3. USB Interface  
4. Network Interface  
5. Duplex Unit  
6. Rear Stacker (face up)  
Capacity 100 sheets  
When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits  
the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked  
face up.  
This is used for labels, heavy print media, envelopes and  
custom paper sizes.  
When used with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path  
through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids  
bending the print media around curves in the paper path  
and makes paper feeding more reliable.

Paper, US Bond____________________  
General Information  
NOTE  
To determine if a paper weight is US Bond or Index,  
check the metric equivalent.  
35 lb US Bond = 132 g/m2  
35 lb Index = 64 g/m2  
For more information, go to www.paper-paper.com/  
weight.html  
The size, weight, and type of the paper (print media)  
determine:  
which paper feed tray can be used  
which paper exit path can be used  
whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing  
Single sided printing is also known as simplex printing.  
These settings can be made in the printer menu or in the  
printer driver.  
Application settings override driver settings.  
Driver settings override printer menu settings.  
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

Recommendations  
Check www.okiprintingsolutions.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.  
If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner  
fusion, you can try the Label settings.  
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

labels, use the face up (straight through) paper feed path.  
For face up printing (straight-through path), make sure the  
rear exit is open and the paper support is extended.  
Paper is stacked in reverse order.  
Tray capacity is about 100 sheets. Actual capacity depends  
on paper weight.

if the printer checks whether the size paper loaded in the  
selected tray matches that required for the document  
being printed (Paper Size Check)  
if the printer automatically matches the printer job’s  
paper size to a paper tray (Auto Select)  
if a paper tray (Tray 1) runs out of paper, your printer  
can automatically switch to another paper tray (MP Tray,

Paper Jams_______________________  
General Information  
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. The control  
panel displays an error message. This message tells you  
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 another 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.  
Once all jams have been cleared, the printer should  
automatically try to reprint any pages lost due to paper jams.  
If it doesn’t, check the Jam Recovery setting in the System  
Configuration Menu. It must be set to ON. See “Changing  
Settings” on page 97.  
If paper jams are frequent: see page 130

Printer Drivers  
General Information________________  
The printer drivers allow you to adjust the settings for your  
print job. Driver settings can interact with each other. For  
example, the paper type, weight, and size you use restricts  
many of your job settings.  
Changes to driver settings can be  
used for only a single print job  
saved as the default settings for ALL print jobs  
or  
saved (under a name) for future use [only with PCL  
and Macintosh drivers].  
NOTE  
Most applications allow the printer properties to  
be accessed from within the document print  
dialog box.  
Application settings override driver settings.  
Driver settings override printer menu settings.  
Install___________________________

Which Printer Driver to Use? _________  
Windows  
Your printer comes with drivers for  
PCL  
Adobe® PostScript® (PS).  
You can install only one driver, or all of these drivers.  
Your choice depends upon your printing requirements.  
PCL  
Choose this if you use TrueType fonts, and you do not  
print PostScript (including “.eps” files) graphics.  
This is more efficient and gives good results.  
PostScript  
Choose this if you use PostScript fonts or print  
PostScript graphics.  
Performance is faster. Graphics print at their best  
quality.  
NOTE  
The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript.  
If you plan to print parts of this manual, choose the  
PostScript driver. Otherwise, the line art graphics  
print at low resolution. The print quality may not be  
satisfactory.  
If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should  
install both drivers. Select the same printer port (LPT1 or  
Network Port) for both drivers during the installation.  
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your  
Windows default driver. Most applications allow you to choose  
a different printer from within the print dialog, so you can use  
the alternative driver for printing whenever you need to.

Black Overprint____________________  
General Information  
Black overprint eliminates the white edge between the printed  
fonts and the colored background.  
Black overprint can only be used when printing 100 percent  
black text over a background color.  
Restrictions  
1.  
Black Overprint may not be available with some software  
applications.  
2.  
The fonts (characters) must be 100 per cent black. If  
they are not, they are treated as graphics. Black  
overprint will not work.  
Example:  
If you print large letters on a color background using  
a Microsoft Office software application  
a True Type font  
Windows XP, 2000, or NT 4.0  
Black Overprint won’t work.  
Replace the True Type font with a printer font.  
3.  
4.  
When the background color is very dark, the toner may  
not fuse correctly.  
Change the background color to a lighter color.  
Black Overprint can only be used in Mac OS 10.x if you  
are using an application that specifies RGB color space  
and you are using PostScript Color Matching.

