Installing Drivers and Utilities
Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:
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 MFP is a “dual device” - Windows sees it as a scanner and a printer. Therefore,
you must install two different drivers; the TWAIN (scanner) driver and the printer
driver.
The installation instructions below refer to USB connection. For network connection
details refer to the Setup/Reference 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: Installing the Twain (Scanner) Driver and
Printer Drivers
TWAIN Driver: Pull versus Push Scanning
Pull Scanning = initiating a scan from your computer via software.
Push Scanning: initiating a scan by pressing a button on the MFP’s front panel
The TWAIN driver is used for “Pull Scanning”l. The TWAIN driver only works via USB
connections. This means it's not possible to control the scanner over the network from
your computer.
Installing the Drivers
There are two ways of installing the drivers:
20 • Getting Started
Page 21
• Oki Driver Installer Program (recommended method)
• Plug and Play (USB only)

Notes
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 latest 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.
Internet 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 or
TIFF file format and then transmitted to remote recipients simultaneously as an
e-mail 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
sends these e-mails to your recipients through the internet.

Scan to NetworkPC
Via the intranet with FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or CIFS (Common Internet File
System). The MFP allows you to save scanned documents directly to a designated
server or to a personal computer on the network in a standard PDF, JPEG, or TIFF 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.
42•Configuring your machine
Page 43
• Filing destinations: Defines the protocols and destinations to send your scanned
document to FTP servers or any personal computers on the network.
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.

Access Control ___________________
The operation and functionality of this machine can be limited to authorized
personnel only by the simple introduction of a 4 to 9 digit PIN (Personal
Identification Number). This is known as Access Control. The greater the number
of digits in the PIN - the more secure it is.
Your MFP supports the following PIN types:
• Administrator PIN; This is the PIN for the system administrator(s).
If a PIN is registered as an administrator, the Admin password entry screen is
displayed, and when an Admin password is entered, it will be authenticated as
an administrator.
• User PIN; This is PIN for general users.
If a PIN is registered as a general user, the function selection screen is
displayed, also after PIN entry, the function selection screen is displayed.
After using the machine, you will be expected to log out. Leaving the machine in
access control mode will render the machine not usable by unauthorised users.
Enabling Access Control
Access Control Enable/Disable is switched in Menu > Admin Setup > System Setup
> Access Control.
If your administrator has enabled access control on your machine, it will
automatically start up in access control mode. You will not be able to use it until
you have provided valid login information.
With Access Control set to enable, the display reverts to the System Setup screen
immediately following the setting change. If one of the functions such as Print, Fax
Send or PC Scan is running, the display will only revert to the System Setup screen
when the task has been completed.
Logging in
1. If the Enter PINscreen is displayed, use the keypad to enter your PIN.
2. Press Enter (or the Start button) to confirm.
Note
A valid PIN consists of 4 to 9 digits.
Numbers entered are not displayed on-screen, they are replaced by
“*”.
If the PIN entered in invalid, “Incorrect Password” is dispalyed for 3
seconds and the display reverts to the Enter the PIN screen.
3. At the Enter Password screen, use the on-screen keypad to enter your
password.

Printer Settings in Windows________
Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where
items in the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel menus, and
you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will
override those settings in the operator panel menus.
Printing preferences in Windows applications
When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a
Print dialog box appears. This dialog usually specifies the name of the printer on
which you will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties
button.
When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a short list of the
printer settings available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.
The settings available from within your application are only those which you may
want to change for specific applications or documents. Settings you change here
will usually only last for as long as the particular application program is running.

wish to scale the printout to fit another size), and should also be the same as
the size of paper you will feed into the printer.
2. You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the
standard paper tray), Multi Purpose Tray, or Tray 2 (if you have the optional
second paper tray installed). You can also click on the appropriate part of the
screen graphic to select your preferred tray.
3. A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such as normal one
page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be 2 or 4) for printing scaled down
pages at more than one page per sheet.
4. Under 2-sided Printing, you can choose from auto or manual. Under manual 2-
sided Printing you can choose to print on one side of a sheet only or to use 2sided printing (duplex printing). Your printer allows you to carry out manual
duplex printing, meaning you must pass the paper through the printer twice.
For more information, see “2-sided (duplex) printing” on page 108. The Duplex
Help button also offers guidelines on how to carry out manual duplex printing.

1. The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows.
• The ProQ1200 setting for Xxxxxn prints at 600 X 2400dpi. This setting
requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. Your
printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery. It is the
best option for printing photographs.
• The High Quality setting prints at 600 X 1200dpi for Xxxxxn and 1200 x
1200dpi for Xxxxxdn and Xxxxxdtn is the best option for printing vector
objects such as graphics and text.
• The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is suitable for most printing
jobs.
• The Draft setting prints at 300 x 300dpi and is suitable for printing draft
documents that contain mainly text. You can select Toner Saving to save
toner for some print jobs.
2. Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or landscape (wide). Both
views can be rotated by 180 degrees.

on how to carry out manual duplex printing.
4. In Raster (bitmap) mode, processing of the page image is done in the
computer leaving little processing for the printer to do, although the file size
may be large. In Vector mode, file sizes may be smaller and so transmission
over a network, for example, may be faster. These effects are more
pronounced for graphics printing than for text printing.

1. Dithering produces an intermediate greyscale by adjusting the combination of
dots used in printing. Selecting a setting determines the degree of detail with
which a graphics image will be printed. Mesh determines that a screen of dots
is used for dithering while Line Art determines that an array of lines is used for
dithering.
2. Select dithering texture by setting the size of dots used in the halftone screen.
3. Set this control to print greyscale effects in black without dithering. Select the
check-box to disable greyscale printing or de-select the check-box to enable
greyscale printing.
4. You can manually adjust lightness (the higher the setting the lighter the print)
and contrast (the higher the setting the greater the contrast).
5. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

Setting from Windows control panel
When you open the driver properties window directly from Windows, rather than
from within an application program, a somewhat more extensive range of settings
is provided. Changes made here will generally affect all documents you print from
Windows applications, and will be remembered from one Windows session to the
next.

items.
2. This button opens the same windows as described earlier for items which can
be set from within application programs. Changes you make here, however,
will become the new default settings for all Windows applications.
3. This button prints a test page to ensure that your printer is working.

1. You can specify which times of day your printer will be available.
2. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority
documents will print first.
3. Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file)
before being printed. The document is then printed in the background,
allowing your application program to become available more quickly. Options
follow:
This specifies that printing should not start until the last page has been spooled.
If your application program needs a lot of time for further computation in the
middle of printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a short period,
the printer could prematurely assume that the document has finished. Selecting
this option would prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a little
later, as the start is delayed.
This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts as soon as possible
after the document begins spooling.
4. This specifies that the document should not be spooled, but printed directly.
Your application will not normally be ready for further use until the print job is
complete. This requires less disk space on your computer, since there is no
spool file.
