conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path  
through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending  
the paper around curves in the paper path and enables feeding  
of up to 200g/m² media.

PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS  
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range  
of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This  
section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains  
how to use each type.  
The best performance will be obtained when using standard  
75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.  
Suitable types are:  
• Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;  
• Colour Copy by Neusiedler.  
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not  
recommended.  
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset  
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing  
process.  
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.  
They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that  
remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in  
this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.  
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in  
copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki Printing  
Solutions transparencies (Order No. 01074101). In particular,  
avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker  
pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.  
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in  
copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is  
entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may  
damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the  
printing process. Suitable types are:  
• Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4),  
or 5161 (Letter);

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray  
if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can have the printer  
automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs  
out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this  
function is enabled in the driver settings. (See “Printer Settings in  
Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems,  
this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions”  
later in this guide.)  
MULTI PURPOSE TRAY  
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette  
trays but in weights up to 203g/m². For very heavy paper stock  
use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper  
path through the printer is almost straight.  
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm  
and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).  
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper  
stock between 90g/m² and 128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper  
stacker.  
Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and  
transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10  
envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum  
stacking depth of 10mm.  
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top  
edge into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing)  
function.

FACE DOWN STACKER  
The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to  
250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper  
stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1  
first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing  
down).  
FACE UP STACKER  
The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened  
and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this  
condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver  
settings.  
The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m²  
standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 200g/m².  
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper  
stocks heavier than 176g/m².  
DUPLEX UNIT  
This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same  
range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6),  
using paper stocks from 75-105g/m².  
NOTE:  
The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

4.  
Adjust the rear stopper and paper guides (2) to the size of  
paper being used. For A6 paper, remove and re-install in  
the A6 position.  
To prevent paper jams:  
• Do not leave space between the paper and the guides  
and rear stopper.  
• Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the  
type of paper stock.  
• Do not load damaged paper.  
• Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the  
same time.  
• Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except  
as described below for the 2nd tray).  
• Close the paper tray gently.

6.  
Set paper size dial (3) to the size of paper being used (A4  
in the above example).  
If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st  
(upper) tray, you can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during  
printing to reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd  
(lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will  
cause a paper jam.  
7.  
8.  
9.  
For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear)  
stacker (3) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the  
printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets,  
depending on paper weight.  
For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear)  
stacker (3) is open and the paper support (4) is extended.  
Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is  
approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.  
Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper  
(card stock etc.).

PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS  
Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many  
options.  
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of  
these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as  
those in the operator panel menus, and you print documents  
from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will  
override those items in the operator panel menus.  
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Other  
Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the  
principles are the same.  
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS  
When you choose to print your  
document from a Windows  
application program a print  
dialogue box appears. This  
dialogue usually specifies the  
name of the printer on which you  
will print your document. Next to  
the printer name is a Properties  
button.  
When you click Properties a new  
window opens which contains a short list of the printer settings  
available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.  
The settings available from within your application are only those  
which you may want to change for specific applications or  
documents. Settings you change here will usually only last for as  
long as the particular application program is running.

When you click the Properties button  
from your application’s Print dialogue,  
the driver window opens to allow you  
to specify your printing preferences  
for the current document.

1.  
Paper size should be the same  
as the page size of your  
5
6
document (unless you wish to  
scale the printout to fit another  
size), and should also be the  
7
same as the size of paper you will feed into the printer.  
2.  
You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which  
may be Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you  
have the optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multi  
purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part  
of the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.  
3.  
4.  
The setting for paper weight should match the type of  
paper on which you intend to print.  
A variety of document finishing options can be selected,  
such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can  
be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages  
at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints  
two pages per sheet on each side of the paper so that  
when folded they make up a booklet. Booklet printing  
requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer.  
Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over  
multiple sheets.  
5.  
6.  
For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by  
the long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires  
that a duplex unit be installed in your printer.  
If you have changed some printing preferences before and  
saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having  
to set them individually each time you need them. This  
can save a lot of time and is especially useful with so  
many combinations of paper sizes, weights, duplex,  
booklet etc.

The output resolution of the printed page can be set as  
follows.  
• The High Quality setting prints at 600 x 600dpi x 2 bit.  
This option requires the most printer memory and  
takes the longest to print.  
• The Fine/Detail setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi and is  
adequate for all but the most discerning applications.  
• The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is  
suitable for most draft documents, where print quality  
is less critical.  
2.  
3.  
You can print watermark text behind the main page  
image. This is useful for marking documents as draft,  
confidential, etc.  
You can select up to 999 copies to print consecutively,  
although you will need to top up the paper tray during  
such a long print run.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or  
landscape (wide).  
The printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller  
stationery.  
Clicking the Advanced button gives you access to further  
settings. For example, you can elect to have black areas  
printed using 100%K toner (a more matte appearance).

