv er with the same settings to multiple 
computers running on the same operating system, create a setup disk in a 
floppy disk or in a server on the network. Using the setup  disk that you have 
created will reduce the amount of work  required when installing the printer 
driver.
• Install the Dell™ 1350cnw Color Printer driver in the computer on which  the setup disk is to be created.
• The setup disk can only be used on  the operating system on which the disk 
was created or computers running the same operating system. Create a 
separate setup disk for each of the operating systems.
