The following explanation uses Windows XP as an example. Procedures under other operating systems may differ.

Screens vary according to the operating environment.

1Start Windows, and insert the provided CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

Quit all other applications currently running.

When you start Windows, the Add New Hardware Wizard may appear. If this happens, click [Cancel]. Check again that the power is off, and then proceed to step 2.

After inserting the CD-ROM, the [Printer Drivers, Manuals, Utilities] dialog box appears. If it does not, double-click the CD-ROM drive icon under [My Computer] or [Explorer], and then double-click [SETUP.EXE].

If the [Printer Drivers, Manuals, Utilities] screen does not appear even when you double-click the [SETUP.EXE] icon, or if an error occurs during installation, access the CD-ROM drive from [My Computer] or [Explorer], double-click the [RDISETUP.EXE] icon in the [DRIVERS] folder, and then install the printer driver by following the instructions that appear on the screen.

2Select a language for the interface, and then click [OK].

3Click [Printer Driver].

If your model is the GX e3350N, click [PCL/RPCS Raster Printer Drivers].

4Read the entire license agreement carefully. If you accept its terms, click [I accept the agreement.], and then click [Next >].

5Click [Connected with USB cable], and then click [Next >].

6Check again that the power of the printer is off, and then click [Next >].

Check that the dialog box below appears.

7Make sure that the computer and printer are properly connected, and then press the [Power] key.

Note

  • If the message "Digital Signature Not Found" or the [Found New Hardware Wizard] or [Hardware Installation] dialog box appears:

    • Click [Yes], [Continue Anyway] or [Install this driver software anyway] to continue the installation.

  • If the message prompting you to restart the computer appears, restart the computer.

  • Confirm the printer driver is correctly installed by checking that the [Power] key of the printer is lit and performing a test print.

  • To perform a test print, open the printer properties dialog box, click [Print Test Page] on the [General] tab.

  • To specify a USB port for sharing the printer on a server running Windows Firewall, add the port to Windows Firewall before using Status Monitor.

    1. On Windows Firewall dialog box, click the [Exception] tab, and then select the [File and Print Sharing] check box.

    2. Click [Add Port...], make sure [TCP] is selected, and then enter "55665" in [Port number].
