Turn On the 9542 Printer
This knowledge base article shows how to turn on the 9542 printer when starting a number plate production run. Follow these simple instructions and ensure the power is turned off on the OKI printer and your computer until ready. We recommend using the USB cable to connect to a PC because it’s easier to set up and windows will do the majority of the work for you.
