ES3640 MFP Roadmap

Introduction

The  ES3640 MFP from Oki Printing Solutions 

prints, scans, and copies excellent color documents 

for a wide variety of applications, from general 

business to professional level graphic arts. This 

booklet gives you some guidelines for getting the 

best results for your particular situation. It also 

points you to portions of the documentation suite 

that provide details on specific topics covered here.

Setup and Installation

These documents tell you how to assemble the 

MFP, install software, and configure the network 

connection:

• The MFP Technician’s Installation Guide, 

printed, included with the printing unit

• The MFP Software Installation Guide, printed, 

included with the printing unit

• The EFI

®

 User’s Software Installation Guide, 

an Adobe

®

 pdf file located on the 

Documentation CD

• The EFI Configuration Guide, for network 

configuration, an Adobe

pdf file located on the 

Documentation CD.

Copying and Scanning

For instructions on how to perform copying and 

scanning functions, press the HELP button on the 

scanning unit’s control panel. You’ll see a list of 

topics. Touch the topic you want to learn about, 

then touch GOTO. The screen shows step-by-step 

directions.

For more information, check these sources:

• The Handy Reference Guide, attached to the 

side of your MFP

• The MFP User’s Guide, an Adobe

pdf file 

located on the Documentation CD

• The EFI Printing Guide, an Adobe

pdf file 

located on the Documentation CD.

Printing

There are two sources of information about the 

hardware aspects of the printing unit:

• The Handy Reference Guide, attached to the 

side of your printing unit

• The MFP User’s Guide, an Adobe

pdf file 

located on the Documentation CD.

Both of these explain how to use the printing unit’s 

control panel, select and load paper, order and 

install consumables, and solve simple problems. 

For quick information, use the Handy Reference. 

For more details, go to the MFP User’s Guide.

For paper jams and certain other problems, you 

can also press the HELP button on the printing 

unit’s control panel for quick information.

General Business Use

For most purposes, use the PostScript

®

 (Fiery

®

) 

driver. It produces the best color quality and prints 

superior graphics. It also has special settings that 

optimize printing from PowerPoint

®

.

Setting up the Fiery Driver

The Fiery driver sends a print file to a queue. For 

business use, configure the driver to send to the 

Direct queue (see the EFI Configuration Guide). 

This prints the file and discards it.

Don’t use the Print queue or the Hold queue. These 

queues leave the file on the server, which takes up 

space and could present security problems if you’re 

printing sensitive files. They also require an 

administrator to control printing and deleting files. 

See chapter 3 of the EFI Configuration Guide for 

information on the queues.

NOTE

For details on working with color in office 

applications, see chapter 3 of the EFI Color 

Reference Guide.
