P

RINT MEDIA

Print media that can be used with your printer includes standard
copier bond paper, certain types of envelope and certain types of
transparency.

P

APER

The best type of paper to choose is standard 80-90g/m² bond
paper designed for use in plain paper copiers and laser type
printers. Pre-printed stationery, such as letterhead paper can
also be used as long as the pre-printed parts can withstand a
combination of heat and pressure. Experience will determine the
suitability or otherwise of particular pre-printed stationery.

Avoid using paper that is damaged in any way, such as folded,
perforated, torn or stapled sheets, and avoid feeding the same
sheet twice to print on both sides. Also avoid using very glossy or
heavily embossed paper.

If the printed page shows signs of fading, streaking or erratic
marks, the problem may be cleared by generating a drum
cleaning page as follows:

1. Start the Status Monitor for the printer.

2. Select the Printer Setup tab and click on the Printer
Menu button.

3. Select the Test Print tab and click on the Cleaning button.

4. Using the Manual Feed Tray insert a sheet of A4 plain

paper between the paper guides, then click the OK
button.

5. The printer grips the paper and prints a cleaning page.

6. If subsequent printing appears faded or uneven, try

replacing the toner cartridge.

Store paper flat and sealed in its original wrapping until required
for use. Paper left out tends to absorb moisture from the air. This
makes it prone to curling and also less able to retain a permanent
image.

Print media > 8

The paper tray can hold up to about 150 sheets of standard bond
paper. The manual feeder takes just one sheet at a time. Take
just enough paper from its wrapping, fan the stack to ensure all
sheets are separated from each other, then tap the stack flush
again before loading.

Load pre-printed stationery top edge first and face down into the
paper tray or face up into the manual feeder.

If plain paper seems to curl excessively during the print process,
try turning the stack over in the input tray. You may have been
printing on the wrong side.

L

OADING PAPER IN THE TRAY

1. Remove up to 150 sheets from their wrapping and

carefully reseal the wrapping to preserve the rest of your
paper in good condition.

2. Fan the paper stack to ensure all sheets are properly
separated, then tap the stack flush again before loading.

3. Raise the paper tray cover.

4. Adjust guides to width of paper stack. They should just

touch the sides of the stack but not grip it tightly.

Print media > 9

5. Slide the paper stack fully into the tray as far as it will go,
print side downwards, top edge into the printer, and
ensure the guides just touch each side of the stack.

6. Close the tray cover.

L

OADING PAPER IN THE MANUAL FEEDER

1. In your computer’s Print dialogue, click the printer

[Properties] button to display the Printing Preferences
dialogue.

2. On the Setup tab, choose the correct size for your paper,
set the source to [Manual] (you can click on the manual
feeder in the printer graphic if you prefer).

3. On the Job Options tab, set the correct Orientation for
your document. [Landscape] rotates the page image 90°
left.

4. Click [OK] to close the Printing Preferences dialogue
and click [OK] to close the Print dialogue and print the
document.

The paper feed light will flash, prompting you to load the
paper. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper.
They should lightly touch each side edge of the paper but
not grip it tightly.

Print media > 10

5. Load the sheet to be printed, top edge first, print side up,
into the feeder and push it gently until you feel slight
resistance. The printer will advance the paper a short
distance and retain it and the Load Paper light will stop
flashing.

When the page image has been processed the paper will be
drawn into the printer and your printed page will be ejected
into the output tray.

NOTE
Pages are ejected face up. For multipage documents you may
want to choose reverse print order in your print dialogue if
your application offers it.

T

RANSPARENCIES AND LABELS

Choose transparencies designed for use in plain paper
monochrome copiers, as they are required to withstand high
temperature and pressure. These usually have a print side which
feels slightly rougher (matt finish) than the back, which is a little
more glossy.

CAUTION!

Do not use transparencies designed only for hand
marking on an overhead projector. These will melt
inside the printer and cause serious damage.

Transparencies tend to feed more reliably in the manual feeder
than when stacked in the input tray.