Collating _________________________  
General Information  
Important  
If your software application has a collate option, use  
it instead of the collate option in the printer driver.  
This prevents any conflicts between the software  
application and the printer driver.  
NOTE  
Most applications allow the printer properties to be  
accessed from within the document print dialog box.  
Application settings override driver settings.  
Driver settings override printer menu settings.  
F3_07.jpg  
Collating is printing multiple copies of a multi-page job where  
each copy has the pages arranged in the correct order.  
If you print multiple copies of a multi-page job and DO NOT  
specify collating, all of the copies of the first page print before  
the copies of the subsequent page(s) print.  
Collating can be carried out with or without a hard disk drive  
installed. However, printers with a hard disk drive will provide  
greater performance.

Basics  
There are three methods by which your document’s color can  
be managed and adjusted:  
1
3
2
Windows /  
Macintosh  
1. Application Color Management (1).  
Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as  
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Quark Xpress  
have their own built-in color management systems.  
Most applications do not have these color management  
features and rely instead on the printer or operating  
system.  
2. Operating System Color Management (2).  
Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP have Windows ICM color  
Management.  
Mac OS and Mac OS X have Apple ColorSync.  
3. Printer Color Management (3).  
When you print your document and modify settings in the  
printer driver, the printer performs color adjustments.  
Important!  
Only use one color management system if  
you want the best results from your printer.  
If you wish to use your printer’s color  
management system, ensure that your  
application or operating system color  
management is switched off.  
Applying color management in multiple places  
will give unpredictable results.

Factors that Affect Color Printing

can reproduce. See page 205.  
monitor settings. See page 206.  
color settings in your software application. See page 207.

Factors that Affect Color Printing  
Monitor Colors vs. Printer Colors  
Differences between the range of colors a monitor or  
printer can reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor can reproduce the full range of  
colors seen by the human eye.  
Each device is limited to a certain range of colors.  
A printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on  
a monitor.  
A monitor cannot reproduce all of the colors printed by a  
printer.  
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.  
Very vivid colors (such as intense reds and blues) can be  
displayed on a monitor. These same colors cannot be easily  
produced on any printer using toner or ink.  
There are certain colors (for example, some yellows), that can  
be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor.  
These differences between monitor colors and printer colors  
are the main reasons why printed colors do not always match  
the colors displayed on screen.

Factors that Affect Color Printing  
Monitor Settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can  
change how your document looks on-screen.  
Your monitor color temperature also influences how "warm" or  
"cool" the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference  
to your monitor’s Color Temperature.  
Many monitors allow you to adjust the color

Factors that Affect Color Printing  
Software Settings  
Many software applications have their own color settings.  
The application settings 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.  
How the application displays color  
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW®, Adobe®  
Photoshop®, or Macromedia Freehand® may display color  
differently from "office" applications such as Microsoft® Word.

Factors that Affect Color Printing  
Printer Driver Settings  
The color settings in your printer driver can change the  
appearance of a document.  
There are several options available to help match the  
printed colors with those displayed on screen.  
See “How To” on page 218.  
For Windows  
The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide  
several controls for changing the color output.  
The default driver settings produce good results for most  
documents.  
For Macintosh  
The install utility provides  
a color matching profile for your printer  
and  
a Color Option utility in the print driver.  
The Auto settings produce good results for most  
documents.  
See “Automatic” on page 221.

Factors that Affect Color Printing  
Lighting (Viewing) Conditions  
A document can look very different under various lighting  
conditions.  
For example, the colors may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window compared to how they  
look under standard office fluorescent lighting.  
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  
General Information  
NOTE  
These suggestions are for guidance only.  
Your results may vary depending on the application  
from which you are printing.  
Some applications override, without warning, any  
color matching settings in the printer driver.  
There is no one 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.  
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good  
color output from your printer.  
There are several suggested methods. The method you choose  
is determined by the type of document you are printing.

