This section of the guide is for administrators and it should be read in conjunction with the
relevant Mac OS X manual. Please ensure your Mac has the latest OS X updates installed.
To get the best results from your printer, install the Postscript Printer Description (PPD) file
supplied with your printer and use this to customise the Apple PostScript driver that is built
in to the OS X. Features provided by the PPD file include:
> Supported paper types
> Paper trays
> Printer resolution
> Printer colour matching
NOTE
The PPD file must be installed using the Oki Driver Installer to ensure that all
essential files are copied.

ETTING UP A NETWORK PRINTER
1. If the printer does not already have an IP address, use the Printer Setup Utility to
assign an IP address.
To do this, you will need to know the printer's MAC address. This can be found on the
print server's network summary printout.
2. Install the printer driver software. This copies the printer driver files to the correct
location on your Mac OS X system.
3. Make a connection to the printer by USB, TCP/IP, Rendezvous or AppleTalk.
"Connecting to your printer" on page 43.
4. If required, enable hardware device options such as additional paper trays or a
storage device.
