APER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.

The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:

> Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;

> Colour Copy by Neusiedler.

Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.

Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

Envelopes shoul d b e fr e e f r om t w is t , c u rl o r o th e r d ef o r m at i o n s. They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki Printing Solutions transparencies (Order No. 01074101). In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.

A5 148 x 210mm

B5 182 x 257mm

Executive 184.2 x 266.7mm

A4 210 x 297mm

Letter 215.9 x 279.4mm

Legal 13in. 216 x 330mm

Legal 13.5in. 216 x 343mm

Legal 14in. 216 x 356mm

Medium 75-104g/m²

Heavy 105-120g/m²

Ultra heavy 121-203g/m² (Tray 2/MPT only)

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings. (See “Printer Settings in Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions” later in this guide.)

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up to 203g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.

The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).

For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 90g/m² and 128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.

Use the multi purpose tray for printing on envelopes and transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of 10mm.

Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function.

Paper recommendations > 13

ACE DOWN STACKER

The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 250 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

ACE UP STACKER

The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.

The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 203g/m².

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than 176g/m².

UPLEX UNIT

This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 75-105g/m².

NOTE The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

Paper recommendations > 14

OADING PAPER

ASSETTE TRAYS

1. Remove the paper tray from the printer.

Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the

middle (2) to ensure that all sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3).

Loading paper > 15

3. Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of the printer, as shown.

2 1

4. Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the size of paper being used.

To prevent paper jams:

> Do not leave space between the paper and the guides

and rear stopper.

> Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the

type of paper stock.

> Do not load damaged paper.

> Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the

same time.

> Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except

as described below for the 2nd tray).

> Close the paper tray gently.

5. If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st

(upper) tray, you can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during printing to reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will cause a paper jam.

Loading paper > 16

6. For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking capacity is approximately 250 sheets, depending on paper weight.

7. For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is open and the paper support (4) is extended. Paper is stacked in reverse order and tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets, depending on paper weight.

8. Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card stock etc.).

CAUTION!

Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as it may result in a paper jam.

Loading paper > 17

ULTI PURPOSE TRAY

1. Open the multi purpose tray (1).

2. Fold out the paper supports (2).

3. Press gently down on the paper platform (3) to ensure it is latched down.

4. Load the paper and adjust the paper guides (4) to the size of paper being used.

> For single-sided printing on headed paper load the

paper into the multi purpose tray with pre-printed side up and top edge into the printer.

Loading paper > 18

> For two-sided (duplex) printing on headed paper load

the paper with pre-printed side down and top edge away from the printer. (Optional duplex unit must be installed for this function.)

> Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to

the left and short edge into the printer. Do not select duplex printing on envelopes.

> Do not exceed the paper capacity of about 50 sheets or

10 envelopes. Maximum stacking depth is 10mm.

5. Press the tray latch button (5) inwards to release the paper platform, so that the paper is lifted and gripped in place.

Set the correct paper size for the multi purpose tray in the Media Menu (see “Menu Functions”).

RINTER SETTINGS IN

Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options.

The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the operator panel menus, and you print documents from Windows, the settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the operator panel menus.

The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Other Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.

RINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a print dialogue box appears. This dialogue usually specifies the name of the printer on which you will print your document. Next to the printer name is a Properties button.

When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which you can choose for this document.

The settings available from within your application are only those which you may want to change for specific applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only last for as long as the particular application program is running.

INDOWS

Printer settings in Windows > 20

ETUP TAB

When you click the Properties button from your application’s Print dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your printing preferences for the current

1 2

document.

1. Paper size should be the same as the page size of

your document (unless you wish to scale the printout to fit another size), and should also be the same as the size of paper you will feed into the printer.

2. You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which may be Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you have the optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multi purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part of the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.

3. The setting for paper weight should match the type of paper on which you intend to print.

4. A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be any number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages at more than one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints two pages per sheet on each side of the paper so that when folded they make up a booklet. Booklet printing requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer.

Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

5. For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by the long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires that a duplex unit be installed in your printer.

6. If you have changed some printing preferences before and saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having to set them individually each time you need them.

7. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

Printer settings in Windows > 21

JOB

OPTIONS TAB

1. The output resolution of the printed page can be set as

follows.

> The ProQ2400 setting prints at 600 x 600dpi x 2 bit.

This option requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print.

> The Fine/Detail setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi and is

adequate for all but the most discerning applications.

> The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is

suitable for most draft documents, where print quality is less critical.

2. You can print watermark text behind the main page image. This is useful for marking documents as draft, confidential, etc.

3. You can select up to 999 copies to print consecutively, although you will need to top up the paper tray during such a long print run.

4. Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).

5. You printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery.

6. Clicking the Advanced button gives you access to further settings. For example, you can elect to have black areas printed using 100%K toner (a more matte appearance).

7. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

8. The quality of photographic images can be improved.

Printer settings in Windows > 22

OLOUR TAB

1. Control over the colour output of your printer may be performed automatically, or for advanced control, by manual adjustment. The automatic setting will be appropriate in most cases. The other options in this window only become visible when you select a choice other than Auto. For greyscale printing, the printer runs at 24ppm and all pages are printed in black and white.

2. You can choose from a range of colour matching options, depending on the image source for your document. For example, a photograph taken on a digital camera might require different colour matching to a business graphic created in a spreadsheet application. Again, for most general purpose use, automatic is the best choice.

3. Printed output may be made lighter or darker, or the colours made more saturated and vibrant as required.

4. Black areas may be printed using 100% cyan, magenta and yellow (composite black), giving a more glossy appearance, or using only black toner (true black), giving a more matte appearance. Choosing the automatic setting allows the driver to make the most appropriate choice depending on image content.

5. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

Printer settings in Windows > 23

ETTING FROM WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL

When you open the driver properties window directly from Windows, rather than from within an application program, a somewhat more extensive range of settings is provided. Changes made here will generally affect all documents you print from Windows applications, and will be remembered from one Windows session to the next.

ENERAL TAB

1. This area lists some of the main features of your printer, including optional items, such as duplex (two-sided) printing.

2. This button opens the same windows as described earlier for items which can be set from within application programs. Changes you make here, however, will become the new default settings for all Windows applications.

3. This button prints a test page to ensure that your printer is working.

Printer settings in Windows > 24

DVANCED TAB

1 2

1. You can specify which times of day your printer will be available.

2. Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). Highest priority documents will print first.

3. Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file) before being printed. The document is then printed in the background, allowing your application program to become available more quickly.

4. This specifies that printing should not start until the last page has been spooled. If your application program needs a lot of time for further computation in the middle of printing, causing the print job to pause for more than a short period, the printer could prematurely assume that the document has finished. Selecting this option would prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a little later, as the start is delayed.

5. This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts as soon as possible after the document begins spooling.

6. This specifies that the document should not be spooled, but printed directly. Your application will not normally be ready for further use until the print job is complete. This requires less disk space on your computer, since there is no spool file.

Printer settings in Windows > 25

7. Directs the spooler to check the document setup and match it to the printer setup before sending the document to print. If a mismatch is detected, the document is held in the print queue and does not print until the printer setup is changed and the document restarted from the print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will not prevent correctly matched documents from printing.

8. Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which have completed spooling when deciding which document to print next, even if completed documents are lower priority than documents which are still spooling. If no documents have completed spooling, the spooler will favour larger spooling documents over shorter ones. Use this option if you want to maximise printer efficiency. When this option is disabled the spooler chooses documents based only on their priority settings.

9. Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents after they are completed. This allows documents to be re submitted to the printer from the spooler instead of printing again from the application program. If you use this option frequently it will require large amounts of disk space on your computer.

10. Specifies whether advanced features, such as booklet printing, page order and pages per sheet, are available, depending on your printer. For normal printing keep this option enabled. If compatibility problems occur you can disable the feature. However, these advanced options may then not be available, even though the hardware might support them.

