User Setup Disk Creating Tool
The User Setup Disk Creating Tool program located in the MakeDisk folder
of the Utilities folder on the Drivers and Utilities CD and the printer drivers
located on the Drivers and Utilities CD are used to create driver installation
packages that contain custom driver settings. A driver installation package can
contain a group of saved printer driver settings and other data for things such as:
• Print orientation and Multiple Up (document settings)
• Watermarks
• Font references
If you want to install the printer driver with the same settings on multiple
computers running the same operating system, create a setup disk in a floppy
disk or in a server on the network. Using the setup disk that you have created
will reduce the amount of work required when installing the printer driver.
• Install the Dell™ 2150cn Color Printer driver in the computer on which the
setup disk is to be created.
• The setup disk can only be used on the operating system on which the disk
was created or computers running the same operating system. Create a
separate setup disk for each of the operating systems.
Software Update
The firmware and/or driver updates can be downloaded from the Dell Support
web site located at support.dell.com.
