Safety instructions
English
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of
safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions
that should be taken to avoid personal injury or
damaging the printer:
•Read this setup guide carefully and save it for
future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction
labels on the printer itself.
•Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only
a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners to clean the printer.
•Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the
printer is placed on something unsteady, it may
fall and become damaged or injure someone. If
the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked
causing the printer to overheat.
•Do not put the printer on or near a heat source,
such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of
direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the
printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.
•Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid of
any kind into it.
•Make sure that the power source matches the
rating listed on the back of the printer. If you are
not sure, check with your dealer or with your
local power company.
•This printer has an earthed plug as a safety
feature and will only connect to an earthed outlet.
If this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet,
then it is possible that the power outlet is of the
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to
have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an
adapter to defeat the earthing.
•To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked
on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,
replace it immediately.
•If an extension cable or power strip is being used
with the printer, make sure that the total of the
amperage rating required by all the equipment is
less than the rating of the extension cable or
power strip. The total ratings of all equipment
Prefaceiii
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13
amperes.
•The power outlet into which the printer is
connected must remain accessible at all times.
•Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces.
These are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.
•Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots
on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a
fire.
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not
working properly or has been damaged, disconnect the
printer from the power source and contact your dealer.
These are some of the things to look for:
•The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
•Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has
been exposed to water.
•The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is
damaged.
•Aside from the routine maintenance described in
the user’s guide, do not try to service the printer
•The printer does not function normally when
following the operating instructions.
yourself. Opening a cover may expose you to
shocks or other hazards.
•Do not make any adjustments other than those
outlined in the user’s guide as damage may be
caused to the printer.

Doing so may damage the printer.
Manual feed
mode
M
Note 1:
Loading too many sheets into the sheet feeder may
cause paper jams or misfeeding.
Note 2:
Be aware that when using automatic feed mode, the
last sheet will occasionally feed incorrectly depending
on the paper type.
Notes and precautions about paper
The printer’s sheet feeder can feed paper to the printer
automatically, which is the most convenient method of
printing. The sheet feeder holds up to 100 sheets of
plain paper at once.
Thick paper and other kinds of special printing media
should be used in manual feed mode. The approximate
thicknesses of paper that can be used in manual feed
mode or automatic feed mode are as follows:
Feed ModeMin.Max.
Automatic0.07mm (0.003")0.10mm (0.004")
Manual0.07mm (0.003")0.23mm (0.01")
24User’s Guide
Caution:
Never use paper in the sheet feeder with thickness outside
the range 0.07 mm - 0.10 mm (0.003" - 0.004") in
automatic feed mode. In manual feed mode, never use
paper whose thickness is outside the range 0.07 mm - 0.23
mm (0.003" - 0.01"). Doing so may cause paper jams or
damage to the printer.
Paper jams can be caused by feeding in paper that is
extremely smooth or shiny, too rough, or paper that
easily picks up static electricity. Paper jams and other
paper feed problems can tear the ribbons in ink
cartridges.
To avoid such problems, please note the following
precautions:
•Always use the recommended paper types, and
be sure to set the printer’s paper options properly.
Settings that are not appropriate for the paper
being used can cause paper jams.
•When printing on a thick sheet, or an irregular
postcard-size sheet allow a 1/2 inch (12 mm)
margin on the left and right side to prevent
printing over the paper edge, this could result in
tearing the ink cartridge ribbon.
English
•When printing on used sheets (already printed on
the same side), use manual feed only. Automatic
feed may not feed used sheets properly. When
using manual feed, avoid repeatedly inserting and
removing the same sheet.
Loading paper in automatic feed mode
Use automatic feed mode for continuous printing.
There are two methods for loading paper, depending on
the media.
Loading high grade/laser paper and Press
Papers
1.Pull the paper support upwards.
Chapter 2 - Initial Setup25
2.Set the paper feed switch to position “A”.
3.Place the paper in the sheet feeder.
4. Adjust the paper feed guide to the paper size.
Note 1:
Do not use creased or curled paper, this can cause the
paper to misfeed.
Note 2:
Fan the paper once before placing it in the sheet
feeder. This will prevent the paper sticking and printer
feeding a number of sheets together.