11. This button provides access to the same setup windows as when printing from applications. Changes made via the Windows Control Panel become the Windows default settings.

Black Finish

Use this option to control the way black is printed in colour documents. Select Composite Black (CMYK) to use all 4 toner colours to represent black. This option is recommended for color photos. Select True Black (K) to use 100% black toner to represent black. This option is recommended for text and business graphics.

Brightness / Saturation

This option allows you to increase brightness for a lighter print. Modify saturation to change the strength (or purity) of a colour.

RINTER SETUP OPTIONS

Printer options

Media weight

Select the thickness or type of paper in the printer. It is important to set this correctly as it affects the temperature at which the toner is fused to the paper. For example, if you are printing on normal A4 paper, do not select Labels or Transparency as this may cause toner smearing and paper jams.

Auto tray switch

If the printer runs out of paper in the current tray, Auto Tray Switch automatically changes to a tray that has the same type of paper and continues printing.

Paper size check

Select Paper Size check if you want the printer to warn you when the document paper size is different from the paper in the printer.

A warning message is displayed and printing continues when you load the correct paper in the paper tray and press ONLINE. When this option is deselected, the printer

Printer settings in Mac > 41

uses the paper loaded in the selected tray regardless of the document size.

Feed manually from Multipurpose Tray

Select this option if you want the printer to wait until you press the ONLINE button when feeding from the Multipurpose Tray. This can be useful if printing on envelopes.

Always create 100% black (K) toner

Select this option if you want the printer to always use only black (K) toner when printing pure black (RGB = 0,0,0). This is effective even when Composite Black (CMYK) is selected in the colour options.

Run maintenance cycle before printing

Depending on printing habits and usage patterns, running the maintenance cycle before printing may ensure the best possible print quality. This feature uses the printer's image drums and transfer belt. The life of these printer consumables may be shortened if the printer runs a maintenance cycle frequently.

Print control

If you are using the Windows Print Control Server software to manage printers, enter your assigned user name and ID. This information is sent to the printer with your print job and is recorded by the printer.

OLOUR PRINTING

The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several controls for changing the colour output. For general use the automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents.

Many applications have their own colour 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 colour management functions.

ACTORS THAT AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRINTS

If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer driver, please be aware that colour 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 colours a monitor or printer can reproduce

> Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing

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

> Both devices use very different technologies to represent

colour. 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 colours such as intense

reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colours, (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 colours do not match the colours displayed on screen.

Colour printing > 44

Viewing conditions

A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For example, the colours 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 colour settings

The driver settings for manual colour can change the appearance of a print. There are several options available to help match the printed colours 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 colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours look.

There are several settings found on a typical monitor:

> 5000k Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in

graphic art environments.

> 6500k Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.

> 9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors and

television sets.

(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature.)

How your software application displays colour

Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop may display colour differently from “Office” applications such as Microsoft 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 colour. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one on specially formulated glossy paper.

Colour printing > 45

IPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR

The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour output from your printer.

RINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES

Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.

If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or Digital Camera settings.

RINTING FROM OFFICE APPLICATIONS

Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint.

RINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS (E.G. A COMPANY LOGO

There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help match specific colours:

Colour Correct Utility

Colour Swatch Utility

DJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT

)

If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control to adjust it.

If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the Saturation control.

Colour printing > 46

CCESSING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS

The colour matching options in the printer driver can be used to help match your printed colours to the ones displayed on your monitor or from some other source, such as a digital camera.

To open colour matching options from the Windows Control Panel:

1. Open the Printers window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP).

2. Right-click the printer name and choose Properties.

3. Click the Printing Preferences button (1).

To open colour matching options from within a Windows application:

1. Choose File>Print… from the application’s menu bar.

2. Click the Properties button next to the printer name.

Colour printing > 47

ETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS

1. On the Colour tab select Advanced Colour for colour

matching.

