Ideas for Using Printer Features

Note: For detailed information on
these features, see your on-line User’s Guide
Secure Print Feature
Ideal for printing confidential
documents on a network system.
Idea!
When printing special media, use this feature to prevent documents being sent by other clients on the network from printing on your media:
• Create your document and store it in the printer’s memory.
• Load the special media.
• Start printing the document by accessing it through the front panel (see page 20).
Proof & Print Feature
Use Proof & Print to proof your
document before printing multiple copies.
Overlays (Forms)
Note: Overlay elements must be
created in your software application, then sorted on the printer’s hard drive using OKI Storage Device Manager before they can be used.
Great for adding logos, addresses,
letterheads, etc., to your document, in any combination.
Ideas!
User overlays:
• in place of preprinted stationery.
• to create forms from pre-stored modular pieces.
