Installing Drivers and Utilities
Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:
• TWAIN (scanner) driver: Windows only, USB only
• Printer driver: PCL5e (all models), PCL 6 (all models), PostScript3 (MB470 MFP &
MB480 MFP only)
• Fax driver: Windows only, MB470 MFP & MB480 MFP only
The MFP is a “dual device” - Windows sees it as a scanner and a printer. Therefore,
you must install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver and the printer
driver.
The installation instructions below refer to USB connection. For network connection
details refer to the Setup/Reference Guide.
If you are running Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, you may need to follow
these steps to ensure WIA service starts when using the TWAIN driver and Actkey

1. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Double-click Services.
3. Double-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
4. From the Startup type menu, select Automatic.
5. Under Service status, click Start.
6. Click OK.

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the
