Express Installation Express Mode applies to driver installation for a USB or network connection only.

Installing in Express Mode This section describes the express installation procedure of the driver software in Windows operating systems. 1 Ensure that your printer and computer are turned on and connected by USB or network cable. Note: In Windows 7 and Windows Vista with a USB connection, a driver installation will be made from the Microsoft Windows Update site if a certified driver is available and the system is connected to the web. We recommend you continue with the steps to install the KX Driver for an expanded feature set. In Windows, if the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box appears during the installation process, click Cancel. If the Hardware Installation warning dialog box appears, click Continue Anyway. 1-2 User Guide