Choose sheets of labels designed for use in laser type printers or
copiers. The labels should cover the entire sheet, leaving no part
of the backing sheet exposed, otherwise they will tend to peel off
inside the printer.

L

OADING TRANSPARENCIES AND LABELS

It is recommended to use the manual feeder for this type of
media, as described earlier for paper.

Print media > 11

E

NVELOPES

Envelopes can be directly printed in this printer as long as you
choose suitable types. Avoid self sealing envelopes and those
with windows or metal clasps. Preferably choose envelopes with
rectangular flaps rather than triangular flaps.

L

OADING ENVELOPES IN THE MANUAL FEEDER

1. When creating your address document, format it to the

size of the envelope, remembering to set it to landscape
(wide) format for most envelopes. (Standard DL size
envelopes are 22cm wide by 11cm tall.)

2. In your computer’s Print dialogue, click the printer
[Properties] button to display the Printing Preferences
dialogue.

3. On the Setup tab, choose the correct size for your
envelope, Source to [Manual] (you can click on the
manual feeder in the printer graphic if you prefer), and set
the Weight to [Heavy].

4. On the Job Options tab, set the Orientation to
[Landscape] (if your envelopes are to print this way).

5. Click [OK] to close the Printing Preferences dialogue and
click [OK] to close the Print dialogue and print the
envelope.

The paper fed light will flash, prompting you to load the
envelope.

Print media > 12

6. Load the envelope, short edge first, print side up, flap
folded under and to the left, into the feeder and push it
gently until you feel slight resistance. The printer will
advance the envelope a short distance and retain it.

The sheet will be drawn into the printer and the printed
page will eject normally into the output tray.

P

RINT QUALITY ADJUSTMENTS

For most printing on standard bond paper the default (medium)
setting for paper thickness is appropriate. However, for printing
on other media it may be necessary to make temporary
adjustments.

The settings for various types of print media are given in the
following table:

WINDOWS MACINTOSH MEDIA WEIGHT

Heavy Heavy 105–120g/m²

Medium heavy Medium heavy Approx. 90–104g/m²

Medium Medium Approx. 75–89g/m²

Medium light Medium light Approx. 68–74g/m²

Light Light Approx. 60–67g/m²

A

DJUSTING YOUR PRINTER PREFERENCES

Changes you make in the Printing Preferences dialogue at
print time are temporary. When you quit from your application
the settings will return to their default values. Permanent
changes (new default values) are made using the Status Monitor
for Windows to adjust using the built in printer menus.

Alternatively, you can set new default values for printing
preferences for your PC only using the Printer’s Properties
dialogue from the Printers and Faxes window.

Print media > 13

C

LEARING PAPER JAMS

Occasionally it may be necessary to clear a sheet of paper that
has become jammed inside the printer. When this happens the
printer will stop immediately and the Error light will flash.

After the jam has been cleared and the top cover closed, the
printer will automatically reprint the lost page

WARNING!

If the printer has been printing for a while the fuser
unit will be hot. This unit is clearly marked with a
yellow warning label. Do not touch it!

1. Open the top cover and carefully remove the print

cartridge (image drum and toner cartridge together) as
illustrated.

Clearing paper jams > 14

2. If the paper was fed from the tray, pull the sheet as
illustrated below.

3. If the paper was feed from the manual feeder, pull the
sheet as follows.

4. Carefully reinstall the print cartridge, pressing down firmly
at both ends to ensure it is properly seated, and close the
top cover.

If the top cover will not close, the print cartridge is not
properly installed. Remove it and refit correctly.

Clearing paper jams > 15

S

ETTING PRINTING PREFERENCES

The Status Monitor for Windows provides access to many options
and enables the printer default settings to be changed to meet
your every day needs.

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 Status Monitor menus, and you print documents
from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will
override the printer’s default settings.

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 the Printing
Preferences dialogue. These settings are 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.

The Printing Preferences dialogue contains three tabs, which are
explained in the following sections.

1. Paper size should be the same as the page size of your
document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit
another size), and should also be the 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 the standard paper tray or manual feeder. You can
also click on the appropriate part of the screen graphic to
select your preferred tray.

