When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer  
through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face up. This is  
mainly used for heavy print media. When used in conjunction with the  
multipurpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is  
essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in  
the paper path and enables feeding of up to 203g/m² media.

PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS  
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of  
paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. 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 75~90g/m²  
paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:  
>
>
Ajro Wiggins Colour Solutions 90g/m²;  
Colour Copy by Neuisedlier.  
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.  
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They  
should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains  
intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of  
printer. Window envelopes are not suitable.  
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and  
laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki transparencies (Order  
No. 01074101). 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);  
>
Kokuyo A693X series (A4) or A650 (B5).

(Tray 2 only)  
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you  
have one, or multipurpose tray) you can have the printer automatically  
switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When  
printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the  
driver settings. (See “Printer Settings in Windows” later in this guide.)  
When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print  
Menu. (See “Menu Functions” later in this guide.)  
MULTIPURPOSE TRAY  
The multipurpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays  
but in weights up to 203g/m². For very heavy paper stock use the face  
up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the  
printer is almost straight.  
The multipurpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm and  
lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).  
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper stock  
between 90g/m² and 128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.  
Use the multipurpose tray for printing on envelopes and  
transparencies. Up to 50 sheets of transparencies or 10 envelopes  
can be loaded at one time, subject to a maximum stacking depth of  
10mm.  
Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge  
into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two sided printing) function.  
PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS > 14

FACE DOWN STACKER  
The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 250  
sheets of 80g/m² standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to  
176g/m². Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted  
in reading order (last page on top, facing down).  
FACE UP STACKER  
The face up stacker at the rear of the printer should be opened and the  
tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this condition  
paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.  
The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m² standard  
paper, and can handle stocks up to 203g/m².  
Always use this stacker and the multipurpose feeder for paper stocks  
heavier than 176g/m².  
DUPLEX UNIT  
This option provides automatic two sided printing on the same range  
of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper  
stocks from 75-105g/m².

type of paper stock.  
>
>
Do not load damaged paper.  
Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the same  
time.  
>
Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as  
described below for the 2nd tray).  
>
Close the paper tray gently.  
5.  
If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st (upper)  
tray, you can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during printing to  
reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do not  
pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will cause a paper jam.

PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS  
Your printer’s operator panel menus provide access to many options.  
The Windows printer driver also contains settings for many of these  
items. Where items in the printer driver are the same as those in the  
operator panel menus, and you print documents from Windows, the  
settings in the Windows printer driver will override those items in the  
operator panel menus.  
The illustrations in this chapter show Windows XP. Windows 2000  
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the same.  
PCL OR POSTSCRIPT  
Two printer drivers are supplied with your printer: one for PCL  
emulation, and the other for PostScript 3 emulation. If you print  
mainly from general “Office” applications choose the PCL driver. For  
faster printing of PDF documents, choose PostScript. If you print  
mainly from professional DTP and graphics applications, choose  
PostScript.  
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS  
APPLICATIONS  
When you choose to print your  
document from a Windows  
application program a print  
dialogue box appears. This  
dialogue usually specifies the  
name of the printer on which you  
will print your document. Next to  
the printer name is a Properties  
button.  
When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a  
short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which you can  
choose for this document.  
The window which opens when you click Properties depends on which  
printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver offers different  
choices to the PCL driver.

2.  
3.  
When printing double  
sided pages (duplex  
unit required). You can flip the paper either on its long edge or  
short edge.  
Pages can be printed in forward or reverse order. If using the  
face down (top) paper stacker, forward order is usually  
appropriate to ensure that pages are stacked in numerical  
order. If using the face up (rear) paper stacker, reverse order  
would normally stack your pages in numerical order.  
4.  
You can specify how many pages to print on a sheet. Pages will  
be scaled to fit the number you choose. If you choose booklet  
printing (requires duplex unit) two pages will automatically be  
set, and pages will be printed with the correct pages opposite  
one another so that folding the stacked printout produces a  
booklet.  
5.  
Advanced options are also available, such as how to download  
TrueType fonts, and whether advanced options such as  
booklet printing are available.  
The printer driver contains extensive on-line help for these items to  
help you make the most appropriate choices.

PCL EMULATION  
When you click the Properties button from your application’s Print  
dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your  
printing preferences for this document.  
1.  
Paper size should be  
the same as the page  
size of your document  
(unless you wish to  
scale the printout to fit  
another size), and  
should also be the  
same as the size of  
paper you will feed into  
the printer.

