      information file will remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version of the
      printer driver, the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.
    - Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder ("C:\WINDOWS\
      system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system, and if there is a folder of the corresponding
      model, remove it.

      indicates a number, which differs depending on the computer environment). Before removing these
      files, open the inf file, then check the model name described on the last few lines to confirm it is the file
      for the corresponding model. The number of the PNF file is the same as that of the inf file.
