INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER / PC-FAX DRIVER

USING THE MACHINE AS A SHARED PRINTER

If you are going to use the machine as a shared printer on a Windows network with the printer driver or the PC-Fax driver
installed on a print server, follow the steps below to install the printer driver or the PC-Fax driver on the client computers.
• Ask your network administrator for the server name and printer name of the machine on the network.
• For the procedure for configuring settings on the print server, see the operation manual or the Help file of the operating
system. The "print server" explained here is a computer that is connected directly to the machine, and "clients" are other
computers connected to the same network as the print server.
• Install the same printer driver on client computers as the printer driver that is installed on the print server.
• If the PPD driver is installed on the print server and the client computers are running Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0, see "USING
THE STANDARD WINDOWS PS PRINTER DRIVER (Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0)" (page 21) to install the printer driver using
the Add Printer Wizard.
When the software selection screen appears in step 6 of "OPENING THE SOFTWARE SELECTION SCREEN (FOR
ALL SOFTWARE)" (page 8), perform the steps below.