2.  
3.  
You can choose the source of the paper to feed, which may be  
Tray 1 (the standard paper tray), Tray 2 (if you have the  
optional 2nd paper tray installed) or the multipurpose feeder.  
You can also click on the appropriate part of the screen graphic  
to select your preferred tray.  
A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such  
as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be any  
number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages at more than  
one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints two pages per  
sheet on each side of the paper so that when folded they make  
up a booklet. Booklet printing requires the duplex unit to be  
installed in your printer.  
Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over  
multiple sheets.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
For two sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by the  
long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires that a  
duplex unit be installed in your printer.  
If you have changed some printing preferences before and  
saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having to set  
them individually each time you need them.  
A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

When you click Properties a new window opens which contains a  
short list of the printer settings available in the driver, which you can  
choose for this document.  
The window which opens when you click Properties depends on which  
printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver offers different  
choices to the PCL driver.

A variety of document finishing options can be selected, such  
as normal one page per sheet, or N-up (where N can be any  
number up to 16) for printing scaled down pages at more than  
one page per sheet. Booklet printing prints two pages per  
sheet on each side of the paper so that when folded they make  
up a booklet. Booklet printing requires the duplex unit to be  
installed in your printer.  
Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over  
multiple sheets.  
4.

6.  
For two sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by the  
long edge or the short edge. Of course, this requires that a  
duplex unit be installed in your printer.  
If you have changed some printing preferences before and  
saved them as a set, you can recall them to avoid having to set  
them individually each time you need them.  
A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

COLOUR PRINTING  
CHOOSING 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.  
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.  
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 makes  
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.  
MATCHING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES  
RGB only  
Oki Colour Matching is a generally a good choice. Select a matching  
method appropriate to your monitor.  
WINDOWS 9X DIFFERENCES > 40  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
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 by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles  
as the Print Space (or Output space).  
MATCHING SPECIFIC COLOURS  
(For instance, a Company logo.)

PCL DRIVER  
ACCESSING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS  
The Colour Matching options in the printer driver can be used to help  
match your printed colours to the ones displayed on your monitor or  
from some other source, such as a digital camera.  
The PCL driver’s colour options are only designed to work with RGB  
data. If you are printing CMYK data, we recommend you use the  
PostScript driver.  
To open colour matching options from  
the Windows Control Panel:  
1.  
Open the Printers window.  
Right-click the printer name  
and choose Properties.  
2.  
Click the Printing Preferences  
button (1).  
1
To open colour matching options from  
within a Windows application:  
1.  
2.  
Choose File—Print… from the application’s menu bar.  
Click the Properties button next to the printer name.

SETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS  
1.  
On the Colour tab select  
Manual for Colour Matching.

2.  
Choose from the available  
options:  
(a)  
Monitor (6500k)  
Perceptual  
Optimised for printing  
daylight photographs.  
(b)  
(c)  
(d)  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimised for printing bright colours. Good for office  
graphics.  
Monitor (9300k)  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a  
professional graphics monitor.  
Digital Camera  
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital  
camera. This tends to produce prints with lighter and  
brighter colours. For some photographs, other settings  
may be better depending on the subjects and the  
conditions under which they were taken.  
(e)  
sRGB  
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a  
company logo colour. The colours within the printer's  
colour gamut are printed without any modification, and  
only colours that fall outside the printable colours are  
modified.

USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE  
The Colour Swatch function prints  
charts which contain a range of sample  
colours. Note that this is not the full  
range of colours that the printer can  
produce. Listed on 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. Simply click the Color Swatch  
button (1) and choose from the options  
available.  
1
An example of using the Colour Swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you  
would follow are:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that best  
suits your needs.  
Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that you  
liked.  
Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB  
values, and change the logo to that colour.  
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. Here, it is unimportant since your primary objective  
is to print the required colour.

POSTSCRIPT DRIVER  
COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS  
The PostScript driver offers several different methods of controlling  
the colour output of the printer.  
Some of the colour matching options only work on certain types of  
data. The table below summarises the various options available, and  
what types of data they affect.

Perceptual settings are best for printing photographic images.  
Vivid or Digital Camera settings produce brightest colours.  
sRGB is the best choice for matching specific colours (such as  
printing logos).  
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a  
colour temperature of 6500K.  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimised for printing bright colours when using a monitor with a  
colour temperature of 6500K. Good for office graphics and text.  
Monitor (9300k)  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a  
colour temperature of 9300K.

