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 to 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 in advance the Dell Laser Printer 5100cn 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 different types 

of operating systems.

Software Update 

The firmware and/or driver updates can be downloaded from
