When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits the printer  
through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face up. This is  
mainly used for heavy print media. When used in conjunction with the  
Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially  
straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper  
path and makes paper feeding more reliable.

Media Types  
Paper  
The best performance is obtained when using paper designed for  
use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types include:  
Hammermill® Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US Bond (90  
g/m²)  
Xerox® 4024, 20 lb.US Bond (75 g/m²)  
Oki® 52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US Bond  
(120 g/m2)  
Recommendations  
Check http://my.okidata.com for the latest information on  
recommended papers for your printer.  
Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct sunlight  
and heat sources.  
• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously affect  
the life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print  
quality can be improved by changing the media setting to ‘Ultra  
Heavy.’ However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent  
the use of the duplex option.  
Avoid:  
– Damp, damaged or curled paper.  
– Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.  
– Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or paper  
that has a large grain difference between the two sides.  
– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.  
– Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive  
paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.

Envelopes  
Yes  
No  
Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302:  
see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media” in your Handy Reference  
Guide for more information).  
Envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct  
sunlight and heat sources.  
Don’t use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.  
Don’t use damp, damaged or curled envelopes.  
CAUTION  
Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2  
second.

Transparencies  
Use only recommended transparencies (3M CG3720, Oki  
52205701).  
Avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker  
pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.  
Labels  
Avery 5161 White Laser Labels (letter size) work well with your  
printer. Check http://my.okidata.com for the latest information on  
media for your printer.  
Use only labels designed for use in color laser printers and  
photocopiers.  
CAUTION!  
• Labels should cover the entire carrier sheet.  
• Carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any  
part of the printer

Auto Switching  
If you have identical paper stock loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray or  
the optional Second Paper Tray, you can have the printer  
automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out  
of paper. This function is enabled in the Print Menu (see the “Menu  
Functions” section of this manual).  
Media: Multi-Purpose Tray  
Use the Multi-Purpose (MP) Tray for printing card stock, labels,  
envelopes and transparencies. Or load a stack of letterhead  
stationery to switch to as needed.  
A stack of media about 3/8'' (10 mm) high can be loaded into the  
MP Tray, equivalent to about 10 envelopes or 50 transparencies.  
Media should be loaded print side up, top edge facing into the  
printer.  
Generally, the rear exit (Face Up Stacker) is used with the MP  
Tray.  
Important!  
The duplex unit can be used for paper only, at weights up to 28  
lb. US Bond (105 g/m2 metric, 58 lb. Index). Do not use the  
duplex (two-sided printing) function for labels, envelopes,  
transparencies, or paper heavier than 28 lb. US Bond.

Macintosh OS 9.x Operation  
The printer driver supplied provides several controls for altering the  
color output of your printer. For general use, the Auto settings will  
suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good  
results for most documents.  
Many applications have their own color settings and these may  
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the  
documentation for your software application for details on how that  
particular program’s color management functions.  
This section will only detail options as they apply to the LaserWriter  
8 driver. Refer to manufacturer’s guidelines regarding other driver  
operations, for example the AdobePS driver.  
Color Print Matching  
Factors That Affect the Appearance of Printed Documents  
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,  
please be aware that color reproduction is a complex topic, and there  
are many factors to take into consideration. Some of the most  
important factors are listed below.  
Differences between the Range of Colors a Monitor or  
Printer Can Reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full  
range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted  
to a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a printer cannot  
reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.  
Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. A  
monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs),  
a printer uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or  
ink.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and  
blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using  
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows for  
example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately  
on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is  
often the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors  
displayed on screen.  
Viewing conditions  
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For  
example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
Printer driver color settings  
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a  
print. There are several options available to help match the printed  
colors with those displayed on screen. These options are explained  
in subsequent sections of the User Manual.  
To access the color matching options in the driver discussed below:  
1. Access the printer settings page via the Print dialog from any  
application (usually accessed via File Print).  
2. Click on the General drop down menu and select Color Option.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s  
color temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to  
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors  
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the  
monitor’s control panel.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 27  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:  
• 5000k*  
Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphics arts  
environments.  
• 6500k  
Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.  
• 9300k  
Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television sets.  
*k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature  
How Your Software Application Displays Color  
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe®  
Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications  
such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s on-line help  
or user manual for more information.  
Paper Type  
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.  
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one  
on specially formulated glossy paper.

