APER, ENVELOPE TYPES, TRANSPARENCIES

ADHESIVE LABELS

AND

We recommend the following guidelines when selecting paper and envelopes for use in this printer:

> All paper and envelopes should be stored flat and away

from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources.

> Use envelopes designed for use in laser type printers.

> The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously

impact on 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.

> Don’t use very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.

> Don’t use heavily embossed headed paper, very rough

paper or paper that has a large grain difference between the two sides.

> Don’t use paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged

edges.

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

> Don’t use envelopes with self sealing flaps.

> Don’t use damp, damaged or curled paper and envelopes.

> Don’t use carbon paper, NCR paper, photosensitive paper,

pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.

> Media must be designed for use in colour laser printers

and photocopiers.

> Must be able to withstand 200°C for 0.1 sec.

> Labels should cover entire carrier sheet.

> Carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any part

of the printer.

RINTER DRIVERS

CD1 contains the printer drivers. Please refer to the readme file on this CD for the latest information on printer driver installation.

Built into the Oki driver is a special Ask Oki tab. If you have Internet access from your computer this tab provides access to a wealth of help and support specific to your printer in a specially designed web page available in a wide range of languages.

HICH PRINTER DRIVER

Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and PostScript (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish. Which driver you choose depends on your application.

> If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript

(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will be more efficient and give good results. The PCL driver is recommended for most general office applications.

> If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing

PostScript graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their best quality. The PostScript driver is recommended for desktop publishing applications.

NOTE The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript. So if you plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low resolution.

If your applications vary so much that neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you could choose to install both. Then select the one you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different printer from within the print dialogue, so you can print using the alternative driver whenever you need to. If you install both drivers, simply select the same printer port (LPT1, USB or Network Port) during the installation.

If you wish, you can download a PCL XL (PCL6) driver from the website http://www.okieurope.com. Using this can result in smaller print files, faster print speed and more accurate reproduction of the original computer file. However, booklet

OLOUR PRINTING

The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your C7350 provide several controls for changing the colour 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 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. Furthermore, 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, Yellow, Magenta and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.

A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense reds and blues, which cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, some printed colours (some yellows for example) 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 onscreen.

Viewing conditions

A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For example, the colours in a print may look different when

C7350 User’s Guide > 77

Page 78

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 onscreen. These options are explained in subsequent sections of this Manual.

Monitor settings

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

NOTE Several of the Colour Matching options make reference to your monitor’s Colour Temperature. Many modern monitors allow the colour 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)

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 online 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.

C7350 User’s Guide > 78

Page 79

HOOSING A COLOUR 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 colour.

However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good colour 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 colour matching settings in the printer driver without warning.

RGB OR CMYK?

The guidelines for choosing a colour matching method make 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 colour mode, assume that it is RGB.

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

ATCHING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES

RGB only

Oki Colour 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 on the Drivers CD, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print (Output) Space.

ATCHING SPECIFIC COLOURS

You may sometimes need to match a printed colour accurately to other printed material. For example, the colour of a company logo may need rendered accurately.

RGB or CMYK

If you are printing 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 ICCProfiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space) (PS only).

Alternatively, use PostScript Colour Matching with the Absolute Colorimetric setting.

RINTING VIVID COLOURS

SING THE COLOUR SWATCH

The Print Colour Swatch function allows you to print out charts that contain a range of sample colours. Listed below 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.

Use this feature to match your output to a specific printed colour, where the colour displayed on your monitor is not so important

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

2. Take a note of the RGB value below your chosen colour.

3. Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB

values (from step 2), and change the item to that colour.

NOTE 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.

OLOUR MANAGEMENT WITH THE

PCL

DRIVER

This function allows you to install alternative colour profiles for your printer. A colour profile is a special file which contains colour data about your printer to help the computer make necessary conversions from the image source (monitor, digital camera, scanner) colour space to that of your printer.

The Drivers CD supplied with your printer contains a selection of colour profiles designed to describe the colour characteristics of your printer for a variety of print media.

Absolute Colorimetric

Relative Colorimetric

COLOUR MATCHING

Best for printing solid colours and tints, such as Company logos etc. Matches colours common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of gamut colours to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white as it appears onscreen. The white of a monitor is often very different from paper white, so this may result in colour casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image.

Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer. Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into account.

This option switches all colour matching off but allows you to use CMYK Ink Simulation. This method affects CMYK data only, and simulates what the output will look on a printing press using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Toyo.

COLOUR MATCHING

ICM

> Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP only.

> Affects RGB data only.

> ICM is the colour management system built-in to

Windows.

Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these profiles describe the colours that your device is capable of reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the Colour Management tab of the printer driver. The procedure is similar to that described for the PCL driver earlier in this chapter.

Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the colour profiles may already be associated with the driver.

Windows ICM uses the information in these profiles to convert colours in your documents to colours that the printer can reproduce. The way in which this conversion is performed can be controlled via the ICM Intent control in the printer driver.

NOTE Oki also provides an alternative to Windows ICM with the Colour Match using ICC Profiles feature. This is similar to Windows ICM, but offers several additional features.

ICC

PROFILES

This method affects RGB data only. Using ICC profiles provides a method of matching RGB colours similar to Windows ICM matching. The main advantage it has over Windows ICM colour matching is that it provides a means of using both input and output profiles. Windows ICM matching only allows output profiles to be chosen.

Input profiles provide information about the colour in the original device that was used to capture or display the image data. For example, an input device could be a scanner, digital camera, or monitor.

Output profiles provide information about the device to which you are printing.

The Using ICC Profiles function allows both an input profile (e.g. digital camera), and an output profile (e.g. the C7350 printer) to be selected. It uses both these profiles to generate a CRD (Colour Rendering Dictionary), and this is used to match the colours as closely as possible.

NOTE This feature may not work for all application programs. However, many professional graphics applications offer a similar feature in their print settings, with the ability to choose a source (input) colour space, and a print (output) colour space.

The following illustrations are taken using Windows 98. Other Windows versions are quite similar.

3. Choose an output profile for your printer.

4. Choose a rendering style (see “rendering intents” under

“PostScript Colour Matching” earlier).

5. Choose a meaningful name for these settings. This will allow you to recall them whenever you need them.

6. Click OK to save your settings.

COLOUR MATCHING

If you create graphics images on your computer using Pantone spot colours, this option uses the built in Pantone tables to provide the best match. Again, the match between colours displayed on your monitor and those printed will very much depend on your monitor’s capabilities.

PERATION

The earlier section on Printer Drivers explained how to set up the default operation of the various features. These were accessed via the Windows program.

This section explains how to change the printer’s operation for specific print jobs when required.

This involves using the same Properties page of the printer driver, but it is accessed directly from within your Windows application program.

In this view the driver properties page may be more simplified than the illustrations here, showing only those settings that you wish to adjust.

Most applications allow the printer properties to be accessed from within the document print dialogue.
