Connection Options:

  • USB - best option for stability and the SHARE for other users

  • Network - if USB is available connect temp to setup wired or wifi

  • Wired Network - preferred over WIFI for stability issues

  • WIFI - most prone to changes try to setup STATIC IP


Setup Printer:

  • Setup printer by removing all plastic protective strips and foam
  • Setup printer in designated area and plugin JUST the power cord
  • Turn on Power and follow the steps to set up the printer including ink/toner and paper but stop when it asks to connect it to the computer


If the printer is multi-function, BEFORE connecting printer to computer: 

  • Run the printer CD

    • A prompt should come up on the screen - click OK and the installation should start

    •  If the install does not auto-start, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the CD and run the SETUP.EXE.

  • If there is no CD, go to the manufacturer's website and download the appropriate full driver package (not the basic driver)


If printer is a single-function printer - plug it in and see if Windows already has the drivers.

  • If Windows does not automatically install the drivers, run the printer CD as outlined above
