Safety instructions  
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of  
safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equip-  
ment, however, there are a few basic precautions that  
should be taken to avoid personal injury or damaging  
the printer:  
Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid  
of any kind into it.  
Make sure that the power source matches the rat-  
ing listed on the back of the printer. If you are not  
sure, check with your dealer or with your local  
power company.  
Read this setup guide carefully and save it for  
future reference.  
This printer has an earthed plug as a safety fea-  
ture and will only connect to an earthed outlet. If  
this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet,  
then it is possible that the power outlet is of the  
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to  
have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an  
adapter to defeat the earthing.  
Read and follow all warning and instruction  
labels on the printer itself.  
Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only  
a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol clean-  
ers to clean the printer.  
Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the  
printer is placed on something unsteady, it may  
fall and become damaged or injure someone. If  
the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a  
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked  
causing the printer to overheat.  
To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put  
anything on it or place it where it will be walked  
on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,  
replace it immediately.  
If an extension cable or power strip is being used  
with the printer, make sure that the total of the  
amperage rating required by all the equipment is  
less than the rating of the extension cable or  
power strip. The total ratings of all equipment  
Do not put the printer on or near a heat source,  
such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of  
direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the  
printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.

plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13  
amperes.  
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not  
working properly or has been damaged, disconnect the  
printer from the power source and contact your dealer.  
These are some of the things to look for:  
The power outlet into which the printer is con-  
nected must remain accessible at all times.  
The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.  
Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces.  
These are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.  
Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has  
been exposed to water.  
Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots  
on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a  
fire.  
The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is  
damaged.  
Aside from the routine maintenance described in  
the user’s guide, do not try to service the printer  
yourself. Opening a cover may expose you to  
shocks or other hazards.  
The printer does not function normally when fol-  
lowing the operating instructions.  
Do not make any adjustments other than those  
outlined in the user’s guide as damage may be  
caused to the printer.

Thick paper and other kinds of special printing media  
should be used in manual feed mode. The approximate  
thicknesses of paper that can be used in manual feed  
mode or automatic feed mode are as follows:  
When printing on Dye Sublimation Paper, use  
only Dye Sublimation ink cartridges. Be sure to  
confine your printing to the glossy printable area  
only. If you print outside this area, you may dam-  
age the ink cartridge.

Max.  
0.10mm (0.004")  
0.23mm (0.01")  
0.07mm (0.003")  
0.07mm (0.003")  
When printing on a thick sheet, or an irregular  
postcard-size sheet allow a 1/2 inch (12 mm)  
margin on the left and right side to prevent print-  
ing over the paper edge, this could result in tear-  
ing the ink cartridge ribbon.  
Manual  
Caution:  
Never use paper in the sheet feeder with thickness outside  
the range 0.07 mm - 0.10 mm (0.003" - 0.004") in  
automatic feed mode. In manual feed mode, never use  
paper whose thickness is outside the range 0.07 mm - 0.23  
mm (0.003" - 0.01"). Doing so may cause paper jams or  
damage to the printer.  
When printing on used sheets (already printed on  
the same side), use manual feed only. Automatic  
feed may not feed used sheets properly. When  
using manual feed, avoid repeatedly inserting and  
removing the same sheet.  
Paper jams can be caused by feeding in paper that is ex-  
tremely smooth or shiny, too rough, or paper that easily  
picks up static electricity. Paper jams and other paper  
feed problems can tear the ribbons in ink cartridges.  
Loading paper in automatic feed mode  
Use automatic feed mode for continuous printing.  
There are two methods for loading paper, depending on  
the media.  
To avoid such problems, please note the following pre-  
cautions:  
Always use the recommended paper types, and  
be sure to set the printer’s paper options properly.  
Settings that are not appropriate for the paper  
being used can cause paper jams.

Note 1:  
If the four ink cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, and

Note 2:  
See Chapter 2, ‘Initial Setup’, for information on  
installing ink cartridges.  
2. Select DP-5000 Monitor-D50 from the list dis-  
played, and then click Select.  
Note:  
Setting up colour matching option  
The D50 in the profile indicates the colour temperature  
of the monitor. Most monitors are set to a colour tem-  
perature of D93 (9300K). However, CIE sets a colour  
temperature of D50 (5000K) as a reference for colour  
reproduction based on the human colour sense under a  
standard light source. The ColorSync™ profile of this  
printer conforms to this standard.  
The printer has the following colour-matching options:  
1. OKI DP-5000 Driver mode - This mode provides  
unique OKI colour matching. It is the default  
mode for colour printing.  
2. ColorSync mode - When ColorSync is selected,  
the printer performs colour management using  
ColorSync™, which is part of the Macintosh sys-  
tem software.  
3. Set the Monitor’s Colour Temperature. Since the  
ColorSync profile is set to DP-5000 Monitor-  
D50, the printer and monitor colours will not  
match unless the colour temperature of your mon-  
itor is set at D50. To set the monitor’s colour tem-