Digital Camera  
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This  
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colours. For some  
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects  
and the conditions under which they were taken.  
sRGB  
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company logo  
colour.  
The colours within the printer's colour gamut are printed without any  
modification, and only colours that fall outside the gamut (set of)  
printable colours are modified.  
POSTSCRIPT COLOUR MATCHING  
This uses PostScript Colour Rendering Dictionaries built into the  
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.  
Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the  
document’s colour space to the printer colour space. The rendering  
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this colour  
conversion takes place.  
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed below:  
>
Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source  
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall  
appearance of an image. This may change the overall  
appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.  
>
Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours, but less  
accurately matched. This makes it the recommended choice for  
graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colours in  
the source gamut to fully saturated colours in the printer’s  
gamut.  
WINDOWS 9X DIFFERENCES > 46  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
>
Absolute Colorimetric  
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 on screen. 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.  
>
Relative Colorimetric  
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. Unlike Absolute  
Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into  
account.  
CMYK INK SIMULATION  
Affects CMYK data only.  
This option simulates what the output will look like on a printing press  
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Toyo. If using CMYK Ink  
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer  
Colour Matching. Select the No Colour Matching option under the  
Colour Match option in the printer driver.  
WINDOWS ICM COLOUR MATCHING  
Affects RGB data only.  
ICM is the colour management system built into 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.  
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the colour  
profiles may already be associated with the driver.  
To associate ICC Colour Profiles with the printer driver:  
1.  
Access the printer settings via the Start menu.  
WINDOWS 9X DIFFERENCES > 47

2.  
3.  
4.  
Right-click the printer name and choose Properties.

Under “Colour Profiles currently associated with this printer”,  
you should see the names of profiles that match your printer  
model. If you do not see any profiles associated with the  
driver, click “Add…” and locate the ICC profiles for your  
printer.  
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.

OVERLAYS AND MACROS  
NOTE  
PostScript overlays are not available for Windows 95/98/Me.  
CREATING PCL OVERLAYS  
Three steps are required to create an overlay:  
1.  
Create the form data using your own application software and  
print it to a printer (.PRN) file.  
2.  
Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on  
CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import the .PRN  
file, and download the generated filter (.BIN) files to the  
printer.  
3.  
Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use with  
any future document.  
When printing files to disk, do not select any special features,  
such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are not  
appropriate to macros, they apply only to your final  
documents.  
Step 1: Creating the overlay image  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program,  
to create the required image and save it.  
Open your application’s  
Print… dialogue.  
1
Make sure that the  
selected printer  
2
name (1) is that of your  
PCL printer driver.  
4.  
5.  
Select the Print To  
File (2) option.  
Click on Properties and ensure that all driver settings are  
appropriate for the print job.  
WINDOWS 9X DIFFERENCES > 49

6.  
7.  
Click OK, and when prompted for a print file name, enter a  
meaningful name with the extension .PRN.  
Close your application.  
Step 2: Create and download macros  
NOTE  
Ensure that the Storage Device Manager has been installed (on the  
Printer Drivers CD, “Software Utilities”).  
1.  
From the Windows Start/Programs/Okidata menu, start  
Storage Device Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the  
printer.  
2.  
3.  
Choose Projects→New Project to start a new project.  
Choose Projects→Filter Macro File. The Filter Printer Patterns  
dialogue box appears. Make any adjustments in the settings  
that you need and then click OK.  
Example: If you create a black oval in MS Paint and leave all the  
colour command filters checked, the black oval will print as a  
black rectangle when the overlay is used. To maintain the oval  
shape, turn off (deselect) the “Configure Image Data,” “Palette  
ID” and “Palette Control” filters.  
4.  
5.  
Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files (*.prn).  
Navigate to the folder where the overlay .PRN files are stored  
and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.  
You can have more than one macro file in a project. For  
example, one for top pages and another for continuation  
pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl keys) to  
select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.  
6.  
Click Open to add these files to the current project. (You can  
also drag and drop files from Windows Explorer directly into  
the project window if you prefer.) When a message box  
appears confirming that a filter file has been created, click OK  
to clear the message.

