Installation from the Printer’s Hard Drive or the Web
You can install the printer driver from the printer’s hard drive. This is especially useful if you
do not have the Software and Documentation CD-ROM.
Note: If the printer doesn’t have a hard drive but is connected to the internet, you can use this
procedure to automatically connect to the web to install the driver.
To install the printer driver either from the hard drive or the web:
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3. Click Support.
4. Select Software Installation on the left navigation panel.
5. Select the Printer Drivers link.
6. Do one of the following:
If you are a Windows user, click Windows Driver Installer to install the driver, and
then click the Install button to install the printer.
If you are a Macintosh user, click Macintosh Driver Installer to download the driver.
Auto-Configuring Driver
During installation, the bi-directional communication between the driver and a printer
connected to a network identifies the printer’s configuration (N, DN, DX, etc.) and the features
available with the configuration such as, duplexing capability, additional trays, or a hard drive.
The controls for settings, such as 2-sided printing, tray selection, and secure printing are
displayed or hidden/grayed out, and the mimic displays the correct printer configuration. This
driver feature prevents users from making incorrect selections during installation.
