Default Setting up Yamaha TF series as Reaper audio interface?

I'm still pretty new to Reaper (Windows 10 running Ver 6) I'm going to introduce a friend to Reaper and he will want to record multitracks into Reaper via his Yamaha TF3 console. I expected to have to install Windows/ASIO drivers/software for this desk but when I looked at the Yamaha Downloads Web-page I couldn't see any relevant download. In the past I've set up a LS9 as an audio interface and had to install some specific software.
Do I need to find and install software before I can set Reaper to interface with his TF3?

Thanks in advance.

You must be looking the wrong place?

Thank you, The link is pretty much the same as the Europen downloads section as I was looking at; I had assumed that I should looking for an obvious drivers download, so instead I'll go read the user manual to discover what procedure I should follow to make this happen; I also guess that I need to install either the StageMix or TF Editor software from the downloads page.
Thanks again;
Jim.

The file with the word driver in it is the driver

The other stuff is probably not required for basic audio interface use.

Lol & Thanks Stella;
You make a valid point, I did notice the Steinberg Driver, but was very hesitant to try it as I assumed that it was a driver that was written only for Stienberg software I.e. Nuendo Live that comes included with the purchase of a Yamaha TF series mixer.
We'll be giving it a go tonight.

Jim.

I believe it's the ASIO USB driver used across all Steinberg and Yamaha hardware.

I'm sure will all fall into place when you install it and set Reaper to use it.
Have fun!
