Install Printer/Scanner Drivers
The supplied Printer/Scanner Drivers, Utilities and Manuals CD contains the soft-
ware that enables the printer and computer to communicate. Printer drivers, for example, are
programs that control print output on the device, so when you print a document, the driver sends
the data to the printer using the correct commands.
Important:
• If you do not have the printer’s software CD, you can download the files from Ricoh’s website
(www.ricoh-usa.com). Also see Appendix C: Printer Driver Download.
