Install Printer Driver & Utility
The supplied
Printer Drivers, Utilities and Manuals
CD contains the software that
enables the printer and computer to communicate. Printer drivers are programs that control print
output on the device, so when you print a document, the driver sends the data to the printer using
the correct commands. Also on the CD is the Smart Organizing Monitor software utility that allows
you to modify the printer’s settings or view the machine’s status from your computer.
