Printer Driver Software Installation
The printer driver software is the program that runs the printer.  It converts the data in the file you
want to print into information that the printer can understand.  It also controls communication
between the printer and computer as the data is printed.
You will need the following PC hardware and software in order to use the printer driver:
Computer type
IBM PC/AT or Compatible Computer
Operating system
Windows 95/98,
Windows NT 4.0
CPU
486DX 66 MHz or better
Connection
IEEE-1284 parallel cable
To ensure reliability use the IEEE-1284 compliant
parallel cable that is supplied with the machine.  Only
cables labeled “IEEE-1284” can be used with your Pro
16p.
USB Cable* (not supplied)
To ensure reliability use a USB compliant cable
purchased from your local vendor.
Ethernet Network Interface
(optional)
A Xerox Ethernet network interface may be purchased
from your Xerox Authorized Dealer for connecting the
Pro 16p to Ethernet supported networks.
Do not use the parallel and USB ports at the same time.  The USB port is assigned the higher
priority over the parallel port when more than one device is connected to the machine.  When
a system using USB is connected to the printer while no data is supplied to the 1284 port for
more than one minute, priority will be assigned to the USB port for printer services.
When the USB printing has been completed and disconnected, the 1284 port priority will
resume in 60 seconds after disconnection.
