wizard appears on the computer screen and the printer icon is
created in the Printers folder.
If you did not share the printer using the setup program but would like to do so later, see
“Sharing the printer on a locally shared network (Windows)”
.
If the installation program detects that the printer is already connected to the computer using a
parallel cable (before running the program), it will provide you with the option to install the
printer using the same port. In addition, if you select the express install check box, the
installation program uses the default settings.
It is recommended to install the Toolbox, which is installed by selecting
Typical Installation
(Recommended)
. If you select
Custom Installation
, you can still choose to install the
Toolbox from the list of options to install. The Toolbox provides status and maintenance
information about your printer. It also provides access to documentation and online help tools
for solving printer problems. If you do not install the Toolbox you will not see printer error
messages on your computer screen and will not have access to the myPrintMileage website.
See
“Using the Toolbox”
for more information.
