Rear Stacker (face up), Capacity100 sheets

When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked face up. This is used for labels, heavy print media, envelopes and custom paper sizes. When used in conjunction with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the print media around curves in the paper path and makes paper feeding more reliable.

MEDIA TYPES

Paper

The best performance is obtained when using paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types include:

• Hammermill® Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US Bond (90 g/m²)

• Xerox

• Oki

Recommendations

• Check http://my.okidata.com for the latest information on recommended papers for your printer.

• Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.

• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously affect the life of the image drum and give poor print quality. Print

quality can be improved by changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’ However, this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of the duplex option.

• Avoid: – Damp, damaged or curled paper. – Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper. – Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper or paper

that has a large grain difference between the two sides. – Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges. – Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper, photosensitive

paper, pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.

Envelopes

Yes No

• Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302:

see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media“ in your C5100 Handy Reference Guide for more information).

• Envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.

• Don’t use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

• Don’t use damp, damaged or curled envelopes.

CAUTION

Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2 second.

Transparencies

• Use only recommended transparencies (3M CG3720, Oki

52205701).

Auto Switching

If you have identical paper stock loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray or the optional Second Paper Tray, you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. This function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See page 72.)

MEDIA: MULTI-PURPOSE TRAY

Use the Multi-Purpose (MP) Tray for printing card stock, labels, envelopes and transparencies. Or load a stack of letterhead stationery to switch to as needed.

• A stack of media about 3/8'' (10 mm) high can be loaded into the MP Tray, equivalent to about 10 envelopes or 50 transparencies.

• Media should be loaded print side up, top edge facing into the printer.

• Generally, the rear exit (Face Up Stacker) is used with the MP Tray.

Loading Paper

TRAYS 1 AND 2

NOTE

If you have the optional second paper tray installed:

Color Printing

The printer driver supplied with this printer provides several controls for changing the color output of your printer. For general use the Auto settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents.

Many applications have their own color settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the documentation for your software application for details on how that particular program’s color management functions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Factors That Affect the Appearance of Printed Documents

If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver, please be aware that color reproduction is a complex topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration. Some of the most important factors are listed below.

Differences between the Range of Colors a Monitor or Printer Can Reproduce

• Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full

range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted to a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.

• Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. A

monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.

• A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and

blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows for example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is often the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors displayed on screen.

C5100: Color Printing • 56

Viewing conditions

A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under standard office fluorescent lighting.

Printer driver color settings

The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a print. There are several options available to help match the printed colors with those displayed on screen.

Monitor settings

The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s color temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colors look.

NOTE

Several of the Color Matching options make reference to your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the monitor’s control panel.

There are several settings found on a typical monitor:

• 5000k*

Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphics arts environments.

• 6500k

Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.

• 9300k

Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television sets.

*k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature

C5100: Color Printing • 57

How Your Software Application Displays Color

Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe® Photoshop such as Microsoft

may display color differently from "office" applications

Word. Please see your application’s on-line help

or user manual for more information.

Paper Type

The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one on specially formulated glossy paper.

C5100: Color Printing • 58

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD

There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent. There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and reproducible color.

The following guidelines may help in achieving good color output from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending on the type of document you are printing.

NOTE

These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may vary depending on the application from which you are printing. Some applications will override any color matching settings in the printer driver without warning.

RGB or CMYK?

The guidelines for choosing a color matching method makes distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK).

Generally, most documents you print will be in RGB format. This is the most common, and if you do not know your document’s color mode, assume that it is RGB.

Typically CMYK documents are only supported in professional Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.

The driver and Color Swatch Utility supplied with your printer support only RBG. If you wish to use CMYK, you might be able to use the software application’s Soft Proofing feature (see “RGB or CMYK” on page 60).

C5100: Color Printing • 59

Matching Photographic Images

RGB only

Oki Color Matching is a generally a good choice. Select a matching method appropriate to your monitor.

RGB or CMYK

If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space).

Matching Specific Colors (e.g., a Company logo): RGB only

• Option 1: Select the sRGB setting on the Color tab in the driver.

• Option 2

Publications CD supplied with your printer to print out a chart of RGB swatches, then enter the desired RGB values in your application's color picker.

: Use the Color Swatch Utility provided on the

Printing Vivid Colors: RGB Only

Use either the Monitor 6500k Vivid, sRGB or Digital Camera settings.

C5100: Color Printing • 60

COLOR MATCHING

Color Matching Options

The Color Matching options in the driver can be used to help match your printed colors to the ones displayed on your monitor.

NOTE

The driver’s color options are only designed to work with RGB data.

The driver color matching options are found on the Color tab in the driver:

C5100: Color Printing • 61

To set the color matching options manually, click Manual Color. The

Color tab screen will change to:

Choose from the following options:

• Monitor (6500k) Perceptual

Optimized for printing daylight photographs.

• Monitor (6500k) Vivid

Optimized for printing bright colors. Good for office graphics.

• Monitor (9300k)

Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with this color temperature.

• Digital Camera

Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects and the conditions under which they were taken.

•sRGB

Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo color. The colors within the printer's color gamut are printed without any modification, and only colors that fall outside the printable colors are modified.

• Toner Cartridge — Life expectancy approximately 5,000 pages, assuming about 5% coverage, which means that 5% of the addressable dots in an image are printed with this color of toner. See “Toner Cartridge Replacement” on page 87.

NOTE

When installing a toner cartridge in a new image drum, the life expectancy of the cartridge will be reduced by approximately 1,500 pages (at 5% coverage) as the toner charges the new drum.

•Image Drum — Life expectancy approximately 15,000 pages,

assuming an average of 3 pages per print job. If the average print job is longer than this, the image drums could last longer, but if the average print job is shorter, then image drums will be used more quickly. See “Image Drum Replacement” on page 94.

• Transfer Belt — Life expectancy about 50,000 letter-size pages. See “Belt Unit Replacement” on page 103.

• Fuser — Life expectancy about 45,000 letter-size pages. See “Fuser Replacement” on page 108.
