DIPUS
There are four utilities available within OKI DIPUS. Each utility provides access to the
printer settings from your computer. Using these utilities you can change the button
settings, menu settings, top of form settings and also view the current status of the printer.
Any changes made can then be uploaded to the printer and it will be saved to the printer
as new settings. These utilities are an alternative to the printer operator panel.
Button setup utility
Using this utility you can activate or deactivate buttons on your printer operator panel. Each
button and its function is described in a message view.
Menu setup utility
Using this utility you can view and change your printers’ Menu settings.
Status monitor
The Status Monitor utility allows you to view your printers’ current status for example, On-
line, On-line (power saving) and so on. In the event of a printer error occurring, a warning
message is also displayed.
TOF setup utility
Using this utility you can now set the first line of print (TOF) for each page. This utility
allows you to treat each print job individually.
