• 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.  
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:  
• 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.  
• Read the setup instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to  
save it for future reference.  
• Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the printer; you  
could get a shock or cause a fire.  
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer  
itself.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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:  
• Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.  
• The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.  
• 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.  
• Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been exposed to  
water.  
• The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is  
damaged.  
• 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.  
• 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.

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 it in quantity.

Replacing The Toner Cartridge  
Replace the toner cartridge after TONER LOW displays on the printer’s

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.

2. Open the printer cover.  
How long your toner cartridge lasts depends on the print density,  
the percentage of the page that prints black.  
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.  
•
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. It’s normal  
that the first cartridge will produce about 1,000 pages.

Printer Maintenance 3  
Replacing the Image Drum Cartridge  
Image Drum Cartridge Life  
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.  
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.  
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.

Cleaning the LED Array  
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.  
3. Lift out the used image drum cartridge with toner installed.  
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).

SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR  
LOSS ARISING FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT. Some states do  
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.  
OKIDATA will repair (or at its option, replace) at no charge, any  
defective component(s) of the Printer for one (1) year from the date of  
purchase except for the printhead (LED imaging array), which is

Warranty does not extend to consumable items.  
Additional information on obtaining service under this Limited Warranty

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 represen-  
tative 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, replace-  
ment will be at an authorized service center or authorized third party service  
organization. Call 1-800-OKIDATA for authorized service locations.
