If using an extension cable or power strip
ensure that the total current rating (amperes)
of all connected equipment is less than the
maximum rating of the extension cable, power
strip or wall outlet. Otherwise fire or shock
may occur.

Ensure the power cable is routed so as not to

APER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of
paper weights and sizes, transparencies. 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 weight
20 – 24 lb (75 – 90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and
laser printers. Suitable types are:

> OKI® Bright White, 32 lb US Bond
> HammerMill® Laser Print Radiant, White, 24 lb US Bond
> Xerox® 4024, 20 lb US Bond

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.

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers
and laser printers. 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. Suitable types are:

> Avery White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or

5161 (Letter)

ISPLAY PANEL MESSAGES

There are four types of display panel message:

> Status information
> Menu (functions) information
> Configuration information
> Help information

S

TATUS INFORMATION

Status information is associated with three printer states:

In the Information state, such as idling or printing, the printer
is able to process print jobs.

In the Warning state, the printer has encountered some minor
problem but is still able to process print jobs.

In the Error state, the printer has encountered a problem and
cannot continue printing until the user has intervened and
removed the cause of the trouble.

The top two lines of the display panel show the printer status. The
bottom of the display panel normally shows a bar chart of the toner
usage.

menus are available to the general user to make various
settings that are used in the running of the printer.

Administrator menu: accessed by pressing the Enter button
for more than 2 seconds while turning on the printer power
supply (including Restart). Available to administrator level
users. Restricts the changes that general users can make via
the user menus.

System maintenance menu: accessed by pressing the Up-
arrow and Down-arrow buttons together for more than 2
seconds while turning on the printer power supply (including

User’s Guide> 36

Restart). Available to support staff to allow printer
configurations and special functions to be set.

C

ONFIGURATION INFORMATION

information such as internal firmware versions.

Menu options at each level can be scrolled through by moving the
highlight with the Up-arrow/Down-arrow buttons and a
highlighted option at that level can be selected by pressing the
Enter button. When the lowest level menu has been selected, you
can change the setting for that menu by selecting the required
highlighted value from a list or by entering a numeric value. In other
cases, you can display or print configuration information.

ISPLAY PANEL MESSAGES

The display panel messages, supplemented by the Help messages
where appropriate, are intended to be self-explanatory. More

U

SING THE MENUS

NOTE
Menu details are given in “Appendix B – Menu system” on

page 108 for reference.

The Enter, Up-arrow, Down-arrow and Back buttons are used to
move through the printer menus. You can adjust settings (e.g. set
the paper size for Tray 1) or view information (e.g. how much is left
of a selected consumable).

Many of these menu settings can be, and often are, overridden by
settings in the Windows printer drivers. However, several of the
driver settings can be left at "Printer Setting," which will then default
to the settings entered in these printer menus.

User’s Guide> 37

The steps involved in using the menus are typically as follows:

1. Ensure that the display panel indicates that the printer is
ready to print.

2. Enter User menu mode by pressing either the Enter button
or the Up-arrow or Down-arrow button and press the
latter two repeatedly until the desired menu is highlighted in
the displayed list.

3. Press the Enter button to select this menu.

4. Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow buttons repeatedly

until the desired Item is highlighted.

5. Press the Enter button to select this Item.

6. Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow buttons repeatedly

until the desired Value is highlighted.

7. Press the Enter button to select this Value. (If you are
setting a parameter, ensure that an asterisk (*) appears
beside the selected parameter Value.)

8. Press the Online button to exit menu mode and return to the
ready to print status.

Refer to the section entitled “Getting started” on page 42 and

“Appendix B – Menu system” on page 108 for examples of using the

menus.

NTERFACES AND CONNECTION

Your printer is equipped with a selection of data interfaces:

> Parallel – For direct connection to a PC. This port requires a

bi-directional (IEEE 1284 compliant) parallel cable.

> USB – This port requires a cable conforming to USB version

2.0 or above.

The printer may not work if a USB- compatible device is
connected concurrently with other USB-compatible machines.

When connecting multiple printers of the same type, they
appear as *****, ***** (2), ***** (3), etc. These numbers
depend on the order of connecting or turning on each printer.

> Ethernet – For network cable connection.

NOTE
Interface cables are not supplied with your printer.

ONSUMABLES AND MAINTENANCE

This section explains how to replace consumable and maintenance
items when due. As a guide, the life expectancy of these items is:

> Black Toner — 18,500 Letter pages at 5% coverage.
> Cyan, Magenta, Yellow Toner— 16,500 Letter pages at 5%

coverage

The printer is shipped with sufficient toner for 7,500 Letter
pages in the print cartridges of which 1 – 2,000 Letter pages
of toner are used to charge the image drum.

> Image drum — 42,000 Letter pages average life
> Transfer belt — Approximately 100,000 Letter pages
> Fuser — Approximately 100,000 Letter pages
> Waste toner — 30,000 Letter pages average life

C

HECKING CONSUMABLE/MAINTENANCE ITEM USAGE

At any time, you can check how much of each consumable/
maintenance item is left by using the appropriate menus. For
example, enter the menu system and follow the path:

Configuration>Supplies Life>Cyan Toner

The percentage of Cyan Toner remaining is displayed on the display
panel and the printer then returns to the ready to print status.

R

EPLACEMENT INDICATIONS

The display panel provides messages to the effect that
consumables/maintenance items are running low or nearing end of
life followed some time later by a message that replacement is
required. You should replace the item as soon as possible after this
message is displayed to avoid the possibility of print quality being
compromised.

The paper feed rollers and the tray feed rollers do not have any
replacement warning messages. Recommended replacement: after
approximately 120,000 sheets.
