OKI MB290MFP - Location conditions - 1

Make sure to place the machine in well ventilated premises. When in operation, the printer generates a small amount of ozone. An unpleasant smell can come from the printer if it is used intensively in poorly ventilated premises. For a secure use, make sure you place the machine in well ventilated premises.

Cautions of use

Take into account the important precautions below when using the machine.

Running environment:

  • Temperature: 10^ to 27^ [50 °F to 80.6 °F] with an ambient humidity included between 15 to 80% (up to 32^ [89.6 °F] with an ambient humidity included between 15 to 54%).

Terminal:

The section below describes the precautions to be taken when using the machine:

  • Never turn the machine off and never open the lids while printing.
  • Never use gas or flammable liquids, or objects generating magnetic field close to the machine.
  • When you unplug the power cord, always hold the connector without pulling the cord. A damaged cord presents a potential fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
  • Never touch the power cord with wet hands. You risk getting an electric shock.
  • Always unplug the power cord before moving the machine. Otherwise, you could risk having the cord damaged and create a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
  • Always unplug the power cord when you plan not to use the machine for a long period of time.
  • Never put objects on the power cord, never pull it and never fold it. This could cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
  • Always make sure that the machine is not sitting on the power cord or any other electric device communication cables. Make sure also that neither cord nor cable is introduced to the machine inner mechanism. This would expose you to a machine malfunction risk or to a fire hazard.
  • Make sure that the printer is unplugged from the power outlet before connecting or disconnecting an interface cable to the printer (use a shielded interface cable).
  • Never try to remove any fixed pane or hood. The machine contains high voltage circuits. Any contact with these circuits can cause an electric shock risk.

  • Never try to modify the machine. This could cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.

  • Always make sure that paper clips, staples or other small metallic items do not get inside the machine via the ventilation ports or other ports. Such items create fire hazards or electric shock hazards.
  • Prevent water and any other liquid from spilling on the machine or near to it. Any contact of the machine with water or liquid can cause a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
  • If liquid or metallic item gets accidentally inside the machine, turn it off immediately, unplug the power cord and contact your retailer. Otherwise, you will face a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
  • In case of heat, smoke, unusual smell or abnormal noise emissions, turn the machine off, unplug the power cord immediately and contact your retailer. Otherwise, you will face a fire hazard or an electric shock hazard.
  • Avoid using the machine during an "electric storm", this can cause an electric shock hazard due to lightning.
  • Never move the terminal during printing.
  • Always lift the terminal when you wish to move it.

Relay broadcast

Your fax machine (initiator) can relay a document, in other words, transmit a document to your subscribers via a remote fax and with a precise relay list.

To do this the initiator fax and the remote fax must both have the relay function.

To relay you need to supply the remote fax with the document and the relay list number. The remote fax will then transmit this document to all subscribers on the list.

Once the relay is activated by your fax and as soon as the document is received by the remote fax, the document is printed before relaying to all subscribers on the list.

To activate relay from your fax machine:

1 Insert the document to relay.

OKI MB290MFP - Relay broadcast - 1

Important

Make sure that the document in the feeder tray or on the scanner window is properly located in order to avoid sending blank or incorrect pages.

2 Select 37 - FAX/BROADCAST.
3 Enter the remote fax number where you will relay to or choose your dialling mode and press OK.
4 Enter the relay list number used by the remote fax and press OK.
5 You may enter the time you wish to transmit the document next to the current time and press OK.
6 If you wish to modify the document feed type, select one of the options FEEDER or MEMORY, then press OK.
7 If you wish, you may enter the number of pages of your documents before transmitting.
8 Activate relay by pressing
9 If you are using the flatbed scanner, you can scan more than one page. Place the next page on the scanner, select NEXT and confirm with OK. Select DONE when all pages have been scanned.

The document in the feeder will be relayed either immediately or at a later time (according to your choice) to the remote fax which will relay the document.

MailBoxes (MBX Fax)

There are 32 mailboxes (MBX), enabling you to transmit documents in complete confidence using an access code (named MBX code), to all subscribers equipped with a fax compatible to yours.

MBX 00 is public. It is handled directly by the terminal to record the messages of the fax TAD as soon as this is put into service.

MBX's 01 to 31 are private. Each is password-protected. They can be used to receive documents confidentially.

The use and access to MBX 01 - 31 are conditioned by the initialisation, defined by a MBX code (if needed) and a mnemonic (its S.I.D.).

Later you may:

  • modify the features of an MBX,
  • print the contents of an MBX, only possible if the MBX contains one or more documents (with a star next to the MBX). When the contents of an MBX have been printed it becomes empty,
  • delete an MBX, only if the MBX is initialised and empty,
  • print the list of your fax machine's MBX's.

You may receive and send through an MBX in complete confidentiality.

