Introduction

Your OkiLAN 6120e Print Server comes with two types
of software utilities: OkiV iew 32 and OkiNet Utilities.

OkiView 32

OkiV iew 32 is a general purpose utility for configuring
and monitoring printers on NetW are and W indows NT/
2000 servers. It includes a GUI for the Win32
(Windows) environment. For more information on using
OkiV iew 32, see section VIII.

OkiNet Utilities