Choosing a Color Matching Method  
There is no one correct way to achieve a good match between the  
document displayed on your monitor and its printed equivalent.  
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and  
reproducible color.  
The following guidelines may help in achieving good color output  
from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending  
on the type of document you are printing.  
NOTE  
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may  
vary depending on the application from which you are  
printing. Some applications will override any color matching  
settings in the printer driver without warning.  
RGB or CMYK?  
The guidelines for choosing a color matching method make  
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,  
Yellow, Black (CMYK).  
Generally, most documents you print will be in RGB format. This is  
the most common, and if you do not know your document’s color  
mode, assume that it is RGB.  
Typically CMYK documents are only supported in professional  
Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.  
Matching Photographic Images  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching (found in the printer driver under Color Control)  
is a generally a good choice. Select a matching method appropriate  
to your monitor.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
RGB or CMYK  
If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application  
such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to  
simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use  
the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC  
profiles as the Print Space (or Output space).  
Matching Specific Colors  
(For instance, a Company logo.)  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching, and the sRGB setting.  
PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric option.  
Use the Color Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB swatches  
and enter your desired RGB values in your application's color  
picker.  
RGB or CMYK  
If you are printing from a graphics application such as Adobe  
Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the  
printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC-  
Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as  
the Print Space (or Output space).  
Alternatively, use PostScript Color Matching with the Absolute  
Colorimetric setting.  
Printing Vivid Colors  
RGB only  
Use Oki Color Matching, with either the Monitor 6500k Vivid,  
sRGB or Digital Camera settings.  
RGB or CMYK  
Use PostScript Color Matching with the Saturation option.

Color Control  
The Color Control option allows you to determine the scheme in  
which the printer will display colors.  
1. Select the option desired.  
OKI Color Matching  
This is OKI’s proprietary color matching system and affects RGB  
data only. This is the default setting and provides the fastest, best  
color matching for your printer.  
Postscript Color Matching  
This uses PostScript Color Rendering Dictionaries built-in to the  
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.  
No Color Matching  
No color correction occurs when selected. This option is beneficial  
when other matching regimens are used, specifically if you select a  
Color Simulation option.  
Print In Grayscale  
No color will print. The printer will interpret all colors as a variation of  
grays.  
Color Setting  
This option allows you to select your color settings as they appear on  
your monitor.

Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color  
temperature of 6500K, This is best for printing photographic images.  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimized for printing bright colors when using a monitor with a color  
temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics and text. Vivid or  
Digital Camera settings produce brightest colors.  
Monitor (9300k)  
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color  
temperature of 6500K.  
Digital Camera  
Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This  
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some  
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects  
and the conditions under which they were taken. Vivid or Digital  
Camera settings produce brightest colors.  
sRGB  
Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo  
color. This option attempts to simulate RGB color. The colors within  
the printer's color gamut are printed without any modification, and  
only colors that fall outside the printable colors are modified.  
Rendering  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the  
document's color space to the printer color space. The rendering  
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this color  
conversion takes place.

1. Select the option desired.  
Auto  
The default. Auto uses the optimum settings for a general office  
environment.  
Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut  
into the printer's gamut while maintaining the overall appearance of  
an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as  
all the colors are shifted together.  
Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright & saturated colors if you don't  
necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes it the  
recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully  
saturated colors in the source gamut to fully saturated colors in the  
printer's gamut.  
Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. Much  
like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to  
the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this  
attempts to take the paper white into account.  
Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc.  
Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of  
gamut colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white  
as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different  
from paper white, so this may result in color casts, especially in the  
lighter areas of an image.

Macintosh OS X Operation  
This section explains how to change the printer’s properties for  
specific print jobs using OS X.1 and X.2. The settings for printer  
properties are accessed directly from within an application. Most  
applications allow the printer properties to be accessed from within  
the document print dialog box.  
Color Print Matching  
The install utility provides a color matching profile for your printer. In  
general, using the OKI Color Matching settings will provide  
reasonable default settings that produce good results for most  
documents.  
Many applications have their own color settings and these may  
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the  
documentation for your software application for details on how that  
particular program’s color management functions.  
Factors that affect the appearance of prints  
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,  
please be aware that color reproduction is a complex topic, and there  
are many factors to take into consideration. Some of the most  
important factors are listed below.  
Differences between the range of colors a monitor or printer  
can reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full  
range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted  
to a certain range of colors. Additionally, a printer cannot  
reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor and vice versa.  
Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. A  
monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs), a  
printer uses Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black (CMYK) toner or  
ink.  
A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and  
blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using  
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows, for  
example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately  
on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is often  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 62  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors  
displayed on screen.  
Viewing conditions  
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For  
example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
ICC Color Profile Select  
Apple provides a ColorSync Utility Devices that allows selection  
of the OKI supplied ICC color profile for your monitor. The profile will  
attempt to calibrate the monitor to more closely match the printer’s  
output. However, merely selecting the profile will not automatically  
produce perfect results as many factors will contribute to the gamut  
of color selection.  
1. Navigate to the utility by accessing your Local Hard Drive —  
Applications Utilities ColorSync Utility.  
2. Click the arrow next to Displays and select your monitor (in this  
example it is iMac). In the Current Profile area click the down  
arrow and select Other... to access the OKI Color Profile.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 63  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
3. From the Profile selection menu, find and click on the desired ICC  
Profile and then press Open to enable.  
Default Color Profile Select  
Not to be confused with the ColorSync Utility, Apple also provides  
a System Preference utility, ColorSync, for selection of color profiles  
for the printer and documents when a document does not contain  
embedded profiles.  
1. Navigate to the utility by accessing your System Preferences —  
ColorSync.  
2. On the first tab, Default Profiles, select your default profiles by  
pressing the double arrow and highlighting the profile desired.  
The above example details the CMYK output space default  
selection.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. You can calibrate your  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 64  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
monitor’s color regimen in System Preferences Displays →  
Color. Additionally, your monitor color temperature influences how  
"warm" or "cool" the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to  
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors  
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the  
monitor’s control panel.  
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:  
• 5000k or D50 Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in  
graphics arts environments.  
• 6500k or D65 Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.  
• 9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television  
sets.  
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature)  
How your software application displays color  
Some graphics applications such as Macromedia Freehand or  
Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"  
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s  
online help or user manual for more information.  
Paper type  
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.  
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one  
on specially formulated glossy paper.