7.  
The project window will display one .BIN file for each printer  
file added. Make a careful note of the name and ID number for  
each of the files. You will need them later.  
If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click the  
file entry and edit the details. Volume details are as follows:  
0 = printer’s disk drive PCL partition;  
1 = printer’s disk drive Common partition;  
%disk0% = printer’s disk drive PostScript partition;  
2 = flash memory PCL  
%Flash0% = flash memory PostScript  
NOTE  
The names are case sensitive, and will be needed later exactly as they  
appear in this list.  
8.  
9.  
Choose Projects→Save Project and enter a meaningful name  
(e.g. “Letter Stationery”) so that you can recognise it.  
Choose Projects→Send Project Files to Printer to download  
the project to the printer.  
10. When the message “Command Issued” appears confirming  
that the download is complete, click OK to clear the message.  
Test printing the macro  
1.  
2.  
Choose Printers→Test Macro.  
In the Test Macro window, enter its ID number and click OK.  
After a short pause the printer will print the macro.  
3.  
4.  
When each macro has been tested, click Exit.  
Click the standard Windows Close (X) button, or choose  
Projects→Exit to close Storage Device Manager.  
Step 3: Defining overlays  
This is the final step before the new overlays are ready for use.  
1.  
Open the Printers window via the Start menu or the Windows  
Control Panel.  
WINDOWS 9X DIFFERENCES > 51

5.  
In the Define Overlays window,  
enter the name (a) and ID (b) of  
the required overlay, as noted in  
step 2, para 7, and define which  
1
page(s) (c) of your documents will  
use this overlay. Then click the  
Add button (1) to add this overlay  
a
b
c
to the list of defined overlays.  
Repeat for any other related  
2
overlays (this will create a “group”  
of overlays). When done, click the Close button (2) to close the  
window.  
Remember that names and IDs of overlay files must be entered  
exactly as they appeared in the Storage Device Manager project  
window. Remember also that names are case sensitive.  
If you forgot to note the overlay name or ID when you created  
them, you can find them using Storage Device Manager to view  
the project file, or the printer’s Information Menu to print a file  
list and identify them from there.  
The new overlays will now appear in the Defined Overlays list in  
the printer properties window.  
6.  
When done, click OK to close the printing preferences window.  
Your new overlays are now ready and available to be used for any  
future documents you wish.

OPERATION  
This section explains how to change the printer’s operation for  
specific print jobs when required.  
The PostScript printer drivers supplied with this machine provide  
several controls for changing the colour output of your printer.  
Generally, using the default settings will suffice, producing 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.

COLOUR MATCHING  
FACTORS 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.  
1.  
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. In addition to this, 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 and these cannot be easily produced on  
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are  
certain colours, (some yellows for example), that can be  
printed, but 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.  
2.  
Viewing conditions  
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For  
example, the colours in a print may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC > 63

3.  
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 Printer Driver’s 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)  
4. 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.  
5.  
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.

CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD  
There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the  
document displayed on your monitor, and it's 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 makes  
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.  
MATCHING 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 by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles  
as the Print Space (or Output space).

Oki Colour Matching, and the sRGB setting.  
PostScript Colour Matching using the Relative Colorimetric  
option.

Use the Colour Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB  
swatches and enter your desired RGB values in your  
application's colour picker.  
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

profiles as the Print Space (or Output space).  
>
Alternatively, use PostScript Colour Matching with the Relative  
Colorimetric setting.  
PRINTING VIVID COLOURS

Use Oki Colour Matching, with either the Monitor 6500k Vivid,  
sRGB or Digital Camera settings.

Monitor (6500k) Auto  
The default setting that selects the best options for your  
printer. This selection works best for office graphics.  
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with  
a colour temperature of 6500K. This is best for printing  
photographic images.  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimised for printing bright colours when using a monitor  
with a colour temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics  
and text. Vivid or Digital Camera settings produce the brightest  
colours.  
Monitor (9300k)  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with  
a colour temperature of 9300K.  
sRGB  
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company  
logo colour. This option attempts to simulate RGB colour. The  
colours within the printer's colour gamut are printed without  
any modification, and only colours that fall outside the  
printable colours are modified.  
4.  
Rendering Intent  
YOUR PRINTER  
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC > 71  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Rendering Intents are only used when “Postscript Colour  
Matching” is selected.  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the  
document's colour space to the printer colour space. The  
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine  
how this colour conversion takes place.  
Select the option desired.  
Absolute Colorimetric  
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 on screen. 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.  
Auto  
The best default selection, as this selects the optimal settings  
for a general office environment.  
Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source  
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall  
appearance of an image. This may change the overall  
appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.  
Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer.  
Best for solid colours and tints.  
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.  
Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours if you  
don't necessarily care how accurate the colours are. This  
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams  
etc. Maps fully saturated colours in the source gamut to fully  
saturated colours in the printer’s gamut.

