After installation, print a test page. Navigate to the printer properties and check the "Driver Version." An exclusive driver will show a build date specific to the Plus model (e.g., 2023 or later) rather than a generic 2009 driver.

Since official Olivetti support for this legacy model is sparse, here’s what works:

For the Olivetti d-Copia 4500MF Plus, download the Olivetti d-Copia 4500MF (PCL6) driver or the Olivetti Universal Driver. You do not need a specific "Plus" driver.

To get the official and most reliable drivers for your Olivetti d-Copia 4500MF plus, you should use the manufacturer's dedicated support portals. This model typically uses the KX Driver for Windows environments, which provides advanced printing features and job management. Official Download Sources

  • Search the Wayback Machine – Find Olivetti’s old support page snapshots for dcopia 4500mf plus drivers (search web.archive.org with exact model).

  • Check rebranded OEM drivers – Try Konica Minolta pagepro 1350W or similar – but confirm hardware compatibility first.

  • Linux – Many old Olivetti MFPs work via foo2zjs or splix drivers without any “exclusive” downloads.

  • When prompted for "Driver Selection," ensure "Olivetti dCopia 4500MF Plus PCL6" is highlighted. Do not select the "Class Driver."
  • Proceed with the installation. The system will install four components: Print, Scan (TWAIN/WIA), Address Book, and Status Monitor.
