4.2 Setting/Changing SMB Using the
[Config.txt] File
You can change the SMB setting by accessing the setting file (config.txt) in the printer
through the Windows network from the computer. However, only the administrator is
allowed to do this.
The procedure below explains how to overwrite the [config.txt] file.You will need to know the
following items that have been set: SMB Host Name, Workgroup, Administrator Name, and
Administrator Password. The procedure here explains with Windows XP as an example.
1. Open [My Network Places] from the Windows computer, followed by [Workgroup]
(default: [Workgroup]) and then the printer.
Note
• The factory default of the host name of the printer is “OKI-xxxxxx” (where xxxxxx is the last six
characters of the printer MAC address). You can confirm the name by referring to SMB Host Name on
the [System Settings List].
Important
• This method does not enable printer search across subnets. For printer search across subnets, you
should set the WINS server or edit LMHOSTS. For details about LMHOSTS, refer to the Windows
manual.
2. Click the [admintool] folder.
The [Connect to Oki-xxxxxx] dialog box will be displayed.
3. For Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me, enter only the password (SMB
Administrator Password) and for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/
Windows Server 2003, enter the user name (SMB Administrator Name) and password
(SMB Administrator Password).
Then, click [OK].
