112 Printer Driver
Printer Driver Software Installation
The printer driver software is the program that runs the printer. It converts the data in the file you
want to print into information that the printer can understand. It also controls communication
between the printer and PC as the data is printed.
You will need the following PC hardware and software in order to use the printer driver:
WorkCentre Pro 16fx
Computer type IBM PC/AT or Compatible Computer
Operating system Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0
CPU 486DX 66 MHz or better
RAM 8 MB or more
Connection
IEEE-1284 parallel cable
(supplied)
To ensure reliability, use the IEEE-1284 compliant parallel
cable supplied with the machine. Use only cables labeled
“IEEE-1284” with your Pro 16fx.
USB Cable ** (not supplied)
(Windows 98 only)
To ensure reliability, use a USB compliant cable purchased
from your local vendor.
** Do not use the parallel and USB ports at the same time. The USB port is assigned a
higher priority. Once the USB cable is disconnected, parallel port priority will resume.
Note: If you are using some of the computer’s memory as a RAM drive, the printer driver may
not be able to allocate the correct amount of memory. In such a case, reduce the size of the
RAM disk, or do not use a RAM disk.
If your PC does not have a CD-ROM Drive:
There are several options available to you to obtain a set of Pro 16fx installation diskettes.
1. If you have access to an alternate PC with a CD-ROM drive and a diskette drive, the
WorkCentre Pro Series CD-ROM has a program to create a set of installation diskettes. Refer
to
Creating Pro 16fx Floppy Disk Installation Diskettes section in this User Guide for
instructions on making your own floppy diskettes.
2. Refer to the order sheet that is packaged with the Pro 16fx. This sheet explains how you can:
•
order floppy diskettes from Xerox.
•
download the necessary software from the Xerox driver support internet website.
Installation Notes:
The Printer Driver Installation software cannot be installed using the Control Panel/Printers for
Win 3.1x or the Add Printer Wizard for Win 95/98/NT4.0. Please use one of the following
methods depending on your operating system.
