When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used in conjunction with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper 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.

C5300 Media Recommendations • 12

Envelopes

Yes No

• Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302:

see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media“ in your C5300 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).

• Avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

C5300 Media Recommendations • 13

Labels

• Avery 5161 White Laser Labels (letter size) work well with your printer. Check http://my.okidata.com for the latest information on media for your printer.

• Use only labels designed for use in color laser printers and photocopiers.

CAUTION!

• Labels should cover the entire carrier sheet.

• Carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any part of the printer

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 187.)

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.

Important!

The duplex unit can be used for paper only, at weights up to 28 lb. US Bond (105 g/m duplex (two-sided printing) function for labels, envelopes, transparencies, or paper heavier than 28 lb. US Bond.

Printing Overlays 2000 and XP

What are Overlays?

An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is stored in the printer's flash memory or on the optional hard disk drive, and printed whenever required. The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to be much more elaborate.

Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms, or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.

An Example of Using Overlays:

Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer using the Storage Device Manager:

• the company logo

• the company address

• the company mission statement.

The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your document in various combinations, depending on your requirements.

To Create Overlays:

1. Create the document that you wish to use for Overlay printing (e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file (print file) using the printer driver.

2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file (print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the printer.

C5300 Postscript Emulation Driver • 70

Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the printer driver to use the overlays.

NOTE

• The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer to allow for spooling of the print job before final printing.

• If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled data,

DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed.

• If the software application being used has a collate print option, this must be turned OFF correctly.

• An overlay may consist of more than one component files.

Creating Documents To Use As Overlays

An overlay can be created in any software application that can handle logos, letterheads, forms, etc. and can print to a file.

1. With the file to be stored as an overlay open in your application program, choose File then Print.

for overlay to operate

2. Ensure that the Print To File option is switched on in your

application's Print dialog box.

3. Depending on the application, you may need to select your printer model, and then click Properties… This should open the printer driver settings.

5. Choose Create Form from the drop-down list, then make your

6. Windows XP only

: click OK to return to the Print dialog box.

7. Click Print.

Instead of sending the print job to the printer, this prompts you to save the print job on your PC's hard disk. Give the file a meaningful name.

Downloading The Print File To Use as An Overlay

Use the Storage Device Manager utility to download the file for use as an overlay. Follow the instructions in the C5300 Utility Software pdf on the Documentation CD supplied with your printer, or use the Storage Device Manager Help.
