N ETWORK C ONFIGURATION
I NTRODUCTION
This User’s Guide explains the functionality of your printer’s built
in 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface.
This network interface supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-
II and SNAP, and can detect those frame types automatically.
The network interface also supports TCP/IP protocols.
The Network Interface Panel, for interconnection and producing
self-diagnostic test and configuration printouts, located at the
rear of the printer.
This section details the network interface specification and
several software utilities.

S PECIFICATION
S ELF - DIAGNOSTIC TEST
With the printer power switched on, press the TEST button
located on the Network Interface Panel (at the rear of the printer)
for more than three seconds and then release. The self-
diagnostic test results and configuration settings are printed.
On the first page of the Network Information that is printed out,
under the heading “General Information” the MAC or Ethernet
Address is given. For example:
MAC Address 00:80:87:D4:FA:00
D EFAULT USER NAME AND PASSWORD
To apply configuration changes using a Web browser, you will be
prompted for a username and password. The username is ‘root’
and the default password is the last six characters of the Ethernet
(MAC) address, e.g. ‘D4FA00’ (any alpha characters must be in
upper case).
You can change the root password to allow you to change
settings and configure the printer through the Web browser. You
can find instructions on how to change the password for the
Network Card Setup sections for Windows or Mac.

A DJUSTING PRINTER SETTINGS
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as
examples only. Network addresses used in your installation must
be generated from your own network.
1. Launch the Web browser and enter the IP Address of the
network interface card in “Address (Location/Position)”
and press the Enter key. You can find the IP Address on
the Self-Diagnostic Test printout. The Printer Web Page is
displayed.
2. To access and adjust printer control settings, such as
printer, network, security and maintenance, click the
Administrator Login button in the left-hand pane.
3. Enter the username, “root” and password as the last six
digits of the MAC address (uppercase).
4. As this is the first time logging into the Printer Web Page,
the Printer Identification (basic setup) page is launched.
You have two options:
• You can enter the printer location, asset number,
administrator name and select “Do not show this page
again”. Click OK to save these details. Allow a few
seconds for the settings to save and the printer to
restart automatically.
• If you do not wish to enter any details, click SKIP.
5. The Printer Web Page with full menu options opens up.
Browse the menu and update information as appropriate.
The following table outlines the menu options for the Printer Web
Page.
NOTE
On the web page you can view printer status, job lists and
links. You can also configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway for the network card. However, to configure printer
settings, you need to log in as “root” and enter the correct
password to be able to configure all items.

U SING SNMP
The printer and network card can be managed via a standard
SNMP management station. The network card supports SNMPv1,
MIB-II and Oki Data Private MIB. To enable correct management
from an SNMP management station, the Oki Data Private MIB
needs to be added to that management station. Please refer to
the SNMP manager documentation for more information on
adding MIBs to SNMP management stations.
You can download the Oki Data Private MIB file from the Oki
Printing Solutions website at www.okiprintingsolutions.com.
Refer to the readme file in the “MIB” folder for further
information.
The printer’s trap address can be set in five places using TCP/IP.
Printer trap settings can be made through the Web browser.
O KI LPR PRINTING UTILITY (W INDOWS ONLY )
The Oki LPR Utility is for Oki printers which support TCP/IP. This
utility allows for the printing of data to printers connected to a
network via TCP/IP. The utility redirects printing data to the LPR
port of the specified IP address.
S YSTEM R EQUIREMENT
Windows XP/2000/Me/98/NT4.0/Windows Server 2003 with TCP/
IP support and Oki printers that support TCP/IP.
The Oki LPR utility requires that the TCP/IP protocol is installed
on your Windows operating system. To install the TCP/IP
protocol, consult your Windows manual.
I NSTALLING THE O KI LPR UTILITY
If you installed the printer driver using the “Install Driver” link on
the product CD, Oki LPR may have already been installed.
However, if you installed the driver using the “Add Printer
wizard”, carry out the following steps:

O VERVIEW
This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network
from various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous
ways of printing from Windows and the exact set-up will vary
depending upon your environment. There are also numerous
versions of Windows, which can be configured as either a client,
server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of
network printing remain the same. Microsoft provides On-line
Help with all of their operating systems and this is a good
reference point for the exact details of each configuration option
within Windows.
The network printer supports TCP/IP protocols that can be used
in conjunction with the Windows operating system.
I NSTALLATION OF TCP/IP PROTOCOL
A number of printing options are available when using TCP/IP for
Windows. The following table lists the options:
The Oki LPR Utility is supplied on the CD-ROM with your printer.
The other methods are built into Windows and displayed as
options when using the Add Printer Wizard.
Although there are some differences in configuration options
between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for
printing using TCP/IP is the same.
1. Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed in
Windows. This can be confirmed by checking the network

settings from within the Control Panel. If TCP/IP has not
been installed refer to the section below Installation of
TCP/IP protocol.
2. If not already configured, a suitable IP address, Subnet
Mask and Gateway address should be configured. If
necessary, refer to Microsoft On-line Help.
3. If your network environment uses domain names, DNS
should be enabled and configured on your system.
However, this step is not essential to enable network
printing.
4. Restart the operating system.

S TARTING THE N ETWORK C ARD S ETUP UTILITY
Once installed, you can launch the Network Card Setup utility by
selecting Start -> Programs -> Okidata -> Network Card Setup.
M ANUALLY CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS
If there is no DHCP protocol to automatically assign IP addresses
to devices on your network, you might want to set the IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address for your
printer manually.
1. In the “Network Card Setup” pane, click to select the
printer.
NOTE
In the “Network Card Setup”, the “IP Acquisition Method” may
display as “Manual”. This is because, when using the TCP/IP
protocol in an environment without a DHCP server, you must
assign the IP address manually. For instructions on how to do
this, see “Manually configuring the IP address” on page 19.

Windows> 20
2. Click the Setting Printer icon. The Setting Printer dialog
appears.
3. Select “Manual”. In the Details section, you can now edit
the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
Address.