When depositing a document into your MBX, the access code is not needed. All documents deposited in a MBX are added to the ones already present.

In polling, the MBX's are only accessible with an MBX code.

You may perform MBX deposits or polls by:

  • depositing a document in a fax MBX,
  • transmitting to deposit a document in a remote fax MBX,
    performing document poll from a remote fax.

Importing a directory

You can import an existing directory of contacts into your multifunction machine as an electronic file. This file must be in a specific format and must not comprise more than 500 entries.

The process of importing a directory uses electronic mail as the transfer mechanism. The electronic file containing the directory is received and processed as an e-mail attachment.

OKI MB290MFP - Importing a directory - 1

Important

Importing a new directory completely overwrites any existing directory entries.

How to structure the file

The electronic file containing the data in the directory must be structured into lines or records each comprising five fields separated from one another by a unique character (a tab stop, a comma or a semi-colon). The lines themselves are separated by a line break (carriage return).

FieldsContents
NameA unique identifier in your directory, up to 20 characters long. This field is mandatory; the name should not include the field separator character.
Fax numberYour contacts' fax number, without spaces or dots, can be up to 30 characters long (including any * and # characters). This field may be left empty, for instance, in the case of contacts to whom you only send e-mails.
E-mail addressYour contacts' e-mail address or FTP address or SMB address. Can be up to 80 characters long, but must not comprise the field separator character. Any other characters may be used in this field, which can also be left blank.
Shortcut keyA capital letter (A to Z), unique to the directory, which is associated with a specific contact and enables quick selection. As with the two previous fields, this field can be left blank.
SpeedThe fax transmit speed over the PSTN. If you do not specify a value, the default speed is the maximum speed. This field may be left blank if all your fax transmissions are handled by a fax server.

OKI MB290MFP - How to structure the file - 1

Important

You must enter a value for at least one of the Fax number or E-mail address fields. To enter a blank line, key in four field separator characters in a row.

Example:

Smith;0123456789;jsmith@isp.co.uk;J;8

Jones;01987654321;;@;8

O'Connor;0123469874;d.oconnor@hello.net;U;8

OKI MB290MFP - Example: - 1

Note

@ alone is the indication that no associated key is assigned to the entry.

The rate is coded on a number, see the following board:

RateCode number
24005
48004
72003
96002
120001
144000
336008

OKI MB290MFP - Note - 1

Important

You must always enter the field separator character, even if one or more of the fields are left blank.

In the example above, which uses a semi-colon as a separator, the entry for « Jones » lacks both E-mail address and shortcut key.

WLAN network

You can connect your machine to a PC using a USB cable or make a wireless connection (via radio) with a PC or network.

OKI MB290MFP - WLAN network - 1

Important

If you have a WLAN adaptor, you can incorporate your machine as a network printer into a radio network. This works only with an approved adaptor that you can obtain from our ordering department. For further information, contact http://www.okiprintingsolutions.com.

Type of radio network

A radio network or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is created when at least two computers, printers or other peripheral devices communicate with each other in a network via radio waves (high frequency waves). The transmission of data in the radio network is based on the standards 802.11b and 802.11g. According to how the network is set up, it may be described as an infrastructure network or an ad-hoc network.

OKI MB290MFP - Type of radio network - 1

CAUTION

Beware, when you are using a wireless connection, that certain items of medical equipment, sensitive or security systems may be affected by the radio transmissions of your device; in all cases, please follow safety guidelines closely.

Radio infrastructure network

In an infrastructure network, several devices communicate via a central access point (a gateway or router). All data is sent to the access point (gateway or router) from where it is re-distributed.

OKI MB290MFP - Radio infrastructure network - 1

Radio ad-hoc network

In an ad-hoc network, the devices communicate directly with each other without passing through an access point. The speed of communication across the whole radio network is as fast as the weakest connection in the network. The speed of communication is also dependent on spatial distance between transmitter and receiver, as

well as the number of barriers, such as walls or ceilings.

OKI MB290MFP - Radio ad-hoc network - 1

Important

Please note that in ad-hoc mode, the WPA/WPA2 encryption method is not available.

OKI MB290MFP - Radio ad-hoc network - 2

Radio networks (WLAN)

Three steps are necessary to incorporate your machine into a radio network (WLAN):

1 Configure the network to your PC.
2 Set up the parameters for your machine so that it can function in a network.
3 Having set up the parameters for your device, install the Companion Suite Pro software onto your PC with the necessary printer drivers.

Once the machine is incorporated into a WLAN network, you can from your PC:

  • print documents on the multifunction machine from your usual applications,
  • scan colour, grey scale or black and white documents on your PC.

OKI MB290MFP - Radio networks (WLAN) - 1

Important

The PC and all other devices must have their parameters set up to the same network as the multifunction machine. All the details needed for setting up the device, such as the network names (SSID), type of radio network, encryption key, IP address or subnetwork mask, must match the specifications of the network.

