Reference Guide

To use the printer-driver only software solution with a direct USB connection, a USB Print port must have
already been created by a previous installation of the printing-system software. There are several direct
USB printing-system software installation options that establish a USB Print port:
●
Complete an installation using the in-box printing-system software CD.
●
Download the "Recommended Solution", which provides installation options identical to the
printing-system software CD.
Once a USB Print port is created by a previous direct USB installation, the printer-driver installation can
be completed using that USB Print port.
Use the following instructions to install the printer driver only:
1. Click Start, and then do one of the following:
-or-
For Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional: Select Settings, and then click
Printers and Faxes.

4. On the Select a Printer Port screen, select the USB Print port that was created by a previous
USB installation, and then click Next.
5. On the Install Printer Software screen, click Have Disk.... The Install from Disk dialog
box appears.
