AirPrint®
AirPrint is a wireless technology that allows you to print from
your iPhone
installing a printer driver. AirPrint can be used with Apple
devices running iOS 4.2 or later.
Your OKI printer comes with AirPrint configured ON and ready to
work once it is connected to your network.
Setup Requirements
To use AirPrint from your mobile device, you must be connected
using Wi-Fi to the network your printer is connected to. Your
printer can be connected to the wireless access point using either
a wireless or wired connection.
Printing from your Apple iOS Device
Most applications on your iOS device that allow printing will allow
you to use AirPrint. For example, if you would like to print the
currently displayed web page using Safari, press the Action
button and then the Print button. You will see the Printer Options
dialog. Press the Printer button to select the desired printer from
the list of AirPrint printers that were automatically discovered by
your device. Then press the Print button to print the desired
page.
Depending on features supported by the selected printer, you
may also see options for selecting the number of copies or
double-sided printing.

, iPod touch®, iPad®, or other iOS device without

Security
If you attempt to print a page and you receive a notification that
says “Password required for…”, this means your network
administrator has configured the printer to require a User ID and
password in order to use this printer. Enter your User ID and
password and press OK to print your document. Both User ID and
password are case sensitive. After you have entered a correct
User ID and password, your device will remember them so you
will not have to enter them again for additional prints.
B710, B720, B730 User’s Guide > 16
User Controls
Your administrator may have established a list of authorized
users for printing. Only these users will be allowed to print. If this
feature is not in use and thus there are no authorized users, then
the printer will allow any user to print as it does prior to the
addition of the AirPrint User Control feature. Further, the
printer’s admin website will allow the admin to enable/disable the
User Control feature.

Paper Exit Paths
Before sending a job to the printer, make sure you have the
correct exit path engaged.
Top Exit Path
The default path is the top exit bin (1).
Printed pages exit face down.
B710, B720, B730 User’s Guide > 18
The Rear Exit Path
Always use the rear exit path for special media such as labels,
card stock, envelopes, etc. This provides the straight-through
path needed to prevent curling and jams.
Printed documents exit face up.
To use the rear exit, be sure the exit lever (1) is pushed up and
the extension tray (2) is pul le d out .
See page 27 for more information.

B710, B720, B730 User’s Guide > 25
Configuring Custom Sizes
To print on custom size paper loaded in trays 1 to 4, you must
set the paper size on the control panel. Use the Menu to set Auto-
Sense OFF and then set Custom Size for the intended tray.
You may also need to set it in the printer driver, depending on
the paper size. See the description of Express Print for an easy way to
print on various Custom Sizes.
Caution!
When setting the paper size in the printer driver and control
panel, be sure to specify the same size as the actual paper
used. Setting the wrong size for printing will cause printer failure. This is especially true if you configure a bigger size
when using a narrow width paper.
Note
To return to standard paper size settings, select [Auto]. The
printer will automatically detect the size and orientation of
the loaded paper.
