Windows 2000 - USB

Important

  • Installing a printer driver requires Administrator permission. Log on using an account that has Administrator permission.

When USB is first used, Found New Hardware Wizard starts, and USB Printing Support is installed automatically.

If the printer driver has already been installed, plug and play is enabled, and the icon of the printer connected to the “USB” port is added to the [Printers] window.

If the printer driver is not installed, follow the plug-and-play instructions of the printer to install it from the supplied CD-ROM.

1Connect the machine to the computer using the USB cable.

Connect the USB cable firmly.

2In the Found New Hardware Wizard display, click [Search for a suitable driver for my device [recommended]], and then click [Next >].

3Select the [Specify location] check box, and then click [Next >].

4Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

When Auto Run starts, click [Exit].

To disable Auto Run, press the left [Shift] key when inserting the CD-ROM into the drive and keep it pressed until the computer finishes reading from the CD-ROM.

5Specify the location where the source files of the printer driver are stored.

If the CD-ROM drive is D, the source files of the printer driver are stored in the following location:

  • RPCS

    D:\DRIVERS\RPCS\WIN2K_XP\(Language)\DISK1

  • PCL 5c (for color printing)