Choosing a Color Matching Method  
There is no one correct way to achieve a good color match between  
the document displayed on your monitor, and it's printed equivalent.  
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and  
reproducible color.  
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color  
output from your printer. There are several suggested methods,  
depending on the type of document you are printing.  
NOTE  
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may  
vary depending on the application from which you are  
printing. Some applications will override any color matching  
settings in the printer driver without warning.  
RGB or CMYK?  
The guidlines for choosing a color matching method makes  
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,  
Yellow, Black (CMYK).  
Generally, most office documents you print will be in RGB format.  
This is the most common, and, if you do not know your document’s  
color mode, assume that it is RGB.  
Typically CMYK documents are only used in professional Desktop  
Publishing and Graphics applications.  
Matching Photographic Images  
RGB only  
Oki’s Color Matching (found in the printer driver under Printer  
Features Features 2) is a generally a good choice. Select a  
matching method appropriate to your monitor.

RGB or CMYK  
If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application  
such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to  
simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use  
the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC  
profiles as the Print Space (or Output space).  
Matching Specific Colors  
(For instance, a Company logo.)  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching, and the sRGB setting.  
PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric option.

Black Finish  
This setting determines Black Toner usage only.  
Auto  
This option is best for an office environment, with the printer  
determining which style is better.  
Matte  
This option uses more Black and less CMYK while producing a flatter  
black.  
Black Overprint  
This option prevents registration errors and only works for 100%  
black text.  
1. Click on the checkbox to enable the option.  
Collate  
Collating can be carried out with or without a hard disk drive installed.  
However, printers with a hard disk drive will provide greater  
performance. This option is useful when printing multiple copies of  
large documents and you want to print them in sequence.  
1. Click to enable collation of your documents.

Color Control  
No Color Matching  
No color correction occurs when selected. This option is beneficial  
when other matching regimens are used, specifically if you select a  
Color Simulation option.  
OKI Color Matching  
This is OKI’s proprietary color matching system and affects RGB  
data only. This is the default setting and provides the fastest, best  
color matching for your printer.  
Postscript Color Matching  
This uses PostScript Color Rendering Dictionaries built-in to the  
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.  
Print In Grayscale  
No color will print. The printer will interpret all colors as a variation of  
grays.  
Color Setting  
This option allows you to select your color settings as they appear on  
your monitor.  
1. Select the option desired based upon the information below.  
Digital Camera  
Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This  
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some  
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 70  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
and the conditions under which they were taken. Vivid or Digital  
Camera settings produce brightest colors.  
Monitor(6500k) Auto  
The default setting that selects the best options for your printer. This  
selection works best for office situations.  
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual  
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color  
temperature of 6500K, This is best for printing photographic images.  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimized for printing bright colors when using a monitor with a color  
temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics and text. Vivid or  
Digital Camera settings produce brightest colors.  
Monitor (9300k)  
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color  
temperature of 6500K.  
sRGB  
Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo  
color. This option attempts to simulate RGB color. The colors within  
the printer's color gamut are printed without any modification, and  
only colors that fall outside the printable colors are modified.  
Feature Set 2  
The tab’s features are explained below.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 71  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Color Simulation  
Affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer  
environments only.  
This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press  
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan. If using CMYK Ink  
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer  
Color Matching by selecting the No Color Matching option under the  
Color Match option in the printer driver.  
1. Select the option desired.  
Media Check  
Sets whether the printer checks the matching of paper size to that of  
the tray. Only standard sizes are checked.  
Media Type  
Many options are available for selecting the thickness of the paper  
type. Normally the Printer Setting is sufficient.  
1. Select your desired Media Type. Any option, other than Printer  
Setting, will override the setting at the printer.  
Multipurpose tray is handled as manual feed  
Select the option desired: the default is No.

