Phaser 780


The printer's networking software

The printer is shipped with a software CD-ROM, which contains software that you may need to install your printer on a network. The CD-ROM also contains on-line documentation, printer drivers, and other printer software. A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers and other software.

Obtaining networking software for Phaser 840, 740, and 780 printers

You obtain the networking software from the CD-ROM by running the installer:

  1. Insert the printer's software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
    • If the Windows autorun feature is enabled, the CD-ROM launches automatically.
    • If the Windows autorun feature is disabled, double-click My Computer, then double click the CD icon to launch the CD-ROM.
  2. View the brief introductory information, then click Install Drivers to launch the installer.
  3. When you are prompted to select Easy Install or Custom Install, select Custom Install.
  4. In the Custom Install dialog box, check the box for Network Utilities.
  5. If you are running the installer on a computer that has NetWare software installed, you can also check the boxes to install the PhaserShare Administrator software. For more information on the PhaserShare Administrator software, see PhaserShare Administrator Software for NetWare Networks.
  6. To complete the installation, follow the on-screen prompts.

Obtaining networking software for Phaser 360 printers

You obtain the networking software from the CD-ROM by running the installer:

  1. Locate and run the installer on the printer's CD-ROM. On a PC, the file is SETUP.EXE; on a Macintosh, it is Phaser 360 Installer.
  2. When you are prompted to select Easy Install or Custom Install, select Custom Install.
  3. In the Custom Install dialog box, check the box for Network Utilities.
  4. If you are running the installer on a computer that has NetWare software installed, you can also check the boxes to install the PhaserShare Administrator software. For more information on the PhaserShare Administrator software, see PhaserShare Administrator Software for NetWare Networks.
  5. To complete the installation, follow the on-screen prompts.
