Printer Driver Software Installation
The printer driver software is the program that runs the printer. It converts the data in the file you
want to print into information that the printer can understand. It also controls communication
between the printer and computer as the data is printed.
You will need the following PC hardware and software in order to use the printer driver:
Computer type IBM PC/AT or Compatible Computer
Operating system Windows 95/98
Windows NT 4.0
CPU 486DX 66 MHz or better
Connection
IEEE-1284 parallel cable To ensure reliability use the IEEE-1284 compliant parallel
cable that is supplied with the machine. Only cables
labeled “IEEE-1284” can be used with your Pro 215.
USB Cable* (not supplied) To ensure reliability use a USB compliant cable
purchased from your local vendor.
* Do not use the parallel and USB ports at the same time. The USB port is assigned the higher
priority over the parallel port when more than one device is connected to the machine. When a
system using USB is connected to the printer while no data is supplied to the 1284 port for
more than one minute, priority will be assigned to the USB port for printer services.
When the USB printing has been completed and disconnected, the 1284 port priority will
resume in 60 seconds after disconnection.
Personal Computers without CD-ROM Drives:
There are several options available to you to obtain installation diskettes for the Pro 215.
1. If you have access to an alternate computer with a CD-ROM drive and a floppy disk drive, the
WorkCentre Pro PCL Series CD-ROM has a program to create a set of installation diskettes.
Refer to the Creating Pro 215 Floppy Disk Installation Diskettes section in this User Guide
for instructions on making your own floppy diskettes.
2. Download the necessary software from the Xerox driver support Internet web site.
