Printer Driver Installation FeaturesSystem Administrator Guide2-4Installation from the Printer’s Hard DriveIf the printer has an internal hard drive, you can install the printer driver from the 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 thisprocedure 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 (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).3. Click Support.4. Select Software Installation on the left sidebar.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, andthen click the Install button to install the printer.■ If you are a Macintosh user, click Macintosh Driver Installer to download the driver.Auto-Configuring DriverFor a printer connected to a network, the bi-directional communication between the driver andthe printer during installation automatically tells the installer the printer’s configuration (N,DN, DX, etc.) and, therefore, whether the printer has certain features, such as duplexingcapability, additional trays, or a hard drive. As a result, the controls for settings, such as2-sided printing, tray selection, and secure printing are displayed or hidden/grayed out, and themimic shows the correct printer configuration. This driver feature prevents users from makingincorrect selections during installation, eliminating many of the help calls requesting printersupport.
