OKI 430dn Benutzerhandbuch

Operation > 38

This chapter provides a broad outline of how to operate your printer from either a Windows 

or a Macintosh environment. In the former, while PCL emulation is available on all printer 

models, PS emulation is available on the B430dn models.

The operator panel controlled menus and Printer Menu Setup Tool (described in the chapter 

entitled “Operator panels”) provide access to many options.
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where items in 

the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel and Printer Menu Setup Tool

 

menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver 

will override those settings in the operator panel and Printer Menu Setup Tool

 

menus.

When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a Print 

dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies the name of the printer on which you 

will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.
When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a short list of the printer 

settings available in the driver, which you can choose for this document. The settings 

available from within your application are only those which you may want to change for 

specific applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only last for as 

long as the particular application program is running.

The tabs available are the Setup Tab, the Job Options Tab and the Image Tab.
