How to Program a GCC Printer

Users can program the GCC printer from a desktop computer system.

A GCC printer has features that mimic a standalone desktop or laptop PC. These printers include hardware components found in most computers, such as a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM) and networking capabilities via Ethernet ports. However, before the hardware components in a computer can work in unison, users must install a controlling program or operating system (OS). The OS makes it easier for users to interact with installed hardware components. Similarly, you can install the GCC printer control program on your PC to help you effectively use the machine for your printing activities.

Instructions

1. Insert the printer's installation CD into the computer. Wait for the "GCC Menu" application to show on the screen. Press "Enter" after reading the Introduction screen.

2. Click "Agree" on the Software License Agreement screen.

3. Click "Register." Wait for GCC's online registration page to open in your Internet browser, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Fill in the requested information and then close the browser window to move on to the next steps on the main menu.

4. Click "Printer Software" on the main menu. You will see options to install the printer's program components, such as the following: TCP/IP Printer Port software, PostScript drivers, Adobe Type Manager and Fonts.

5. Click "Next" to advance through installation of each program component while making your preferred selections.

6. Click "Exit" once you have returned to the main menu. Restart the PC.
