Printer Drivers
To test the printer, print a Demo page:
□ Press MENU repeatedly until INFORMATION
MENU appears.
□ Press ITEM - repeatedly until DEMO1
displays.
□ Press SELECT. The Demo page prints and the
printer goes back on line.
Which Printer Driver?
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and
PostScript(PS). You can install either driver or both,
depending on your application.
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript
(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver.
This will be more efficient and give good results.
If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing
PostScript graphics, choose the PostScript driver.
Performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at
their best quality.
If your applications vary, you could choose to install both.
Then select the one you plan to use most to be your
Windows default driver. Choose the alternate driver from
within the print dialog when you need to.
If you install both drivers, simply select the same printer
port (LPT1 or Network Port) during the installation.
Readme File
Please refer to the readme file on CD1 for the
latest information on printer drivers.

Network Installation
Connect to the Network Port
No Ethernet® cable is supplied with the printer. Use an Ethernet cable with two twisted wire pairs
and an RJ45 plug.
!
□ Turn the printer off.
□ Connect your Ethernet cable to the network port on the print server (1).
□ Connect the other end of the cable to the network port (2).
□ Turn the printer on and wait for the print server status light (3) to stop blinking.
□ Press the Test button (4) on the print server. An OkiLAN Configuration Sheet prints. This sheet
contains information you need to set up the printer on your network.

Network Installation
Install the Ferrite Core
Important!
In order to reduce electromagnetic interference—”noise” that interferes with TVs or other appliances—you
must put the enclosed ferrite core on the network cable connected to your printer.
This is required by the FCC.
Here’s how to do it:
□ Disconnect the network cable from the printer, if necessary.
□ Loop the cable if necessary to keep the ferrite core
in place.
□ Place the open core about 1 inch from the cable connector on the printer end.
□ Press the two halves of the core together until they
click shut.
