MAC OS X OVERVIEW 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 color matching NOTE The PPD file must be installed using the Oki Driver Installer to ensure that all essential files are copied. SETTING 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. See "The printer setup utility interface" on page 37. 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. See "Configuration settings" on page 7. 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. See "Connecting to your printer" on page 43. 4. If required, enable hardware device options such as additional paper trays. See "Configuring printer hardware options" on page 47. PRINTER SETUP UTILITY The Printer Setup Utility is a powerful MacOS-based utility for configuring all print server functions using a graphical user interface. INSTALLING THE PRINTER SETUP UTILITY 1. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2. Open the Printer Setup Utility folder and double-click Installer. Mac OS X > 36
