Ease of Network Setup

EASE OF NETWORK SETUP

 Physical setup is simple as the 2335dn Multifunction Laser Printer ships fully assem-
bled save for stacking it on top of the optional paper drawers, but note that Dell
recommends at least two people lift the unit out of the box and place it in the desired
location due to weight concerns. Users then remove the packing tape and open the
side cover to access the pre-loaded print cartridges.
 The CD launches upon insertion in the drive, and the automated installation routine
will have users up and running in a matter of minutes. It takes six clicks to install the
PCL and Adobe PostScript drivers, as well as included software, using the default
routine; the port is automatically created, and the IP address is assigned using DHCP.
Furthermore, the drivers automatically detect configured accessories.
 Dell provides a utility whereby administrators can remotely install the drivers on
workstations for uniform operation across the organization.
 The CD contains the PCL, Adobe PostScript and scan drivers, a supplies manage-
ment system, Quick Launch Utility, printer settings utility, Dell ScanManager and
network/PC fax software, as well as a user's manual in PDF format so that it can be
printed.
 OpenManage Printer Manager can be downloaded from the company's Web site.