After the settings have been completed, click OK.  
Note 1:  
Note:  
Some monitors do not allow the colour temperature to  
be changed. In this case, open Monitor & Sound in  
Control Panels and set the Gamma option to Page-  
White Gamma, which provides a colour temperature  
similar to D50.  
When printing a photograph, it is advisable to turn on  
the Darker Black option. The darkness graduation will  
then be smoothed because black will be expressed by  
all four colours .

the reverse side of paper. The Print On Reverse Side  
option skips the paper curl reforming process for best  
printing results.

Printing in foil colour  
Foil colour printing is one of the unique features of the  
OKI DP-5000 printer. The printer driver allows you to  
select specific colours or colour components that will  
be replaced by foil colours and black ink when printing.  
Single foil colour printing (without halftone) -  
Foil colour printing using a single colour (gold or  
silver).  
Multi foil colour printing - Foil colour printing  
using two colours (gold and silver).  
You can print with up to two foil colours, (or two foil  
colours plus black) from most applications that allow  
colour specification. Moreover, because foil inks are  
opaque, foil colour printing is unaffected by the colour  
of the underlying paper. As a result, you can print on  
coloured plain paper.  
Full colour plus foil colour printing - Simultane-  
ous full colour and foil colour printing.  
Single foil colour printing  
Single foil colour printing uses just one foil colour.  
Only the foil colour to be used is installed in the printer.  
This method of printing is used when an entire image  
(including grayscale images) or document is going to  
be printed in a single foil colour. Single foil colour  
printing can be used even when the application you are  
using does not allow designation of colour components.  
Note 1:  
Special colour ink is used for foil colour printing.  
Therefore, undercoat must be applied using cyan,  
magenta, yellow, and black inks before printing Foil  
Colour.  
Note 2:  
Depending on the font type, size or paper type, foil col-  
our ink may not always be well applied.  
The following types of foil colour printing are possible  
depending on the number of ink cartridges used.

release lever, and gently remove the paper. Make  
sure there are no pieces of the paper left in the  
printer.  
To store all the print output, an enormous  
amount of spool data (held in a temporary  
file for printing) is generated during colour  
multipage printing. As a result, the number  
of sheets of paper that can be continuously  
printed will be limited if there is insufficient  
free space on the hard disk.

cartridge. After replacing the ink cartridge, print-  
ing will continue from where it left off.  
With bi-directional interfaces, operation is some-  
times unreliable when using printer switching  
boxes or printer buffers. If you are using a printer  
selection switching box or printer buffer, use one-  
way communication.  
14 Do you have enough hard disk space?  
The DP-5000 requires work space on the hard  
disk when it prints. Keep enough space open on  
the disk for the printer to operate (after printing,  
the work space is released.)  
10 Is your cable too long?  
15 Does the hard disk have areas where reading or  
writing are unreliable?  
Do not use a cable that is longer than you need.  
The signals become more unstable as the cable  
gets longer.  
If there are areas on the hard disk where reading  
or writing are unreliable, sometimes a printing  
error will occur and printing will stop. Periodi-  
cally use a utility like SCANDISK that comes  
with MS-DOS 6.0 (or later) or Windows 95/98 to  
prevent these problems.  
11 Are you using the wrong ink cartridges?  
Use only the recommended ink cartridges. Do not  
use ink cartridges from other manufacturers.  
12 Are the ink cartridges correctly installed?  
Printing is light, distorted, or has gaps  
Insert ink cartridges in the carriage with the iden-  
tification markings (B side) face up. This applies  
to all ink cartridges except the reversible types :  
Econo Black and Finish II.

