Using the Driver Deployment Wizard software

When you run the Wizard for the first time you will see a welcome screen. Click Next.

Choose MFC, and then click Next.

Choose your connection type to the machine that you want to print to.

Choose the option you require, and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you choose Brother Peer-to-Peer Network Printer, the following screen is displayed.

•

Setting the IP Address

If the machine does not have an IP address, the Wizard will allow you to change the IP address by choosing the machine from the list and by choosing the Configure IP option. A dialog box then appears which allows you to specify information such as the IP address, subnet mask and also the gateway address.

Choose the machine you wish to install.

•	If the printer driver you wish to use is installed on your computer: Check the box of Currently installed drivers and choose the machine you wish to install, and then click Next.
•	If the driver you wish to use is not installed on your computer: Click Have Disk and then specify the path of the printer driver.

Click Next after you choose the correct driver.

A summary screen will appear. Confirm the settings of the driver.

•

Creating an executable file

The Driver Deployment Wizard software can also be used to create self running .EXE files. These self-running .EXE files can be saved to the network, copied to a CD-ROM, a floppy disc or even E-mailed to another user. Once run, the driver and its settings are automatically installed without any user intervention.

•	Copy the Driver files to this PC and create an installation program for other users. Choose this option if you wish to install the driver onto your computer and also create a self-running executable file for use with another computer using the same operating system as your own.
•	Only create an Installation Program for other users. Choose this option if the driver is already installed on your computer and you wish to create a self-running executable file without installing the driver again on your own computer.

Note

If you work in a “queue” based network and you create an executable file for another user who does not have access to the same printer queue that you define into the executable file, the driver when installed on the remote computer will default to LPT1 printing.

Click Finish. The driver is automatically installed to your computer.
