FEATURES

• Single pass digital technology for high quality, speed and

reliability.

• Duplex printing for fast reliable two-sided output (standard

on ES 3037e, optional on ES 3037).

• High capacity 10Gb hard disk drive (standard on ES

3037e, optional on ES 3037).

• Versatile paper handling:

– Standard 550-sheet (20-lb. paper) paper tray – Standard 100-sheet (20-lb. paper) multi-purpose tray for

paper, card stock, envelopes, labels, etc.

– Optional 550-sheet paper trays: up to two can be added to

expand the paper capacity to 1690 sheets.

– Optional High Capacity Feeder, mounted on casters, with

three 550-sheet trays expanding printer capacity by 1650 sheets (approx.).

•

Flexible interfaces with automatic switching:

–USB – High-speed, bi-directional parallel (IEEE-1284) – Industry standard network connectivity via internal network

interface card.

•

Environmentally friendly: the advanced power save mode

minimizes power consumption and the separate toner and

drum design cuts down on waste.

ES 3037/3037e Introduction • 16

Page 17

• Automatic color balance adjustment: in order to ensure

consistent output at all times, the machine automatically performs a color check when the machine is switched on, when the top cover is opened and then closed, and adjusts the color balance automatically. It can even be set to adjust the color balance during long print runs.

• Auto media detect: detects the weight of the media being

fed through the printer then automatically adjusts the fusing temperature, speed (if necessary) and transfer voltage to ensure correct fusing and print quality.

MEDIA RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend the following guidelines when selecting paper and envelopes for use in this printer:

CAUTION

Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second.

Paper

• For recommended papers see your Handy Reference

Guide.

• Paper should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct

sunlight and heat sources.

• Don’t use damp, damaged or curled paper.

• 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.

• Don’t use very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.

• Don’t use heavily embossed headed paper, very rough

paper or paper that has a large grain difference between the two sides.

• Don’t use paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged

edges.

• Don’t use carbon paper, NCR paper, photosensitive paper,

pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.

ES 3037/3037e Setting up • 48

Page 49

Envelopes

• Use only recommended envelopes (OKI 52206301 and

52206302): see page 472.

• 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 envelopes with self sealing flaps.

• Don’t use damp, damaged or curled paper envelopes.

Labels

• For recommended labels see your Handy Reference Guide.

• Use only labels designed for use in color laser printers and

photocopiers.

• Labels should cover entire carrier sheet.

• Carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any part

of the printer.

SETTING COLOR TUNING FROM THE FRONT PANEL

Important!

• In most cases, using Color Tuning is not necessary as the printer is optimized for color printing at its default settings.

• Once you change these settings, they remain in effect until you go back in and change them.

• To return the settings to the defaults, use the steps below to set each value back to 0 (zero).

You can use the printer’s menu to adjust the color intensity for a specific color by adjusting the HIGHLIGHT, MID-TONE and DARK (shadows) Color Tuning Patterns.

•

To increase the color intensity, use a higher positive setting (default = 0, maximum = +3).

• To decrease the color intensity, use a higher negative

setting (default = 0, maximum = -3).

ES 3037/3037e Setting up • 83

For example, to adjust the intensity of the magenta portion:

NOTE

When using the Print Job Accounting utility, you cannot print when "Local Print" is set to "No printing" or "No color printing."

INTERFACES

Your printer is equipped with a selection of data interfaces:

1. Parallel – For direct connection to a PC. This port requires a

bi-directional (IEEE 1284 compliant) parallel cable.

2. USB – For connection to a PC running Windows 98 or above

(not Windows 95 upgraded to Windows 98) or Macintosh. This port requires a cable conforming to USB version 1.1 or above.

• The operation of a printer is not assured if a USB compatible

device is connected concurrently with other USB-compatible machines.

• When connecting multiple printers of the same type, they

appear as *****, ***** (2), ***** (3), etc. These numbers depend on the order of connecting or turning on each printer..

NOTE

Administrator’s authority is required when installing a network connection.

Printer Drivers

See your printed Software Installation Guide for information on installing printer drivers.

WHICH PRINTER DRIVER TO USE?

Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and Adobe® PostScript Which driver you choose depends on your application.

• If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript

(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will be more efficient and give good results.

• If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript

graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their best

quality

(PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish.

NOTE

The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript. So if you plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low resolution.

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 print using the alternative driver whenever you need to.
