How to install the Kyocera KM-5050 onto your Windows system

The driver for this printer autodetects the windows version, so there is no need for you to determine whether your machine is running Windows XP or Windows 7, or whether it is a 64 bit operating system or not. This install will possibly take you through 24 different screens, all of which are detailed as best as possible.

  Uncheck the Print a test page option, then click on the Finish button. The reason you need to uncheck that option is because we first need to configure job accounting. This completes the driver installation.

• Step 6 - Configure Job Accounting

  The printer will not print if you do not configure job accounting. Each time you print you will be prompted for your scanner/copier ID - if you don't have one, please ask the main department office staff to give you one. You will not be able to print with out it. Also note, the Kyocera print tracks pages printed per user (ID). Go to the Start menu, then Control Panel, then Printers.

  Click on the Device Settings tab, and follow the screen below.

  You should now be back at the Device Settings (tab) screen again. Click on the button labeled Auto Configure... and follow the screen below.
