Installing RPCS Printer Driver

This section gives basic instructions for installing the RPCS printer driver without using Quick Install. Follow the procedures below, as appropriate.

Important

If you want to share the printer, use the [Sharing] tab in the printer properties dialog box to specify the additional driver (alternate driver). For details, see the operating instructions that come with Windows.

When prompted for the additional driver (alternate driver) location, select the following folders on the CD-ROM:

RPCS: \DRIVERS\RPCS\XP_VISTA\(Language)\DISK1\

  1. Quit all applications running.

  2. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

    Auto Run will start the installer.

  3. Select a language for the interface, and then click [OK].

    The default interface language is English.

  4. Click [RPCS Printer Driver].

    The software license agreement appears in the [License Agreement] dialog box.

  5. After reading through the agreement, click [I accept the agreement] to agree, and then click [Next].

  6. Select the model of the printer you are using.

    To change the printer name, change it in the [Change settings for 'Printer Name'] box.

  7. Double-click the printer name to display the printer settings.

  8. Click [Port:], and then click [Add].

  9. Click [SmartDeviceMonitor], and then click [OK].

    This will be followed by selection of the printer to be used. The following is the procedure for selecting the printer using TCP/IP.

  10. Click [TCP/IP], and then click [Search].

    Available machines will be listed.

  11. Select the printer you want to use, and then click [OK].

    Machines that respond to an IP broadcast from the computer will be displayed. To print to a printer not listed here, click [Specify Address], and then enter the IP address or host name.

  12. Make sure the location for the selected printer appears after [Port:].

  13. Configure the user code and default printer as necessary.

    User codes are eight digit codes that allow you to keep track of printing done under each code. To use this feature, the network administrator should assign user codes and inform users of them before they install the printer driver.

    Take the following procedures to enter a user code for registration:

    • For the RPCS printer driver, click the [Printer Configuration...] button on the [Print Settings] tab in the printer properties dialog box. Click the [User Code...] button. A dialog box appears. Enter the user code in the dialog box.

    For more information about user codes, see Operating Instructions.

    Select the [Default Printer] check box to set the printer as the default printer.

  14. Click [Continue] to start printer driver installation.

  15. Follow the instructions on the screen.