You will find these details on your PC or on the Access Point.

To find out how to set up the parameters for your PC, please consult the users' manual for your WLAN adaptor. For large networks, please seek the advice of your network administrator.

NoteYou can be sure of perfect communication if you use an approved adaptor in conjunction with your PC. All of the latest printer drivers for the approved adaptor may be found on our website together with further information: http://www.okiprintingsolutions.com.

Connect your WLAN adaptor

Your machine belongs to a new generation of terminals that you can incorporate into a WLAN network using a WLAN USB key.

ImportantYour machine's network radio adaptor transmits data using the radio protocol IEEE 802.11g; it can also be incorporated into an existing IEEE 802.11b network.
When connecting to your machine, only use the approved adaptor. Other transmitting or receiving adaptors may damage your device.
Irrespective of whether you use your machine in an infrastructure or ad-hoc network, you must set up certain network and security parameters (for example, the Service-Set-ID (SSID) and the encryption key). These must match the network's specifications.

1 Plug your WLAN USB key into the USB port of your machine.

OKI MB290MFP - Connect your WLAN adaptor - 1

Cover page

The cover page is part of a fax document automatically generated by your terminal, on which there is information concerning the sender, the recipient, the date, the time sent, comments, etc...

This page may be sent alone or in front of a fax document, but always at the same time as the document. A document may be sent with a cover page from the multifunction terminal or from the central processing unit. In the latter case, some of the information in the cover page may be provided by yourself when making the send request. It is necessary to create model cover pages before sending a document using them. On the other hand, once the cover page is created, a model cover page may be used for all documents sent.

Your terminal offers the possibility of creating and customizing some model cover pages which you can choose when sending a fax.

Creating a cover page template

Creating a cover page creates a template which fields (fax number, comment, subject and so on) will be automatically filled by the Fax Application depending on the information provided for each recipient of a document.

To create this cover page template, there are two major steps:

  • First step: Create a background image with the logos and the layout that you wish.
  • Second step: Add the field that you want to be displayed in the cover page: fax number, comment, subject and so on. As mentioned before, these fields will be filled by Fax application at emission time.

For the first step, there are two methods to create the background image.

You can either

  • Option (A): Draw this background image in your preferred application (such as Word, Excel,...),
    OR
  • Option (B): Scan a sheet of paper containing the layout of the cover page.

Details about Option A and B:

  • Option (A): Open the application that you want to use to edit the background (Word, Wordpad...). Draw the background image then print this document in the printer named "OKI MB290 (FAX)". At that point the SendFax dialog is displayed:

OKI MB290MFP - Creating a cover page template - 1

Add any recipient to the recipient list, click on the tab ADVANCED OPTIONS, select resolution FINE as shown below:

OKI MB290MFP - Creating a cover page template - 2

Finally click on the button SAVE AS DRAFT in the lower right corner (floppy disk icon). The background image is created in the directory C:\Program Files\Companion Suite Pro LL2\Documents\FAXTemporary and has the file extension .fax

  • Option (B): Launch COMPANION MANAGER, select NEW FAX, select the scanner source as shown below:

OKI MB290MFP - Creating a cover page template - 3

Add any recipient to the recipient list, click on the tab ADVANCED OPTIONS, select resolution FINE as shown below:

OKI MB290MFP - Creating a cover page template - 4

Finally click on the button SAVE AS DRAFT in the lower right corner (floppy disk icon). The background image is created in the directory C:\Program Files\Companion Suite Pro LL2\Documents\FAXTemporary and has the file extension .fax.

Whether you choose Option A or B, you end up with a background image with extension .fax, which is located in C:\Program Files\Companion Suite Pro LL2\Documents\FAX\Temporary.

You can now proceed to the second step right below.

For the second step:

Now that the background image is created in directory in C:\Program Files\Companion Suite Pro LL2\Documents\FAXTemporary, you can add the fields on top of the background image.

Please follow the procedure below:

(a) Launch Companion Manager, select New Fax, click on the tab Cover Page, and check the check box named With the cover page.
(b) Click on the button New, this displays a new window with the title Creation of the cover page.
(c) Press the button Open in the toolbar, change the file filter to *.fax and browse to the directory C:\Program Files\Companion Suite Pro LL2 \Documents\FAX \Temporary that contains the background image that you have created in the First step.
(d) Click on the button Fields in the toolbar, a window pops up allowing you to add the fields on top of the background image.
(e) Click on the button Save to save the Cover Page template and exit this window.
(f) The window New Fax is displayed, you can now choose the Cover Page template that you want to use. When you double click the preview image in the lower right corner, another window pops up giving you a preview of the cover page with the fields filled with the recipient's information.
