INSTALLER
The Oki driver installer program searches for compatible printers
on the network and installs and configures the printer drivers
with the correct port settings automatically.
Using the Oki driver installer program, you can install to the
following connected printer types:
1. Locally connected printers
> USB port
> Parallel port
2. Networked printers
> Directly connected (i.e. Peer-to-peer) printers via TCP/
IP
The Microsoft Standard TCP/IP is installed and configured
to use Port 9100 with the printer’s IP address.
> Printers not directly connected, but shared via a PC
(i.e. Client-Server)
Choose between Windows shares or Netware will only be
shown if netware printer detected).
