Install and Configure Printer Drivers

In this example we are installing a FS1920 Driver. The steps to install a printer driver will be similar for most Kyocera printers.

Make sure you install the printer driver designed for the model of printer you are using.

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Printers & Faxes.
2. Double-click Add Printer.

3. Click Next.

   

4. Make sure that Local printer attached to this computer is selected and click Next.

   

5. Select the printer port that the printer is connected to.

   

6. Select the Manufacturer and Printer for the printer you are using.

   

7. If prompted with a message that a driver already exists, choose to keep the existing driver as shown below. Click Next.

   

8. By default, the name of the printer will be listed as the name of the driver. Change this to something more meaningful such as Medicofoils or Websterfoils. In this example the printer will be called COLDFOILS.

   

9. Select No to the question that asks if you would like this printer to be the default printer and click Next.

10. Choose to share the printer and change the Share name to be the same as the printer driver name. Click Next.

    

11. If you know the name of the computer the printer is plugged into, you can type this name into the Location field. In our example the computer name is Fredserver. This is optional. If you do not know the computer name leave the Location and Comment fields blank and click Next.

    

12. Choose No to printing a test page and click Next.

    

13. The installation of the driver is now complete. Click Finish.
