For details on the printer drivers and the installation of the software, see the PCL Driver
Guide.

For Windows

To print from a Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP or Windows NT computer, install the
printer driver and utility software from the supplied CD-ROM.
The following software is included on the supplied CD-ROM.

This printer utility software enables you to display the status of a printer that is connected
to a computer or network on your computer screen. If you set up the printer and network
board, you can operate the printer from the connected computer in the same way as you
would operate the printer from the operation panel. Install this software if necessary.