Is the ink cartridge head dirty?  
6
Are you printing images with sudden colour  
variations or very bright colours?  
Clean the cartridge head by refering to Chapter 5,  
Maintaining the Printer. The platen often gets  
dirty at the same time as the head, so it is recom-  
mended to also clean the platen.  
In these situations, the overlap of different col-  
ours of ink can degrade the quality of the image.  
Reducing the amount of halftoning can reduce  
this effect. Use a halftone option appropriate for  
the image.  
Is the platen dirty?  
Clean the platen by refering to Chapter 5, Main-  
taining the Printer. If cleaning the head and the  
platen does not work, contact the supplier from  
where you purchased the printer.  
7
Are you printing on envelopes, thermal paper, or  
picture cards?  
Printing is unreliable on envelopes and other sur-  
faces which have a non-uniform thickness. Print-  
ing and feeding of thermal paper is unreliable.  
The paper side of picture cards may be printed on  
if the surface is smooth and the card thickness is  
0.23 mm (0.01") or less, but printing on the photo  
side is unreliable.  
Are you using the correct ink cartridge for the  
chosen printing medium?  
Use only OKI ink cartridges for the DP-5000  
printer. When printing in colour on the glossy  
side of a greeting card, use only metallic ink car-  
tridges.  
8
Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?  
5
Are you printing on a rough or special surface (such  
as overhead transparency film)?  
With both VPhoto Print Film and Dye Sublima-  
tion Paper, printing should take place on the  
glossy side. Take care not to print on back of the  
paper, particularly with Dye Sublimation paper,  
while using the Dye Sub ink cartridges as the rib-  
bons in the cartridges may break.  
Rough or specially treated surfaces may not allow  
the ink to adhere well, resulting in gaps or distor-  
tions. In such a case, use a halftone setting appro-  
priate for the image.

Do you have enough disk space?  
Make sure there is enough space on your hard  
disk, (the working space is released once printing  
is finished.)  
Is the free space on the hard disk fragmented?  
Is the application set for colour printing? Does the  
application support colour printing?

Are you using paper which is thicker or thinner  
than recommended?  
Use paper within the range 0.07 mm - 0.23 mm

Are you using poor quality paper?  
Paper that is folded, ripped or has holes, such as  
loose leaf binder or refill paper, can cause paper  
jams and should not be used.  
Is there too much paper in the sheet feeder?  
The sheet feeder can hold up to 100 sheets of  
plain paper, any more than this may cause a paper  
jam.  
Are you using curled paper?  
This will cause paper jams. The paper should be  
curled the opposite way to flatten it out before it  
is used.

Is the paper feed switch positioned correctly for the  
paper feed method?  
To print on plain paper using automatic feed  
mode, set the paper feed switch to position A”;  
to print in manual feed mode, set it to position  
“M”.  
Are you using paper with folded or cut corners?  
This can cause problems since the paper position  
sensor and paper length sensor do not work prop-  
erly. Sheets with corner cuts, such as transparen-

When these sheets are inserted with the cut corner  
incorrectly positioned, they may not feed cor-  
rectly. Follow the instructions and insert the  
sheets correctly.  
Paper must be riffled several times prior to being  
loaded into the sheet feeder. If not, sheets of

Can all four colours of the colour inks be  
combined for black and white printing?  
There seems to be no difference between  
photographic output using monochrome printing at  
‘Fine’ and images obtained by monochrome  
printing at ‘Standard’.  
If Darker Black is set in colour printing or if the  
brightness and contrast settings are correct, 4-col-  
our black is possible. To print only with black,  
turn off Darker Black, and return the Image set-  
ting under Image Settings to default.  
When monochrome printing in Fine, only the  
characters can be printed at 1200 dpi. This is  
done by smoothing the 600 dpi images. The qual-  
ity of photographs, however, differs little from  
that of images obtained by monochrome printing  
at Standard.  
For monochrome printing, select Greyscale  
under Document Type.

When coloured paper is used for full colour  
printing, the colours are not reproduced correctly.  
a
As with foil ink, white ink is effective for  
spot colour printing on dark-coloured paper.  
Colour printing is based on the colours repro-  
duced when ink is printed on white paper, so cor-  
rect colours cannot be reproduced on coloured  
paper. DP printers, however, can provide the fol-  
lowing forms of printing even on coloured paper:

White ink can provide an undercoat for full  
colour printing on light-coloured or coarse-  
surfaced paper. The white undercoat will

Is it OK to print using white ink on top of a full  
colour image?  
Since your printer switcher may not support bi-  
directional communication, use a uni-directional  
interface setting.  
This can cause unsatisfactory results. Print the  
white ink before using other ink colours.  
2
I would like to use multiple printer ports for  
connections.  
For full colour printing and glossy finish, may I use  
any type of paper?  
If the computer is AT-compatible, up to three  
ports (LPT1 to LPT3) can be used, as long as they  
are parallel ports.  
We suggest using High Grade Paper for full col-  
our printing and glossy finish. Using other types  
of paper can produce a poor image. Although  
using our VPhoto Primer can help make many  
plain papers suitable for full-colour printing.

