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 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. Don’t 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 to the paper trays.

• 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 can’t 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, don’t 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 are 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.

• Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the handbook: you may cause damage requiring extensive repair work. See Section 5 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 Section 5 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.

• The printer must be installed near a power outlet which remains easily accessible.

Using Recycled Print Media

Recycled paper should be restricted to 20% to 35% Post Consumer Content and not exceed 50%. Paper must be relatively stiff and have minimum edge curl. Paper should be white and bright for maximum contrast. The surface should be smooth, clean, and stable electrically and dimensionally.

Recycled paper used by OKIDATA printers must be specifically denoted by the paper manufacturer to be for laser printers, or laser guaranteed or compatible. Using media outside these specifications may cause

problems requiring service that will not be covered by OKIDATA warranty or service agreements.

The following recycled paper has been tested and approved for use in OKIDATA printers.

• Weyerhaeuser, Lynx Opaque, 20% PCW, 20lb., 28 lb. and Laser Copy, 20 lb.

• International Paper, Beckett Division, Enhanced Marble, 50% Recycled, 20% PCW, 24lb.

Guidelines for Transparencies and Labels

• Always use manual feed.

• Always use rear output when printing transparencies and adhesive labels.

• Should be specifically made for laser printers or photocopiers.

• Must be able to withstand heat of 200°C for 0.1 second.

• Labels should cover the entire carrier sheet–carrier and adhesive must not be exposed to any part of the printer.

• Use rear paper output – to reduce heat exposure and curling.

Printer Maintenance

This Section provides the following printer maintenance information:

• Replacing the Toner Cartridge

• Replacing the Image Drum

• Cleaning the LED Array

• Printing a Cleaning Page

Replacing The Toner Cartridge

Replace the toner cartridge after TONER LOW displays on the printer’s front operator panel, or on your screen in the Status Monitor if you have installed the printer software. 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.

1. You will need a new toner cartridge (Type 5 Toner Kit, Part#52109001).

2. Open the printer cover.

3. Grasp the lock lever and pull towards the front of the printer to unlock the cartridge. Lift out carefully and discard the used toner cartridge.

4. To install a new toner cartridge, follow the instruction in Section 1 (or the instructions included in the toner cartridge kit).

5. Be sure to clean the LED array.

➯

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

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.

OKIPAGE

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

Printer Maintenance 3

Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge

When the image drum reaches 90% of its life, the CHANGE DRUM message will display on the printer’s front operator panel and on your screen in the Status Monitor if you have installed the printer software. Change the image drum cartridge when the print becomes faint or begins to deteriorate. It’s a good idea to keep a new cartridge on hand.

1. You will need a new image drum cartridge (Type 5 Image Drum Cartridge Kit, Part#40433305) and a new toner cartridge (Type 5 Toner Kit, Part#52109001).

2. Open the printer cover.

3. Lift out the used image drum cartridge with toner installed.

Image Drum Cartridge Life

The life of the image drum depends on a number of factors, including the operating temperature, humidity, the type of paper you use, and the number of pages per job. Each time you print or power on/off, the drum has to rotate to start up and to wind down. As a result, frequent one page print jobs will wear down your drum more quickly than multiple-page print jobs. The image drum cartridge should last up to 10,000 pages at 1 page per job, or 20,000 pages at 3 pages per job (continuous printing). These numbers are approximate since you won’t print the same number of pages each time, and environmental conditions and paper type used may vary.

Cleaning the LED Arra y

Clean the LED array each time you install a new toner cartridge, or if you have faded vertical areas or light printing down a page.

The LED array is on the underside of the printer cover. Wipe it gently with the cleaning pad that is included in the toner cartridge kit. You can also use a clean, soft cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on it.

4. Remove the new image drum cartridge from the package. To install the new image drum cartridge, follow the installation instructions in Section 1 (or the instructions included in the replacement kit).

Clearing Paper Jams

To reduce paper jams:

• Do not fill tray above Paper Full mark.

• Use only recommended paper weight

- Manual feed: 16 to 32 lb (60 to 120.5 g/m

• Do not open the cover, or remove the paper tray during a print job.

• Do not switch paper exit paths while printing.

• Use paper that is smooth and of high quality.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it, and keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Avoid printing on both sides of the paper for more than a few pages, or preprinted documents that have been in a photocopier.

• Try paper before you buy in quantity.

