Instructions
Step 1
Printers, like many other peripheral devices, require certain drivers. These files help the operating system interpret commands into a language that the printing device understands. Before installing the drivers, connect the printer to your computer.
Step 2
Connect the equipment using the supplied cable. If you want to set up a printer that supports Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, first check that the corresponding wireless modules are working properly.
Step 3
Turn on your computer (laptop) and printing device. Wait while the operating system initializes the new hardware. If you are using a wireless printer, add the device yourself.
Step 4
Open the "Start" menu and click on the "Devices and Printers" link. At the top of the running window, find the "Add Printer" button. Click it and select the option to connect a wireless device. Select the required printer (MFP) and click the "Next" button.
Step 5
After connecting and identifying the printing device, select the software suitable for setting it up. Visit the website of the company that makes these printers. Download the recommended app. It should be noted that identical programs can be used for similar printer models.
Step 6
Install the downloaded software. Restart your computer to ensure stable operation of the program. Open the main menu of the application after turning on the printer. Configure the print settings of this machine.
Step 7
To check the operation of the printer and the selected application, open an arbitrary text document. Select any page and send it to print. Be sure to make sure you have paper and ink in the printing device beforehand.
