If Installed, Check Your Current Driver:

If you have already set up the printers using the previous version of the driver (v-2.1.0.1), please be sure to first uninstall this version, as well as remove any current instances of the L3 printer from Control Panel before installing the new version provided in this document (v-2.7.4.0).

  4. At this point, you may power on and connect any secondary printer.