NOTE  
Higher print resolutions require more memory, and the job may take  
longer to be sent to the printer.  
COLLATING  
Collating can be carried out with or without a hard disk drive fitted.  
However, fitting a HDD will achieve greater performance.  
If the software application being used has a collate print option, it is  
recommended to use only one collate option to prevent any conflicts  
in printing, i.e. collate from the software application or collate from  
the printer driver.  
The following instructions explain how to select collating using a  
printer driver.  
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC > 93  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
To setup collate:  
1. From the File menu, choose Print.  
The General dialogue box should be displayed. If not, select General  
from the menu.  
YOUR PRINTER  
2. Type the number of Copies you wish to print.  
3. From the pop-up menu, select Job Options.  
4. Select the Collate option.  
5. Click Print.  
NOTE  
There may also be a collate option provided in the printer driver's  
General options. This should be disabled. Similarly if your application  
has a collate option in it's print settings, this should also be disabled.  
Why are there several Collate options?  
Setting Collate within the Job Options enables printer collate. This  
causes the printer to do the actual collating, rather than the driver.  
When the printer collates print jobs, this increases the print speed  
mainly because the job is only processed once.  
Selecting Collate in the General options enables driver collate. When  
the driver collates, the print job may be sent to the printer multiple  
times, thereby decreasing print speed.

BACKGROUND PRINTING  
Background printing allows you to print documents and continue to  
use your Mac at the same time. It does this by saving a temporary print  
file to your hard disk, and then sending it to the printer.  
This has the advantage of freeing up your computer much more  
quickly, enabling you to do other things whilst your document is  
printing. The disadvantage of Background printing is that it is slower,  
and your computer’s performance may temporarily be affected whilst  
the print job is processed.  
You can enable and disable Background printing on an individual  
print job basis by using the printer driver:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
From the File menu, select Print.  
From the pop-up menu, select Background Printing.  
From Print In, select the Background option.  
If you want to enable background printing as default, click  
Save Settings.

UTILITIES  
Two utilities are provided on your printer driver's CD-ROM; the Colour  
Swatch Utility and the Oki PostScript Utility. The installer programs  
for these utilities are found in the “Utilities” folder on your CD-ROM.  
COLOUR SWATCH UTILITY  
The Colour Swatch Utility prints 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  
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC > 95  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
specific colours in applications that allow you to choose your own  
RGB values.  
An example of using the Colour Swatch Utility  
Suppose you wished to print a logo in a particular shade of red. Here  
are the steps you would follow to accomplish a good colour match  
using the Colour Swatch utility.  
1.  
Print a colour swatch, taking care to note the printer driver  
colour settings that you use.  
2.  
3.  
Select a shade of red that best suits your needs.  
Take a note of the RGB value below the particular shade of red  
that you prefer.  
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC > 96  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4.  
Using your application program’s colour picker, enter these  
same RGB values (from Step 3) and change the logo to that  
colour.  
NOTE  
The RGB colour on your monitor may not necessarily match what was  
printed on the colour swatch. In this case, don’t worry; you are using the  
printed colour swatch to pick a colour instead of judging the colour by  
the way it appears on screen.  
5.  
Print your document using the same driver settings as you  
originally used (see Step 1).  
OKI POSTSCRIPT UTILITY  
The Oki PostScript Utility works with printers connected via USB or  
AppleTalk. It does not work with printers connected via TCP/IP.  
The utility has the following features:  
>
>
Adjusts Gamma curves for the printer.  
Allows several printer options to be changed, including trays  
and paper types.  
>
>
>
>
Downloads PostScript and PDF files directly to the printer.  
Displays font lists.  
Initialises (formats) the printer hard disk.  
Allows the printer AppleTalk name and Zone to be changed.  
About Gamma Curves Created with the PostScript Utility  
The Gamma curves function effectively allows fine control over the  
printer’s brightness and colour output. All printer colours can be  
adjusted together (CMYK), or each colour can be adjusted separately.  
Adjusting printer gamma is similar to performing a CMYK Curves  
®
adjustment in an image-editing program such as Adobe  
Photoshop .  
®
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC > 97  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Once a custom gamma adjustment has been made, the settings can  
be saved to the printer’s PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, and  
can be selected from the Printer Driver Colour options.  
Creating a Gamma Adjustment, Step-by-step  
Ensure that your Oki printer is selected as default on your Desktop.  
1.  
You can do this by selecting the printer icon, and from the  
Printing menu select Set Default Printer.

