1.1 Overview of printer functions
The printer driver is software that specifies how to use the printing functions of this machine from other ap-
plication software. When you install the printer driver on your computer, you can use a variety of this ma-
chine’s printing functions. Furthermore, the printer driver supports a wide range of connection methods and
provides flexibility in various environments.
It also supports direct printing, a printing method that does not use the printer driver, and printing from a USB
memory device.

2 Printing in the Windows Environment
2.1 Preparation for printing (network connection)
2.1.1 Overview
Before using this machine as a printer, you need to install the printer driver on your computer.
This section describes preparatory steps for printing from this machine using the installer that are supplied
with this machine.
2.1.2 Before installing the printer driver (for administrators)
Connecting this machine to the network
Checking a LAN cable for connection
Checking the network settings
%Check that an IP address is assigned to this machine.
Configuring the network printing environment
When using the Normal Printing (at Port 9100)
%Make sure that the RAW port number has been set. (Usually, you can use the default settings.) Use
Normal Printing (Port 9100) unless otherwise specified.
When using the Internet Printing (IPP)
%Check the IPP operating environment. (Usually, you can use the default settings.)
When using the Secure Printing (IPPS)
%Set up the IPPS operating environment. Establish the communication with SSL encryption between
this machine and the computer.
Preparation finished
Checking a LAN cable for connection
Check that a LAN cable is connected to the LAN port of this machine.
For details on the cable connection port, refer to page 1-4.
Checking the network settings
Print out the Configuration Page, then check that an IP address is assigned to this machine.
To print out the Configuration Page, select [Utility] - [User Settings] - [Printer Settings] - [Print Reports] - [Con-
figuration Page].
dReference
If no IP address is displayed, you need to set up the network. For details, refer to [Quick Start Guide].

2.1 Preparation for printing (network connection) 2
[Print Functions] 2-3
Configuring the network printing environment
Set up the operating environment to suit the printing method.
If the printing method is not specified before installation, Normal Printing (Port 9100) is selected for printing.
Use Normal Printing (Port 9100) unless otherwise specified.
For details on how to configure settings, refer to Chapter 1 "Using Web Connection" in [User's Guide Applied
Functions].
Tips
-If you are using Windows Vista/7/8/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2/Server 2012, you cannot set up the
Secure Printing (IPPS) using the installer.
-If you are using Windows XP or Server 2003 in an IPv6 environment, you cannot set up the Secure Print-
ing using the installer.
-Internet Printing (IPP) is not supported in the IPv6 environment.
Allowing device information to be acquired from the printer driver
Disable the OpenAPI authentication function. (Usually, you can use the default settings.)
When you allow acquisition of device information from the printer driver, the printer driver automatically ob-
tains information such as what options are installed on this machine and whether or not authentication set-
tings have been configured.
For details on how to configure settings, refer to Chapter 1 "Using Web Connection" in [User's Guide Applied
Functions].
2.1.3 Easy installation of the printer driver
Preparing the printer driver
Preparing the printer driver CD-ROM
%For the CD-ROM, contact the administrator of this machine.
Checking the printer driver type
%Three printer drivers for different purposes are available. Select the printer driver that meets your
printing objectives.
Checking the operating systems supported by the printer driver
%Check that your computer meets the operating environment requirements of the printer driver.
Installing the printer driver to the computer
Installing the printer driver using the installer
%Insert the printer driver CD-ROM into the drive, and install the software by following the on-screen
instructions.
Performing a test print
%If necessary, make a test print, then check that it is acceptable.

fastest printing speed.
PS driver PostScript 3 Emulation This driver is effective for high-definition printing of
data created in PostScript-supporting application
software from Adobe or other vendors.
This driver is often used in graphics and light print-
ing applications where good color reproducibility is
important.
XPS driver XPS Developed after Windows Vista, this driver sup-
ports XML Paper Specification (XPS).
This driver has several advantages, including high-
quality reproduction of translucence.