When my display is set for 64,000 or 16,700,000  
colours, I run out of memory when printing.

Why can I not print correctly with page layout  
settings?  
Windows runs out of memory when there are too  
many display colours. Change to 256 colours  
when printing. Changing the display mode does  
not change the print results.  
There are application programs that allow you to  
format a document composed of both orientations  
of portrait and landscape. When printing such  
document with layout (more than 2 pages per  
sheet), it may not print properly.

When I print from Notepad in Windows, the left

Why can I not print spot colour using the Metallics  
& CMYK option?  
This happens whenever you print from Notepad  
at 600 dpi or more. Switch to 300 dpi or use a dif-  
ferent application.  
You cannot print text larger than 32pt in spot col-  
our. In some application programs, you cannot  
print in spot colour if the text is rotated or  
reshaped.  
When I print many sheets continuously, small  
vertical lines appear on the right side of the page.  
When printing for long periods of time, the print  
head retains heat, and ink can attach to the paper  
in places other than just the printing area. After  
printing 30 sheets of Letter/A4 sized pages in  
monochrome or 8 Letter/A4 sheets in colour, let  
the printer cool down before continuing printing.  
5
How can I reduce or enlarge my document?  
The printer driver software allows you to scale  
printing. Specify your scaling factor (25 - 400%)  
in the Reduce or Enlarge option of your printer  
driver software.

defragment the disk by periodically using a  
defragment utility.  
If there are areas on the hard disk where reading  
or writing are unreliable, sometimes a printing  
error will occur and printing will stop. Periodi-  
cally use the Disk First Aid utility that comes  
with your system software (or other commercial  
disk checking utility) to prevent these problems.

Is enough memory allocated?  
port colour printing. Read the manual for the  
application and check the colour settings.  
Colour printing may not be possible if the mem-  
ory allocated to the application is insufficient.  
Allocate more memory to the application.  
8
Are you using many applications at one time?  
When very little memory is available for print  
processing, printing may take a long time or fail.  
Close as many applications as possible and try  
again.  
Are you using memory management tools or virtual  
memory?  
When you are using memory management tools  
such as RAM Doubler or virtual memory, mem-  
ory may not be correctly recognised for colour  
printing.  
Printing is light, distorted, or has gaps  
1
Has one of the ribbons separated from the  
head?  
If colour printing is not working, try disabling  
these utilities and try again.  
Stop the printing and reinstall all the cartridges.  
Take up any slack in the ribbons. If a particular  
cartridge repeatedly causes problems, try a differ-  
ent cartridge.  
6
Do you have enough disk space?  
Make sure there is enough empty space on your  
hard disk. (The working space is released once  
printing is finished.)  
2
Is the head dirty or is there an obstruction on the  
print head?  
When there is just barely enough working space  
left on the disk, printing may take much longer  
than normal.  
Clean the head by following the directions in  
Chapter 5. If anything is stuck to the print head,  
remove it, being careful not to damage the head.  
The platen often gets dirty at the same time as the  
head, so it is recommended that you clean the  
platen after cleaning the head.

Is the application set for colour printing? Does the  
application support colour printing?  
Some applications have colour printing enable/

Are you printing on envelopes, thermal paper, or  
picture postcards?  
Clean the platen by following the directions in  
Chapter 5. If anything is stuck to the platen,  
remove it, being careful not to damage the platen.  
Printing is unreliable on envelopes and other sur-  
faces which have a non-uniform thickness. Print-  
ing and feeding of thermal paper is unreliable.  
The back side of picture postcards may be printed  
on if the surface is smooth and the card thickness  
is 0.23 mm (0.01") or less, but printing on the  
photo side is unreliable.  
If cleaning the head and the platen does not work,  
contact the supplier from where you purchased  
the printer.

Are you using the correct cartridges for the chosen  
printing medium?