Printing in Metallic Colour
English
Metallic colour printing is one of the unique features of
the OKI DP-7000 printer. The printer driver allows you
to select specific colours or colour components that will
be replaced by foil colours and black ink when printing.
You can print with up to one metallic colour, (or four
metallic colours plus black) from most applications that
allow colour specification. Moreover, because metallic
inks are opaque, metallic colour printing is unaffected
by the colour of the underlying paper.
Note 1:
Depending on the font type, size or paper type, metallic
colour ink may not always be well applied.
The following types of metallic colour printing are
possible depending on the number of ink cartridges
used.
•Single metallic colour printing Metallic colour
printing using a single colour (Magenta, Cyan,
gold or silver).
•Multi metallic colour printing - Metallic colour
printing using four colours (Magenta, Cyan, gold
and silver).
•Full colour plus metallic colour printing Simultaneous full colour and metallic colour
printing.
Single metallic colour printing
Single metallic colour printing uses just one metallic
colour. Only the metallic colour to be used is installed
in the printer. This method of printing is used when an
entire image (including grayscale images) or document
is going to be printed in a single metallic colour. Single
metallic colour printing can be used even when the
application you are using does not allow designation of
colour components.
Requirements
For single metallic colour printing you will need the
following.
1. Media
aPress Paper, High Grade Paper, etc. can be
used as with normal colour printing.
2. Ink cartridges
Chapter 4 - Specialised Printing Operations45
Use either one of the following ink cartridges.
aMetallic Magenta ink cartridge
bMetallic Cyan ink cartridge
cMetallic Gold ink cartridge
dMetallic Silver ink cartridge
Prepare the image to be printed
Use any application to create the image or document
you want to print, and prepare it as you would for
normal printing.
Note:
It is not necessary to select a colour in the application
that matches the colour of the ink cartridge in the
printer. Leaving the characters and images in black is
acceptable.
Install ink cartridges
Install the desired metallic colour (Magenta, Cyan, gold
or silver) into the ink cartridge holders. The ink
cartridges may be installed in any order.
Load the paper in your printer
The method used for loading paper depends on the
paper type. Use manual feed mode for cardboard (thick
paper) and greeting cards. For Press Paper or High
Grade Paper, you may also use automatic feed mode.

The media and ink cartridge requirements for multi
metallic colour printing are the same as in the single
metallic colour printing.
Prepare the image to be printed
Use any application to create the image or document
you want to print. Then set the colours corresponding to
each metallic colour you want to use. For example, set
the parts of the image that you want to print in gold foil
to yellow and those of the image that you want to print
in silver foil to grey. When you want to print metallic
colours and black simultaneously, you must also
specify the area you want to print in black.
Note 1:
Since all of the colour and grayscale data is binarized
in multi colour printing, gradation cannot be
represented.
Note 2:
White portions of data (R=G=B=100%) are not

Simultaneous full colour and metallic
colour printing
The following paragraphs describe how to print full
colour and metallic colour simultaneously . This
printing method differentiates between metallic colour
and full colour areas depending on their colour
component. For this reason, it is necessary to assign the
correct colour to each area. This printing method is
used with applications that allow the user to accurately
specify colour components.
Requirements
For simultaneous full colour and metallic colour
printing you will need the following.
iFinish II ink cartridge
Note:
Only a maximum of nine ink cartridges can be
installed in the printer at any one time. Cyan,
Magenta, Yellow and Black cartridges must always be
installed. The Foil and Finish II cartridges are
optional.

Prepare the image to be printed
Create the data you want to print, then set the image
areas to be printed in metallic colours to colours that
correspond to the metallic colours you want to use. For
the colours (and colour components) that correspond to
each metallic colour, refer to the table below.
Note:
There are a small range of colour component values
that will be interpreted by the printer as indicating
metallic colours. Because of this, photographs and
other data with many different colours may have areas
that match the metallic colour designations and print
only partially in foil colour. When printing images that
contain data such as photographs, it is best to print full
colour plus metallic colour using Overlay mode
In simultaneous full colour plus metallic colour
printing, indicate the Red, Blue, gold and silver metallic
colours by selecting the corresponding colour
component. For characters of 32 points or more, select
the following approximate colours.
Metallic Colour
Metallic GoldYellow (or yellow/orange)

