Installing Drivers and Utilities

Your machine is supplied with the following drivers:

TWAIN driver (only use when connecting to the unit via USB)

Printer driver: PCL5c, PCL 6, PostScript3

Fax driver

NOTE

Mac OS X uses the PostScript3 driver only.

NOTE

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

Twain and Printer Drivers

The TWAIN driver is used for “Pull Scanning”, i.e. initiating a scan from your PC via software. Compare this to “Push Scanning” where you start the scan by pressing a button on the unit's front panel. The TWAIN driver only works via USB connections to a Windows PC. This means it's not possible to control the scanner from a Mac or over a network.

There are two different ways of installing the TWAIN and printer drivers:

1.Not plugging the printer in yet, but running the Oki driver installer program from the CD-ROM. This installs the TWAIN (scanner printer driver) and printer drivers. Once the printer is switched on and plugged in, the installation is complete. See your Software Install Guide for more information.

1.Plugging the printer in first and performing a “Plug and play” type of installation. In this case you must install the TWAIN driver first.

Fax Driver

The fax printer driver allows you to send faxes directly from your computer without printing the document first. With the fax driver you are sending the fax data from your computer to the unit, and then the unit automatically sends the document.

Installing the Fax Printer Driver

This is installed as part of the Oki driver installer wizard.
