Using the installer

    • 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. During custom installation, a dialog box is displayed enabling you to install PhaserPort. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. For details, see, Create your first port and install the driver.

  2. When you are prompted to select Easy Install or Custom Install, select Custom Install.

Create your first port and install the printer

  1. After the port monitor is installed, the Add PhaserPort dialog box is displayed. Create your first port:
    1. In the Description field, enter a name for the port (this can be the printer name/model, location, or any other descriptive name of your choice), such as Phaser 740.
    2. In the Name/Address field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the printer (for example, 192.1.1.2), and click OK.
    3. If you don't know the printer's IP address or DNS name, click Browse to display a list of printers on the network. Double-click the printer you want; PhaserPort automatically enters the information into the Add PhaserPort dialog. To search the network again, click Refresh; to narrow down the search by using subnets, click Advanced.

    4. Click OK.
  2. You are asked if you want to install the PhaserShare Administrator software. Install the PhaserShare Administrator software if you also want to print using NetWare.
  3. If you chose to install drivers and PPD files earlier in the installation, the installer launches the Xerox Add Printer Wizard.
    If you did not choose to install drivers and PPD files earlier in the installation, go to Step 5.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions for the Xerox Add Printer Wizard. When you are prompted to choose Network Printer or Local Printer, choose Local printer. When you are prompted to choose a port, choose the port you created in Step 1a.
  5. When prompted, finish the setup by registering your printer and restarting your computer.
