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.

Print Media_________________

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.

• Do not load paper exceeding the maximum fill line or the maximum capacity allowed.

8. Firmly close the lid of the paper tray and push the tray

completely into the printer.

Important!

If the lid is not firmly closed, the paper can become misaligned.

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.
