install the printer drivers on the PC.
If there are no DHCP or BOOTP servers on the
network, it is necessary to set the IP address on
the PC and device manually.
Further, it is also necessary to set the IP address
in the PC and device manually if instructed to
set a specific IP address determined by the in-
house network administrator, provider, or router
manufacturer.

Usable Paper Types
For high-quality printing it is necessary to use paper that satisfies conditions regarding quality,
thickness, paper finish, etc. If printing on paper not recommended by OKI, thoroughly test the print
quality and paper traveling performance, etc., and check that there are no impediments before use.
If using a (paper) medium that is curled or wrinkled before printing, print quality and paper traveling
performance cannot be assured.
