This chapter explains how to install and configure the software that is required for the 
printer and scanner functions of the machine. The procedure for viewing the Online 
Manual is also explained.

The CD-ROM that accompanies the machine contains the following software:

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.
The printer driver includes the Print Status Window*. This is a utility that monitors 
the machine and informs you of the printing status, the name of the document 
currently being printed, and error messages.

* When the machine is connected through the parallel port, the Print Status Window 

can only be used when the parallel port is set to ECP mode. To set the parallel port 
mode, refer to your computer manual or ask the manufacturer of your computer.

The scanner driver allows you to use the scanning function of the machine with 
TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant applications.

Sharpdesk is an integrated software environment that makes it easy to manage 
documents and image files, and launch applications.

Button Manager allows you to use the scanner menus on the machine to scan a document.

• The screen images in this manual are mainly for Windows XP. With 

other versions of Windows, some screen images may be different 
from those in this manual.

• This manual refers to the CD-ROM that accompanied the machine 

simply as "CD-ROM".

The scanning feature can only be used with computers that are running 
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and are connected to the machine by a USB 
cable. If you are running Windows 95/NT 4.0 or are connected to the 
machine by a parallel connection, only the printer function can be used.

Check the following hardware and software requirements in order to install the 
software.

The machine's USB connector will transfer data at the speed specified by the USB 2.0 
(Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is preinstalled in the computer, or if the 
USB 2.0 driver for Windows 2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its 
"Windows Update" is installed.

Administrator's rights are required to install the software using the installer.

The following table shows the drivers and software that can be installed for each 
version of Windows and interface connection method.

*

1

Windows 98/Me does not support USB 2.0. A USB 2.0 connection can be used in 
Windows 98/Me, however, the performance will be the same as USB 1.1. The print 
speed based on USB 2.0 specifications can only be attained if your computer is running 
Windows 2000/XP, you are using a cable that supports USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 
certified), and the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If the 
connection is made through a hub, the hub must support USB 2.0.

*

The printer driver that is installed will vary depending on the type of connection 
between the machine and your computer.

Although it is possible to install Button Manager and Sharpdesk on Windows 
98/Me/2000/XP, neither Button Manager nor the scanner function of Sharpdesk can 
actually be used.

The procedure for a standard installation of the software is explained below. If the 
machine is connected by a USB cable, it is recommended that you use the standard 
installation.

If the cable is connected, a Plug and Play window will appear. If this 
happens, click the "Cancel" button to close the window and disconnect the 
cable.

In Windows 98/Me/2000, double-click "My Computer", and then double-click 
the CD-ROM icon.

• If you need to use a different connection method after installing the 

software based on a USB or parallel connection, you must first 
uninstall the software (p.78) and then install it using the new 
connection method.

• In the following explanations it is assumed that the mouse is 

configured for right hand operation.

• The scanner feature only works when using a USB cable.
• If an error message appears, follow the instructions on the screen to 

solve the problem. After the problem is solved, the installation 
procedure will continue. Depending on the problem, you may have to 
click the "Cancel" button to exit the installer. In this case, reinstall the 
software from the beginning after solving the problem.

The standard installation can only be used when the machine is 
connected by a USB cable. If the machine is connected by a parallel 
cable, use the custom installation procedure (p.40).

The cable will be connected in step 9.

If the language selection screen appears after you double click the 
"setup" icon, select the language that you wish to use and click the 
"Next" button. (Normally the correct language is selected 
automatically.)
