Using Storage Device Manager: General Information • 4
Using Storage Device Manager
Important!
The Flash DIMM option kits allow downloading PCL
fonts and forms to the printer. How these fonts and
forms are used in printed documents depends on the
particular operating system and software application in
use. This requires programming experience and an
understanding of embedding control codes, which is
beyond the scope of this software and documentation.
General Information
Note: Storage Device Manager requires Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to run.
Storage Device Manager (SDM) provides a means of
managing the Flash memory, including
• downloading PCL fonts and forms
• deleting files
• printing lists of fonts and files on the Flash Memory
•etc.
To Open Storage Device
Manager
1. Click Start →Programs →Okidata →Oki
Storage Device Manager →Oki Storage Device
Manager.
2. Select the appropriate printer connection (parallel,
USB, or IP), then click Start.
The printer is detected and an icon appears at the
bottom of the Storage Device Manager screen.
3. Click Exit.
On-Line Help
In the main Storage Device Manager screen, click
Help →Help Topics.

Using Storage Device Manager: Network Operation • 5
Network Operation
On network systems, the Administrator oversees the
Storage Device Manager software and can use it to
manage and monitor the printer’s flash memory.
Administrator Functions
• Set up/change the Administrator’s Password.
• Enter 4-digit PIN numbers for each client, using any
four numbers from 0 through 9.
Note: If preferred, clients can choose their own PIN
number and pass it to the administrator for
entry into the software.
• Re-Initialize the printer.
• Delete files (using Printers →Show Resources is
preferable).
Note: Show Resources is preferable because it
permits you to browse to the file, click it and
click Delete, then click OK to confirm the
deletion.
Using Administrator Functions to delete a file
requires that you print out a File List, then use
the information in the File List to type in the
exact path (case sensitive) to the file. The file is
then deleted without confirmation.
Setting Up the Administrator’s
Password
Important!
The Administrator’s Password consists of eight digits—
letters or numbers—and is case sensitive.
With Storage Device Manager open and the printer icon
highlighted:
1. Click Printers →Administrator Functions.
2. Type in the default password (p1xs7d0m) under
Enter Password, then click Change Password.
Note: The default password can also be found in the
on-line Help under the topic “Administrator’s
Password Required.”
3. Type the eight-digit, alpha-numeric password of your
choice under New Password, then type it again under
Confirm New Password.
New Password Accepted appears.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Exit twice.

Using Storage Device Manager: Storing Fonts • 6

You can download either True Type fonts (file extension
.ttf) or PCL bitmap fonts (file extension .sfp).
Downloading Fonts
With Storage Device Manager open and the printer icon
highlighted:
1. Click Projects →New Project.
The Project dialog box opens.
2. Click Projects →Add File to Project.
3. Browse to the folder on your computer containing the
ttf/sfp file(s), click the file(s) to be added, then click
Open.
The selected files appear in the Component column.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each different folder
containing files to be added.
5. Network Printers Only: Double click each file
(Component) in the project and change the Volume
from 0 to 1, then click OK.
6. For individual printers, Click Projects →Send
Project Files to Printer.

printers, select “Send Project to File,” then use
the PrintSupervision utility supplied with the
printer to distribute the file to all printers on
your network.
7. Click OK.
Using Downloaded Fonts
To use the downloaded fonts, you must embed them in
your file or application using escape codes.
The appropriate escape code for each font can be
found in the Font List printout. To print out the Font List
(see page 10 for more information on the Font List):
1. Click Printers →Print PCL Fonts.
2. Click OK.

Using Storage Device Manager: Storing PCL Macros • 7
Storing PCL Macros
Storage Device Manager allows you to store PCL
Macros on the printer’s Flash Memory. It does not
create PCL Macros.
Note: To create Macro Overlays, use common PCL
Macro Overlay software or form creation
software.
To see a listing of the forms that are stored on the Flash
DIMM, generate a File List (see page 10).
Downloading PCL Macros to the Printer
Important!
It is highly recommended that anyone creating PCL
macros be experienced with PCL macro commands. If
the macro commands are not set properly, you may not
achieve the desired print result.
Step 1: Create a New Project
With Storage Device Manager open and the printer icon
highlighted:
1. Click Projects →New Project.
The Project dialog box opens.
2. Click Projects →Save Project, then enter the path/
name for storing the project on your computer’s hard
drive or on your network.
3. Click Save.

either My Computer or Microsoft Explorer,
browsing to the directory where the .bin files are
stored, then selecting the files and dragging them
in to the project.
1. Click Projects →Add File to Project.
The Open dialog box appears.
2. Highlight the .bin file you wish to add and click Open.
The file name appears in the Project dialog box.
