1. Setting up and connecting your
printer: Windows
Network connection
A network connection is the best way to share
your printer with your team.
1. Make sure that the printer and the computer are both
connected to the network.
2. Make a note of the printer’s IP address, shown on the
front panel’s Ready page. If you don’t see the Ready
page on the front panel, press the Menu key once or
twice until you see it.
3. Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your CD drive. If the
CD does not autorun, run the Setup.exe program in the
root folder of the CD.
4. Choose the next step depending on the model of your
printer:
a) (HP Designjet Z2100) Click Install.
b) (HP Designjet Z3200/Z3200ps) Click Express
Network Install.
5. Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the
printer. The following notes will help you to understand
the screens and make appropriate choices:
• (HP Designjet Z2100 only) When asked how the
printer is connected, choose ‘Wired Networking’.’
• Wait for the installer to detect the printers
connected to the network. The following screen appears
during this process:
• Select your printer from the list. If you have more than
one HP Designjet Z2100/Z3200/Z3200ps printer con-
nected to the network, use the IP address that you noted
earlier to confirm that you have selected the correct
printer.
• Click the Next button to install the selected printer.
• (HP Designjet Z2100 only) When the network
settings of the selected printer are displayed, check that
they are correct.
USB connection
A direct USB connection may be faster than a
network connection, but the cable is limited
in length and it is more difficult to share the
printer.
1. Do not connect the computer to the printer yet.
You must first install the printer driver software on the
computer, as follows.
2. Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your CD drive. If the
CD does not autorun, run the Setup.exe program in the
root folder of the CD.
3. Choose the next step depending on the model of your
printer:
c) (HP Designjet Z2100) Click Install.
d) (HP Designjet Z3200/Z3200ps) Click Custom
Install. You may see a message warning that the
installer will have to communicate through the Win
dows Firewall to search for printers on the network.
As you intend to set up a USB connection, select
Continue installation without searching the network
and click Next.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the
printer. The following notes will help you to understand
the screens and make appropriate choices:
• When asked how the printer is connected, select:
a) (HP Designjet Z2100) ‘Connected directly to this
computer’
b) (HP Designjet Z3200/Z3200ps) ‘USB cable’.
• Connect the printer when the following screen
appears:
• Wait for the installation to finish.