8
Are you printing in colour on the glossy side of a  
greeting card?  
Use only OKI cartridges for the DP-5000 printer.  
When printing transparencies, use only recom-  
mended Overhead Projector Transparency Film  
(A4).  
The glossy side of a greeting card can only be  
printed on using metallic cartridges.  
Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?  
With both VPhoto Print Film and Dye Sub Paper,  
printing should take place on the glossy side. Par-  
ticularly with Dye Sub Paper, take care not to  
print on back of the sheet while using Dye Sub  
ink cartridges. The ribbons in the cartridges may  
break.  
Are you printing images with many sudden colour  
variations or very bright colours?  
In these situations, the overlap of different col-  
ours of ink can degrade the quality of the image.  
Try changing the Halftone option in the Image  
Settings dialogue box from Fine to Standard.  
Use a Blends option appropriate for the image.

Is the cut corner in the correct position?  
Paper is not feeding or ejecting correctly from  
the sheet feeder  
When these sheets are inserted with the cut corner  
incorrectly positioned, they may not feed cor-  
rectly.  
1
Are you using paper which is thicker or thinner  
than recommended?  
Use paper within the range 0.07 mm - 0.23 mm  
(0.003" - 0.01"). For auto feeding use paper in the  
range 0.07 mm - 0.1 mm (0.003" - 0.004").

7
Is the paper feed guide too narrow for the paper?  
The paper feed guide should hold the paper  
loosely enough so that it can feed easily.  
2
3
4
Are you using poor quality paper?  
Is there too much paper in the sheet feeder?  
Paper that is folded, ripped or has holes, such as  
loose leaf binder or refill paper, can cause paper  
jams and should not be used.  
The sheet feeder can hold up to 100 sheets of  
plain paper, or 30 transparencies, any more than  
this may cause a paper jam.  
Are you using curled paper?  
8
9
Is the paper feed switch positioned correctly for the  
paper feed method?  
This will cause paper jams. The paper should be  
curled the opposite way to flatten it out before it  
is used.  
To print on plain paper using automatic feed  
mode, set the paper feed switch to position “A”;  
to print in manual feed mode, set it to position  
“M”.  
Are you using paper with folded or cut corners?  
This can cause problems since the paper position  
sensor and paper length sensor do not work prop-  
erly. Sheets with corner cuts, such as transparen-  
cies and back print film, will work fine if the  
corner cut end is placed at the top of the paper  
guide.  
Are you printing on envelopes, thermal paper, or  
picture postcards?  
Correct printing and feeding of envelopes and  
thermal paper cannot be guaranteed. The back  
side of picture postcards can be used if the card is  
less than 0.23 mm (0.01") thick and manual feed

10 Are you using home-made cards or thick cards?  
Cards with thickness within the range of 0.07 mm  
- 0.23 mm (0.003" - 0.01") can be used in manual  
feed mode.  
Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction for details on  
removing packing material.

Has the packing tape been removed?  
11 Are there pages piled up near the output slot or in  
the output paper tray?  
There are two pieces of tape on the front of the  
printer that help protect the printer during ship-  
ping. Gently remove the tape before using the  
printer.  
When printed material obstructs the paper output  
slot, the paper feed and paper output may not

cartridge holder?  
Open the front cover and make sure the cartridges  
are correctly installed.  
Paper must be riffled several times prior to being  
loaded into the sheet feeder. If not, sheets of  
paper may stick to one another and cause multiple  
sheets to feed into the printer at the same time, or  
other forms of misfeed.  
Is there a paper jam?  
Clear a paper jam by refering to ‘Clearing Paper  
Jams’ in this Chapter. Occasionally a small piece  
of paper will tear off and remain in the printer. If  
this happens, hold the release lever down and use  
a thick piece of paper to remove the small piece  
of paper.

Is there an obstruction in front of the paper output  
slot?  
A mechanism or cartridge change error occurred  
1
Are the cartridges installed correctly?  
If the paper output slot is obstructed, paper  
ejected from the printer can fold or bend and  
cause the printer to malfunction. When printing,  
make sure that the paper output slot is unob-  
structed and that there is room for paper to be  
ejected.  
If a cartridge has become dislodged from its  
holder, a cartridge change error will occur. Open  
the front cover and reinstall the cartridge.

Are you using the printer on a level surface?  
The printer will not operate correctly on a slanted  
surface. Place it on a level, stable surface.  
Ink cartridges are not correctly recognised  
Is the printer in a place where it is subject to  
movement?  
1
Is the bar code on the cartridge dirty?  
Clean the bar code.  
Various movements such as bumps and vibrations  
can cause mechanical problems. Place the printer  
in an environment where it will not be subject to  
movement.  
2
Is the cartridge installed in the holder with the (A)  
side up?  
Make sure the cartridges are placed in the holder  
with the identification markings (B side) facing  
up.