3. Leave the weight as Printer Setting if using your normal
paper, or choose a specific setting for special media types.

4. A variety of document finishing options can be selected,
such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can
be 2 or 4) for printing scaled down pages at more than
one page per sheet.

5. 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.

6. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

1. Set the output resolution of the printed page to meet your
needs. If selected, toner saving uses less toner at the
expense of print quality.

2. Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or
landscape (wide). In landscape the page image is rotated
90 degrees to the left (e.g. for printing envelopes).

3. If Vector print mode is selected the internal printer fonts
may be used. Raster print mode downloads the page as a
bitmap image, which may be preferred if you use fonts
not resident in the printer.

4. 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.

5. Your printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller
stationery or the scaling function can be disabled by
checking the Disable checkbox.

6. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

the combination of dots used in printing. Selecting a
setting determines the degree of detail with which a
graphics image will be printed. Mesh determines that a
screen of dots is used for dithering while Line Art
determines that an array of lines is used for dithering.

2. Select dithering texture by setting the size of dots used in
the halftone screen.

3. Set this control to print greyscale effects in black without
dithering.

4. You can manually adjust lightness (the higher the setting
the lighter the print) and contrast (the higher the setting
the greater the contrast).

LED

S

INDICATORS

On the front panel of your printer are four LED indicators. The
upper-most LED is the Power ON/OFF indicator, and is
illuminated constantly whenever power is applied and switched
on. The other three lights have five conditions of illumination
depending on the printer’s current status:

1. OFF—Not illuminated.

2. ON—Constantly illuminated.

3. SLOW BLINK—Flashing slowly, approximately once every

four seconds.

4. MEDIUM BLINK—Flashing approximately once per
second.

5. FAST BLINK—Flashing very fast, approximately four
times per second (flickering).

TATUS MONITOR INDICATION

In most cases the Windows status monitor, installed along with
the printer driver software if you used the installer program on
the supplied CD, will tell you what the current printer status is.
You should first consult this. If the message does not help, then
the status LEDs on the front of your printer will provide a
secondary indication.

E

RROR INDICATIONS

The error LED is the bottom-most LED on the front of your
printer.

If your printer detects an error condition the error LED will
illuminate, either continuously or flashing. In this situation the
printer may refuse to print or stop printing in the middle of a job,
depending on the cause of the problem.

P

APER JAM

If the paper jams during printing the printer will stop immediately
and the error LED will flash at approximately 1-second intervals.
In this case the cause will be fairly obvious, since the jammed
sheet will be partially visible out of either the front or the top of
the printer. (See “Clearing paper jams” on page 14.)

LED indicators > 29

P

RINT CARTRIDGE MIS-INSTALLED

If the print cartridge (combination of image drum and toner
cartridge) is not located properly this will also cause the error
light to illuminate, and it will usually be impossible to latch the
top cover fully down. (See “Step 4” on page 15.)

T

ONER OR IMAGE DRUM CARTRIDGE INAPPROPRIATE

If you install either a toner cartridge or image drum unit that is
incompatible with your printer, the error LED will flash at
approximately 1-second intervals and the printer will not start.

LOW

TONER CONDITION

If the toner cartridge is out of toner the error LED will flash. In
this case you may be able to resume printing for a small number
of pages by opening and then closing the top cover. Note also
that this condition may be occur even after you have installed a
new toner cartridge if you forget to correctly position the
coloured toner lever when installing the toner cartridge. (See
instruction sheet supplied with new toner cartridge.)

O

THER POSSIBLE ERROR CONDITIONS

If your printer, or the printing preferences on your computer
specify a different paper size or media type than the one you are
using, this may cause an error condition to occur. (See “Setting

printing preferences” on page 16.)

If an error only occurs when trying to print one particular job, it
may be that the page contains corrupted data, or data that is too
complex for the amount of available printer memory. In this case
try to simplify the page content.

H

ARDWARE FAULT INDICATION

If your printer develops a hardware fault all three status LEDs will
flash fast (flicker approximately four times a second). In this case
you should contact your service representative or your Oki dealer
for advice and support.
