Before using the printer, the printer software drivers must be
installed. The software is on the CD-ROM included
with your printer.
Installation instructions are included for printers connected to
computers by a USB cable or a parallel cable. Oki Data
recommends using a USB connection, as your printer is
performance optimized for a USB interface.