The printer’s gamma can be adjusted globally (all CMYK values  
together), or each separate primary printer colour can be  
adjusted individually. The gamma curves plot the input values  
(%) on the X axis against the output values (%) on the Y axis.  
The curves can be adjusted by either clicking and dragging the  
curves with the mouse, or by manually entering values into the  
text fields. To remove points on the curve, either double click  
on the points, or delete the corresponding values in the  
appropriate text fields.

Tips on Adjusting Colour  
To adjust the entire image using a particular colour as a  
reference, manually enter the desired values in the text fields.  
For example, if you print a red colour composed of the following  
values:  
10% cyan, 90% magenta, 80% yellow and 5% black.  
You decide that it needs 5% more magenta and 3% less yellow.  
This means you would need to enter the following new values  
manually:  
For magenta, 90% + 5% extra = 95%  
For yellow, 80% - 3% less = 77%  
Enter these new values in the text fields, replacing the current  
values;  
change 90% ->95% for magenta, and change 80%->77% for  
yellow.  
This can be used to help compensate for dot gain if proofing for  
later output to press.  
If you are adjusting based on RGB values:  
To make the entire image redder, increase cyan.  
To make the entire image bluer, increase yellow.  
To make the entire image greener, increase magenta.  
Similarly, you can eliminate tints on your printouts:  
To reduce a red tint, decrease cyan.  
To reduce a blue tint, decrease yellow.  
To reduce a green tint, decrease magenta.

OPERATION  
This section explains how to change the printer’s operation for  
specific print jobs when required.  
The PostScript printer drivers supplied with this machine provide  
several controls for changing the colour output of your printer.  
Generally, using the default settings will suffice, producing 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.

COLOUR MATCHING  
FACTORS 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.  
1.  
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. In addition to this, 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 and these cannot be easily produced on  
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are  
certain colours, (some yellows for example), that can be  
printed, but 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.  
2.  
Viewing conditions  
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For  
example, the colours in a print may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
MAC OS X > 109

3.  
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 Printer Driver’s 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)  
4. 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 on-line help or user  
manual for more information.  
5.  
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.

CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD  
There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the  
document displayed on your monitor, and it’s 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 makes  
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.  
MATCHING 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 by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles  
as the Print Space (or Output space).

Monitor (6500k) Auto  
The default setting that selects the best options for your  
printer. This selection works best for office graphics.  
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with  
a colour temperature of 6500K. This is best for printing  
photographic images.  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimised for printing bright colours when using a monitor  
with a colour temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics  
and text. Vivid or Digital Camera settings produce the brightest  
colours.  
Monitor (9300k)  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with  
a colour temperature of 9300K.  
sRGB  
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company  
logo colour. This option attempts to simulate RGB colour. The  
colours within the printer’s colour gamut are printed without  
any modification, and only colours that fall outside the  
printable colours are modified.

4.  
Rendering Intent  
YOUR PRINTER  
Rendering Intents are only used when “Postscript Colour  
Matching” is selected.  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the  
document’s colour space to the printer’s colour space. The  
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine  
how this colour conversion takes place.  
Select the option desired.  
Absolute Colorimetric  
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 on screen. 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.  
Auto  
The best default optionas this selects the optimal settings for a  
general office environment.  
Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source  
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall  
appearance of an image. This may change the overall  
appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.  
MAC OS X > 118  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer.  
Best for solid colours and tints.  
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.  
Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours if you  
don’t necessarily care how accurate the colours are. This  
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams  
etc. Maps fully saturated colours in the source gamut to fully  
saturated colours in the printer’s gamut.

COLOUR PRINTING  
The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several controls  
for changing the colour output. For general use the automatic 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.  
FACTORS 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. In addition to this, 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, Magenta, Yellow and Black  
(CMYK) toner or ink.  
A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense reds  
and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer  
using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colours, (some  
yellows for example), that can be printed, but 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 on screen.

Viewing conditions  
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For  
example, the colours in a print may look different when 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 on screen.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change how  
your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s colour  
temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours look.  
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  
9300k  
Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.  
Cool; the default setting for many monitors and  
television sets.

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 on-line help or user  
manual for more information.

specially formulated glossy paper.  
CHOOSING 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.  
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.  
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

RGB OR CMYK?  
The guidelines for choosing a colour matching method makes  
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.  
MATCHING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES

USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE  
The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range of  
sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours that the  
printer can produce. Listed on 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. Simply click the Color Swatch button (1) and choose from  
the options available.

An example of using the Colour Swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you  
would follow are:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that best  
suits your needs.  
Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that you  
liked.  
Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB  
values, and change the logo to that colour.  
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. Here, it is unimportant since your primary objective  
is to print the required colour.

POSTSCRIPT DRIVER  
COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS  
The PostScript driver offers several different methods of controlling  
the colour output of the printer.  
Some of the colour matching options only work on certain types of  
data. The table below summarises the various options available, and  
what types of data they affect.

Oki Colour Matching  
This is Oki’s proprietary colour matching system, and affects RGB  
data only.

Perceptual settings are best for printing photographic images.  
Vivid or Digital Camera settings produce brightest colours.  
sRGB is the best choice for matching specific colours (such as  
printing logos).  
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a  
colour temperature of 6500K.  
Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimised for printing bright colours when using a monitor with a  
colour temperature of 6500K. Good for office graphics and text.  
COLOUR PRINTING > 133

Monitor (9300k)  
Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a  
colour temperature of 9300K.  
Digital Camera  
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This  
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colours. For some  
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects  
and the conditions under which they were taken.  
sRGB  
Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company logo  
colour.  
The colours within the printer’s colour gamut are printed without any  
modification, and only colours that fall outside the gamut (set of)  
printable colours are modified.  
POSTSCRIPT COLOUR MATCHING  
This uses PostScript Colour Rendering Dictionaries built into the  
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.  
Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the  
document’s colour space to the printer colour space. The rendering  
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this colour  
conversion takes place.  
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed below:  
>
Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source  
gamut into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall  
appearance of an image. This may change the overall  
appearance of an image as all the colours are shifted together.  
COLOUR PRINTING > 134

>
>
Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours, but less  
accurately matched. This makes it the recommended choice for  
graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colours in  
the source gamut to fully saturated colours in the printer’s  
gamut.  
Absolute Colorimetric  
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 on screen. 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.  
>
Relative Colorimetric  
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. Unlike Absolute  
Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into  
account.  
CMYK INK SIMULATION  
Affects CMYK data only.  
This option simulates what the output will look like on a printing press  
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Toyo. If using CMYK Ink  
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer  
Colour Matching. Select the No Colour Matching option under the  
Colour Match option in the printer driver.  
WINDOWS ICM COLOUR MATCHING  
Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP only. Affects RGB data only.  
ICM is the colour management system built into Windows.  
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these  
profiles describe the colours that your device is capable of  
COLOUR PRINTING > 135  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the  
Colour Management tab of the printer driver.  
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the colour  
profiles may already be associated with the driver.  
To associate ICC Colour Profiles with the printer driver:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Access the printer settings via the Start menu.  
Right-click the printer name and choose Properties.  
Click the Colour Management tab.  
Under “Colour Profiles currently associated with this printer”,  
you should see the names of profiles that match your printer  
model. If you do not see any profiles associated with the  
driver, click “Add…” and locate the ICC profiles for your printer.  
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.  
USING ICC PROFILES  
Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Affects RGB data only.  
This 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 method of printing 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. your printer) to be  
selected. It uses both these profiles to generate a CRD (Colour  
COLOUR PRINTING > 136

Rendering Dictionary), and this is used to match the colours as closely  
as possible.  
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.

OVERLAYS AND MACROS  
WHAT ARE OVERLAYS AND MACROS?  
If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and  
letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you can  
create your own using these advanced features.  
You can use PostScript overlays to generate all your special stationery  
and store it in the printer for use whenever you need it. If you have  
chosen to install the PCL driver, macros perform a similar function.  
NOTE  
PostScript overlays are not available for Windows 95/98/Me.  
You can create several overlays or macros, and combine them in any  
way you like to produce a variety of forms and other special  
stationery. Each image can be printed on just the first page of a  
document, on all pages, on alternate pages, or just the pages that you  
specify.

CREATING POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS  
Three steps are required to create an overlay:  
1.  
2.  
Create the form data using your own application software and  
print it to a printer (.PRN) file.  
Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on  
CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import the .PRN  
file(s), and download the generated filter (.HST) file to the  
printer. The project file will contain one or more overlay images  
which are functionally related, such as the cover page and the  
continuation page images for business letters.  
3.  
Use downloaded files to define your overlays ready for use  
when printing your documents.  
When printing overlay files to disk, do not select any special features,  
such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are not  
appropriate to overlays, they apply only to your final documents.  
CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE  
1.  
Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program,  
to create the required overlay image and save it.  
2.  
Open your  
application’s Print…  
1
dialogue.  
2
3.  
Make sure that the  
selected printer  
name (1) is that of  
your PostScript  
printer driver.  
4.  
5.  
Select the Print To  
File (2) option.  
Click the Properties button (3) to open the Document  
Properties window.

(SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Choose Printers→New Project.  
Choose Printers→Add File to Project.  
Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn).  
Navigate to the folder where the .PRN files are stored and  
select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.  
You can have more than one printer (.PRN) file in a project. For  
example, one for top pages and another for continuation  
pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl keys) to  
select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.  
6.  
7.  
Click Open to add these files to the current project.  
When a message box appears confirming that a filter file has  
been created, click OK to clear the message.  
8.  
The project window will display one .HST file for each printer  
file added. Make a careful note of each of these names. Ensure  
that you note them exactly as they appear, they are case  
sensitive, and you will need them later.

shape, turn off (deselect) the “Configure Image Data,” “Palette  
ID” and “Palette Control” filters.  
4.  
5.  
Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn).  
Navigate to the folder where the overlay .PRN files are stored  
and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.  
You can have more than one macro file in a project. For  
example, one for top pages and another for continuation  
pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl keys) to  
select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.  
6.

REPLACING CONSUMABLE ITEMS  
This section explains how to replace consumable items when due. As  
a guide, the life expectancy of these items is:  
>
Toner — 5,000 A4 pages at 5% coverage, which means that 5%  
of the addressable print area is printed with this colour. Toner  
life is directly affected by coverage, e.g. at 10% coverage  
there is sufficient toner for 2,500 pages, conversely at 2.5%  
there is sufficient toner for 10,000 pages in the cartridge.  
The printer is shipped with sufficient toner for 3,000 A4 pages  
in the print cartridges of which 1,500 A4 pages of toner are  
used to charge the image drum.  
>
Image drum — 17,000 pages (calculated on typical office  
usage where 20% of printing is 1 page only, 30% is 3 page  
documents and 50% is print runs of 15 pages or more).  
>
>
Transfer belt — Approximately 50,000 A4 pages.  
Fuser — Approximately 45,000 A4 pages.

TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT  
The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder. It is contained  
in four cartridges: one each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black.  
Have a sheet of paper handy so that you have somewhere to place the  
used cartridge while you install the new one.  
Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly, inside the pack that the new  
one came in. Follow any regulations, recommendations, etc., which  
may be in force concerning waste recycling.  
If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not  
enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use hot  
water, and never use solvents of any kind. They will make stains  
permanent.  
WARNING!  
If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a little water or  
bathe your eyes liberally in cold water. Seek medical attention  
immediately.  
Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about 10 minutes  
before opening the cover.

Put the cartridge down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent  
toner from marking your furniture and to avoid damaging the  
green drum surface.  
CAUTION!  
The green image drum surface at the base of the cartridge is very  
delicate and light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose it to  
normal room light for more than 5 minutes. If the drum unit needs to  
be out of the printer for longer than this, please wrap the cartridge  
inside a black plastic bag to keep it away from light. Never expose the  
drum to direct sunlight or very bright room lighting.

7.  
Remove the new cartridge from its box but leave its wrapping  
material in place for the moment.  
Gently shake the new cartridge from end to end several times  
to loosen and distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS  
Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on use of  
print media, and you keep the media in good condition prior to use,  
your printer should give years of reliable service. However, paper  
jams occasionally do occur, and this section explains how to clear  
them quickly and simply.  
Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any  
point on the paper path through the printer. When a jam occurs, the  
printer immediately stops, and the LCD window on the operator panel  
informs you of the event. If printing multiple pages (or copies), do not  
assume that having cleared an obvious sheet that others will not also  
be stopped somewhere along the path. These must also be removed  
in order to clear the jam fully and restore normal operation.  
1.  
If a sheet is well advanced out of the top of the printer, simply  
grip it and pull gently to draw it fully out. If it does not remove  
easily, do not use excessive force. It can be removed from the  
rear later.  
2.  
Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully.  
WARNING!  
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser will be hot. This area is  
clearly labeled. Do not touch.
