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
g/m²)
• Xerox
®
• Oki
52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US Bond
(120 g/m
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.
Media Recommendations • 10
Envelopes
Yes No
• Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302:
see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media“ in your 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.
Media Recommendations • 11
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.

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.

in correct order.
NOTE
Always use this stacker and the Multi-Purpose Tray for
paper stocks heavier than 47 lb. US Bond (98 lb. Index,
176 g/m² metric).
Optional Duplex Unit
This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range
of paper sizes as optional Tray 2 (i.e. all Tray 1 sizes except A6),
using paper from 20 to 28-lb. US Bond (42 to 58 lb. Index, 75 to 105

Setting Color Tuning from The Front Panel
Important!
• In most cases, using Color Tuning is not necessary as the printer
is optimized for color printing at its default settings.
• Once you change these settings, they remain in effect until you
go back in and change them.
• To return the settings to the defaults, use the steps below to
set each value back to 0 (zero).
You can use the printer’s menu to adjust the color intensity for a
specific color by adjusting the HIGHLIGHT, MID-TONE and DARK
(shadows) Color Tuning Patterns.
• To increase the color intensity, use a higher positive setting (default =
0, maximum = +3).
• To decrease the color intensity, use a higher negative setting (default
= 0, maximum = -3).
For example, to adjust the intensity of the magenta portion:

Replacing Consumables
• Toner Cartridge — Life expectancy approximately 3,000 pages for
standard cartridges, 5,000 pages for high-capacity cartridges,
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 71.
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 79.
• Transfer Belt — Life expectancy about 50,000 letter-size pages.
See “Belt Unit Replacement” on page 88.
