NSTALLING DRIVERS AND UTILITIES

Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:

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

> Printer driver: PCL5c, PCL 6, PostScript3

> Fax driver

NOTE Mac OS X uses the PostScript3 driver 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.

WAIN 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, the installation is complete.

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 printer) 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 autoboots, cancel the dialogue.

The ‘New Hardware Found' dialogue will display.

Getting started > 18

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.

4. Install Twain driver first

5. Next install the Printer driver

FAX

DRIVER

The fax driver allows you to send faxes directly from your computer without printing the document first. With the fax driver you are sending the fax data from your computer to the MFP, and then the MFP automatically sends the document.

Installing the fax printer driver

This is installed as part of the Oki driver installer wizard.

Getting started > 19

ONFIGURATION TOOL

APER 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 75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. A suitable type is Color Copy by Mondi.

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.

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 MFP. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki transparencies (Order No. 01074101). In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process. A suitable type is Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter).

Business cards recommended are produced by Oki (Order No. 09002985).

Note:

Tray 1 supports up to 120g/m².

> 176g/m² - MP Tray only.

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd/3rd tray if you have one, 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 (refer to the Printing Guide). When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Paper Setup menu (See “Paper Setup” on page 33).

If fitted, tray 2 (or 3) may be removed and replenished while the machine is being fed from tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while the machine is being fed from tray 2 (or 3) because parts of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2 (or 3).

Getting started > 22

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same media sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up to 200g/m² (Ultra heavy). For very heavy paper stock, use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the MFP is almost straight.

The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).

For paper lengths exceeding 431.8mm use paper stock up to 128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.

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.

Watermarked, headed paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge into the MFP. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function.

ACE DOWN STACKER

The face down stacker on the top of the MFP can hold up to 250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper and can handle paper stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

ACE UP STACKER

The face up stacker at the rear of the MFP should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.

The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 200g/m².

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than 176g/m².

UPLEX 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 64-105g/m².

OADING PAPER

ASSETTE TRAYS

1. Remove the paper tray from the MFP.

2. Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the middle (2) to ensure that all

sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3).

3. Load paper long edge feed (LEF) (for letter headed paper load face down with top edge towards the right of the MFP) (1) up to mark (a).

4. Adjust the rear stopper and paper guides (2) to the size of paper being used.

NOTE For A6 paper, remove the paper guides and re-install in the A6 position.

Getting started > 24

CAUTION!

IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (3) to the size and orientation of paper being used (A4 LEF in the example above).

To prevent paper jams:

> Do not leave space between the paper and the guides and rear stopper.

> Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the type of paper stock.

> Do not load damaged paper.

> Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same time.

> Close the paper tray gently.

> Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described below for the

2nd tray).

NOTE

> If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st (upper) tray, you

can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during printing to reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd tray, do not pull out the 1st tray. This will cause a paper jam.

> For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker is closed (the

paper exits from the top of the MFP). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets, depending on paper weight.

> For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker is open and the

paper support is extended fully. Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.

> Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card stock, etc.).

CAUTION!

Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as it may result in a paper jam.

ETWORK SET UP

The MFP must also be set up properly on your network to perform scan to e-mail and scan to FTP functions. In order for other network devices to find the MFP on the network, the following network parameters have to be set.

1. IP Address Set:

2. IP Address: . . .

3. Subnet mask:. . .

4. Gateway

Address:. . .

5. DNS server:. . .

6. SMTP server:. . .

7. SMTP port:25

8. POP3 server: . . .

9. POP3 Port:110

Explanation:

1. IP Address Set:

Choose Auto to obtain IP/subnet/gateway addresses automatically from DHCP server. After changing setting from Manual to Auto, the MFP will automatically reboot the network card.

2. IP Address:

The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your machine by your network administrator.

Configuring your machine... > 28

NOTE

1. DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), a host can automatically be given a unique IP address each time it connects to a network-making IP address management an easier task for network administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your network, you do not need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information. Instead, this information will be automatically given for the MFP.

2. IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies a host connection to an IP network. System administrator or network designer assigns the IP address. The IP address consists of two parts, one identifying the network and the one identifying your node. The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.

3. SMTP: (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the main communication protocol used to send and receive e-mail on the Internet.

4. DNS: (Domain Name System). The DNS server identifies hosts via names instead of IP addresses. If the DNS server is available on your network, you can enter the domain name instead of digits for your SMTP or POP3 servers, such as Pegasus.com.tw instead of 120.3.2.23.

5. POP3: POP3 is the Post Office Protocol 3, this is a service that stores and serves e-mails for various client machines that are not connected to the Internet 24 hours a day. E-mails are held in POP3 until you log on.

NTERNET COMMUNICATION FEATURES

Scan to e-mail

The MFP allows you to deliver your scanned document to e-mail addresses on the network. The document is first scanned and converted to a standard PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or XPS file format and then transmitted to remote recipients simultaneously as an email attachment.

When you send an e-mail to someone using this MFP it uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to transfer your outgoing e-mails to your SMTP mail server, and then send these e-mails to your recipients through the

Internet.

Scan to NetworkPC

Via the intranet with FTP (File Transfer Protocol), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), or CIFS (Common Internet File System). The MFP allows you to save scanned documents directly to a designated server or a personal computer on the network in a standard PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or XPS file format.

CIFS is the sharing system of Microsoft Windows. What is unique about this filing function is that it allows all corporate users to share one machine to send documents to each file folder on a designated server or individual computer.

The following settings or destinations must be defined by the system administrator before the MFP can be used to distribute any scanned document(s) on the network.

> Network and E-mail parameters: Defines the parameters for TCP/IP, SMTP, and POP3

protocols to send your scanned document to e-mail addresses.

> Filing destinations: Defines the protocols and destinations to send your scanned

document to FTP servers, web, or any personal computers on the network.

Configuring your machine... > 29

For more information on filing protocols refer to “Explanation of filing protocols” on

page 61.

NOTE

1. If the system administrator has chosen DHCP, then the IP address of TCP/ IP, gateway, subnet mask, and DNS server will be automatically given.

2. When installing the MFP for the first time, it is recommended that the Administrator retain the default system settings. The settings can be customized at a later date, once you are familiar with the operation and functionality.

ONFIGURATION
