The Administrator Installation Program executes a
wizard-driven procedure that performs the following
tasks:
• Installs all necessary utilities and drivers in the
administrator’s PC (including the client utilities).
• Prompts you to set up the print server (including
the print server name and network protocols).
• Adds the print server’s network port to the
administrator’s PC.
After the installation, perform the standard Add Printer

Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP or Windows NT with the
same user interface. Before the installation, verify that
your network protocol is installed on your PC (TCP/IP,
IPX, and/or NetBEUI).