Control over the colour output of your printer may be  
performed automatically, or for advanced control, by  
manual adjustment. The automatic setting will be  
appropriate in most cases. The other options in this  
window only become visible when you select a choice  
other than Auto. For greyscale printing, the printer runs at  
32ppm and all pages are printed in black and white.  
You can choose from a range of colour matching options,  
depending on the image source for your document. For  
example, a photograph taken on a digital camera might  
require different colour matching to a business graphic  
created in a spreadsheet application. Again, for most  
general purpose use, automatic is the best choice.  
3.  
4.  
Printed output may be made lighter or darker, or the  
colours made more saturated and vibrant as required.  
Black areas may be printed using 100% cyan, magenta  
and yellow (composite black), giving a more glossy  
appearance, or using only black toner (true black), giving  
a more matte appearance. Choosing the automatic setting  
allows the driver to make the most appropriate choice  
depending on image content.

When you open the driver properties window directly from

Windows session to the next.

Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest).  
Highest priority documents will print first.  
Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a  
special print file) before being printed. The document is  
then printed in the background, allowing your application  
program to become available more quickly.  
4.  
This specifies that printing should not start until the last  
page has been spooled. If your application program needs  
a lot of time for further computation in the middle of  
printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a  
short period, the printer could prematurely assume that  
the document has finished. Selecting this option would  
prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a  
little later, as the start is delayed.

This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing  
starts as soon as possible after the document begins  
spooling.  
This specifies that the document should not be spooled,  
but printed directly. Your application will not normally be  
ready for further use until the print job is complete. This  
requires less disk space on your computer, since there is  
no spool file.

Directs the spooler to check the document setup and  
match it to the printer setup before sending the document  
to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is held  
in the print queue and does not print until the printer  
setup is changed and the document restarted from the  
print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will not  
prevent correctly matched documents from printing.  
Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which  
have completed spooling when deciding which document  
to print next, even if completed documents are lower  
priority than documents which are still spooling. If no  
documents have completed spooling, the spooler will  
favour larger spooling documents over shorter ones. Use  
this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency.  
When this option is disabled the spooler chooses  
documents based only on their priority settings.  
9.  
Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents  
after they are completed. This allows documents to be re  
submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of  
printing again from the application program. If you use  
this option frequently it will require large amounts of disk  
space on your computer.  
10. Specifies whether advanced features, such as booklet  
printing, page order and pages per sheet, are available,  
depending on your printer. For normal printing keep this  
option enabled. If compatibility problems occur you can  
disable the feature. However, these advanced options  
may then not be available, even though the hardware  
might support them.  
11. This button provides access to the same setup windows as  
when printing from applications. Changes made via the  
Windows Control Panel become the Windows default  
settings.  
12. You can design and specify a separator page that prints  
between documents. This is particularly useful on a  
shared printer to help each user find their own documents  
in the output stack.

brightness. For example, if you reduce saturation by 10,  
increase brightness by 10 to compensate.

COLOUR PRINTING  
The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several  
controls for changing the colour output. For general use the  
automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default  
settings that will produce good results for most documents.  
Many applications have their own colour 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 colour management functions.  
FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRINTS  
If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer  
driver, please be aware that colour 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 colours  
a monitor or printer can reproduce  
> Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing  
the full range of colours visible to the human eye. Each  
device is restricted to a certain range of colours. In  
addition to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the  
colours displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.  
> Both devices use very different technologies to represent  
colour. A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB)  
phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta,  
Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.  
> A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense  
reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on  
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain  
colours, (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 colours do not match the colours  
displayed on screen.  
Colour printing> 59  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Viewing conditions  
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions.  
For example, the colours 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 colour settings  
The driver settings for manual colour can change the appearance  
of a print. There are several options available to help match the  
printed colours with those displayed on screen.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s  
colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours  
look.  
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:  
> 5000k  
Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in  
graphic art 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 colour  
Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe  
Photoshop may display colour 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  
colour. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller  
than one on specially formulated glossy paper.

TIPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR  
The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour  
output from your printer.  
PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES  
Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.  
If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or  
Digital Camera settings.  
PRINTING FROM OFFICE APPLICATIONS  
Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having  
problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft  
Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint.  
PRINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS  
(E.G.  
A COMPANY LOGO)  
There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help  
match specific colours:  
Colour Correct Utility  
Colour Swatch Utility  
ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT  
If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control  
to adjust it.  
If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the  
Saturation control.

USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE  
To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour  
Swatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was supplied  
with your printer.  
The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range  
of sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours  
that the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour are  
the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be  
used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to  
choose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatch  
button (1) and choose from the options available.  
1
An example of using the colour swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps  
you would follow are:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that  
best suits your needs.  
Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that  
you liked.  
Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB  
values, and change the logo to that colour.  
The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily  
match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case,  
it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor  
and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your  
primary objective is to print the required colour.

USING THE COLOUR CORRECT UTILITY  
The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver  
CD-ROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed  
along with the printer driver.  
The Colour Correct utility has the following features:  
> Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually  
adjusted. This is useful if you want to change how a  
specific colour is printed.  
> Colours can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and  
Gamma. This is useful if you wish to change the overall  
colour output.  
Once these colour adjustments have been made, the new  
settings can be selected from the printer driver Colour tab.  
To select adjustments made with the Colour Correct  
Utility:  
1.  
From your application program, click File and point to  
Print.  
2.  
3.

MONO-PRINT  
SPEED  
AUTO  
If the first page of a print job is black and  
white, the printer runs at 32ppm (pages  
per minute). When a colour page is  
detected the printer slows down to 26ppm  
for the rest of that job.  
NORMAL SPEED  
This setting operates in the same way as  
AUTO SPEED, except that the printer runs  
at 32ppm until a colour page is detected.  
To achieve this speed the printer requires  
an additional time to warm up and cool  
down when switching to 26ppm for colour  
pages. This setting is therefore most  
appropriate when the majority of print  
jobs are entirely black and white.  
COLOR SPEED  
The printer runs at 26ppm for all print  
jobs. This setting is most appropriate  
when the majority of print jobs are in  
colour.

TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT  
CAUTION!  
To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor  
errors, do not change the toner cartridge(s) until  
“TONER EMPTY” is displayed.  
The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder. It is  
contained in four cartridges: one each for cyan, magenta, yellow  
and black.  
Have a sheet of paper handy so that you have somewhere to  
place the used cartridge while you install the new one.

Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly, inside the pack that the  
new one came in. Follow any regulations, recommendations, etc.,  
which may be in force concerning waste recycling.  
If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not  
enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue.  
Do not use hot water, and never use solvents of any kind. They  
will make stains permanent.  
WARNING!  
If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a  
little water or bathe your eyes liberally in cold water.  
Seek medical attention immediately.  
Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about  
10 minutes before opening the cover.  
1.  
Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover  
fully.  
WARNING!  
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser may be

INSTALLING UPGRADES  
This section explains how to install optional equipment into your  
printer. This includes:  
> duplex (two-sided printing) unit;  
> additional paper tray  
> cabinet  
DUPLEX UNIT  
The duplex unit adds the function of two-sided printing, using  
less paper and making large documents easier to handle. It also  
enables booklet printing, which uses even less paper and makes  
large documents even easier to handle.  
The duplex unit slides straight into the rear of the printer and  
requires no tools to install.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Unpack the new unit and remove any transit material  
from it.  
Switch the printer off. It is not necessary to disconnect  
the AC power cable.  
Ensure that the unit is the right way up, as shown, and  
push it into the slot behind the rear panel. The panel will  
swing inwards as you push the unit into it. Push the unit  
all the way in until it stops and latches home.  
4.  
Switch the printer on and wait for it to warm up (about  
1 minute).

ADJUSTING WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVERS  
Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to  
update the Windows printer driver so that the additional features  
are available to your Windows applications.  
Remember that if your printer is shared between users on  
different computers, the driver must be adjusted on each user’s  
machine.  
The illustrations shown here are for Windows XP. Other Windows  
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the  
same.  
If you have installed a memory upgrade it is not necessary to  
change the printer driver, and you can ignore this section.  
If you have installed a duplex unit, proceed as follows:  
1.  
Open the Printers window  
(called “Printers and Faxes” in  
Windows XP) via the Start Menu  
or from the Windows Control  
Panel.  
2.  
Right-click the printer icon for  
this printer, and choose  
Properties from the pop-up  
menu.  
3.  
4.  
On the Device Options tab,  
check the box for the upgrade  
you have just installed.  
Click OK to close the properties window, and then close  
the Printers window.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS  
Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on  
the use of print media, and you keep the media in good condition  
prior to use, your printer should give years of reliable service.  
However, paper jams occasionally do occur, and this section  
explains how to clear them quickly and simply.  
Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at  
any point on the paper path through the printer. When a jam  
occurs, the printer immediately stops, and the Alert LED on the  
Status Panel (together with the Status Monitor) informs you of  
the event. If printing multiple pages (or copies), do not assume  
that, having cleared an obvious sheet, others will not also be  
stopped somewhere along the path. These must also be removed  
in order to clear the jam fully and restore normal operation.
