  • Page 8: Chapter 1 Installation

    1 Installation A printer driver is an application that manages communication between a printer and your computer. Once installed, the printer driver settings must be configured in the printer Properties and Printing Preferences. There are two methods of installation. Express Install is a quick and easy way to install a driver and certain features in package form.

  • Page 9: Express Install

    Installation lowers costs by reducing the amount of paper that must be purchased. We recommend that printing systems capable of duplex printing use duplex mode by default. This can be set in the printer driver installation process for European locations only. After you click Express mode or Custom mode in the Installer, if the operating system locale is EU and time zone is GMT 0, GMT +1 or GMT +2, a message about resource and energy conservation appears.

  • Page 10: Custom Install

    Installation Review your settings. At least one device and one product must be selected to enable the Install button. If your settings are correct, click Install.
