OKI Printer Setup Issue


Setting up an OKI printer can be a little tricky for beginners. You may not know how to set it up on a computer device correctly. To print seamlessly through your OKI printer, you need to set it up using the right methods. If you have been struggling with the OKI printer setup, we will help you do it the right way. 

What Do You Need to Set Up an OKI Printer? 

  • Windows computer 
  • Stable internet connection
  • Power cable 
  • USB cord 
  • A power socket near the printer 

Ensure that you unpack your printer before proceeding with the setup steps. 

Method 1: USB Connection 

This is a wired connection, a basic connection for setting up an OKI printer. You get a USB cable inside your printer’s box. So, you don’t have to buy one. Now, let’s see how to connect it. 

 

  1. First of all, connect the first end of the USB cable to your computer in its USB port. It's available on the CPU of a PC. On a laptop, it's available on the sides. 
  2. Then, connect the second end of the USB cable to the printer’s USB port. 
  3. Now, turn on the devices by turning on the power switch. 

You’re ready to print with your OKI printer now. However, if you want to connect your printer via Wi-Fi, check out the next method. 

Method 2: Wi-Fi Connection 

If you prefer wireless printing, you can connect an OKI printer to your computer via Wi-Fi very easily. Check out the steps below to do that. 

Step 1: Locate the Wireless Settings

  1. First, ensure that your OKI printer is turned on. 
  2. Then, go to the Menu button on the printer’s screen. You will see the Menu written on that button, or it will be just three horizontal lines. 
  3. Now, use the up and down arrows to move through the Menu. If you have a touchscreen, you can just tap it. Go to the Network Settings or Wireless Settings. 
  4. Next, select the Wireless/Wireless LAN settings option. 
  5. Then, select the Wireless Setup Wizard option. 

Step 2: Select Your Wireless Network

  1. After following the steps above, your printer will show a list of wireless networks. Select one by scrolling through the list. 
  2. Once you select a wireless network, click OK or press Enter on the printer’s Control Panel. 

Note: The Network name is also called the SSID. So, if you see this option, don’t get confused. 

Step 3: Enter the Network Password

  1. Find the SSID name and password on your Wi-Fi router. Note it down. 
  2. When asked to enter it on the printer, simply enter it with the digital keyboard or using the buttons on the printer (if it is without a touchscreen). 
  3. Finally, click OK or press Enter. 

Now, you can send a test print to the printer and check if the printer is working fine.

FAQs

Where Do I Find the Password for My Wireless Network?

You can locate the password for the wireless network on the label of your Wi-Fi router. You will see all the information about a wireless network, including the SSID name and password. When you enter these details in your printer, it will connect to the wireless network.

Check out the steps below to get the printer drivers for the OKI printer: 


  1. First of all, visit oki.com on an internet browser. 

  2. Then, hover your mouse pointer on the Support tab at the top and select the Drivers & Utilities option.

  3. Select the printer name, and then click the printer model name. 

  4. Now, select your operating system on the next screen. 

  5. After that, scroll down to find the printer driver packages. Click the Download Here button to begin downloading. 

  6. After that, install them on your computer.

To connect this printer to an Ethernet connection: 


  1. Start by turning off the printer from the power switch. 

  2. Then, take an Ethernet cable and connect it to your printer’s LAN/Ethernet port. 

  3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Wi-Fi router or modem. 

  4. Finally, turn on the printer from the main power switch.
