SP Series Info Central
Learn how to use this online information
The following descriptions can help you use the HTML Help Viewer window to find and read the information you
want.
About Info Central
SP Series Info Central is a library on the PC that provides access to all user information for SP Series printers. Info
Central is made up of several compiled Microsoft HTML Help files which are linked together. It includes:
• Toolbox and Message Help for the SP Series Printer is one of the files linked to Info Central.
• Help for Properties or Printing Preferences, a traditional help file, can be opened from Info Central.
• The e-Guide for SP Series Printers is linked to Info Central and provides detailed information about using the
printer and driver.
• The Printer Guides, provided in printed form with the printer, are also available online through Info Central and
through links.
SP Series printers are designed to be simple and easy to use. However, they are also flexible printers. For that
reason, there is information that a few users need but that does not apply to others. Info Central provides all of this
information--not all of it will apply to you.
Info Central uses the Microsoft HTML Help Viewer, which is part of the operating system for Windows XP,
Windows Me, Windows 98 Second Edition (and Windows 98), Windows 2000. On Windows NT, the printer driver
installs the files you need for the Microsoft HTML Help Viewer. The HTML Help Viewer uses Microsoft Internet
Explorer. The printer driver checks for Internet Explorer when it installs and warns the installer if it is not present.
The printer driver also makes sure that special files to enable HTML Help are present.
Why do the illustrations look different from my printer?
SP Series Info Central provides information about all SP Series printers, including the SP35, SP55 and SP75
printers. In most cases, information applies to all printers, and the illustrations will show one of the supported
printers. Occasionally, there is information that applies to some but not all printers, or is different for different for
some types of printers. In that case, text and illustrations include information for specific printer types.
This information also applies to the SP60 printer. If you have an SP60 printer, follow instructions for the SP55
printer.
