1. Turn OFF the printer’s power switch
In the case that the network used includes a router
and a server, start the router and the server and only
then turn ON the printer’s power switch. If the
printer’s power switch is turned ON before the router
and the server, the network may not function normally.
2. Insert the twisted pair cable into the Fast EtherNet connector.
3. Insert the other end of the twisted pair cable into the hub/
switch wall socket.
4. Turn ON the printer’s power switch.

Verification of the “print menu”of the printer
In order to use the Fast EtherNet, the Fast EtherNet settings must
first be verified. You can verify these settings by using the
“print menu” of the printer.
The method of menu printing differs from one printer
to another. For details refer to the your printer’s
user manual.
Inthe followingexplanation,OKIPAGE 8c is used asan example.
1. Press , the printer switches to “Online”.
2. Holddown “print menu””for more than2 seconds, theprinter
switches to “menu printing”
Menu printing begins.
3. After the menu printing is completed, press , the

Functions of the DIP Switches
By using the DIP Switches of the Fast EtherNet, initialization of
the Fast EtherNet, verification of its settings and the self-
diagnosis test can be performed.
Initialization of the Fast EtherNet
1. Turn the printer’s power switch OFF.
2. Turn DIP Switch No. 2 ON.
3. Turn the printer’s power switch ON.
The Fast EtherNet is initialized.
4. Make sure that the printer is fully operative and turn the
printer’s power switch OFF.
5. Turn DIP Switch No. 2 OFF.
If the Fast EtherNet was used even once with a
different network, it has to be initialized before it
can be used.
During normal operation, all the DIP Switches should
be switched OFF. In order to change the settings of
the DIP Switches, turn the printer’s power switch
OFF. DIP Switch No. 1 is normally OFF.

Printing fromWindows 95/98
In order to print fromWindows 95/98 viaTCP/IP, it is necessary
to set up the Fast EtherNet and Windows 95/98. Windows 95/
98 does not include a LPR printing function, so you must use
the OKI LPR utility. This utility can be found on the
accompanying CDROM.
OKI LPR Utility Operating Environment
• A computer which runs Windows 95/98 and which has a
network adapter supporting TCP/IP.
• A compatible printer such as;
• OKIPAGE 16n
• OKIPAGE 20series
• OKIPAGE 24series
• OKIPAGE 8c
• OKIPAGE8c+
The operation of this LPR utility cannot be guaranteed
with any printer other than those specified above..
ConfiguringWindows98/95
Install “TCP/IP” protocol in Windows98/95 and configure the
IP address, subnet and gateway.
If you type in a wrong IP address, the network may go
down or other severe damage may occur. Make sure
to check with the network manager and to determine
the appropriate address.
In the case that a small-scale LAN is included, such as a network
connecting one printer and one computer, refer to Page 22 for
the settings.
In the following explanation, Window98 is used as an example.
The screen display and part of the contents of the selected
directory maydiffer, depending onthe OSversionand thesystem
structure.
Please have ready the “Windows98/95 System Software CD-
ROM”.
