You can install PhaserPort software using the installer on your printer’s software 
CD-ROM.  A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers, PhaserPort, 
and other software.

Put the printer’s software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. 

■

If the Windows autorun feature is enabled, the CD-ROM launches 
automatically.

■

If the Windows autorun feature is disabled, double-click My 
Computer

, then double-click the CD icon to launch the CD-ROM.

View the brief introductory information, then click Install Drivers to 
launch the installer.

When you are prompted to select Easy Install or Custom Install, select 
Custom Install

.

During custom installation, a dialog is displayed enabling you to select the 
options you want to install.  Check the box for PhaserPort.  To install the 
drivers and PPD files for your printer, check the box for Drivers/PPDs (this 
is recommended for first-time installations).  Follow the on-screen prompts 
to complete the installation.  For details, see “Create your first port and 
install the printer” on page 118.

After the PhaserPort software is installed, the Add PhaserPort dialog is 
displayed.  Create your first port:

In the Description field, enter a name for the port (this can be the 
printer name/model, location, or any other descriptive name of your 
choice), such as Phaser 740. 

In the Name/Address field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the 
printer (for example, 192.1.1.2).     

Click OK.

You are asked if you want to install the PhaserShare Administrator 
software.  Install the PhaserShare Administrator software if you also want 
to print using NetWare. 

If you don’t know the printer’s IP address or DNS name, click Browse 
to display a list of printers on the network.  Double-click the printer 
you want; PhaserPort automatically enters the information into the 
Add PhaserPort

 dialog.  To search the network again, click Refresh; to 

narrow down the search by using subnets, click Advanced.
