Labels

CAUTION

Labels may stick to the fuser, causing them to peel off and media
misfeeds to occur.

A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and
a carrier sheet:

" The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.
" The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no

adhesive should come through on the surface.

You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.

Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.
Check your application documentation for more information on printing labels.

Printable Area

The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4.2 mm (0.165") from the edges
of the media.

a=4.0 mm (0.157")

Each media size has a specific printable area (the maximum area on which
the machine can print clearly and without distortion).

This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the
margins required by the machine) and software constraints (the amount of
memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The printable area for all
media sizes is the page size minus 4.2 mm (0.165") from all edges of the
media.

Note When printing in color on legal-size media, the following limitations

apply.

• The printable area is 339.6 (13. 4") mm from the leading edge of

the paper. (However, there is a non-printable area up to 4.2 mm
(0.165") from the leading edge.)

• The bottom margin is 16.0 mm (0.63").

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set
custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes
and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may
lose part of your image (due to printable area constraints). If you can
custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the
printable area for optimum results.

Loading Media

1 OPen the ream of paper and take off the top and bottom sheets.
2 Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to

prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray.

Important!

Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of
media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single
media type except plain paper.

Continuous printing on media other than pl ain paper (such as
labels, or thick stock) may adversely affect print quality or reduce
engine life.

When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.

CAUTION

Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause
media misfeeds.

Duplexing

Select paper with high opacity for duplex (double sided) printing. Opacity
refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side
of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed
data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check
your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity
to make sure the opacity is acceptable.

Duplex (Double sided) printing can be done automatically with the duplex
option installed and selected.

Important!

Only Letter/A4 plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be
autoduplexed. See “Print Media” on page 53.

Duplexing labels, postcards, thick stock, or letterhead is not
supported.

Duplex Printing

Y ou should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
successfully duplex the job.

Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
printing.

The following Binding Position settings are available.

Output Tray

All printed media is output to the face-down output tray on top of the printer.
This tray has a capacity of approximately 100 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m2
(21 lb) paper.

Note If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your printer may

experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.

70 - C130n User’s Guide

Media Storage

" Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to

load it.

Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up
too much and cause misfeeding.

" If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original

packaging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

" Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above

35°C [95°F]), and dust.

" Avoid media leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright

position.

Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.

Toner Cartridges

General Information

Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan.
Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer
or on yourself.

Note Install only new toner cartridges in your printer. If a used toner

cartridge is installed, then toner remaining amount may not be
accurate.

Note The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with

cool water and a mild soap. If you get toner on your clothes, lightly
dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your
clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off.

CAUTION

If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool
water and consult a doctor.

Important!

For the best results, use only genuine Oki toner cartridges.

Storing and Handling Toner Cartridges

" Keep toner cartridges In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.
" Store toner cartridges In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to

heat).

73 - C130n User’s Guide

Important!

The maximum storage temperature is 35° C (95° F) and the
maximum storage humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner
cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place,
condensation may occur , degradi ng print quality. Allow the toner to
adapt to the environment for about one hour before use.

" Always keep toner cartridges level when handling or storing them.

Important!

Do not hold, stand or store cartridges on their ends or turn them
upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or
unequally distributed.

" Keep toner cartridges away from salty air and corrosive gases such as

aerosols.

Maintaining the Printer

CAUTION

Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to

follow any instructions contained in them. These labels are

located on the inside of the printer’s covers and the interior of

the printer body.

Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. If dust and paper scraps

remain on the inside or outside of the printer, printer performance and print

quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the

following guidelines in mind.

WARNING!

Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all

interface cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent

into the printer; otherwise the printer will be damaged and an

electric shock may occur.

CAUTION

The fuser unit is hot. When the top cover is opened, the

fuser unit temperature drops gradually (one hour wait

time).

" Be careful when cleaning the inside of the printer or removing media

misfeeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot.

" Do not place anything on top of the printer.

" Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.

" Never spray cleaning solutions directly on the printer’s surface; the spray

could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the
internal circuits.

" Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain

solvents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.

95 - C130n User’s Guide

" Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small

inconspicuous area of your printer to check the solution’s performance.

" Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning

pads.

" Always close the printer’s covers gently. Never subject the printer to

vibration.

" Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until

it cools down.

" Do not leave the printer’s covers open for any length of time, especially in

well-lit places; light may damage the imaging cartridge.

" Do not open the printer during printing.

" Do not tap media stacks on the printer.

" Do not lubricate or disassemble the printer.

" Do not tilt the printer.

" Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so may

damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate.

" Keep media in the output tray at a minimum level. If the media is stocked

too high, your printer may experience media misfeeds and excessive
media curl.

" Keep the printer level to avoid toner spillage.

96 - C130n User’s Guide
