Installation requirements
Due to the complexity and requirement for parts alignment, this machine must be installed by a suitably
qualified Engineer unless the configuration being is installed is the printer unit and the 500-sheet multipurpose tray (B83MP) only.
Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following during initial installation and
whenever the machine is moved.
1. The machine should be installed near an
accessible power outlet for easy connection.
2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a
power outlet that meets the specified
voltage and current requirements. Also
make certain the outlet is properly
grounded.
3. Do not install your machine in areas that are:
● damp, humid, or dusty
● exposed to direct sunlight
● poorly ventilated
● subject to extreme temperature
or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
4. Be sure to allow the required space around
the machine for servicing and proper
30cm
ventilation.
80cm 60cm
60cm
A small amount of ozone is produced within the printer during operation. The emission level is
insufficient to cause any health hazard.
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m
3
) calculated as an
eight-hour time-weighted average concentration. However, since the small amount that is emitted may
have an objectionable odour, it is advisable to place the printer in a ventilated area.
Before you do anything please read this — 6
Moving the machine
Lift this machine at the positions shown in the illustration below and carry it horizontally.
>CAUTION
Two people are required to lift and carry this machine. The centre of gravity of the machine is slightly
to the left of the centre of the machine when viewed from the front. If a duplex module is installed the
centre of gravity will be even further shifted to the left. When lifting the machine be careful to steady it
to prevent it from toppling. Also be sure that all covers and the duplex module are securely closed and
latched before lifting.
If a duplex module is installed, do not lift the machine by the module as it may come off causing it and
the machine to drop.
Remove the multi-purpose drawer and lift at the positions shown in the illustration. To avoid injury be
sure to completely remove the multi-purpose drawer.
Front side Rear side
Remove the multi
purpose drawer
in advance.
If the machine has been placed on a stand/paper drawer:
The stand/paper drawer is equipped with casters for moving. Unlock the adjusters of the stand/paper
drawer and gently move the machine taking care to steady it to prevent it from toppling.
>CAUTION
The centre of gravity of this machine is a little deviated to the left from the centre. If the machine is not
equipped with a multi-purpose drawer or a stand/paper drawer, take care in opening the left side cover
(or the duplex module) not to cause toppling of the machine.
Do not cover the ventilating holes of this machine. Do not install this machine in a location where these
holes are covered. If these holes are covered, heat will not be dissipated and a fire may be caused.
7 — Before you do anything please read this
GENERAL WARNINGS
1. Do not touch the photo drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty prints.
2. The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.
3. Five adjusters are provided on all optional stand/paper drawer units.
These adjusters should be lowered until they contact the floor.
4. Do not make any modifications to this machine. Doing so may result in
personal injury or damage to the machine.
5. Since this machine is heavy, to prevent injury it is recommended that it
be moved by more than one person.
6. When connecting this machine to a computer, be sure to turn both computer and printer off
before connecting the devices.
7. Do not print anything which is prohibited from printing by law. The following items are normally
prohibited from printing by national law. Other items may be prohibited by local law.

OVERVIEW
Introduction
Thank you for buying the Oki B8300 high speed digital printer. Before attempting to use the product, it is
recommended that the user studies this manual to familiarise themselves with the main functions of the
product and to take notice of the various safety recommendations. A minimum level of computer literacy
is necessary for the installation of the printer drivers and Oki recommends that if the user is uncertain
how to proceed they should refer this item to their system adminstrator.
Original and paper sizes
The Oki B8300 uses media of standard sizes in both metric and imperial systems.The standard sizes
available are shown below.
Imperial Sizes AB system Sizes
TABLOID 11 X 17 A3 297 X 420
LEGAL 8½ X 14 B4 250 X 353

Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either portrait or landscape orientations.
To differentiate between the two sizes in the various tables further on in the book, the landscape
orientation size indication will contain an “R”. These are indicated as 8½

Main Features
A wide range of accessories to enhance your productivity
Options, such as duplex units for producing two-sided output, additional paper feed units to increase the
variety of available paper sizes and paper capacity, paper output units to sort and otherwise organize
output.
600 dpi high resolution printing
High-definition and high quality printing with 600 dpi resolution can be performed.
Also high image quality, equivalent to 1200 dpi, can be obtained by using the smoothing function.
High speed monochrome printing
The printer achieves high speed printing at 45 A4 (or letter) size pages per minute.
PostScript compatible
PostScript 3 is standard.
Energy saving features
Preheat mode
The preheat mode is the first level of power reduction.The power is reduced to the fuser unit a preset time
after the machine has completed a job and no further machine operations have been made. The machine
can recover to the ready condition within a short period of time. The preset time to enter the mode can be
set by a key operator program.
Auto power shut-off mode
The auto power shut-off mode is the second level of power reduction. In this mode power is shut off to the
fusing unit and the touch panel. In this state more energy is saved than in the preheat mode but the time
to recover to the ready condition will be longer. The preset time to enter this mode can be set by a key
operator program.
When in use, and either of the above modes is active, the mode will be deactivated automatically by an
incoming job and the machine will automatically warm up and start to print when it has reached the ready
temperature.
