SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER > 26P RINTER DRIVERSPrinter drivers enable your computer to communicate with the printer.As with most printer manufacturers, Oki creates printer drivers for usewith popular types of software, such as Microsoft Windows operatingsystems, from Windows 95 onwards. Installing a printer driver isnormally a simple process of making a selection within the software.If a driver is not available by name for your printer, contact thesoftware manufacturer and ask if they can supply an updated versionof their software with additional drivers. Alternatively, check thedriver availability on the Oki Europe Web Site at:www.okieurope.comIf you are using bespoke software or software created specifically foryour company, it is unlikely that the CDs supplied with this softwarewill include drivers for your printer. In this instance you will have tochoose a driver as closely compatible as possible. Compatible driverscontain printing codes that will operate your printer. They may notoffer the special features of an original driver, but they will allow youto perform normal printing tasks.Oki’s printers contain more than one printer emulation selectable viathe menu system. See the table below for compatible drivers.However, please note that the emulations listed toward the bottom ofthis list are more basic and offer fewer of the printer’s features.MicrolineEmulationIBM Emulation Epson LQ EmulationML280 Microline ML280 IBM ML280 EpsonIBM Graphics Printer Epson FX80Epson FX
