System Software
1. Prepare to use the parallel port (see the procedure on page 19).
2. Insert the System Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Make sure the print spool on the PC is clear of any pending print jobs.
Installation may not succeed if the print spool contains any pending print jobs.
4. In Windows, open the My Computer folder and navigate to the CD-ROM drive.
The root directory of the CD contains the System Installer folder and the system
installation files (.dle files). The System Installer folder contains a Readme.txt which
describes the contents of the folder and how to use Printer.exe.
5. Copy the System Installer folder to the PC desktop and keep the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
Do not copy the .dle files to your local hard drive.
6. Open the Printer.exe file in the System Installer folder on the PC desktop and browse to
the CD location of the appropriate system software file. Double-click the file on the CD,
or select the file and click Open.
For an AR-P15 without a hard disk drive, open the file arp15_diskless.dle .
For an AR-P15 with a hard disk drive, open the file arp15_disk.dle .
To confirm whether the AR-P15 is with or without an HDD (i.e., disk or

diskless), print the Setting List and check under *Options > Printer HDD.
7. At the next screen, click Start.
8. At the message "Please switch on the printer and press OK to continue," power on the
copier and then click OK on the PC.
You must click OK on the PC within five seconds after turning on the copier. If a parallel
port time-out occurs, recycle power on the copier and then try again.
9. Wait while the system software installation proceeds.
In ECP mode, this process takes under 30 minutes for arp15_ diskless.dle and under 60
minutes for arp15_ disk.dle. If the PC is not in ECP mode, the installation takes much
longer. Status messages and progress indicators appear during installation.
10. At the message "Download Complete. Wait for the printer to reboot," click OK and then
click Exit.
11. Wait while the AR-P15 reboots and prints a Setting List.
If the Setting List does not print, make sure the correct paper is loaded. Use this Setting
List to determine the network settings and other default configuration information.
