Overview
Your printer comes with drivers for both Postscript (PS) and
PCL emulation. To set up the printer as a PostScript or PCL
printer, you must install the PostScript or PCL driver. Note: The
MAC Installer will install only the PostScript driver.
You must also configure either a local connection for printing
directly to your printer or a network connection for printing
over a network.
Select a printer driver in Windows
Select a driver appropriate for your application.
PostScript printer driver
If you use PostScript fonts, or you will be printing PostScript
graphics, choose this driver. Performance is faster and graphics
print at their best quality.
PCL printer driver
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript
(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose this driver. This is
more efficient and gives good results.
You can install both drivers and use either one depending on
your application. However, each driver must be installed
individually.
NOTE
For the most recent printer driver version, see our web site:
http://my.okidata.com
CAUTION!
Do not connect this product to an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). For further information
please contact Oki Data at 1-800-OKIDATA or
www.okidata.com.
Be sure to use the 15A AC power cord supplied
with the printer. Use of a power cord NOT supplied
with this printer, or an extension cord, may result
in overheating, and could be a safety hazard.
