# Installing the PCL printer driver (IPP)

Quit all applications currently running.

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

The installer starts.

Select an interface language, and then click [OK].

Click [PCL Printer Drivers].

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

After reading the agreement, click [I accept the agreement.], and then click [Next >].

Select a printer driver you want to use in the [Select Program] dialog box.

You can select several printer drivers.

The PCL 6 printer driver is installed in the language specified by your operating system.

Click [Next >].

Select the machine model you want to use.

The machine name can be changed in the [Change settings for 'Printer Name'] box.

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

The details shown in [Comment], [Driver], and [Port] vary depending on the operating system, machine model, and port.

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

Click [SmartDeviceMonitor for Client 2], and then click [OK].

Click [IPP].

In the [Printer URL] box, enter "http://(machine's IP address or host name)/printer" as the machine's address.

If the server authentication is issued, to enable SSL (a protocol for encrypted communication), enter "https://(machine's IP address or host name)/printer" (Internet Explorer 5.01, or a higher version must be installed).

(example IP address: 192.168.15.16)

`http://192.168.15.16/printer`

`https://192.168.15.16/printer`

You can enter "http://(machine's IP address or host name)/ipp" as the machine's address.

If the address is "192.168.001.010", you must enter it as "192.168.1.10" to connect to the machine.

Enter a name for identifying the printer in [IPP Port Name]. Use a name different from the one of any existing ports.

If a name is not specified here, the address entered in the [Printer URL] box becomes the IPP port name.

Click [Detailed Settings] to make necessary settings, and then click [OK].

For details about the settings, see SmartDeviceMonitor for Client Help.

Click [OK].

Check that the port of the selected printer is displayed in [Port].

Set a user code, if necessary.

Up to 8 numeric characters can be entered. No alphabetic characters or symbols can be entered.

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

Click [Continue].

Installation starts.

Click [Finish].

Select one of the options to restart the computer either now or later, and then click [Finish].

Restart the computer to complete installation.

- Setting a user code allows a SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin user to display and check statistics about the number of sheets which each user prints. For details, see SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin Help.

- To stop installation of the selected driver, click [Cancel] before installation is complete.

- Auto Run may not work with certain operating system settings. In that case, launch "Setup.exe" on the CD-ROM root directory.

- A message appears if there is a newer version of the printer driver already installed. If there is, you cannot install the printer driver using Auto Run. If you still want to install the printer driver, use [Add Printer]. See "Messages Displayed When Installing the Printer Driver", Troubleshooting.