There seems to be no difference between  
photographic output using monochrome printing set  
to Fine and images obtained by monochrome  
printing set to Standard.  
Printing quality, hue, and resolution queries  
1
Can all four colours of the colour inks be  
combined for black and white printing?  
In colour printing mode, greyscale portions are  
printed using a four-colour greyscale. Black char-  
acters are also printed using a mixture of the four  
colours, if brightness is adjusted. To print mono-  
chrome portions in black only, adjust the bright-  
ness to 0%. To subject the overall image to  
monochrome printing, set the Type Settings to  
Black & White.  
With monochrome printing set to Fine, only the  
characters can be printed at Fine. This is done by  
smoothing the Standard images. The quality of  
photographs, however, differs little from that of  
images obtained by monochrome printing set to  
Standard.

When plain or other coarse-surfaced paper is  
printed in colour, ink is missing from a number of  
points on the image.

Black is printed with black ink, but grey portions  
are printed using four colours.  
When paper with a coarse surface is used for full  
colour printing, ink will be missing from certain  
points where it was difficult to deposit. To correct  
this, you can attempt the following:  
In colour printing, greyscale intermediate colours  
(such as grey) are printed using four colours. If  
you want to print only in black ink, set the Type  
setting in the Print dialogue box to Greyscale.  
a
Set the Halftone setting in the Image Setting  
dialogue to Standard for printing. The  
image will be coarse, but the ink will trans-  
fer to the paper more reliably.  
I would like to adjust the image quality of  
photographs without reducing character resolution.  
Characters always print at the currently selected  
resolution (if an outline font is used). The image  
quality of photographs can be adjusted independ-  
ently using the Halftone setting in the Image Set-  
ting dialogue box.

If you have VPhoto Primer ink, the image  
quality may be improved by providing an  
undercoat.

When coloured paper is used for full colour  
printing, the colours are not reproduced correctly.  
improve image quality and colour reproduc-  
tion.  
Colour printing is based upon the ink being  
printed on a white background, so correct colours  
cannot be reproduced on coloured paper. DP  
printers, however, can provide the following  
forms of printing even on coloured paper.  
2
Can I print on overhead transparencies using foil  
cartridges?  
Printing is possible, but the foil ink is not trans-  
parent.  
a
On light-coloured paper, DP printers pro-  
vide a white undercoat prior to colour print-  
ing. This allows colours to be reproduced in  
tones close to those obtained by printing on  
white paper.

Can I use the Dye Sub Overcoat cartridge for Glossy  
finishing?  
No. Always use the Finish II cartridge.  
Is it OK to print using the white ink on top of a full  
colour image?  
b
On dark-coloured paper, impressive finish-  
ing may be obtained by using monochrome  
printing with white ink.  
This can cause unsatisfactory results. Print the  
white ink before using other ink colours.

For full colour printing and glossy finishing, may I  
use any type of paper?  
Ink and paper  
How should I use white ink?  
White ink can be used as follows:

We suggest using High Grade Paper for full col-  
our printing. Using other types of paper can pro-  
duce a poor image. Using our VPhoto Primer will  
help make many plain papers suitable for full-col-  
our printing.

Can I connect a single DP printer to multiple  
computers?  
How do I uninstall the printer driver?  
No, the printer is not designed for this.  
Remove the DP-5000 printer driver from the  
Extensions folder in the System Folder, and  
remove the DP-5000 Preferences file from the  
Preferences folder. If you have installed the  
Queue Kit software, and you are not going to use  
it with other applications, remove the Queue  
Monitor and Queue Watcher files from the  
Extensions folder. Restart your computer.

Is this printer compatible with PostScript?  
The DP-5000 printer uses QuickDraw. It is not  
compatible with PostScript.  
2
EPS files cannot be output clearly.  
6
Can this printer be connected to Windows and  
Macintosh computers simultaneously?  
Since EPS files are data files for PostScript print-  
ers, images at 72 dpi may be output from Quick-  
Draw depending on the application.  
No, the parallel port and the SCSI port cannot be  
used at the same time. Connect a Macintosh com-  
puter to the printer using the Macintosh interface  
module, and connect a Windows computer with-  
out the module.

DP-5000 to print true continuous-tone images, without  
dots, through the magic of dye sublimation technology.  
The upgrade itself is as simple as plugging in the spe-  
cial electronic key and pressing a button. At the same

5000, and you can still print with other DP-5000 supply  
inks anytime you want.
