Note:
❏ Instructions in this section that are common to all operating systems are for Mac OS X 10.3 as
an example. They may slightly differ from what actually appears on your screen depending on
your operating system; however, the functions are the same.
❏ You have to re-install the printer driver after major operating system updates such as OSX 10.3
to 10.4, but you do not have to re-install it for minor updates such as 10.3.1 to 10.3.2.
