Installing the Client
This section describes the procedure for installing the printer driver on the client
computers.
There are two ways to install the printer driver: local installation and download
installation.
■ Local Installation (See p. 3-62)
Installing the printer driver using the supplied CD-ROM.
■ Download and Install
This installs the printer driver by downloading it from the print server, without needing to
use the supplied CD-ROM. There are two ways to download and install the driver:
• Installing from the [Printers and Faxes] Folder or the [Printers] Folder (See p. 3-69)
• Installing using [Windows Explorer] (See p. 3-73)
