Software Overview After setting up your printer and connecting it to your computer, you must install the drivers and utilities from the Drivers and Utilities CD included with your printer. If you purchased a Dell™ computer and your printer at the same time, the drivers and utilities are automatically installed. You don't need to install them. The Drivers and Utilities CD contains the following: l Dell Printer Driver- allows your computer to communicate with your printer. To use your printer as a printer in Windows, you must install the printer driver. For information about installing the printer driver in Windows, see "Installing Software". l Dell Toner Management System™ - displays the status of the printer and the name of the job when you send a job to print. The Dell Toner Management System™ window also displays the level of toner remaining and allows you to order replacement toner cartridges. l User's Guide- HTML documentation provides detailed information about using your printer.
