Before Using the Printer Setting Tool:

  • Make sure a fully-charged battery is installed.
  • Make sure the printer driver has been installed correctly and you can print.
  • Connect this printer to a computer with a USB cable. Settings cannot be specified over Wi-Fi® when using this tool.

 

  1. Connect the printer you want to configure to the computer.

  2. Start the Printer Setting Tool.
