Installation planning
- USB, wired network or wireless connection
- Supported drivers and device configuration
- Shared printing and user access
- Test printing and agreed scanning functions
Match configuration to the workflow
A printer installation may involve several computers, a network connection and scanning features with separate requirements. List who needs to print, whether color or duplex output matters and whether scanning is part of the request. Include the exact model and any existing connection details.
Before changing a shared printer, consider the users who rely on it and arrange a suitable interruption. Confirm which computers and agreed functions will be tested. Keep manufacturer account ownership and any email-scanning requirements clear so the installation can be handed over to the right person.
Before we get started
Have the printer model, intended location and computer details available. Email scanning and other advanced functions require separate configuration and suitable account access.
