Installing Dell Software for Local Printing
A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB cable. If your printer is 
attached to a network instead of your computer, skip this step and go on to Installing Dell 
Software for Network Printing.
A printer driver is a software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. The 
procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system you are using.
 NOTE: If you attach a USB printer cable while your printer and computer are powered on, the 
Found New Hardware Wizard launches immediately. Cancel the screen and use the Installing 
Software in Microsoft® Windows® Operating System CD to install the Dell software.
1
Ensure that the printer is connected to your computer and powered on. All applications 
should be closed on your computer before beginning installation.
 NOTE: If the printer is not connected to your computer when you install the Installing 
Software in Microsoft® Windows® Operating System CD, the No Printer Found screen 
appears. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the software.
2
Insert the Installing Software in Microsoft® Windows® Operating System CD.

the installation and close the wizard. You are now ready to print.
Network Installation
Assigning an IP Address
Before using the printer on the network, you must set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway 
for the printer. If you want DHCP or BOOTP to automatically set the IP address, a DHCP or 
BOOTP server must exist on the network.
If the network is using DHCP/BOOTP, an IP address is automatically assigned after 
connecting the network cable to the printer. In case no DHCP or BOOTP the printer will 
automatically assign a legacy IP address 192.0.0192 or local link address 169.254.xxx.xxx.
To configure the IP address manually, you can use the supplied Installing Software in 
Microsoft® Windows® Operating System CD. Print the Configuration page of the printer to 
see the current network configuration and MAC address. You will need this information to 
configure the printer for the network.
1Ensure that the printer is connected to your network and powered on. Close all programs.
2Insert the Installing Software in Microsoft® Windows® Operating System CD. 
 NOTE: For Windows Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 R2, click Continue when the User Account 
Control screen appears.
 
NOTE: If user has disabled auto continue, then please open setup.exe from CD root folder.
