BEFORE INSTALLATION
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Check the following hardware and software requirements before installing the software.
*1 The machine's USB 2.0 port will transfer data at the speed specified by the USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0
driver is preinstalled in the computer, or if the USB 2.0 driver for Windows 2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides
through its "Windows Update" is installed.

Edition preinstalled models equipped with a USB interface as standard.
*3 Printing is not available in MS-DOS mode.
*4 Administrator’s rights are required to install the software using the installer.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT AND USEABLE
SOFTWARE
The software that can be installed varies depending on the operating system and type of connection to the machine.
*1 A USB 2.0 connection can only be used when the dual function board is installed.
*2 Windows 98/Me does not support USB 2.0. A USB 2.0 connection can be used in Windows 98/Me, however, the performance
will be the same as USB 1.1. The print speed based on USB 2.0 specifications can only be attained if your computer is
running Windows 2000/XP, and you are using a cable that supports USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 certified), and the cable is
connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If the connection is made through a hub, the hub must support USB 2.0.
*3 When the machine is connected using a parallel cable, the Print Status Window can only be used when the parallel port is set
to ECP mode. To set the parallel port mode, refer to your computer manual or ask the manufacturer of your computer.
*4 The printer driver that is installed will vary depending on the type of connection between the machine and your computer.
*5 Sharpdesk can be installed when using a parallel cable, however, the machine's scanner function cannot be used.
