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/.
