Installing the Printer Driver (Standard TCP/IP Port)

Use the following procedure to install the printer driver using the TCP/IP port. (Note that this procedure is based on Windows XP. The procedure might differ slightly depending on the operating system you are using.)

Important

  1. Close all applications currently running.

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

    The installer starts.

    Auto Run may not work if certain operating system settings are configured. If this is the case, launch "Setup.exe" from the CD-ROM root directory.

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

  4. Click [M Driver].

    The Add Printer wizard starts.

  5. Click [Next>].

  6. Select [Local printer attached to this computer], and then click [Next>].

  7. Click [Create a new port:], and then select [Standard TCP/IP Port] in the [Type of port] list.

  8. Click [Next>].

    The Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port wizard starts.

  9. Click [Next>].

  10. In the [Printer Name or IP Address] box, enter the printer's name or printer's IP address. The [Port Name] text box is filled automatically.

  11. Change the port name if necessary, and then click [Next>].

    The device type selection dialog box appears.

    If the "Completing the Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard" message appears, the port must be configured after the installation is complete. Proceed to step 17 to continue with the installation. When the installation is complete, be sure to configure the port correctly. For the procedure for configuring the port, see "Configuring the Port Settings".

  12. Select [Custom] in the [Device Type] area, and then click [Settings...].

    The [Configure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor] dialog box appears.

  13. Select [LPR] in the [Protocol] area, and then enter a virtual printer name in the [Queue Name] box under [LPR Setting].

    Specify the virtual printer name that matches the page description language you require:

    • PostScript: postscript

    • PCLXL: pclxl

    • PCL5e: vp-pcl

  14. Select the [LPR Byte Counting Enabled] check box, and then clear the [SNMP Status Enabled] check box.

  15. Click [OK].

    The [Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard] dialog box reappears.

  16. Click [Next>].

  17. Click [Finish].

    The [Add Printer Wizard] dialog box reappears.

  18. Click [Have Disk...], and then click [Browse...].

  19. Select the printer setup information file for the printer driver, and then click [OK].

    If the CD-ROM drive letter is D, the printer driver's setup information file (Printer.inf) is stored in "D:\DRIVERS\Mdriver\(Language)\".

  20. Select the printer you want to add, and then click [Next>].

  21. Change the printer name if necessary.

  22. To use this printer as the default printer, select [Yes], and then click [Next>].

  23. To share the printer over a network, select [Share Name], and then specify the printer's name. If you do not want to share the printer over a network, select [Do not share this printer], and then click [Next>].

  24. If you selected [Share Name], complete the text boxes, and then click [Next>].

  25. If a message asking you whether or not you want to print a test message appears, select [No], and then click [Next>].

    You must finish the installation before printing a test page.

  26. Click [Finish].

    If the [Software Installation] dialog box appears, click [Continue Anyway].
