How to install the MP drivers using the prepackaged CD-ROM (Windows)

The MP drivers can be installed using the Easy Install or Custom Install methods.

Easy Install automatically installs the software, which is in the CD-ROM. This method is recommended for first-time users.

Custom Install allows the user to select which software program(s) to install from the MP drivers, application software and digitized manual.

Before Installation :
Login as a user with Administrator privileges to install on WindowsXP/Vista/2000.
If your computer has resident software such as antivirus software, exit that software in advance.
Turn the printer off and remove the cable connecting the computer and the printer.
