FEATURES

• Single pass digital technology for high quality, speed and reliability.

• Duplex printing for fast reliable two-sided output (standard on C9300dxn and C9500dxn, optional on other models).

• High capacity 10Gb hard disk drive (standard on dxn models, optional on others).

• 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 (optional on models C7100 and C7300).

• Environmentally friendly: the advanced power save mode minimizes power consumption and the separate toner and drum design cuts down on waste.

• 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 “C9300/C9500 Handy

Reference Guide” or check http://my.okidata.com.

• 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.

C9300/C9500 Setting up • 37

Page 38

Envelopes

• Use only recommended envelopes (OKI 52206301 and

52206302): see page 417.

• 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 “C9300/C9500 Handy

Reference Guide” or check http://my.okidata.com.

• 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).

Printer Drivers

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

You can also go to http://my.okidata.com to view and/or download a copy of the Software Installation Guide or for the latest information on drivers for your printer.

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.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT COLOR PRINTING

The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several controls for changing the color output. For general use the default driver settings 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.

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

C9300/C9500 Operation • 97

Page 98

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.

Printer driver color settings

The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a document. There are several options available to help match the printed colors with those displayed on screen. These options are explained in subsequent sections of this User Manual.

Monitor settings

The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change how your document looks on-screen. 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*

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

C9300/C9500 Operation • 98

Page 99

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 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.

C9300/C9500 Operation • 99

Page 100

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD

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, 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 makes 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 (see page 106) is a generally a good choice. Select a matching method appropriate to your monitor.
