The Windows 8 operating systems, by design, have “Class drivers” built-in to the OS. This is Microsoft’s® method of reducing the footprint of the Windows 8 operating systems. Further, Windows 8 functionality is such that when a device is connected via Plug ‘N Play, Windows 8 will automatically associate one of these built-in Class drivers with the connected device. In the case of the OKI MB4X1MFP device, Windows 8 will automatically associate and install the “OKI PCL6 Class driver” with the device.