Page Rotate  
Checking this will rotate the printed material on the page 180  
degrees.  
Feature Set 3  
The tab’s features are explained below.  
Quality  
A straightforward selection of the print quality desired.  
• Fast: low resolution, fast speed: choose this for quick proofing of  
drafts.  
• Fine (the default): high resolution, slower speed: Provides  
optimum results when printing graphics.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 73  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. Select your desired print quality.  
Rendering Intent  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the  
document's color space to the printer color space. The rendering  
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this color  
conversion takes place.  
1. Select the option desired.  
Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc.  
Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of  
gamut colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white  
as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different  
from paper white, so this may result in color casts, especially in the  
lighter areas of an image.  
Auto  
The best default select as this selects the optimal settings for a  
general office environment.  
Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut  
into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall appearance of  
an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as  
all the colors are shifted together.  
Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. Much  
like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to  
the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this  
attempts to take the paper white into account.  
ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 74  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you don't  
necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes it the  
recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully  
saturated colors in the source gamut to fully saturated colors in the  
printer's gamut.  
Separations  
This option affects output only, allowing you to print all colors or  
separate plates.  
1. Select the option desired.  
NOTE  
You must select a non-generic PostScript Printer  
Description (PPD) file for a printer that supports color  
separations.  
Printer Halftone  
This option prevents the halftone of a high-end graphic application  
from printing.  
1. Click on the checkbox to enable the option.  
Toner Saving  
Checking this will enable toner saving but reduce print quality.

General Printing Directions  
What follows are descriptions of common printing issues common to  
the Macintosh environment. This section does not attempt to cover  
all the options that might occur, but rather, the typical printing  
operations that can benefit from detailed descriptions. The settings  
selected here are document specific only; meaning, the setting  
selected will apply only to the current print job.  
You can also refer to your Macintosh online help or manual for further  
information.  
Collating  
Collating can be carried out with or without a hard disk drive installed.  
However, installing an HDD will achieve greater performance.  
If the software application being used has a collate print option, it is  
recommended to use only one collate option to prevent any conflicts  
in printing, i.e. collate from the software application or collate from the  
printer driver.  
The following instructions explain how to select collating using a  
printer driver.  
1. To access, first select your desired printer from an application  
using File Print..  
2. The Copies & Pages dialog box should already be displayed. If  
not, then select Copies & Pages from the menu.

Auto Select  
If you have identical paper stock loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray or  
the optional Second Paper Tray, you can have the printer  
automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out  
of paper.  
Paper Options  
When you select a paper-type option, the printer automatically  
accesses the proper tray. For example, when Labels is selected, the  
printer will pull from the Multipurpose tray where the labels should be  
inserted.

Setting Color Tuning from The Front Panel  
Important!  
• In most cases, using Color Tuning is not necessary as the  
printer is optimized for color printing at its default settings.  
• Once you change these settings, they remain in effect until  
you go back in and change them.  
To return the settings to the defaults, use the steps below to  
set each value back to 0 (zero).  
You can use the printer’s menu to adjust the color intensity for a  
specific color by adjusting the HIGHLIGHT, MID-TONE and DARK  
(shadows) Color Tuning Patterns.  
To increase the color intensity, use a higher positive setting  
(default = 0, maximum = +3).  
To decrease the color intensity, use a higher negative setting  
(default = 0, maximum = -3).  
For example, to adjust the intensity of the magenta portion:  
NOTE  
When using the optional Print Job Accounting utility, you  
cannot print when "Local Print" is set to "No printing" or "No

Clearing Paper Jams  
Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any  
point along the paper path.  
When a jam occurs, the printer immediately stops, and the LCD  
display indicates the area where the first sheet is jammed. All  
jammed sheets must be removed in order to restore the printer to  
normal operation.  
Once you clear a jam and close the cover, you may see a new jam  
message indicating an additional jammed sheet which must be  
cleared. This is especially likely if you are printing a multi-page  
document or multiple copies of a single document.  
Unless you have entered the menu and changed the Jam Recovery  
setting in the System Configuration Menu to OFF, once all jams have  
been cleared, the printer will automatically attempt to reprint any  
pages lost due to paper jams.

messages to the printer display. If things seem to be “stuck,”  
check the display of the printer.
