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
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.
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.