If a paper jam message displays, remove the jam using the instructions that follow.

documents.

Problem: Command sent is not a true printer command, generally

because the ESC character was not sent.

Solution: Before sending control codes through an application,

make sure the ESC character can be entered, and is entered properly.

Symptom: Parts of documents are missing at the edges of the

printed sheet.

Problem: Software is attempting to print beyond the printer’s

maximum image area.

Solution: Adjust software page margins to printer’s maximum

margins (8" X 10” for standard sheets).

➦

Problem Solving 4

Symptom: Print job started with italics, changed to bold, but italics

still output.

Problem: Font selection is by priority, and italic is “higher” than

bold.

Solution: Turn italics off before turning bold on.

Symptom: Printer ignores control codes sent prior to printing a

document.

Problem: The application software automatically sends a reset

command before printing.

Solution: Embed the control codes in the text to be printed.

Symptom: “Garbage” prints out. Problem: Incorrect driver is installed.

Solution: Install an appropriate driver.

Symptom: Printer’s output is below rated speed. Problem: Delays are caused by software formatting routines,

graphics downloads, and other application specific factors.

Solution: For maximum speed, output plain text.

Problem: In Epson FX Emulation, when command for 66 lines is

sent to the printer, printer prints only 64 lines on a page, looses the 65 and 66 line and prints 67th line on the second page.

Solution: Set line spacing to 35/216 with a software command ESC

“3” Pn (Pn=number of 216ths). Then send the command to set the page length to 66 lines per page, ESC C Pn (Pn = number of lines per page).

Symptom: Strange symbols appear during normal printing. Problem: Wrong symbol set. Solution: Make sure the symbol set selected corr esponds to symbol

set resident, in font card, or in soft font.

Symptom: Size of top margin increases with each page printed. Problem: “Creeping text.” Number of lines per page in software is

not equal to number of lines per page of printer.

Solution: Many software packages assume 66 lines per page, but

your printer’s default is 60. Adjust software accordingly, or set LINES/ Pg in Menu 1 to equal lines per page in software.

Hardware Problems

Symptom: Graphic image prints partly on one page, partly on the

next.

Problem: Insufficient printer memory for this image at this

resolution.

Solution: Change the resolution, reduce the image size, or install

more memory in your printer.

Symptom: Nothing happens, but printer indicates it is ready to

receive data.

Problem: Configuration error. Solution: Check cable connection; if serial, make sure appropriate

MODE command has been used (PC). If more than one printer is available, make sure your printer has been selected. Make sure your printer is on-line.

Symptom: “Garbage” prints. Problem: Incorrect cable configuration. (Also, see “Software

Problems.”)

Solution: Check cable configuration, continuity, and length. Symptom: Printer freezes or displays error message when computer

is rebooted.

Problem: Booting the computer while the printer is on can cause a

communications error.

Solution: Take printer off-line before rebooting computer.

4 Problem Solving

Problem: Gases are given off by forms or adhesives passing

through the hot fusing unit.

Solution: Make sure the forms you use can withstand heating, and

provide adequate ventilation.

Overnight Exchange

Available in the United States and Canada

If you choose to use our Overnight Exchange service, call 1-800-OKIDATA: our trained personnel will try to solve your problem over the phone. If they determine that your printer hardware is defective, an exchange machine will be shipped to you via air express. Have your credit card available as our representative will be asking for this information. You will receive the exchange machine the next business day—or no later than the second business day.

Return the original machine to OKIDATA by using the same packaging materials you received with the exchange printer, and making it available to pickup by OKIDATA’s representative within 2 business days from your receipt of the exchange machine: failure to do so may result in your being charged the full price of the exchange unit . Before you ship the printer, remove the image drum and toner cartridge to prevent damage to the printer during shipment: failure to do so may result in a fee for cleaning/repairs which will be charged to your account.

When Overnight Exchange is used, the returned machine becomes the property of OKIDATA. Exchange machines may be new or repaired, at the option of OKIDATA: the exchange machine becomes the property of the customer when the returned machine had been picked up by OKIDATA’s designated carrier. The exchange printer will be warranted for thirty (30) days or the remaining warranty period of the returned printer, whichever is longer.

Overnight Exchange of the printer for a printhead failure is limited to one year from date of purchase. For the remaining printhead warranty period, replacement will be at an authorized service center or authorized third party service organization. Call 1-800-OKIDATA for authorized service locations.
