Using the Driver Deployment Wizard software

When you run the Wizard for the first time you will see a welcome screen. Click Next.

Choose Printer, and then click Next.

Choose your connection type to the printer that you want to print to.

Choose the option you require, and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you choose Brother Peer-to-Peer Network Printer, the following screen is displayed.

•

Setting the IP Address

If the printer does not have an IP address, the Wizard will allow you to change the IP address by selecting the printer from the list and by selecting the Configure IP option. A dialogue box then appears which allows you to specify information such as the IP address, subnet mask and also the gateway address.

Choose the printer driver if you wish to install.

•	If the printer driver you wish to use is installed on your computer: Check the box of Currently installed drivers and choose the printer you wish to install, and then click Next.
•	If the driver you wish to use is not installed on your computer: Click Have Disk and then specify the path of the printer driver.

Click Next after you choose the correct driver.

Check Yes if you want to install the Interactive Help feature and then click Next.

A summary screen will appear. Confirm the settings of the driver.

•

Creating an executable file

The Driver Deployment Wizard software can also be used to create self running .EXE files. These self-running .EXE files can be saved to the network, copied to a CD-ROM, USB memory or even E-mailed to another user. Once run, the driver and its settings are automatically installed without any user intervention.

•	Copy the Driver files to this PC and create an installation program for other users. Select this option if you wish to install the driver onto your computer and also create a self-running executable file for use with another computer using the same operating system as your own.
•	Only Create an Installation Program for other users. Select this option if the driver is already installed on your computer and you wish to create a self-running executable file without again installing the driver on your own computer.

Note

•	If you work in a "queue" based network and you create an executable file for another user who does not have access to the same printer queue that you define into the executable file, the driver when installed on the remote computer will default to LPT1 printing.
•	If you check the box of Currently installed drivers in 5, you can change the default settings of the printer driver, such as paper size by clicking Custom....

Click Finish. The driver is automatically installed to your computer.
