ETWORK CONFIGURATION
I
NTRODUCTION
Your machine incorporates a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface. This guide
explains the functionality of the built in network interface. Access for interconnection is
provided via an interface panel at the rear of the machine.
This network interface supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-II and SNAP, and can
detect those frame types automatically.
Also, the interface supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX (NetWare) and
NetBEUI.
This guide details the network interface specification and several software utilities.
You should set the emulation in the printer menu settings to Auto or PS before printing the
configuration map.

Not all utilities, features or protocols are supported by every operating

printer’s IP address.
> Printers not directly connected, bu t s hared via a PC (Client Server)
Why use the Oki Driver Installer?
>Automatically discovers printers on the Network (TCP/IP)
>Installs driver and correctly assigns the appropriate port and IP address
>Allows easy configuration and sharing of the printer with other Network users
>Automatically configures the printer driver with the appropriate hardware device
options such as a storage device, additional paper trays, etc. (via the Oki Network
Extension software)

SING THE ADD PRINTER WIZARD
Method summary:
The following table shows the different ways to connect to the printer (port types).
The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers using the TCP/IP
protocol. A computer that acts as a print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to
print.
Can be configured to use either LPR or RAW (e.g. Port9100).
OkiLPR
Used to connect your printer over TCP/IP using an LPR port.
OkiLPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS and PRN files direct ly to your
printer and automatically redirect jobs to other printers on the network.
IPP
The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) defines a standard protocol for printing as well as
managing print jobs, media, resolution, etc.
NetBEUI
NetBEUI (NetBios Extend ed User Interface) is a protocol that was designed for use in small
workgroups or LANs. Within Windows NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between
computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but it does have limitations, and i s not
as robust as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small business or home networks.

NOTE
It will not be necessary for printers connected to a network using DCHP to use
this setup method.
Some steps may not display depending on the network protocols installed.
1.Connect the machine to the network and turn on.
2.Insert the DVD-ROM into the DVD-R OM driv e. The Setup Utilit y starts automatically.

“Configuration settings” on page 7.
Microsoft windows > 33
Using TCP/IP protocol
When using lpr in UNIX and other TCP/IP environments, please select Yes. To use in
a TCP/IP environment, an IP address should be assigned to the Ethernet card.
If Yes has been selected and TCP/IP is the only working protocol and the IP address
has not already been assigned, you can either obtain an IP address automatically or
assign an IP address.
When Obtain an IP address automatically is selected, the device IP address will
be automatically assigned by the DHCP se rver. In an environment without a DHCP
server, please assign the IP address manually.
If you are manually assigning an IP address, you need to enter:
> An IP address
> Subnet mask
> Gateway address
10.Click Next.
Using Bonjour protocol
Bonjour is the preferred protocol for printing data from the Macintosh environment.
Using NetBEUI protocol
Using NetBEUI makes it easy to manage your Oki product and print within the
network environment of Windows.
11.When the settings are correct, click Execute. The new settings are transmitted to
the network card but it still operates with pre-transmission settings.
12.Click Finish to validate the new settings.
13.Switch the printer off for 15 seconds and on again.
Now that both Windows and the printer have been configured to use TC P/IP, the next step
is to configure Windows to print to the network printer.

To get the best results from your printer, install the Postscript Print er Description (PPD) file
supplied with your printer and use this to customise the Apple PostScript driver that is built
in to the OS X. Features provided by the PPD file include:
>Supported paper types
>Paper trays
>Printer resolution

ETTING UP A NETWORK PRINTER
1.If the printer does not already have an IP address, us e t he Printer Setup Utility to
assign an IP address. See “The printer setup utility interface” on page 37.
To do this, you will need to know the printer's MAC address. This can be found on the
print server's network summary printout. See “Configuration settings” on page 7.
2.Install the printer driver software. This copies the printer driver files to the correct
location on your Mac OS X system.
3.Make a connection to the printer by USB, TCP/IP, Rendezvous or AppleTalk. See
“Connecting to your printer” on page 43.
