CHAPTER 3 20
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This chapter outlines the basic operating information you need to start using your printer connected to
a computer. For more information to take full advantage of all the features offered, read the Online
Help.
To access the Online Help from Windows:
1 Select the Help button in the dialogue boxes.
Before you begin:
1 Make sure that your printer and personal computer are connected properly and that the software on
the “Installation“ CD-ROM was successfully installed on the computer as indicated in the Setup
Diagram provided with your printer.
2 Load the paper on which you want to print. For more information see “Loading Paper“.
3 Make sure that the out-of-black or out-of-colour indicators on the front panel are not flashing, or not
illuminated. If either one is, it is suggested that you replace the corresponding ink cartridge. For more
information see “Replacing Ink Cartridges“.
THE TOOLBOX
The Toolbox application allows you to control printing, copying, and scanning operations directly from
a single user interface on your computer monitor. You can also fax the document that you have
scanned with your all-in-one printer if a fax application is installed on your computer and your
computer is equipped with a modem.
For the Wifi model, the parameters necessary to access a Wi-Fi network can be set.
Included in the “Installation“ CD-ROM, the Toolbox is installed automatically on your computer when
you install the software contained on this CD-ROM.
note: “Guided printer installation“ uses a network protocol to send and receive information. During
this exchange of information, when a firewall has been activated, certain communications may be
blocked. Make sure that the network port used by the printer is “open“, i.e. is unaffected by this block
(the predefined setting of the printer port is UDP).
In the case of irregular or discontinuous functioning, check the PC firewall settings in the Windows
2000/XP environment. To do this, from “network resources“, select the connection concerned and
using the mouse right button access properties and then firewall settings. You should disable the UDP
port or, if in doubt, disable the protective action of the firewall.
note: “Guided installation of the printer“ in the Mac OS X environment detects only printers shared via
the “Share printer“ option when the computer uses the Mac OS X 10.2 (or higher) system.
