It is important, however, to mention that any of these devices need to have been switched off before disconnecting. If the copier fax printer happens to be on a network then it is important to ensure that the network cable has been removed too.
Step 3

With the disc the process requires one to choose the uninstall option from the menu provided within it and then following the steps provided all the way to the end.
Tips
If the process does not require a disc then the user has to go to the start menu of their Windows based operating system and select the provided option relating to the copier fax printer device. Once this is done one will have to select the server properties option and under the drivers tab select the driver in question and proceed to delete it.
