SP Series Info Central
– If you installed the driver from CD-ROM and SP Series Info Central was previously installed, the files
are updated.
– If you installed the driver from downloaded files, a message appears to inform you that that the SP
Series Info Central (or e-Guide) is not available.
6 You must restart the PC before the driver can work with the printer. Click Finish to close the installation
and restart the PC.
7 Follow instructions to update the printer firmware if prompted. Make sure the printer is connected to
the PC and powered on before running the Firmware update utility.
If you downloaded the driver from the Internet, you can delete the SmartDriver folder from your hard
drive after installing the printer driver. You can also delete the downloaded SD_xxx.exe file (where xxx
represents an abbreviation for the operating system and the release).
Upgrading the printer driver for Windows Me and 98 SE
To upgrade the printer driver for Windows Me or 98 SE, first remove the existing driver. Then, install the
printer, as described in Install the printer driver to a USB port on Windows Me or 98. If you are
upgrading the driver on a client PC that shares a printer, see Installing the printer driver on the client
PC.
Tips for success
• Make sure all jobs have been printed or deleted from the Print Manager before removing the existing
printer driver. See Windows help to use the Print Manager.
• The printer name and printer settings are deleted when you delete the printer driver. If needed for an
application or printer sharing, you can record the printer name and settings you use before you delete
the driver.
• If you have more than one printer driver on the PC, first delete the printer driver installed most recently,
if known.
1 If the printer is connected to the PC using a USB cable, unplug the cable from the printer before
deleting the printer driver. If you do not, the operating system might install the printer again.
2 Close all applications. Do not close Windows.
3 Select Settings and then Printers from the Windows Start menu.
4 In the Printers window, click once on the SmartDriver icon to select it. Press the Delete key.
5 When the confirmation prompt appears, select Yes or OK to delete the printer driver. Follow any
prompts that appear.
6 Close the Printers window and close all applications.
7 When the prompt to restart Windows appears, select Finish, Yes, or OK.
8 Restart Windows. For Windows 2000 or XP, make sure you have permission to restart Windows and
then log in as the Administrator.
