Installing the printer
software
You can obtain the printer software
from the CD-ROM, diskettes, or
World Wide Web.
Using the CD-ROM
If your computer has a CD-ROM
drive, follow the steps in the Getting
Started booklet to install your printer
software.
If your computer does not have a
CD-ROM drive, you can create
driver diskettes using another
computer with a CD-ROM drive.
Using diskettes
If your computer does not have a
CD-ROM drive, ask our Customer
Support Center to mail you diskettes.
Refer to the printer registration card
for the number in your country.
Follow the instructions to install the
printer software from diskettes.
1
Open an OS/2 window.
2
Insert Setup Disk 1 into your
disk drive.
3
From an OS/2 prompt, type the
letter of your disk drive,
followed by setupos2 (for
example, a:\setup), and then
press Enter.
4
When prompted by the printer
software, insert the appropriate
disks into your disk drive and
press Enter.
5
When the menu screen appears,
click Install Drivers and
Documentation, then click
OK.
6
Follow the instructions on the
screen.
Using a downloaded
printer driver
If your computer does not have a
CD-ROM drive, you can download a
driver from Lexmark's World Wide
Web site at www.lexmark.com.
1
From Lexmark's web page,
select the appropriate driver for
your operating system.
2
Double-click the executable
(.exe) file to download it to a
specified location on your hard
drive.
3
Run the executable (.exe) file to
extract all of the driver files.
The driver files will be
extracted to the same location
you downloaded the executable
file.
4
Open the README.1ST file
for further instructions.
Printing from DOS
You must install the following
before you can print from DOS
applications:
• Lexmark Z51 printer software
• PCL 3 printer driver for each
DOS application
Appropriate drivers in order of
preference are:
– HP DeskJet 500C
– HP DeskJet 500
You must use the HP DeskJet 500C
for color output. If your application
does not include drivers for the HP
DeskJet 500C or the HP DeskJet
500, contact the software
manufacturer for a compatible driver
replacement.
Changing print settings
for DOS applications
If possible, use options in your DOS
application to change printer
settings. Use the following steps
only if you want to change a printer
setting that does not exist in your
DOS application. Settings in your
DOS application override settings in
the driver.
1
From Job Properties, click the
Fonts tab.
For help opening Job
Properties, see "Using the Job
Properties" on page 10.