Note 1:
Some applications make internal adjustment to
produce the displayed colour components. In such
cases, the colour components cannot be restricted and
therefore metallic colours cannot be used. When using
such an application, use the Overlay mode.
Note 2:
There are a small range of colour component values
which are close to a metallic colour. These colours will
be interpreted by the printer as indicating metallic
colours and will be printed in the respective metallic
colour.
Install ink cartridges

Printing in foil colour
English
Foil colour printing is one of the unique features of the
OKI DP-7000 printer. The printer driver allows you to
select specific colours or colour components that will
be replaced by foil colours and black ink when printing.
You can print with up to two foil colours, (or two foil
colours plus black) from most applications that allow
colour specification. Moreover, because foil inks are
opaque, foil colour printing is unaffected by the colour
of the underlying paper.
Note 1:
Black Spot ink is used for foil colour printing.
Therefore, undercoat must be applied using Black Spot
ink before printing foil colour.
Note 2:
Depending on the font type, size or paper type, foil
colour ink may not always be well applied.
The following types of foil colour printing are possible
depending on the number of ink cartridges used.
•Single foil colour printing (without halftone) Foil colour printing using a single colour (gold or
silver).
•Multi foil colour printing - Foil colour printing
using two colours (gold and silver).
•Full colour plus foil colour printing Simultaneous full colour and foil colour printing.
Single foil colour printing
Single foil colour printing uses just one foil colour.
Only the foil colour to be used is installed in the printer.
This method of printing is used when an entire image
(including grayscale images) or document is going to
be printed in a single foil colour. Single foil colour
printing can be used even when the application you are
using does not allow designation of colour components.
Chapter 4 - Specialised Printing Operations53

Multi foil colour printings
Use the steps outlined below for foil colour printing
using two foil colour ink cartridges. By associating
each foil colour with a colour (or colour component) in
your application, you can print with two foil colours or
two foil colours plus black. You can use this method
with most applications that support colour.
Requirements
The media and ink cartridge requirements for multi foil
colour printing are the same as in the single foil colour
printing. The only difference being that both gold and
silver foil ink cartridges must be used.
Prepare the image to be printed
Use any application to create the image or document
you want to print. Then set the colours corresponding to
each foil colour you want to use. For example, set the
parts of the image that you want to print in gold foil to
yellow and those of the image that you want to print in
silver foil to grey. When you want to print foil colours
and black simultaneously, you must also specify the
area you want to print in black.
Chapter 4 - Specialised Printing Operations55
Note 1:
Since all of the colour and grayscale data is binarized
in multi colour printing, gradation cannot be
represented.
Note 2:
White portions of data (R=G=B=100%) are not
printed.
In multi foil colour printing, indicate foil colours by
selecting colours in the application that most closely
resemble the foil colours. Try to select colours that
resemble the colours listed in the tables below. In
applications that do not have many colour choices, such
as word processors, closely related colours can be used.

