User Setup Disk Creating Tool
The User Setup Disk Creating Tool program located in the MakeDisk folder of the Utilities folder
on the Drivers and Utilities CD and the printer drivers located on the Drivers and Utilities CD are
used to create driver installation packages that contain custom driver settings. A driver installation
package can contain a group of saved printer driver settings and other data for things such as:
• Print orientation and Multiple Up (document settings)
• Watermarks
• Font references
If you want to install the printer driver with the same settings to multiple computers running the
same operating system, create a setup disk in a floppy disk or in a server on the network. Using the
setup disk that you have created will reduce the amount of work required when installing the
printer driver.
• Install in advance the Dell Laser Printer 5100cn printer driver in the computer on which the
setup disk is to be created.
• The setup disk can only be used on the operating system on which the disk was created or
computers running the same operating system. Create a separate setup disk for different types
of operating systems.
Software Update
The firmware and/or driver updates can be downloaded from http://www.dell.com/printers/.
