INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER AND UTILITIES (SOFTWARE INSTALLATION)
I Set the IP address of the machine
Before installing the printer driver, set the IP address of the machine using the appropriate key operator
program. For this procedure, see Key Operator Programs (page 5-7) in the "Operation manual (for printer)" (in
PDF format) in the "SOFTWARE CD-ROM (1)". The factory default setting for the IP address is "DHCP", which
means that the IP address is set automatically.
If you are not using the machine in a DHCP environment, ask your network administrator for the IP address,
Subnet mask, and Default gateway to be used for the machine, and then program this information.
NOTE
If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may be changed automatically on occasion. If this
happens, printing will not be possible.
To use DHCP on this machine, please configure a DHCP reservation. Or, if you make fixed IP address setting, the
problem will be resolved.
I Installing the printer driver (standard installation)
The procedure for a standard installation of the printer driver is explained below. This procedure is normally
used when the printer driver will be used with a network connection.
To use the machine as a network printer in Windows NT 4.0, "TCP/IP Protocol" and "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing"
must be installed on your computer. Make sure these are installed. If either is not installed, install as explained
in Windows NT 4.0 Help.
NOTE
When installing the printer driver, if you wish to install a display font or specify the IP address of the machine by
direct entry, select [Custom installation]. (page 7)
Insert the "SOFTWARE CD-ROM (1)" that
accompanied the machine into your CD-
ROM drive.

I Installing PCL Display Fonts
The PCL display fonts are fonts displayed on your computer screen. The "SOFTWARE CD-ROM (1)" contains
the PCL display fonts that correspond to the resident fonts in the machine. These display fonts can be installed
to your computer (Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003) from the installer. When installing the PCL
display fonts using the Windows installation procedure instead of the installer ([Start] - [Settings] - [Control
Panel] - [Fonts] - [Install] - [New Font]), specify the following path.
R:\Drivers\Printer\Font\PCLFont (Where "R" represents the letter of your CD-ROM driver.)
