Which Printer Driver?
Printer Drivers Available
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and PostScript(PS). You can install either driver or both, depending on your application.
When to Use the PCL Driver
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.
When to Use the Postscript Driver
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.
When to Install Both Drivers
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 during the installation.
USB Versus Parallel Interface: Windows
Installation instructions are included for both USB and parallel connections. Oki Data recommends using a USB
connection, as your printer is performance optimized for a USB interface.
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.
