> If you are connecting your printer directly to a stand alone computer proceed to the Chapter headed “Printer Drivers”. > If your printer is to be installed as a network printer, please refer to the relevant section in the Network Guide for further details on how to configure the network connection, before installing the printer drivers.
CD1 contains the printer drivers. Please refer to the readme file on this CD for the latest information on printer driver installation. Built into the Oki driver is a special Ask Oki tab. If you have Internet access from your computer this tab provides access to a wealth of help and support specific to your printer in a specially designed web page available in a wide range of languages.
printing, poster printing, overlay and watermark features are only available when using the supplied PCL 5c driver. NSTALLING A PRINTER DRIVER With Windows running, insert the printer driver CD-ROM (CD1) into your CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not run automatically, use [Start]-[Run...] and enter E:\setup (where E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open field.
RINTER DRIVER NETWORK EXTENSION Available on TCP/IP network connection only. The printer driver network extension facility is only available if your printer has been installed using the driver installer program on the drivers CD. On selecting [Get Printer Settings], it queries the printer driver for the installed hardware options and enables the appropriate settings.
NSTALLED OPTIONS This section explains how to adjust the printer driver settings to take advantage of any installed optional hardware. Installed printer drivers appear in the “Printers” window of your computer. This window can normally be opened via the Start menu or from the Windows Control Panel.
Memory installed in the printer. NOTE The Memory button in the Windows 98 PS driver is provided to allow the amount of available PostScript memory and font cache size to be adjusted. The driver automatically adjusts these values when the installed memory size is set, and they should not normally need further adjustment.
ETTING MEDIA DEFAULTS WITH THE DRIVER Windows XP/2000 Windows 98 Choose the paper size you will print on. Choose which tray you wish to feed from. You can also select a tray by clicking on it in the graphic image. Select the type of media you will print on.
ETTING MEDIA DEFAULTS WITH THE CRIPT DRIVER Windows XP/2000 Windows 98 Choose which tray you want to feed paper from. Choose whether you want to print your document in black and white or colour. In the Advanced dialogue, choose the paper size in the selected tray.
OLOUR PRINTING The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your C7350 provide several controls for changing the colour output of your printer. For general use the Auto settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents.

Printer driver colour settings The driver settings for Manual colour can change the appearance of a print. There are several options available to help match the printed colours with those displayed onscreen.
Typically CMYK documents are only supported in professional Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications. ATCHING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES RGB only Oki Colour Matching is a generally a good choice. Select a matching method appropriate to your monitor. RGB or CMYK If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor.
Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC- Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space) (PS only).
OLOUR MATCHING WITH THE DRIVER The Colour Matching options in the PCL driver are designed to work with RGB data, and are suited to most general office applications. > In the Printers window, right-click on the appropriate printer icon and choose Printing Preferences (Windows XP/2000) or Properties (Windows 98), then select the Colour tab.
SING THE COLOUR SWATCH The Print Colour Swatch function allows you to print out charts that contain a range of sample colours. Listed below each sample colour are the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to choose your own RGB values.

To install these files and associate them with the printer driver: > Right-click the appropriate printer icon in the Printers window, and choose Properties from the pop-up menu. Click the Add… button and navigate to the Profiles directory on the CD. Navigate down to the subdirectory for your version of Windows.
The table below summarises the various colour-matching options available in the PostScript driver, and what types of data they affect. COLOUR MATCHING OPTION RGB DATA CMYK DATA Oki Colour Matching PostScript Colour Matching CMYK Ink Simulation Windows ICM Matching Using ICC Profiles Not Windows NT 4...
sRGB Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company logo colour. The colours within the printer's colour gamut are printed without any modification, and only colours that fall outside the printable colours are modified. CRIPT COLOUR MATCHING This uses PostScript Colour Rendering Dictionaries built-in to the printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.
The way in which this conversion is performed can be controlled via the ICM Intent control in the printer driver. NOTE Oki also provides an alternative to Windows ICM with the Colour Match using ICC Profiles feature. This is similar to Windows ICM, but offers several additional features.
SING PROFILES This method affects RGB data only. Using ICC profiles provides a method of matching RGB colours similar to Windows ICM matching. The main advantage it has over Windows ICM colour matching is that it provides a means of using both input and output profiles.
Choose an input profile that matches your image source device. Choose an output profile for your printer. Choose a rendering style (see “rendering intents” under “PostScript Colour Matching” earlier). Choose a meaningful name for these settings. This will allow you to recall them whenever you need them. Click OK to save your settings.
PERATION The earlier section on Printer Drivers explained how to set up the default operation of the various features. These were accessed via the Windows program. This section explains how to change the printer’s operation for specific print jobs when required. This involves using the same Properties page of the printer driver, but it is accessed directly from within your Windows application program.
