1Installing Printer 
Software in Windows
This chapter includes:
• Installing Printer Software

• Removing Printer Software
Installing Printer Software
You can install the printer software for local printing or network 
printing. To install the printer software on the computer, 
perform the appropriate installation procedure depending on 
the printer in use.
A printer driver is software that lets your computer 
communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers 
may differ depending on the operating system you are using.
All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning 
installation. 
Installing Software for Local Printing
A local printer is a printer directly attached to your computer 
using the printer cable supplied with your printer, such as a USB 
or parallel cable. If your printer is attached to a network, skip 
this step and go to “Installing Software for Network Printing” on 
page 8.
You can install the printer software using the typical or custom 
method.
NOTE: If the “New Hardware Wizard” window appears during 
the installation procedure, click   in the upper right corner of 
the box to close the window, or click Cancel.
Typical Installation
This is recommended for most users. All components necessary 
for printer operations will be installed.
1Make sure that the printer is connected to your computer 
and powered on.
2Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation 
window appears.
If the installation window does not appear, click 
Start and 
then 
Run. Type X:\Setup.exe, replacing “X” with the 
letter which represents your drive and click 
OK.
3Click Next. 
• If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.
•

Guide. If your computer doesn’t have Adobe Acrobat, 
click on this option and it will automatically install Adobe 
Acrobat Reader for you.
