3. Select [Add Printer] to add a new printer using the new driver. Choose [My Computer];
do not choose Network Printer. The port the printer is connected to should be the same
as one of the existing printers. Choose [Have disk] if prompted to locate the driver to
ensure the installation of the new driver. (This step creates a temporary printer that
enables the new driver to be installed properly.)
Note: If your PC has no previous DC 220/230 printer driver, install the printer using
" Add Printer" and follow the normal NT installation procedures.
4. Follow the normal driver installation steps, but be sure to choose [Replace existing
driver] when prompted to keep or replace the existing driver.
Then finish the NT printer driver installation normally.
5. Delete all the Xerox DC 220/230 printer objects including the printer just added in step
3. Do this by highlighting each DC 220/230 printer object in the [Start: Settings:
Printers] folder and pressing [Delete]. (This step will ensure all references to the old
driver are removed.)
6. Using Windows NT Explorer, find and delete all occurrences of the file XDCS30.BPD.
7. Restart the computer by choosing [Start: Shutdown: Restart].
8. Add the deleted printers back using the Xerox DC 220/230 driver from the list of
manufacturers [Xerox] and drivers [Xerox Doc Centre 220/230] displayed during the
installation process. Choose the Xerox driver, not Microsoft.
Use [Add printer] and select [My Computer] or [Network Printer]. Then choose
[Xerox Doc Centre 220/230 PS2 (Xerox)] and select [Keep existing driver].
The new driver version is now installed on your system.
9. Select [Start: Settings: Printers: Properties] and select the About tab. Verify that the
version number is 1.11.00 98.09.02 or later. Then choose [Cancel].
10. If this PC is not a remote workstation of an NT shared printer, select [Start: Settings:
Printers: Document Defaults] to configure the printer' s options on the System
Configuration Tab and then specify the desired defaults on the Paper/Output Tab.
Why Can' t I Select Printer Options?
System configuration and defaults cannot be changed from within an application— they
must be changed from [Start: Settings: Printers].
This means, for example, that if you wish to print Duplex (2 Sided) in a Word document
and you have not configured your printer options, you will not be able to print using the
[2 Sided] option. You must select [Start: Settings: Printers] and specify the print
options there first. Then when you select printer options from within an application, you
will be able to select [2 Sided].
