CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

• PC-Fax driver

This enables you to send a file from your computer as a fax using the same procedure as when printing the file. 
(When the fax option is installed.)
Even if the fax function is not installed, the PC-Fax driver can be updated using the CD-ROM in the Internet fax 
expansion kit to enable you to send a file from your computer as an Internet fax in the same way as you print a file.

☞

• Scanner driver (TWAIN driver)

This allows you to use the scanner function of the machine from a TWAIN-compliant software application.

☞

X "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the PS3 expansion kit 

This contains the display fonts that are used with the PS printer driver.
(Install the PS printer driver and Macintosh PPD file from the "Software CD-ROM".)

☞

X "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the Internet fax 

This CD-ROM is used to update the PC-Fax driver on the "Software CD-ROM" so that it can be used to send 
Internet faxes (PC-I-Fax function).
If you wish to use the PC-I-Fax function, first install the PC-Fax driver from the "Software CD-ROM" and then run the 
installer on this CD-ROM. If the PC-Fax driver is already installed, run only the installer. (There is no need to reinstall 
the PC-Fax driver.)

☞

X "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM (for Windows)

This contains software that helps you get the most out of the images that you scan on the machine. The software 
includes "Sharpdesk", a desktop document management application that enables integrated management of 
scanned images and files created using a variety of applications. To use the "Scan to Desktop" scanner function, the 
"Network Scanner Tool" must be installed from the CD-ROM.
For the system requirements of the software, see the manual (PDF format) in the "Manual" folder or the Readme file 
on the CD-ROM. For the procedures for installing the software, see the "Information Guide".

• The PS3 expansion kit is required to use the machine as a printer in a Macintosh environment. In addition, 

the machine must be connected to a network. A USB connection cannot be used.

• The scanner driver and PC-Fax driver cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.

*2 The machine's USB 2.0 port will transfer data at the speed specified by the USB2.0 (Hi-Speed) standard 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/Vista/7 that Microsoft provides through "Windows Update" is installed.

*3 Compatible with models preinstalled with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, 

Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7, and which are equipped standard with a USB interface.

To perform the procedures described in this manual such as installing the software and configuring settings after 
installation, administrator authority is required.

VERIFYING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The following requirements must be met to use the software described in this manual.

*1 For the types of computers and operating systems that can run the software, see "SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS" (page 4).
*2 When the Internet fax expansion kit is installed, the PC-Fax driver can be updated using the "PRINTER UTILITIES" 

CD-ROM to enable the driver to be used as a PC-I-Fax driver. In this case, the driver can be used without the 
facsimile expansion kit.

*3 The scanner driver and Printer Status Monitor cannot be used when the network is only IPv6.

To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN 
cable.

After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before 
installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the 
machine is used in a DHCP environment.)
Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine. 

X Checking the IP address of the machine

You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "All Custom Setting List" in the system settings. Press 
the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key, touch the [List Print (User)] key, select "All Custom Setting List" and then touch the 
[Print] key.

The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB 
interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.)
The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected 
before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a 
USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 17).

• If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not 

be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.

• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network 

environment.

• When using this machine on an IPv6 network, enable IPv6 setting in the "Network Settings" in the system settings 

(administrator).