dramatically if the free space on the disk is
extremely fragmented. Clean up your files and
defragment the disk by periodically using a
defragment utility.
80User’s Guide
4Is enough memory allocated?
Colour printing may not be possible if the
memory allocated to the application is
insufficient. Allocate more memory to the
application.
5Are you using memory management tools or virtual
memory?
When you are using memory management tools
such as RAM Doubler or virtual memory,
memory may not be correctly recognised for
colour printing.
If colour printing is not working, try disabling
these utilities and try again.
6Do you have enough disk space?
Make sure there is enough empty space on your
hard disk. (The working space is released once
printing is finished.)
When there is just barely enough working space
left on the disk, printing may take much longer
than normal.
7Is the application set for colour printing? Does the
application support colour printing?
Some applications have colour printing enable/
disable settings. Some applications do not
English
support colour printing. Read the manual for the
application and check the colour settings.
8Are you using many applications at one time?
When very little memory is available for print
processing, printing may take a long time or fail.
Close as many applications as possible and try
again.
Printing is light, distorted, or has gaps
1Has one of the ribbons separated from the
head?
Stop the printing and reinstall all the cartridges.
Take up any slack in the ribbons. If a particular
cartridge repeatedly causes problems, try a
different cartridge.
2Is the head dirty or is there an obstruction on the
print head?
Clean the head by following the directions in
Chapter 5. If anything is stuck to the print head,
remove it, being careful not to damage the head.
The platen often gets dirty at the same time as the
head, so it is recommended that you clean the
platen after cleaning the head.
Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting81
3Is the platen dirty or is there an obstruction on the
platen?
Clean the platen by following the directions in
Chapter 5. If anything is stuck to the platen,
remove it, being careful not to damage the platen.
If cleaning the head and the platen does not work,
contact the supplier from where you purchased
the printer.
4Are you using the correct cartridges for the chosen
printing media?
Use only OKI cartridges for the DP-7000 printer.
When printing transparencies, use only
recommended Transparency Film and Transfer
Film (A3+).
5Are you printing on envelopes, thermal paper, or
picture postcards?
Printing is unreliable on envelopes and other
surfaces which have a non-uniform thickness.
Printing and feeding of thermal paper is
unreliable. The back side of picture postcards
may be printed on if the surface is smooth and the
card thickness is 0.23 mm (0.01") or less, but
printing on the photo side is unreliable.
6Are you printing in colour on the glossy side of a
greeting card?
The glossy side of a greeting card can only be
printed on using metallic cartridges.
7Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?
With VPhoto Film, printing should take place on
the glossy side. The ribbons in the cartridges may
break.
Paper is not feeding or ejecting correctly from the
sheet feeder
1Are you using paper which is thicker or thinner
than recommended?
Use paper within the range 0.07 mm - 0.23 mm
(0.003" - 0.01"). For auto feeding use paper in the
range 0.07 mm - 0.1 mm (0.003" - 0.004").
2Are you using poor quality paper?
Paper that is folded, ripped or has holes, such as
loose leaf binder or refill paper, can cause paper
jams and should not be used.
3Are you using curled paper?
This will cause paper jams. The paper should be
curled the opposite way to flatten it out before it
is used.
82User’s Guide
4Are you using paper with folded or cut corners?
This can cause problems since the paper position
sensor and paper length sensor do not work
properly. Sheets with corner cuts, such as
transparencies and back print film, will work fine
if the corner cut end is placed at the top of the
paper guide.
5Is the cut corner in the correct position?
When these sheets are inserted with the cut
corner incorrectly positioned, they may not feed
correctly.
6Is the paper feed guide too narrow for the paper?
The paper feed guide should hold the paper
loosely enough so that it can feed easily.
7Is there too much paper in the sheet feeder?
The sheet feeder can hold up to 100 sheets of
High Grade Paper, or 30 transparencies, any more
than this may cause a paper jam.
8Is the paper feed switch positioned correctly for the
paper feed method?
To print on High Grade Paper using automatic
feed mode, set the paper feed switch to position
English
“A”; to print in manual feed mode, set it to
position “M”.
9Are you printing on envelopes, thermal paper, or
picture postcards?
Correct printing and feeding of envelopes and
thermal paper cannot be guaranteed. The back
side of picture postcards can be used if the card is
less than 0.23 mm (0.01") thick and manual feed
mode is used. Printing on the photo side is
unreliable.
10Are you using home-made cards or thick cards?
Cards with thickness within the range of 0.07 mm
- 0.23 mm (0.003" - 0.01") can be used in manual
feed mode.
11Are there pages piled up near the output slot or in
the output paper tray?
When printed material obstructs the paper output
slot, the paper feed and paper output may not
work correctly.
12Have you loosened the paper sufficiently prior to
loading it into the sheet feeder?
Paper must be riffled several times prior to being
loaded into the sheet feeder. If not, sheets of
paper may stick to one another and cause
Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting83
multiple sheets to feed into the printer at the same
time, or other forms of misfeed.
