In order to start printing text or photographs with a printer, it is not enough just to buy and connect the printer to your computer. It is also necessary to make settings and install the printer driver and additional software, without which the printer will not function normally. Only then will the printer be recognized by the operating system and work properly.
Necessary
Windows computer, printer, printer driver disc
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on your computer. Connect the printer to the USB interface and turn on the power. Wait while Windows scans the connected device. After scanning, the system will inform you that the device is connected and ready to work. In fact, it is not yet possible to print from a computer on a printer. You need to install the driver.
Step 2
Insert the printer driver disc into the optical drive of your computer. The “Installation Wizard” for the printer software should appear on the screen. If this does not happen, start the "Installation Wizard" manually. Open "My Computer", then right-click on the drive menu (dvd / cd) and select "Open". Look for the "AutoRun.exe" file in the window that opens. Open this file. Now the "Installation Wizard" will launch for sure.
Step 3
Install the driver using the prompts. After finishing the driver installation, you can start printing. Select the object you want to print and in the "File" menu click "print a text file in whole or individual pages. Select print color and other options.
Step 4
For best print quality, you can select the type of file to be printed. For example "Color Photo" or "Text Document". If you intend to print on a size other than the standard A4 size, select the desired size from the menu. You can also select the media here (photo paper, plain paper, etc.)
Step 5
One of the options is Print Quality. You can select the standard "Draft", "High-quality image", etc. Select the mode that you need. When printing starts, the process will be displayed in the window (number of printed pages, remaining pages, etc.). If necessary, you can interrupt printing by pressing the "Cancel" command.