Choosing a Color Matching Method  
RGB or CMYK?  
The RGB color model is based on the three primary colors of  
light; Red, Green and Blue. This model is used by scanners,  
digital cameras and computer monitors.  
The CMYK color model is based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and  
Black printer inks or toners.  
Most documents you print are in RGB format. This is the most  
common method. If you do not know your document’s color  
mode, assume that it is RGB.  
CMYK documents are typically only supported in professional  
Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.

Hue, Brightness, and Saturation  
There are three main components to color: Hue, Brightness,  
and Saturation.  
Hue  
The component that determines the frequency of light or  
the position in the spectrum or the relative amounts of  
red, green and blue. Hue corresponds to the common  
definition of color, e.g. "red", "orange", "violet" etc.  
Brightness  
The component that determines the total amount of light  
(white) in the color. Zero brightness is black. 100%  
Brightness is white. Intermediate values are "light" or  
"dark" colors.  
Windows and Macintosh 10.3  
Brightness can be adjusted when using the Gray Scale  
color mode (color matching method).  
Gray Scale: see page 253  
Saturation  
The degree of saturation of a color is its relative purity, or  
freedom from, mixture with white.  
Windows and Macintosh 10.3  
Saturation can be adjusted when using the Gray Scale  
color mode (color matching method).  
Gray Scale: see page 253

Color Matching ____________________  
How To  
NOTE  
Most applications allow the printer properties to be  
accessed from within the document print dialog box.  
Application settings override driver settings.  
Driver settings override printer menu settings.  
Color reproduction is a complex topic.  
This how-to information explains how to perform color  
matching with your printer.  
Color Match Precision  
When the printer performs color matching, it must do many  
calculations to convert between different color formats (RGB,  
CMYK, etc). These calculations can take time to process.  
The [Color Match Precision] option allows you to choose  
between higher quality color matching (more time consuming)  
or faster but less accurate color matching.

Office Color  
Overview  
from C9600 Print Guide  
This is a simple color management system designed for ease  
of use. Office Color is recommended for users who are not  
experts in color but want good results when printing from  
programs such as Microsoft Office.  
There are two different sets of options in Office Color:  
CMYK Options  
RGB Options  
(PostScript only)  
Monitor (6500K) – Auto  
Monitor (6500K) – Perceptual  
Monitor (6500K) – Vivid  
Monitor (9300K)  
SWOP  
Euroscale  
Japan Color  
Digital Camera  
sRGB  
Important!  
The options for CMYK data are not present in  
the Windows PCL printer drivers. These  
printer drivers only support RGB color data.  
Although the Office Color options contain controls for CMYK  
data, it is strongly recommended that you use the Graphic Pro  
options instead. If you are printing CMYK data, the Graphic Pro  
options provide more power and flexibility.

Graphic Pro  
Overview  
This section describes the color matching options available for  
Graphic Pro.  
The Graphic Pro color matching system is based around ICC  
profiles. These profiles are downloaded to the printer using the  
Profile Assistant utility and then selected in the printer driver.  
When a job is sent to the printer, the ICC profiles are applied  
to the print job on the printer.  
Important!  
Some features of Graphic Pro color matching  
can only be used if your printer is fitted with  
a hard disk. The printer hard disk is required  
if you wish to download and use your own ICC  
profiles to the printer.  
If your printer does not have a hard disk  
fitted, you will only be able to select the  
factory default profiles that are built-in to the  
printer.  
NOTE  
The printer’s internal hard disk is an optional  
accessory.

What can you do with Graphic Pro?  
The Graphic Pro color matching system is both powerful and  
flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro color  
matching system can be used:  
Matching printer color to an RGB input device  
By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or  
monitor, the printer's color can be matched to the input  
device.  
Printer simulation  
Your printer can be used to simulate the color output of  
another printer, even when printing RGB documents. For  
best results, use CMYK documents when simulating the  
color output of other printers.  
CMYK ink simulation  
Your printer can be used to simulate the color output of a  
commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan  
Color inks).  
More accurate printer color  
If you have created your own profiles with third-party ICC  
profile creation software, these can be downloaded to the  
printer and used when printing.

