> Directly connected (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
(Client Server)
Why use the Oki Driver Installer?
> Automatically discovers printers on the Network (TCP/
IP)
> Installs driver and correctly assigns the appropriate
port and IP address
> Allows easy configuration and sharing of the printer
with other Network users
> Automatically configures the printer driver with the
appropriate hardware device options such as hard disc
drive, duplex unit etc (via the Oki Network Extension
software)
