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 g/m²)

• Xerox

• Oki

52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US Bond

(120 g/m

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.

Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US Bond (90

4024, 20 lb.US Bond (75 g/m²)

)

• 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.

ES 1220n Media Recommendations • 12

Page 13

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.

ES 1220n Media Recommendations • 13

Page 14

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/m 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

Page 27

• 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

Page 28

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 such as Microsoft

may display color differently from "office" applications

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.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 28

Page 29

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

Page 30

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 ICCProfiles 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.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 30

Page 31

Oki Driver Options

This section describes only the OKI-supplied driver selections.

Color Option

1. To access Color Option, first select your desired printer from an application using File → Print.

2. Then open the drop-down menu directly underneath the printer and select Color Option.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 31

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.

1. Select the option desired.

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.

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.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 33

Page 34

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.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.x Operation • 34

Page 35

Color Simulation

This 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.

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.

Glossy

This option uses more CMYK and less Black while producing a shinier black.

Matte

This option uses more Black and less CMYK while producing a flatter black.

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.

Factors that affect the appearance of prints

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

Page 63

the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors displayed on screen.

Viewing conditions

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

Page 64

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

Page 65

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.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 65

Page 66

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

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.

ES 1220n Macintosh OS X Operation • 66

Page 67

RGB or CMYK

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.

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 ICCProfiles 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.