a thick piece of paper to remove the small piece
of paper.
The printer emits unusual noises when the power
is turned on, and the error lights blink
1Has the carriage packing material been
removed?
Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction for details on
removing packing material.
2Has the packing tape been removed?
There are two pieces of tape on the front of the
printer that help protect the printer during
shipping. Gently remove the tape before using the
printer.
3Has a cartridge become dislodged from the cartridge
holder?
Open the front cover and make sure the cartridges
are correctly installed.
4Is there a paper jam?
Clear a paper jam by refering to ‘Clearing Paper
Jams’ in this Chapter. Occasionally a small piece
of paper will tear off and remain in the printer. If
this happens, hold the release lever down and use
A mechanism or cartridge change error occurred
1Are the cartridges installed correctly?
If a cartridge has become dislodged from its
holder, a cartridge change error will occur. Open
the front cover and reinstall the cartridge.
2Are you using the printer on a level surface?
The printer will not operate correctly on a slanted
surface. Place it on a level, stable surface.
3Is the printer in a place where it is subject to
movement?
Various movements such as bumps and vibrations
can cause mechanical problems. Place the printer
in an environment where it will not be subject to
movement.
4Is the front cover properly closed?
The printer will not operate correctly if the front
cover is not closed properly. Close the front cover
all the way.
84User’s Guide
5Are items stacked on top of the printer?
The printer may malfunction if items are stacked
on top or to the side of the printer. Remove any
obstruction on top or to the side of the printer.
6Is there an obstruction in front of the paper output
slot?
If the paper output slot is obstructed, paper
ejected from the printer can fold or bend and
cause the printer to malfunction. When printing,
make sure that the paper output slot is
unobstructed and that there is room for paper to
be ejected.
Ink cartridges are not correctly recognised
1Is the bar code on the cartridge dirty?
Clean the bar code.
2Is the cartridge installed in the holder with the (A)
side up?
Make sure the cartridges are placed in the holder
with the identification markings (B side) facing
up.
3Has an ink cartridge for a different printer been
installed?
Cartridges made by other manufacturers will not
work. Use only OKI recommended cartridges.
Printing quality, hue, and resolution queries
1Can all four colours of the colour inks be
combined for black and white printing?
If Darker Black is set in colour printing or if the
brightness and contrast settings are correct, 4-
colour black is possible. To print only with black,
turn off
Darker Black, and return the Image
setting under Image Settings to default.
For monochrome printing, select Greyscale
under Document Type.
2Black is printed with black ink, but grey portions
are printed using four colours.
In colour printing, greyscale intermediate colours
(such as grey) are printed using four colours. If
you want to print only in black ink, set the Type
setting in the Print dialogue box to Greyscale.
3When coloured paper is used for full colour printing,
the colours are not reproduced correctly.
Colour printing is based upon the ink being
printed on a white background, so correct colours
cannot be reproduced on coloured paper.
English
Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting85
Ink and paper
1How should I use opaque white ink?
Opaque white ink can be used as follows:
Opaque white ink can be used for white base
printing. It is possible to do a white base print
which is necessary for the dummy design for film
packaging.
2Is it OK to print using the opaque white ink on top
of a full colour image?
Print with Opaque white ink for full-colour
printing.
3For full colour printing and glossy finishing, may I
use any type of paper?
We suggest using High Grade Paper, Press Paper
or VPhoto Film for full colour printing. Using
other types of paper can produce a poor image.
Connection method
1Can I connect multiple DP printers to a single
computer?
If different SCSI device numbers are used,
multiple printers can be connected to a single
Macintosh. Of course, simultaneous printing is
not possible.
2Can I connect a single DP printer to multiple
computers?
No, the printer is not designed for this.
Other operational problems
1Is this printer compatible with PostScript?
The DP-7000 printer uses QuickDraw. It is not
compatible with PostScript.
However, it is possible to use DP-7000 printer for
PostScript printing by using the DP-7000 RIP
(software RIP).
2EPS files cannot be output clearly.
Since EPS files are data files for PostScript
printers, images at 72 dpi may be output from
QuickDraw depending on the application.
3Are enlargements and reductions possible?
Set either the enlargement or the reduction rate in
the Reduce or Enlarge setting in the Page Setup
dialogue box. This value may be specified
between 25 and 400.
4The preview doesn’t change even though I change
the reduction or enlargement in the Page Setup
dialogue box.
86User’s Guide
The preview will not change size with different
reduction or enlargement settings. Check the size
after printing to see that the changes took effect.
5How do I uninstall the printer driver?
Remove the DP-7000 printer driver from the
Extensions folder in the System Folder, and
remove the DP-7000 Preferences file from the
Preferences folder.
6Why can I not print correctly with page layout
settings?
There are application programs that allow you to
format a document correspond of both
orientations of portrait and landscape. When
printing such document with layout (move than 2
pages per sheet), it may not print properly.
