INSTALLING DRIVERS AND UTILITIES

Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:

>TWAIN driver (only use when connecting to the MFP via USB) (Windows only)

>Printer driver: PCL5e, PCL 6, PostScript3 (MB470/MB480)

>Fax driver (MB470/MB480) (Windows only)

NOTE

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

The installation instructions below refer to USB connection. For network connection details refer to the Network Guide.

If you are running windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, you may need to follow these steps to ensure WIA service starts when using the TWAIN driver and Actkey Utility.

1.Click Start > Administrative Tools > Services.

2.Double-click Services.

3.Double-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).

4.From the Startup type menu, select Automatic.

5.Under Service status, click Start.

6.Click OK.

WINDOWS - TWAIN AND PRINTER DRIVERS

The TWAIN driver is used for “Pull Scanning”, i.e. initiating a scan from your computer via software. Compare this to “Push Scanning” where you start the scan by pressing a button on the MFP's front panel. The TWAIN driver only works via USB connections. This means it's not possible to control the scanner over the network from your computer.

There are two different ways of installing the TWAIN and printer drivers:

1.Plugging the printer in first and performing a “Plug and play” type of installation. In this case you must install the TWAIN driver first.

2.Not plugging the printer in yet, but running the Oki driver installer program from the DVD-ROM. This installs the TWAIN (scanner driver) and printer drivers. Once the printer is switched on and plugged in, Windows completes the installation automatically.

NOTE

>The Oki driver installer program is the recommended installation method.

>“Plug and play” installation only applies when connecting to your machine via USB.

Getting started > 18

Plug and play installation

The MFP is a “dual device” - Windows sees it as a scanner and a printer. This means when the MFP is plugged into a PC using a USB cable, you'll be prompted to install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver first and then the printer driver.

1.Attach the printer to a USB port of your computer.

2.Switch on the Printer.

3.Insert the Drivers & Utilities DVD.

If the DVD runs automatically, cancel the dialogue. The ‘New Hardware Found' dialogue will display.

If you do not see the ‘New Hardware Found' dialogue, please check that power and USB cables are connected properly, and the printer is switched on.

PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your MFP will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.

The best performance will be obtained when using standard 60 - 120g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.

Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

CASSETTE TRAYS

The Cassette Tray can handle paper weights of 60g/m² to 120g/m². The Cassette Tray is ideal for printing A4 documents for more than 1 page in length.

	SIZE	DIMENSIONS	WEIGHT (G/M²)
	A5	148 x 210mm
	B5	182 x 257mm
	Executive	184.2 x 266.7mm	Light	60 - 63 g/m2
			Medium Light	64 - 74 g/m2
	A4	210 x 297mm
			Medium	75 - 89 g/m2
	Letter	216 x 279mm
			Medium Heavy	90 - 104 g/m2
	Legal 13	216 x 330mm	Heavy	105 - 120 g/m2
	Legal 13.5	216 x 343mm
	Legal 14	216 x 356mm
	Statement	139.7 x 215.9mm

NOTE

The optional second tray can also handle the above paper sizes except for

Statement.

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (the optional 2nd or the multi purpose tray) you can have the MFP switch to another tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Printer menu.

MULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same media sizes as the cassette trays but in weights from 60g/m² up to 163g/m². For very heavy paper stock, use the face up (rear cover) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the MFP is almost straight.

Getting started > 24

Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of 10mm for MB470 and MB480 and one sheet at a time for MB460.

	SIZE	DIMENSIONS	WEIGHT
	A6	105 x 148mm
	A5	148 x 210mm
	A4	210 x 297mm
	B5	182 x 257mm
	Letter	215.9 x 279.4mm

	Monarch Envelope	98.4 x 190.5mm
	DL Envelope	109.9 x 219.9mm
	C5 Envelope	162 x 229mm
	C6	114 x 162mm
	Custom: Width	86 ~ 216 mm
	Length	140 ~ 355.6 mm

NOTE

Label mode must be selected in the printer driver, if you want to print on heavy media which exceeds 120 g/m2.

Envelopes

CAUTION!

Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Transparencies

CAUTION!

Do not use transparencies designed for use in colour laser printers and photocopiers.

Recommended type is CG3300 by 3M (A4 or Letter size).

Getting started > 25

Labels

CAUTION!

Labels should cover entire carrier sheet. The carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any part of the printer.

FACE DOWN STACKER

The face down stacker on the top of the MFP can hold up to 150 sheets of 64g/m² standard paper and can handle paper stocks up to 120g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

FACE UP STACKER

For the face up stacker, cover at the rear of the MFP should be opened when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for heavy paper stocks.

DUPLEX UNIT

The duplex unit provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 75-105g/m².
