DO-IT-YOURSELF PRINTER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS (WITH DISK):

• Before powering up your computer ensure that your printer is NOT plugged into your computer. The simplest way to do this is to follow the USB cord from the back of your printer, and make sure that it is not plugged into to your computer. Do not, under any circumstances plug your printer into your computer until the printer software setup tells you to. There will be an obvious message telling you it’s time to plug the printer in. If you plug it in before the software tells you to this will break the installation process and require you to pay us to fix it.

• Locate the installation software disk that came with your printer. Look at the label on the disk and be sure it lists what version of Windows is on your computer (for example – Windows 7). If you are unsure of what version of Windows is on your computer look at the receipt you received from us when you got your computer serviced – it will tell you.

• Power up your computer. Once it finishes loading into Windows, insert your printer disk. NOTE: because of recent changes to Windows by Microsoft – the disk will not auto-play or pop up on its own. This is normal. Find the icon on your desktop called ‘Computer and double-click on it. Now find the icon for your  CD/DVD drive and double-click on it. This will usually be drive letter ‘D’ and have an icon of a disk on it. You will now see a list of files on the printer install CD. Look for an application called “Setup” or “Install” and double click on it. This will start the printer installation process. From here simply follow the instructions on the screen. Once the software asks you to plug in the printer, ensure the printer is powered on and pick any empty USB port on your computer and plug it in.
