How to set up printer printing

The design and operation of the printer are not the most complex. With the correct connection and all settings of the program, you can quickly print out any documents and files from the computer database. But for starters, it's worth connecting everything correctly.

Before you configure the program files and the system, you must correctly complete the steps for connecting the equipment to the network and to the computer processor. To do this, do the following manipulations using the instructions below:

  1. Open the kit of purchased equipment, check the availability of everything you need: the main device, wires for the connection, the installation disk.
  2. Remove the wires to connect to the power source and computer.
  3. After that, insert the cord into the appropriate slots on the printer and on the back of the central processor. Carefully inspect the case so as not to confuse various similar connectors with each other.
  4. Turn on the power from the network and press the start button of the equipment. Turn on the computer and go to the desktop.
  5. After that, a dialog box with the inscription about the new connected equipment should light up. Now you can proceed to the next step: setting up the hardware.

Some manufacturers have their own connection features. If there is no cord in the kit, or it does not fit under the connector, purchase all the necessary accessories and adapters.

IMPORTANT! Turn on and test the printer by trying to print several pages. If you have problems, try to fix them by doing everything anew in order.

After completing all the steps described above and successfully connecting the equipment, the computer should recognize the equipment. If everything is done correctly, you should start installing the software and drivers to start the system. Use the following scheme:

  1. Run the special installation disk that comes with the printer through the drive in the PC.
  2. When a dialog box appears with the installation wizard, follow the prompts that appear on the screen.
  3. Click on the "Next" button and agree to the rules of the license agreement.
  4. Wait until the download is complete and save the new equipment in the system.
  5. Restart your computer and try to get started on the printer. After completing all the manipulations according to the instructions, you can print any documents and images.

If there is no result, try installing the driver again or updating the PC software. If this does not help, see the list of possible problems during installation and configuration.

Sometimes, even with the correct execution of all the steps, connection and configuration can cause problems. Here is a list of the most common causes of lack of connectivity and their solution:

  1. If there was no installation disk available, you can download the necessary program for a certain type of device via the Internet.
  2. If the computer is infected with a virus or malware, clean and download the antivirus.
  3. It is possible to request a password for activation. It can be found on the printer housing or in the documentation.
  4. Failure in print settings. Check the basic parameters of the displayed image and calibrate the color gamut to improve the quality of the picture and printed text.
