How to Configure Printers
- 1). Install the software that came with the printer on your computer. If you don't have the software CD, you may be able to access the printer driver on the manufacturer's support website. Search for your model and download the latest driver and software package for your operating system.
- 2). Power on your printer and connect it to your computer. The setup should complete automatically.
- 3). Access your printer configuration options via your computer's system preferences. Both Windows and Macintosh computers have "Printer" options in their system preferences applications.
- 4). Select your printer from the list in the system preferences panel (your computer might only display one printer). Set up sharing, ports, and color management using the appropriate tabs.
- 5). Set your printer's specific configuration options, such as the default type of paper, print quality, color features, and more. Click Apply to save any changes.
