Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your OKIDATA printer has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer:

- Read the setup and operating instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for

future reference.

- Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself.

- Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

- Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked, causing the printer to overheat.

- To protect your printer from overheating, make sure all openings on the printer are not blocked. Dont put the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register. If you put it in any kind of enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated

- Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.

- Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back of the printer. If you're not sure, check with your dealer or with your local power company.

- Your printer has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety feature, and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. If you cant plug it in, chances are you have an older, non-grounded outlet; contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.

- To avoid damaging the power cord, dont put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.

- If you're using an extension cord or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of

the amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension's

rating. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet should not exceed 15 amperes.

- Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.

- Aside from the routine maintenance described in this handbook, don't try to service the printer yourself; opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. Don't make

any adjustments other than those outlined in the handbookyou may cause damage

requiring extensive repair work. See Problem Solving in this manual for information on how

to get your printer serviced by qualified OKIDATA technicians.

- If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and follow the procedures in the Handbook for having your printer serviced. These are some of the things to look for:

The power cord 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. The printer doesn't function normally when you're following the operating

instructions.

Interfacing with your Computer

Your printer has both a high-speed, bi-directional parallel interface port and a RS232C serial interface port. Which you use depends on your system and your needs. Your dealer can suggest the appropriate cable.

To comply with FCC regulations, the cable must be PC manual for details on cable requirements and interface ports on your computer.

See Appendix B (

) for information on using the RS232C serial interface.

shielded and UL and CSA approved. Consult your

Connecting the Cable

Make sure the printer and computer are off (1). Insert the printer end of the cable firmly into the proper connector on the back of the printer (parallel, 2; serial, 3). Fasten the cable to the printer securely. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper connector on your computer. Fasten the cable securely to your computer.

Automatic Interface Switching

Your printer automatically detects which port is sending data and activates that interface. This means that in most cases you don't have to do anything to set up the interface. Usually the default interface settings wont need any changes.

Be sure to test the interface, especially if you're using the serial interface. If you have problems, check the interface settings on your printers menu against the requirements in your computer manual. See Using the Menus for information on how to reconfigure the interfaces using Menu 2(

A font is a set of letters and other characters with a common design and style. The OL810e has resident scalable fonts, which you can print in any size from 4 points to 999.75 points. It also has the bitmapped Line Printer font, and the USPS Zip barcode font.

Printing a Font Page

1. Press ON-LINE to take printer off-line.

2. Press and hold TRAY TYPE/Print Fonts until PRINT FONTS displays.

3. The font page prints.

Whats on the Font Page

The font page prints samples of every resident, card, and soft font in the printer. It also gives the following information about each font:

- Font No.(Font ID): Use this number to select fonts in the printer menu.

- Font Name: The name of the font or typeface.

- Style: Upright or italic.Weight: Medium or bold.

- Pitch (CPI): Fixed or Proportional characters per inch.

- Point Size: Height for bitmapped; Scale = scalable fonts.

Selecting Fonts in Your Software

The easiest way to select fonts is through your software program. Your software can send a printer command that consists of a set of codes, one for each of the font characteristics. If your software has the appropriate driver, you can specify the font you want, and it will send the necessary commands to the printer. For detailed information on how to select fonts in your software package, refer to your software documentation.

Font Cards

These options add bitmapped fonts without taking up memory. Simply turn off the printer and insert the card into the slot with the label facing the inside of the printer. Then select Font Card in your software printer driver see your software documentation for details.

Available cards:

(PN 70026401)

(PN 70026301) additional Swiss and Line Draw fonts for tax forms; equivalent to HP

Soft Fonts

Downloaded fonts, also known as soft fonts, must first be created using a software package such as Bitstream

Fontware, and are then downloaded to the printers memory. If your software package supports soft fonts, theyre engaged just like resident or card fonts. Soft fonts are removed from memory when the printer is turned off.

Remember that downloading fonts takes time and consumes printer memory. If you have problems with insufficient printer memory, consider adding more memory. To compensate for occasional problems, try switching to a smaller font, or remove fonts you are not presently using from memory.

Toner Cartridge Life

How long your toner cartridge lasts depends on the print density, the percentage of the page that prints black.

- A typical letter has 3% to 5% print density, graphics usually have higher density.

- Higher print density means toner is used up faster.

- At 5% print density, a toner cartridge will print an average of 2,000 pages. Remember, this is only an average actual results may vary.

The first toner cartridge in your new printer has to fill the drum reservoir and saturate the developing roller with toner. Its normal that the first cartridge will produce about 1,000 pages.

When to Replace the Toner Cartridge

Replace the toner cartridge after TONER LOW displays in the control panel window. After TONER LOW displays, the printer will print 100 more sheets, then display TONER EMPTY and stop printing. Printing will resume when a new toner cartridge is installed.

Instructions for installing the new toner cartridge are included in the toner cartridge kit (Part Number

52107201).

Drum and Toner are consumables and as such are subject to a 90-day warranty.

Image Drum Cartridge Life

The life of an image drum depends on a number of factors, including temperature and humidity, the type of paper you use, and the number of pages per job.

The image drum cartridge should last about 12,000 pages at one page per job,16,000 pages at three pages per job, 18,000 pages at seven pages per job and 20,000 pages at fifteen pages per job. These numbers are approximate since you wont print the same number of pages each time, and environmental conditions and paper type used may vary.

When to Replace the Image Drum Cartridge

When the drum reaches 90% of its life, the CHG DRUM message displays. At this point, be sure you have a new drum on hand so you can replace the old one as soon as the print quality becomes faint or starts to deteriorate.

Follow the instructions in the new image drum cartridge kit (Part Number 56116801) to install your new image drum cartridge and reset the image drum counter.

Drum and Toner are consumables and as such are subject to a 90-day warranty.