Types of ICC profile supported  
There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the  
Graphic Pro color matching system:  
Profile type  
Description  
RGB Source  
(RGB Input)  
These profiles describe the device that was used to capture  
RGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera).  
The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile if  
you are trying to match to your screen.  
CMYK  
Simulation  
(CMYK input)  
These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colors you  
are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another  
manufacturer's printer or an offset printing press.  
Profiles are already built-in to the printer for commercial  
printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale.  
Printer  
(CMYK Output)  
This profile describes the color characteristics of your own  
printer.  
The printer already has factory default profiles built-in, but  
you can replace these profiles with your own if required.  
Link Profile  
This is a special type of ICC profile that converts directly  
from CMYK to CMYK.  
For example, a link profile could convert directly from the  
CMYK space of another printer to the CMYK space of your  
printer.

Simulating another printer – RGB source data

Important!  
Be aware that if the device you are trying to  
simulate has different color capabilities from  
your own printer, exact color simulation will  
not be possible. For example, it may be  
difficult to reproduce the exact colors of an  
inkjet printer on a toner-based printer.  
Additionally, differences in the range of  
printable colors between different devices can  
make simulation using RGB source data  
inaccurate. To achieve best results when  
simulating the color output of other printers,  
you are strongly advised to use CMYK data as  
a source. See CMYK Ink Simulations on  
page 242.  
To simulate the output of another printer, you need to  
download at least 2 profiles to your printer using Profile  
Assistant:

CMYK ink simulations – CMYK source data  
The ICC-based color matching system can be used to simulate  
the output on commercial printing presses.  
You can select from the ink types most commonly used in  
different regions of the world:  
Euroscale – Europe  
SWOP – North America  
Toyo – Japan  
To print CMYK Ink Simulations, you must use PostScript printer  
driver supplied.

press)  
3. Printer output profile  
6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile  
Although it is possible to perform CMYK ink simulations using  
the Office Color options in the printer driver, we recommend  
that you use the Graphic Pro color matching system to perform  
CMYK ink simulations, as this provides additional controls,  
such as using the “Preserve Black” feature, or specifying an  
alternative printer output profile.  
Instructions on how to apply Ink Simulations appear in the  
next section (Windows page 243, Mac OS 9 page 245,

Custom Page Size allows you to setup your printer (by  
customizing settings in your printer driver) to work with non-  
standard size sheets of print media.  
You save the settings. Then, the saved settings can be used for  
printing, the same way you use standard page sizes.  
To use Custom Page Size, you must complete two steps.  
1.  
You must set up your custom page in your printer driver.  
This is also known as registering the custom page.  
2.  
To use a registered custom page, you must select it when  
you print a document.

Special Print Media (Paper)  
If you are using heavy media, transparencies, envelopes or  
labels, use the face up (straight through) paper feed path.  
If the Ultra Heavy setting does not give proper toner fusion,  
you can try the Label settings.See “Driver Settings” on  
page 11.  
For face up printing (straight-through path), make sure the  
rear exit is open and the paper support is extended.  
Paper is stacked in reverse order.  
Tray capacity is about 100 sheets.  
Actual capacity depends on paper weight.

Print Resolution ___________________  
General Information  
Adjusting the resolution for a print job allows you to control the  
print speed and print quality of a job. Adjusting the resolution  
also allows you to improve your toner mileage.  
When printing proofs or drafts, you usually don’t need the best  
possible print quality. You usually do need the fastest possible  
print speed. Using a lower print resolution can accomplish  
these goals.  
Lowering the print resolution can reduce the need for toner  
and the wear on the image drum. This increases the mileage  
of your toner and drum.  
Raising the print resolution can maximize the image quality of  
a print job. You usually do this for final versions of documents  
or when printing images (photographs).

Watermarks ______________________  
General Information  
watermark.jpg  
Traditionally, a watermark is a mark which is made on some  
types of paper during its production which can only be seen if  
it is held against the light.  
Your printer can print an element that performs as a  
watermark. This element is separate from the actual contents  
of a document. Examples are printing SAMPLE or INTERNAL  
USE ONLY on copies of document.  
There are three steps in working with Watermarks:
