Installing the Printer 
Driver

Before Installation

About version upgrades

If you are upgrading a printer driver, remove the 
previous printer driver before beginning the installation. 
For details on the procedure to remove the printer driver, 
refer to the section “Uninstalling the Printer Driver” in 
this guide. 

If the installation fails or is cancelled, restart your 
computer before attempting the installation again.

Note

Be sure to restart your computer after installing or 
uninstalling the printer driver. Unless you reboot, 
unstable operation may result.

USB 2.0 connection

The UP-TX1 series is compatible with USB 2.0. 
However, if your computer or USB hub is not USB 2.0-
compliant, the following message appears when you 
connect the UP-TX1 series printer. Click 

 to close the 

message. 

About Driver Signing Options

The present printer driver has not passed Windows Logo 
testing, therefore when you install the driver an error 
message may appear, preventing you from installing the 
driver. 
In the [Driver Signing Options] dialog box, select 
[Ignore] or [Warn] in the [What action do you want 
Windows to take?] group box. If you select [Block], you 
cannot install the printer driver. 

Open the [Driver Signing Options] dialog box as 
follows:

1

On the [Start] menu, click [Control Panel]. 
(Under Windows 2000, click [Start], select 
[Settings], and click [Control Panel].)

2

Double-click [System]. 
The [System Properties] dialog box opens. 

3

Click the [Hardware] tab. 

4

Click the [Driver Signing] button. 

All the explanations in this guide assume that the setting 
in this dialog box is [Warn]. 

Connecting multiple printers

When several UP-TX1 series printers are connected to a 
computer running Windows XP, install the printer driver 
for each printer according to the explanation in “Printer 
Driver Installation Under Windows XP.

When using Windows 2000, you can simply connect the 
second and subsequent printers, and installation will be 
carried out automatically.

Note

For installation of subsequent printers, install each 
printer separately.
