Installing Drivers and Utilities
Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:
• TWAIN driver (only use when connecting to the unit via USB)
• Printer driver: PCL5c, PCL 6, PostScript3
•Fax driver
Twain and Printer Drivers
The TWAIN driver is used for “Pull Scanning”,  i.e. initiating a scan from your PC via 
software. Compare this to “Push Scanning” wh ere you start the scan by pressing a button 
on the units front panel. The TWAIN driver  only works via USB connections to a Windows 
PC. This means its not possible to contro l the scanner from a Mac or over a network.
There are two different ways of inst alling the TWAIN and printer drivers:
1. Not plugging the printer in yet, but running the Oki driver installer program from the 
CD-ROM. This installs the TWAIN (scanner  printer driver) and printer drivers. Once 
the printer is switched on and plugged in , the installation is complete. See your 
Software Install Guide for more information. 
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.
Fax Driver
The fax printer 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 unit, and then the unit  automatically sends the document.
Installing the Fax Printer Driver
This is installed as part of the Oki driver installer wizard.
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.

Paper Recommendations
Your unit will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, 
transparencies and envelopes. This section prov ides general advice on choice of media, and 
explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when us ing standard 20 to 24 lb. US Bond (75 to 90 
g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and lase r printers. Use of heavily embossed or very 
rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the in k 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 unit . Window envelopes are not suitable.
Transparencies should be of the type design ed for use in copiers and laser printers. We 
strongly recommend Oki transparencies (Ord er No. 52205701). 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 recommen ded for use in copiers and laser printers, in 
which the base carrier page is entirely cove red 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 type 5161 (Letter) or types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4).
Cassette Trays 
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 unit sw itch 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 Paper 
Setup menu (See “Paper Setup” on page 30).
If fitted, tray 2 (or 3) may be removed and re plenished while the machine is being fed from 
tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while the ma chine is being fed from tray 2 (or 3) because 
parts of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2 (or 3).
