Thank you for purchasing the Fast EtherNet. This manual
explains how to set up the Fast EtherNet and connect it to the
computer. Please use in conjunction with the User Manual.

Voluntary control on interference to radio communications

This equipment is a Class A information technology
equipment, which complies with the standards of
VCCI. Interference to radio communications may
occur if this equipment is used in a residential
envir onment. If this is the case, the user is encouraged
to use the appropriate measures [to correct the
interference].

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for help.

Printing from Windows 95/98

Configuring Windows98/95

In order to print from W indows 95/98 via TCP/IP , it is necessary
to set up the Fast EtherNet and Windows 95/98. Windows 95/
98 does not include a LPR printing function, so you must use
the OKI LPR utility. This utility can be found on the
accompanying CDROM.

OKI LPR Utility Operating Envir onment

• A computer which runs Windows 95/98 and which has a
network adapter supporting TCP/IP.

• A compatible printer such as;

• OKIP A GE 16n

• OKIP AGE 20 series

• OKIP AGE 24 series

• OKIP AGE 8c

• OKIP AGE 8c+

The operation of this LPR utility cannot be guaranteed
with any printer other than those specified above..

Install “TCP/IP” protocol in Windows98/95 and configure the
IP address, subnet and gateway.

If you type in a wrong IP addr ess, the network may go
down or other severe damage ma y occur. Make sure
to check with the network manager and to determine
the appropriate address.

In the case that a small-scale LAN is included, such as a network
connecting one printer and one computer, refer to Page 22 for
the settings.

In the following explanation, Window98 is used as an example.
The screen display and part of the contents of the selected
directory may differ, depending on the OS version and the system
structure.

Please have ready the “Windows98/95 System Software CD­ROM”.

on the hard disc, attempting to print a large volume
of data or too many print jobs may cause failure of
the data spool and the printer may fail to print.

1. Set up the printer driver as the “Default local printer”.
Please refer to the your printer’s user manual f or instructions

on how to set up your printer driver.
