INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE (THAT
ACCOMPANIES THE MACHINE)
BEFORE INSTALLATION
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Before installing the software, see "HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS" on page 43 to make sure
your computer meets the hardware and software requirements.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT AND USEABLE SOFTWARE
The software that can be installed varies depending on your operating system version and type of connection to the machine.
*1 Windows 98/Me does not support USB 2.0. A USB 2.0 connection can be used in Windows 98/Me, however, the performance
will be the same as USB 1.1. The print speed based on USB 2.0 specifications can only be attained if your computer is
running Windows 2000/XP, you are using a cable that supports USB 2.0, and the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port on
your computer. If the connection is made through a hub, the hub must support USB 2.0.
USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) can be used when the dual function board is installed.

When the machine is connected using a parallel cable, the Print Status Window can only be used when the parallel port is set to ECP mode.
*3 The printer driver that is installed varies depending on the type of connection between the machine and your computer.
*4 Sharpdesk can be installed when using a parallel cable, however, the machine's scanner function cannot be used. Windows
95 and Windows NT 4.0 are not supported.

• The scanner feature only works when using a USB cable.
•
If an error message appears, follow the instructions on the screen to solve the problem. After the problem is solved,
continue the installation procedure. Depending on the problem, you may have to exit the installer. In this case, click
the [Cancel] button to quit the installer and then reinstall the software from the beginning after solving the problem.
• When installing Sharpdesk, if Internet Explorer 5.5 or later is not installed on your computer, see the Internet
Explorer installation procedure in the Readme file (Readme.txt) in the root folder of the "Software CD-ROM (2)".
If you are only going to install Sharpdesk after installing Internet Explorer (for example, when the other
components have already been installed), perform a custom installation (follow steps 2 through 7 in
"INSTALLATION METHOD 2" and then install only Sharpdesk in steps 11 and 12).
