Using as a Windows Network Printer
This describes how to install the PCL printer driver when using the printer as a Windows network printer.
To use the print server, install the printer driver by selecting "Network printer server", and then select the
Windows 2000/XP/Vista, or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008 shared printer.
This section assumes that the client has already been configured to communicate with a Windows 2000/
XP/Vista, or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008 print server. Do not begin the following procedure
before the client is set up and configured correctly.
• Manage Printers permission is required to install the driver. Log on as an Administrators or Power
Users group member.
• If you print with a print server connected to the printer using the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port,
Recovery Printing and Parallel Printing cannot be used from the client.
• If you print under Windows XP/Vista or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008 print server,
notification functions of SmartDeviceMonitor for Client may not be used with the client.
• You can install the printer driver from the CD-ROM provided with this machine or download it from
the supplier's Website.
• If your operating system is Windows XP Professional/Vista x64, Windows Server 2003/2003
R2/2008 x64, you must download the printer driver from the manufacturer's Website. Select this
printer and the operating system you are using, and then download it.