2. Choose the Natural colour setting and select from the following options:

(a) Monitor (6500k) Perceptual

Optimised for printing photographs. Colours are printed with emphasis on saturation.

(b) Monitor (6500k) Vivid

Optimised for printing photographs, but with even more saturated colours than the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.

Colour printing > 48

Optimised for printing graphics from applications such as Microsoft Office. Colours are printed with emphasis on Lightness.

(d) Digital Camera

Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera.

Your results will vary depending on the subject and the conditions under which the photograph was taken.

(e) sRGB

The printer will try to reproduce the sRGB colour space. This may be useful if colour matching from an sRGB input device such as a scanner or digital camera.

SING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE

To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour Swatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was supplied with your printer.

The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range of sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours that the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour are the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to choose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatch button (1) and choose from the options available.

Colour printing > 49

An example of using the colour swatch function:

You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you would follow are:

1. Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that best suits your needs.

2. Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that you liked.

3. Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB values, and change the logo to that colour.

The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case, it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your primary objective is to print the required colour.

SING THE COLOUR CORRECT UTILITY

The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver CD-ROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed along with the printer driver.

The Colour Correct utility has the following features:

> Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually

adjusted. This is useful if you want to change how a specific colour is printed.

> Colours can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and

Gamma. This is useful if you wish to change the overall colour output.

Once these colour adjustments have been made, the new settings can be selected from the printer driver Colour tab.

To select adjustments made with the Colour Correct Utility:

1. From your application program, click File and point to Print.

2. Click Properties. This displays the printer driver options.

3. Click the Colour tab.

4. Click Advanced Colour.

5. Click User Defined.

This setting operates in the same way as AUTO SPEED, except that the printer runs at 32ppm until a colour page is detected. To achieve this speed the printer requires an additional 10 – 20 seconds to warm up and 30 –60 seconds to cool down when switching to 6ppm for colour pages.

ONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

NOTE When the LCD display indicates TONER LOW, or if print appears faded, first open the top cover and try tapping the cartridge a few times to evenly distribute the toner powder. This will enable you to obtain the best “yield” from your toner cartridge.

CAUTION!

To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed.

The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder. It is contained in four cartridges: one each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

Have a sheet of paper handy so that you have somewhere to place the used cartridge while you install the new one.

Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly, inside the pack that the new one came in. Follow any regulations, recommendations, etc., which may be in force concerning waste recycling.

If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue.

Do not use hot water, and never use solvents of any kind. They will make stains permanent.

WARNING!

If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a little water or bathe your eyes liberally in cold water. Seek medical attention immediately.

Installing upgrades > 95

DJUSTING WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVERS

Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to update the Windows printer driver so that the additional features are available to your Windows applications.

Remember that if your printer is shared between users on different computers, the driver must be adjusted on each user’s machine.

The illustrations shown here are for Windows XP. Other Windows versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.

If you have installed a memory upgrade it is not necessary to change the printer driver, and you can ignore this section.

If you have installed a duplex unit or hard disk, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Printers window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP) via the Start Menu or from the Windows Control Panel.

2. Right-click the printer icon for this printer, and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.

3. On the Device Options tab, check the box for the upgrade you have just installed.

4. Click OK to close the properties window, and then close the Printers window.

TORAGE CABINET

Instructions for installing the Storage Cabinet are supplied with the Cabinet.

LEARING PAPER JAMS

Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on the use of print media, and you keep the media in good condition prior to use, your printer should give years of reliable service. However, paper jams occasionally do occur, and this section explains how to clear them quickly and simply.

Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any point on the paper path through the printer. When a jam occurs, the printer immediately stops, and the Alert LED on the Status Panel (together with the Status Monitor) informs you of the event. If printing multiple pages (or copies), do not assume that, having cleared an obvious sheet, others will not also be stopped somewhere along the path. These must also be removed in order to clear the jam fully and restore normal operation.
