Installing the printer driver

3-2

General information on the printer driver

The printer driver is supplied on a CD-ROM along with the printer. If your computer has no CD-
ROM drive, you can download the printer driver from the Internet. 

You will find the latest version of the printer driver under the address http://www.qms.com.

Information on installation using Plug-and-Play

We recommend the printer driver being installed using the CD-ROM´s installer. If you install the 
printer driver using hardware wizards or device driver update wizards (plug-and play 
installation), you should note these points:

l

The “Drivers\Pp4100\Win95 

or Win311\GB\Pcl\drv“ directory on the CD-ROM must be 

specified.

l

The Status Display, Control Panel and Driver Help will not be installed.

l

The auxiliary program for deinstallation will not be installed. To use this auxiliary program, 
start the file “zuninst.exe“ on the CD that is supplied with your printer.

Information on installation using the Add Printer Wizard

Do not use the Add Printer Wizard from the Printers folder. Installation through the Add Printer 
Wizard will prevent the printer from performing properly.

We recommend the printer driver being installed using the CD-ROM´s installer.

Information on installing a network printer

.

Local printer or network printer?
The printer can be equipped with an optional network card if required. Please contact your 
hardware supplier.

You can install the printer as a local printer or as a network printer. You should make note of 
the following points when installing as a network printer:

l

If you would like to access the printer from a server using Windows 95, first install the printer 
driver from the server using the installation program. Do not use the hardware wizard for 
printer installation.

l

If your printer will not be printing any documents in a network environment, set the data 
spool format of the client to RAW.
