NTRODUCTION
This User’s Guide explains the functionality of your printer’s built in 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface.
This network interface supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet­II and SNAP, and can detect those frame types automatically. The network interface also supports TCP/IP protocols.
The Network Interface Panel, for interconnection and producing self-diagnostic test and configuration printouts, located at the rear of the printer.
This section details the network interface specification and several software utilities.

ELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
With the printer power switched on, press the TEST button located on the Network Interface Panel (at the rear of the printer) for more than three seconds and then release. The self­diagnostic test results and configuration settings are printed.
On the first page of the Network Information that is printed out, under the heading “General Information” the MAC or Ethernet Address is given. For example:
MAC Address 00:80:87:D4:FA:00
D
EFAULT USER NAME AND PASSWORD
To apply configuration changes using a Web browser, you will be prompted for a username and password. The username is ‘root’ and the default password is the last six characters of the Ethernet (MAC) address, e.g. ‘D4FA00’ (any alpha characters must be in upper case).
You can change the root password to allow you to change settings and configure the printer through the Web browser. You can find instructions on how to change the password for the Network Card Setup sections for Windows or Mac.

ETWORK CARD SETUP UTILITY
The Network Card Setup utility allows you to carry out the following:
> Set IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for TCP/IP
manually or by using DHCP.
> Launch the Printer Web Page.
> Enable/disable the Printer Settings Web Page.
> Restart your printer to ensure settings have been saved.
For full configuration options for your printer, access the Printer Web Page. For information on the Printer Web Page, see “Using
a web browser” on page 9.
Support Configuration using the Network Card Setup utility requires a PC with Windows 9x/Me, Windows 2000 Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/Work-station 4.0 and Windows XP or a Mac with OS 9 or OS X. This utility can only be used on a computer that can be connected to the network with TCP/IP and located on the same segment as the printer.
To install and configure the Network Card Setup utility, see
> Windows: “Launching the Network Card Setup utility” on
page 18.
> Mac OS X: “Network Card Setup utility for Mac OS X” on
page 31.
> Mac OS 9: “Network Card Setup utility for Mac OS 9” on

U
SING A WEB BROWSER
If you do not wish to launch or install the Network Card Setup utility, you can access the Printer Web Page directly through a web browser.
If the printer is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its settings and the printer menu settings can be configured using a Web browser, such as, Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and higher, Netscape Navigator version 6.2 and higher, Opera
6.0 and higher, or Safari 1.2 and higher. There is no guarantee offered for other browsers. Refer to the relevant manuals for details of how to launch and use the browser.

DJUSTING PRINTER SETTINGS
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples only. Network addresses used in your installation must be generated from your own network.
1. Launch the Web browser and enter the IP Address of the network interface card in “Address (Location/Position)” and press the Enter key. You can find the IP Address on the Self-Diagnostic Test printout. The Printer Web Page is displayed.
NOTE On the web page you can view printer status, job lists and links. You can also configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the network card. However, to configure printer settings, you need to log in as “root” and enter the correct password to be able to configure all items.
2. To access and adjust printer control settings, such as printer, network, security and maintenance, click the
Administrator Login button in the left-hand pane.
3. Enter the username, “root” and password as the last six
digits of the MAC address (uppercase).
4. As this is the first time logging into the Printer Web Page, the Printer Identification (basic setup) page is launched. You have two options:
• You can enter the printer location, asset number,
administrator name and select “Do not show this page again”. Click OK to save these details. Allow a few seconds for the settings to save and the printer to restart automatically.
• If you do not wish to enter any details, click SKIP.
5. The Printer Web Page with full menu options opens up. Browse the menu and update information as appropriate.
The following table outlines the menu options for the Printer Web Page.

SNMP
The printer and network card can be managed via a standard SNMP management station. The network card supports SNMPv1, MIB-II and Oki Data Private MIB. To enable correct management from an SNMP management station, the Oki Data Private MIB needs to be added to that management station. Please refer to the SNMP manager documentation for more information on adding MIBs to SNMP management stations.
You can download the Oki Data Private MIB file from the Oki Printing Solutions website at www.okiprintingsolutions.com. Refer to the readme file in the “MIB” folder for further information.
The printer’s trap address can be set in five places using TCP/IP.
Printer trap settings can be made through the Web browser.
OKI LPR
The Oki LPR Utility is for Oki printers which support TCP/IP. This utility allows for the printing of data to printers connected to a network via TCP/IP. The utility redirects printing data to the LPR port of the specified IP address.
S
Windows XP/2000/Me/98/NT4.0/Windows Server 2003 with TCP/ IP support and Oki printers that support TCP/IP.
The Oki LPR utility requires that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your Windows operating system. To install the TCP/IP protocol, consult your Windows manual.

If you installed the printer driver using the “Install Driver” link on the product CD, Oki LPR may have already been installed. However, if you installed the driver using the “Add Printer wizard”, carry out the following steps:
