MEDIA RECOMMENDATIONS  
We recommend the following guidelines when selecting paper and  
envelopes for use in this printer:  
CAUTION  
Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2  
second.  
Paper  
For recommended papers see your Handy Reference  
Guide.  
Paper should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct  
sunlight and heat sources.  
Don’t use damp, damaged or curled paper.  
The use of heavily laid or textured paper will seriously  
affect the life of the image drum and give poor print  
quality. Print quality can be improved by changing the  
media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’ However, this will reduce  
the output speed and prevent the use of the duplex  
option.  
Don’t use very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.  
Don’t use heavily embossed headed paper, very rough  
paper or paper that has a large grain difference between  
the two sides.  
Don’t use paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged  
edges.  
Don’t use carbon paper, NCR paper, photosensitive paper,  
pressure sensitive paper or thermal transfer paper.  
ES 3037/3037e Setting up • 48  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Envelopes  
Use only recommended envelopes (OKI 52206301 and  
52206302): see page 472.  
Envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture,  
direct sunlight and heat sources.  
Don’t use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.  
Don’t use envelopes with self sealing flaps.  
Don’t use damp, damaged or curled paper envelopes.  
Labels  
For recommended labels see your Handy Reference Guide.  
Use only labels designed for use in color laser printers and  
photocopiers.  
Labels should cover entire carrier sheet.  
Carrier sheet or adhesive must not be exposed to any part  
of the printer.

SETTING COLOR TUNING FROM THE FRONT PANEL  
Important!  
• In most cases, using Color Tuning is not necessary as the  
printer is optimized for color printing at its default settings.  
• Once you change these settings, they remain in effect until  
you go back in and change them.  
To return the settings to the defaults, use the steps below to  
set each value back to 0 (zero).  
You can use the printer’s menu to adjust the color intensity for a  
specific color by adjusting the HIGHLIGHT, MID-TONE and DARK  
(shadows) Color Tuning Patterns.  
To increase the color intensity, use a higher positive setting  
(default = 0, maximum = +3).  
To decrease the color intensity, use a higher negative  
setting (default = 0, maximum = -3).

INTERFACES  
connect2.bmp  
Your printer is equipped with a selection of data interfaces:  
1. Parallel – For direct connection to a PC. This port requires a  
bi-directional (IEEE 1284 compliant) parallel cable.  
2. USB – For connection to a PC running Windows 98 or above  
(not Windows 95 upgraded to Windows 98) or Macintosh. This  
port requires a cable conforming to USB version 1.1 or above.  
The operation of a printer is not assured 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..  
NOTE  
Administrator’s authority is required when installing a  
network connection.

WHICH PRINTER DRIVER TO USE?  
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and Adobe®  
PostScript® (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish.  
Which driver you choose depends on your application.  
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript  
(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will  
be more efficient and give good results.  
If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript  
graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation  
performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their best  
quality  
NOTE  
The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript. So if you  
plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript  
driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low  
resolution.  
If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should install both  
drivers: select the same printer port (LPT1 or Network Port) for both  
drivers during the installation.  
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows  
default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different  
printer from within the print dialog, so you can print using the  
alternative driver whenever you need to.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT COLOR PRINTING  
The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer  
provide several controls for changing the color output. For general  
use the default driver settings produce good results for most  
documents.  
Many applications have their own color 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 color management functions.  
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer  
driver, please be aware that color 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 colors  
a monitor or printer can reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing  
the full range of colors visible to the human eye. Each  
device is restricted to a certain range of colors. In addition  
to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the colors  
displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.  
Both devices use very different technologies to represent  
color. 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 colors such as intense  
reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on  
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain  
colors, (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 colors do not match the colors displayed on  
screen.

Viewing conditions  
A document can look very different under various lighting conditions.  
For example, the colors may look different when viewed standing  
next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under standard  
office fluorescent lighting.  
Printer driver color settings  
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a  
document. There are several options available to help match the  
printed colors with those displayed on screen. These options are  
explained in subsequent sections of this User Manual.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor color  
temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to  
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors  
allow the color 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

How your software application displays color  
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe®  
Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications  
such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s online help  
or user manual for more information.  
Paper type  
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.  
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one  
on specially formulated glossy paper.

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD  
There is no one 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 color.  
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color  
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 color matching  
settings in the printer driver without warning.  
RGB or CMYK?  
The guidelines for choosing a color 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 color  
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 Color Matching (see page 121) 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 (see “Windows ICM color  
matching” on page 129), and then print using the ICC profiles as the  
Print Space (or Output space).  
Matching Specific Colors (e.g., a Company logo)  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching (see page 121), and the sRGB setting:  
PCL or PS driver.  
PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric  
option (see page 123).  
Use the Color Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB  
swatches and enter your desired RGB values in your  
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 ICC-Profiles provided by Oki (see “Windows  
ICM color matching” on page 129), and then print using the  
ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space) (PS  
only).  
Alternatively, use PostScript Color Matching with the  
Absolute Colorimetric setting (see page 123).

The Print Color Swatch Utility  
For use with applications which allow you to set your own RGB  
values for colors.  
The Color Swatch utility prints out charts of sample colors. Listed  
below each color are the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue)  
values to use in your application to match that printed color.  
An example of using the Print Color Swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you  
would follow are:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers and Faxes.  
2. Right click the printer name and click Printing Preferences.  
3. Click the Color tab.  
4. Click the Color Swatch button to print the color swatch  
samples.  
5. Select the shade of red that best suits your needs and make a  
note of the RGB value below that particular shade.  
6. Using your program’s color picker, enter these same RGB  
values (from step 5), and change the logo to that color.  
NOTE  
The RGB color displayed on your monitor may not  
necessarily match what was printed on the color swatch. If  
this is the case, it is probably due to the difference between  
how your monitor and printer reproduce color.

C93_XP_PS_Color3K.tif  
Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place  
from the document’s color space to the printer color  
space. The rendering intents are essentially a set of  
rules that determine how this color conversion takes  
place.  
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are  
listed below:  
ES 3037/3037e Windows XP Operation • 123  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
– Auto  
Best choice for printing general documents.  
– Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses  
the source gamut into the printer’s gamut while  
maintaining the overall appearance of an image.  
– Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors  
if you don’t necessarily care how accurate the  
colors are. This makes it the recommended choice  
for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully  
saturated colors in the source gamut to fully  
saturated colors in the printer’s gamut.  
– Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a  
desktop printer. 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.  
– Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as  
Company logos etc. Matches colors common to  
both devices exactly, and clips the out of gamut  
colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to  
monitor is often very different from paper white, so  
this may result in color casts, especially in the  
lighter areas of an image.  
c. Color Control = Using ICC Profile  
This option provides a method of matching RGB colors  
similar to Windows ICM matching. See “OKI “Using ICC  
Profiles” feature: PostScript driver only” on page 126.

OKI “USING ICC PROFILES” FEATURE:  
POSTSCRIPT DRIVER ONLY  
Affects RGB data only.  
This provides a method of matching RGB colors similar to Windows  
ICM matching. The main advantage it has over Windows ICM color  
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 (e.g., a digital camera) provide information about the  
color 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 (e.g., the ES 3037e printer) provide information  
about the device to which you are printing.  
The Using ICC Profiles feature uses both the input and output  
profiles to generate a CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary), which is  
used to match the colors as closely as possible.  
NOTE  
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) color space, and a print (output)  
color space

WINDOWS ICM COLOR MATCHING  
ICM is the color management system built into Windows.  
Affects RGB data only.  
Can be associated with either the PCL or PS driver  
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these  
profiles describe the colors that your device is capable of  
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the  
Color Management tab of the printer driver.  
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the color  
profiles may already be associated with the driver.  
To associate ICC Color Profiles with the printer driver:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers and Faxes.  
2. Highlight the printer name and click File, then Properties.  
3. Click the Color Management tab.  
4. Under “Color 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 colors  
in your documents to colors 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  
NOTE  
Oki also provides an alternative to Windows ICM with the  
Color Match “Using ICC Profiles” feature. This is similar to  
Windows ICM, but offers several additional features.

PRINTING OVERLAYS  
What are Overlays?  
An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is  
stored in the printer’s flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied on  
some models, optional on others), and printed whenever required.  
The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to  
be much more elaborate.  
Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms,  
or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.  
An example of using Overlays:  
Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer  
using the Storage Device Manager:  
the company logo  
the company address  
the company mission statement.  
The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your  
document in various combinations, depending on your  
requirements.  
ES 3037/3037e Windows XP Operation • 156  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
To create overlays:  
1. Create the document that you wish to use for Overlay printing  
(e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file (print file) using the  
printer driver.  
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file  
(print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the printer.  
Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the  
printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the  
printer driver to use the overlays.  
NOTE  
• The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer to  
allow for spooling of the print job before final printing.  
• If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled  
data, DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed.  
• If the software application being used has a collate print  
option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to operate  
correctly.  
• An overlay may consist of more than one component file.

Printer Drivers  
See your printed Software Installation Guide for information on  
installing printer drivers.  
WHICH PRINTER DRIVER TO USE?  
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and Adobe®  
PostScript® (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish.  
Which driver you choose depends on your application.  
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript  
(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will  
be more efficient and give good results.  
If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript  
graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation  
performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their best  
quality.  
NOTE  
The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript. So if you  
plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript  
driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low  
resolution.  
If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should install both  
drivers: select the same printer port (LPT1 or Network Port) for both  
drivers during the installation.  
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows  
default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different  
printer from within the print dialog, so you can print using the  
alternative driver whenever you need to.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT COLOR PRINTING  
The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer  
provide several controls for changing the color output. For general  
use the default driver settings produce good results for most  
documents.  
Many applications have their own color 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 color management functions.  
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,  
please be aware that color 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 colors  
a monitor or printer can reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the  
full range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is  
restricted to a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a  
printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on a  
monitor, and vice versa.  
Both devices use very different technologies to represent  
color. 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 colors such as intense reds  
and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any  
printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors,  
(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 colors do not match the colors displayed on screen.

Viewing conditions  
A document can look very different under various lighting  
conditions. For example, the colors may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
Printer driver color settings  
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of  
a document. There are several options available to help match the  
printed colors with those displayed on screen. These options are  
explained in subsequent sections of this User Manual.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor  
color temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to  
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors  
allow the color 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

How your software application displays color  
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe®  
Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications  
such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s online help  
or user manual for more information.  
Paper type  
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.  
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one  
on specially formulated glossy paper.

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD  
There is no one 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 color.  
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color  
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 color matching  
settings in the printer driver without warning.  
RGB or CMYK?  
The guidelines for choosing a color 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 color  
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 Color Matching (see page 202) 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 (see “Windows ICM color matching”  
on page 210), and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space  
(or Output space).  
Matching Specific Colors (e.g., a Company logo)  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching (see page 202), and the sRGB setting:  
PCL or PS driver.  
PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric  
option (see page 204).

swatches and enter your desired RGB values in your  
RGB or CMYK  
If you are printing from a graphics application such as  
Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to

The Print Color Swatch Utility  
For use with applications which allow you to set your own RGB  
values for colors.  
The Color Swatch utility prints out charts of sample colors. Listed  
below each color are the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue)  
values to use in your application to match that printed color.  
An example of using the Print Color Swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you  
would follow are:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers.  
2. Right click the printer name and click Printing Preferences.  
3. Click the Color tab.  
4. Click the Color Swatch button to print the color swatch

note of the RGB value below that particular shade.  
6. Using your program’s color picker, enter these same RGB  
values (from step 5), and change the logo to that color.  
NOTE  
The RGB color displayed on your monitor may not  
necessarily match what was printed on the color swatch. If  
this is the case, it is probably due to the difference between  
how your monitor and printer reproduce color.

• Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from  
the document’s color space to the printer color space. The  
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine  
how this color conversion takes place.  
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed  
below:  
– Auto  
Best choice for printing general documents.  
– Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the  
source gamut into the printer's gamut while maintaining  
the overall appearance of an image.  
– Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you  
don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This  
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts,  
diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source  
gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer's gamut.  
– Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop  
printer. 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.  
– Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company  
logos etc. Matches colors common to both devices  
exactly, and clips the out of gamut colors 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 color casts, especially  
in the lighter areas of an image.

OKI “USING ICC PROFILES” FEATURE:  
POSTSCRIPT DRIVER ONLY  
Affects RGB data only.  
This provides a method of matching RGB colors similar to Windows  
ICM matching. The main advantage it has over Windows ICM color  
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 (e.g., a digital camera) provide information about the  
color 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 (e.g., the ES 3037 printer) provide information about  
the device to which you are printing.  
The Using ICC Profiles feature uses both the input and output  
profiles to generate a CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary), which is  
used to match the colors as closely as possible.  
NOTE  
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) color space, and a print (output)  
color space

WINDOWS ICM COLOR MATCHING  
ICM is the color management system built into Windows.  
Affects RGB data only.  
Can be associated with either the PCL or PS driver.  
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these  
profiles describe the colors that your device is capable of  
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the  
Color Management tab of the printer driver.  
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the color  
profiles may already be associated with the driver.  
To associate ICC Color Profiles with the printer driver:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers.  
2. Highlight the printer name and click File, then Properties.  
3. Click the Color Management tab.  
4. Under “Color 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  
colors in your documents to colors 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  
NOTE  
Oki also provides an alternative to Windows ICM with the  
Color Match “Using ICC Profiles” feature. This is similar to  
Windows ICM, but offers several additional features.

PRINTING OVERLAYS  
What are Overlays?  
An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is  
stored in the printer’s flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied on  
some models, optional on others), and printed whenever required.  
The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to  
be much more elaborate.  
Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms,  
or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.  
An example of using Overlays  
Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer  
using the Storage Device Manager:  
the company logo  
the company address  
the company mission statement.  
The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your  
document in various combinations, depending on your  
requirements.  
ES 3037/3037e Windows 2000 Operation • 238  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
To create overlays:  
1. Create the document that you wish to use for Overlay printing  
(e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file (print file) using the  
printer driver.  
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file  
(print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the printer.  
Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the  
printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the  
printer driver to use the overlays.  
NOTE  
• The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer to  
allow for spooling of the print job before final printing.  
• If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled  
data, DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed.  
• If the software application being used has a collate print  
option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to operate  
correctly.  
• An overlay may consist of more than one component file.

Important  
Please ensure that you are using the Oki PCL driver to do this.  
4. Choose all of the printer driver settings with which you would  
like your overlay to print.

duplex, finisher options, etc. when creating an overlay. These  
can be added when printing the document that includes the  
overlay.  
6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.  
7. Click Print.  
Instead of sending the print job to the printer, this prompts you to  
save the print job on your PC’s hard disk. Give the file a meaningful  
name such as "my template.prn".

Downloading the print file to use as an overlay  
In the previous topic, you created a print (PRN) file on your PC’s  
hard disk. This topic explains how download this file to the printer  
using the Storage Device Manager.  
The Storage Device Manager software is included with the original  
software CDs that were supplied with your printer.  
1. Launch Storage Device Manager and allow the program to  
discover (locate) the printer.  
2. Click Project then New Project.  
3. Select Add File to Project from the Project menu, and select  
the PRN file(s) that you created earlier.  
PCL: This automatically generates a BIN file.  
Important!  
At this step, you will see in the project window that the BIN file is  
assigned an ID number. You can change this ID number by  
double-clicking it, and entering a new one in the ID field.  
PostScript: This automatically generates a PostScript hst file. Note  
the name that the file is assigned in the Storage Device Manager.  
Names are case sensitive.  
NOTE  
For PCL and PS: this is important because you need to use  
this ID number or name when creating overlays in the printer  
driver. Therefore, it is recommended you change the ID  
number or name from the default value and note it for later  
use.  
4. Make sure the printer being used is highlighted in the lower  
window of the Storage Device Manager.

Printer Drivers  
See your printed Software Installation Guide for information on  
installing printer drivers.  
WHICH PRINTER DRIVER TO USE?  
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and Adobe®  
PostScript® (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish.  
Which driver you choose depends on your application.  
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript  
(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will  
be more efficient and give good results.  
If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript  
graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation  
performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their  
best quality.  
NOTE  
The line art graphics in th is manual are PostScript. So if you  
plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript  
driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low  
resolution.  
If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should install  
both drivers: select the same printer port (LPT1 or Network Port) for  
both drivers during the installation.  
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows  
default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different  
printer from within the print dialog, so you can print using the  
alternative driver whenever you need to.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT COLOR PRINTING  
The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer  
provide several controls for changing the color output. For general  
use the default driver settings produce good results for most  
documents.  
Many applications have their own color 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 color management functions.  
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,  
please be aware that color 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 colors  
a monitor or printer can reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the  
full range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is  
restricted to a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a  
printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on a  
monitor, and vice versa.  
Both devices use very different technologies to represent  
color. 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 colors such as intense reds  
and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any  
printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors,  
(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 colors do not match the colors displayed on screen.

Viewing conditions  
A document can look very different under various lighting  
conditions. For example, the colors may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
Printer driver color settings  
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of  
a document. There are several options available to help match the  
printed colors with those displayed on screen. These options are  
explained in subsequent sections of this User Manual.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor  
color temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to  
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors  
allow the color 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

How your software application displays color  
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe®  
Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications  
such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s online help  
or user manual for more information.  
Paper type  
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.  
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one  
on specially formulated glossy paper.

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD  
There is no one 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 color.  
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color  
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 color matching  
settings in the printer driver without warning.  
RGB or CMYK?  
The guidelines for choosing a color 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 color  
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 Color Matching (see page 276) 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 (see “Windows ICM color matching”  
on page 281), and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space  
(or Output space).  
Matching Specific Colors (e.g., a Company logo)  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching (see page 276), and the sRGB setting:  
PCL or PS driver.  
PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric  
option (see page 278).

swatches and enter your desired RGB values in your  
RGB or CMYK  
If you are printing from a graphics application such as  
Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to

The Print Color Swatch Utility  
For use with applications which allow you to set your own RGB  
values for colors.  
The Color Swatch utility prints out charts of sample colors. Listed  
below each color are the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue)  
values to use in your application to match that printed color.  
An example of using the Print Color Swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you  
would follow are:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers.  
2. Highlight the printer name and click File, then Properties.  
3. Click the Color tab.  
4. Click Color Swatch to print the color swatch samples.  
5. Select the shade of red that best suits your needs and make a  
note of the RGB value below that particular shade.  
6. Using your program’s color picker, enter these same RGB  
values (from step 5), and change the logo to that color.  
NOTE  
The RGB color displayed on your monitor may not  
necessarily match what was printed on the color swatch. If  
this is the case, it is probably due to the difference between  
how your monitor and printer reproduce color.

• Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from  
the document’s color space to the printer color space. The  
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine  
how this color conversion takes place.  
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed  
below:  
– Auto  
Best choice for printing general documents.  
– Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the  
source gamut into the printer's gamut while maintaining  
the overall appearance of an image. This may change  
the overall appearance of an image as all the colors are  
shifted together.  
– Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you  
don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This  
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts,  
diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source  
gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer's gamut.  
– Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop  
printer. 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.  
– Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company  
logos etc. Matches colors common to both devices  
exactly, and clips the out of gamut colors 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 color casts, especially

WINDOWS ICM COLOR MATCHING  
ICM is the color management system built into Windows.  
Affects RGB data only.  
Can be associated with either the PCL or PS driver.  
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these  
profiles describe the colors that your device is capable of  
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the  
Color Management tab of the printer driver.  
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the color  
profiles may already be associated with the driver.  
To associate ICC Color Profiles with the printer driver:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers.  
2. Highlight the printer name and click File, then Properties.  
3. Click the Color Management tab.  
4. Under “Color 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 colors  
in your documents to colors 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  
NOTE  
Oki also provides an alternative to Windows ICM with the  
Color Match “Using ICC Profiles” feature. This is similar to  
Windows ICM, but offers several additional features.

OKI “USING ICC PROFILES” FEATURE  
Affects RGB data only.  
This provides a method of matching RGB colors similar to Windows  
ICM matching. The main advantage it has over Windows ICM color  
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 (e.g., a digital camera) provide information about the  
color 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 (e.g., the ES 3037 printer) provide information  
about the device to which you are printing.  
The Using ICC Profiles feature uses both the input and output  
profiles to generate a CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary), which is  
used to match the colors as closely as possible.  
NOTE  
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) color space, and a print (output)  
color space

PRINTING OVERLAYS  
What are Overlays?  
An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is  
stored in the printer’s flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied on  
some models, optional on others), and printed whenever required.  
The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to  
be much more elaborate.  
Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms,  
or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.  
An example of using Overlays:  
Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer  
using the Storage Device Manager:  
the company logo  
the company address  
the company mission statement.  
The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your  
document in various combinations, depending on your  
requirements.  
ES 3037/3037e Windows Me/98/95 Operation • 308  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
To create overlays:  
1. Create the document that you wish to use for Overlay printing  
(e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file (print file) using the  
printer driver.  
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file  
(print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the printer.  
Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the  
printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the  
printer driver to use the overlays.  
NOTE  
• The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer to  
allow for spooling of the print job before final printing.  
• If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled  
data, DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed.  
• If the software application being used has a collate print  
option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to operate  
correctly.  
• An overlay may consist of more than one component file.

Creating documents to use as overlays  
An overlay can be created in any software application that can  
handle logos, letterheads, forms, etc. and can print to a file.  
PCL Driver  
To create a print (PRN) file:  
1. With the file to be stored as an overlay open in your application  
program, choose File then Print.  
2. Ensure that the "Print To File" option is switched on in your  
application’s Print dialog box.  
3. Depending on the application, you may need to select your  
OKI printer model, and then click Properties…. This should  
open the printer driver settings.  
Important  
Please ensure that you are using the Oki PCL driver to do this.  
4. Choose all of the printer driver settings with which you would  
like your overlay to print.  
5. Try to keep the overlay to a single sheet. Don’t use N-up,  
duplex, finisher options, etc. when creating an overlay. These  
can be added when printing the document that includes the  
overlay.  
6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.  
7. Click Print.  
Instead of sending the print job to the printer, this prompts you to  
save the print job on your PC’s hard disk. Give the file a meaningful  
name such as "my template.prn".

Downloading the print file to use as an overlay  
In the previous topic, you created a print (PRN) file on your PC’s  
hard disk. This topic explains how download this file to the printer  
using the Storage Device Manager.  
The Storage Device Manager software is included with the original  
software CDs that were supplied with your printer.  
1. Launch Storage Device Manager and allow the program to  
discover (locate) the printer.  
2. Click Project then New Project.

3. Select Add File to Project from the Project menu, and select  
the PRN file(s) that you created earlier.  
PCL: This automatically generates a BIN file.  
Important!  
At this step, you will see in the project window that the BIN file is  
assigned an ID number. You can change this ID number by  
double-clicking it, and entering a new one in the ID field.  
PostScript: This automatically generates a PostScript hst file.  
Note the name that the file is assigned in the Storage Device  
Manager. Names are case sensitive.  
NOTE  
For PCL and PS: this is important because you need to use  
this ID number or name when creating overlays in the printer  
driver. Therefore, it is recommended you change the ID  
number or name from the default value and note it for later  
use.  
4. Make sure the printer being used is highlighted in the lower  
window of the Storage Device Manager.  
5. Select the Project menu and then choose Send Project Files  
to Printer.  
This downloads the file to the printer. The Storage Device  
Manager displays "Command Issued" to indicate that the file was  
downloaded successfully.  
6. Close the Storage Device Manager.

installing printer drivers.  
WHICH PRINTER DRIVER TO USE?  
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and Adobe®  
PostScript® (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish.  
Which driver you choose depends on your application.  
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript  
(including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver. This will  
be more efficient and give good results.  
If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript  
graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation  
performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at their  
best quality  
NOTE  
The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript. So if you  
plan to print parts of this manual choose the PostScript  
driver. Otherwise the line art graphics will only print at low  
resolution.  
If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should install  
both drivers: select the same printer port (LPT1 or Network Port) for  
both drivers during the installation.  
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows  
default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different  
printer from within the print dialog, so you can print using the  
alternative driver whenever you need to.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT COLOR PRINTING  
The PCL and PostScript printer drivers supplied with your printer  
provide several controls for changing the color output. For general  
use the default driver settings produce good results for most  
documents.  
Many applications have their own color 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 color management functions.  
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,  
please be aware that color 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 colors  
a monitor or printer can reproduce  
Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full  
range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted  
to a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a printer cannot  
reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.  
Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. 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 colors such as intense reds and  
blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using  
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (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 colors do not match the colors  
displayed on screen.  
ES 3037/3037e Windows NT 4.0 Operation • 343  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Viewing conditions  
A document can look very different under various lighting  
conditions. For example, the colors may look different when viewed  
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under  
standard office fluorescent lighting.  
Printer driver color settings  
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of  
a document. There are several options available to help match the  
printed colors with those displayed on screen. These options are  
explained in subsequent sections of this User Manual.  
Monitor settings  
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change  
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor  
color temperature influences how "warm" or "cool" the colors look.  
NOTE  
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to  
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors  
allow the color 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

How your software application displays color  
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe®  
Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications  
such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s online help  
or user manual for more information.  
Paper type  
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.  
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one  
on specially formulated glossy paper.

CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD  
There is no one 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 color.  
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color  
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 color matching  
settings in the printer driver without warning.  
RGB or CMYK?  
The guidelines for choosing a color 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 color  
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 Color Matching (see page 354) is a generally a good choice.  
Select a matching method appropriate to your monitor.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Matching Specific Colors (e.g., a Company logo)  
RGB only  
Oki Color Matching (see page 354), and the sRGB setting: PCL or  
PS driver.  
PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric option  
(see page 356).  
Use the Color Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB swatches  
and enter your desired RGB values in your application’s color  
picker—PS only (see page 351).  
RGB or CMYK  
If you are printing from a graphics application such as Adobe  
Photoshop, use PostScript Color Matching with the Absolute  
Colorimetric setting (see page 356).  
Printing Vivid Colors  
RGB only  
Use Oki Color Matching (see page 354), with the Monitor 6500k  
Vivid, sRGB or Digital Camera settings (PCL or PS).  
RGB or CMYK  
Use PostScript Color Matching (see page 356) with the Saturation  
option.

COLOR MATCHING: PCL DRIVER  
Color Matching Options  
The Color Matching options in the PCL driver can be used to help  
match your printed colors to the ones displayed on your monitor.  
NOTE  
The PCL driver’s color options are only designed to work  
with RGB data.  
If you are printing CMYK data, we recommend you use the  
PostScript driver.  
To manually set the color matching options in the PCL driver:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers.  
2. Right click the appropriate printer name and click Document  
Defaults.  
3. Click the Color tab.

The Print Color Swatch Utility  
For use with applications which allow you to set your own RGB  
values for colors.  
The Color Swatch utility prints out charts of sample colors. Listed  
below each color are the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue)  
values to use in your application to match that printed color.  
An example of using the Print Color Swatch function:  
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps you  
would follow are:  
1. Click Start Settings Printers.  
2. Right click the printer name and click Document Defaults.  
3. Click the Color tab.  
4. Click the Color Swatch button to print the color swatch  
samples.  
5. Select the shade of red that best suits your needs and make a  
note of the RGB value below that particular shade.  
6. Using your program’s color picker, enter these same RGB  
values (from step 5), and change the logo to that color.  
NOTE  
The RGB color displayed on your monitor may not  
necessarily match what was printed on the color swatch. If  
this is the case, it is probably due to the difference between  
how your monitor and printer reproduce color.

• Rendering Intents  
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from  
the document’s color space to the printer color space. The  
rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine  
how this color conversion takes place.  
The rendering intents that the printer driver provides are listed  
below:  
– Auto  
Best choice for printing general documents.  
– Perceptual  
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the  
source gamut into the printer's gamut while maintaining  
the overall appearance of an image.  
– Saturation  
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you  
don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This  
makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts,  
diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source  
gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer's gamut.  
– Relative Colorimetric  
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop  
printer. 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.  
– Absolute Colorimetric  
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company  
logos etc. Matches colors common to both devices  
exactly, and clips the out of gamut colors 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 color casts, especially  
in the lighter areas of an image.

PRINTING OVERLAYS  
What are Overlays?  
An Overlay can be a combination of graphics, fonts, or text that is  
stored in the printer’s flash memory or on the hard disk (supplied on  
some models, optional on others), and printed whenever required.  
The result is similar to the Watermark feature, but with the ability to  
be much more elaborate.  
Overlays can be useful for tasks such as printing letterheads, forms,  
or invoices, and should reduce the need for pre-printed stationery.  
An example of using Overlays:  
Suppose that you have created and stored three files in the printer  
using the Storage Device Manager:  
the company logo.  
the company address.  
the company mission statement.  
The Overlay feature allows these files to be incorporated into your  
document in various combinations, depending on your  
requirements.  
To create overlays:  
1. In your application, create the document that you wish to use  
for Overlay printing (e.g. a letterhead) and generate a PRN file  
(print file) using the printer driver.  
2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility to convert this PRN file  
(print file) to a storable file format, and download it to the  
printer.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Once someone has set up all the necessary overlay files on the  
printer, other users only have to switch on the required settings in the  
printer driver to use the overlays.  
NOTE  
• The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer to  
allow for spooling of the print job before final printing.  
• If the hard disk memory is insufficient for the spooled  
data, DISK FULL is displayed and only one copy printed.  
• If the software application being used has a collate print  
option, this must be turned OFF for overlay to operate  
correctly.  
• An overlay may consist of more than one component file.  
Creating documents to use as overlays  
An overlay can be created in any software application that can  
handle logos, letterheads, forms, etc. and can print to a file.  
PCL Driver  
To create a print (PRN) file:  
1. With the file to be stored as an overlay open in your application  
program, choose File then Print.  
2. Ensure that the "Print To File" option is switched on in your  
application’s Print dialog box.  
3. Depending on the application, you may need to select your OKI  
printer model, and then click Properties… This should open the  
printer driver settings.  
Important  
Please ensure that you are using the Oki PCL driver to do this.  
4. Choose all of the printer driver settings with which you would  
like your overlay to print.

5. Try to keep the overlay to a single sheet. Don’t use N-up,  
duplex, finisher options, etc. when creating an overlay. These  
can be added when printing the document that includes the  
overlay.  
6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.  
7. Print the document.  
Instead of sending the print job to the printer, this prompts you  
to save the print job on your PC’s hard disk. Give the file a  
meaningful name such as "my template.prn".

Downloading the print file to use as an overlay  
In the previous topic, you created a print (PRN) file on your PC’s hard  
disk. This topic explains how download this file to the printer using the  
Storage Device Manager.  
The Storage Device Manager software is included with the original  
software CDs that were supplied with your printer.  
1. Launch Storage Device Manager and allow the program to  
discover (locate) the printer.  
2. Click Project then New Project.  
3. Select Add File to Project from the Project menu, and select  
the PRN file(s) that you created earlier.  
PCL: This automatically generates a BIN file.  
Important!  
At this step, you will see in the project window that the BIN file is  
assigned an ID number. You can change this ID number by  
double-clicking it, and entering a new one in the ID field.  
PostScript: This automatically generates a PostScript hst file. Note  
the name that the file is assigned in the Storage Device Manager.  
Names are case sensitive.  
NOTE  
For PCL and PS: this is important because you need to use  
this ID number or name when creating overlays in the printer  
driver. Therefore, it is recommended you change the ID  
number or name from the default value and note it for later  
use.

CHANGING THE TONER CARTRIDGE  
When the toner is running low, *** TONER LOW is displayed in the  
control panel (*** is the color name). If printing continues without  
replacing the toner cartridge, CHANGE *** TONER is displayed and  
printing is cancelled.  
Depending on the operating environment, print may become faint  
before this message is displayed. If this happens, remove the toner  
cartridge and check whether it is empty; if so, the toner cartridge  
needs to be replaced.  
Cartridge life is approximately 15,000 letter-size pages at 5% print  
density. The first toner cartridge installed in a new image drum needs  
to be replaced after less than this amount because the toner  
cartridge has to fill a new image drum.  
WARNING!  
Take extreme care when handling toner.  
• Toner can be harmful if inhaled, swallowed or if it gets  
in the eyes.  
• Toner can also stain hands and clothing.  
1. Switch off the printer and open the top cover.

HIGH CAPACITY FEEDER (HCF)  
The high capacity feeder consists of three paper trays together as  
one unit, mounted on casters. Each tray holds approximately 550  
sheets, depending on paper weight, increasing the total printer  
capacity to about 2200 sheets. This high capacity feeder can be  
combined with one additional paper tray to give a maximum printer  
capacity of 2750 sheets.  
NOTE  
The high capacity feeder cannot be used with more than one  
additional paper trays.  
Installing the high capacity feeder  
1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the power cable and  
printer interface cable.  
WARNING!  
The printer weighs 160 lbs. ( 72 kg) without the duplex unit;  
172 lbs. (78 kg) with the duplex unit installed (dxn models).  
Three (3) people are required to lift the printer safely.

COLOR SWATCH UTILITY  
Color Swatch Samples  
The Color Swatch Utility allows you to print color samples or  
swatches on your Oki color printer. The swatches are used with your  
software program to select and reproduce color accurately. The  
swatches represent selected samples of the Oki Color Printer’s color  
palette and can be used to find the desired colors for your printed  
documents.  
NOTE  
• Your software may not be able to match colors using the  
swatch information. You may need to use other matching  
methods.  
• The color swatch samples do not show all the colors  
your Oki Color Printer can print.  
• Other factors influence how you see color: the color and  
finish of the paper, ambient light, even the color  
surrounding the one you are looking at.  
Loading the Utility  
First, install the utility from CD1 using the Oki Menu Installer  
(Windows). To load the utility:  
Click Start Programs Color Swatch Color Swatch Utility.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Selecting Colors  
When you load the utility, a swatch page displays commonly used  
colors. Select print to print sample pages.  
color_swatch_samples.jpg  
Color Samples  
Use the color blocks to pick the specific colors that you want to  
appear in your printed document.  
Color Values  
Each color block, or sample, is identified with information your  
software package needs to reproduce that color accurately. The  
numbers under each block specify the amounts of the primary  
colors—red (R), green (G), and blue (B)—that mix to form each  
particular shade. The amounts are given as a numerical value  
between 0 and 255.

Creating Custom Swatch Colors  
If you don’t find your desired color, you can create or customize  
colors:  
1. Select Custom Swatch from the File menu.  
2. On the pop-up window, there are 3 slide bars that allow you to  
customize swatches:  
Hue bar changes the hue of the swatches.  
For example, red to green or blue to yellow.  
Saturation bar changes vividness.  
Lightness bar changes darkness.  
3. Adjust the bars until you see the desired color. Color variations  
are created to help you find the best match.  
4. Click OK, then print the custom swatch page.  
5. Repeat these steps if you still don’t find the desired printed

General Information  
Storage Device Manager (SDM) provides a means of managing  
• The printer’s internal hard disk drive (standard on all dxn  
models): 10 GB [partitioned as Common, PCL and  
PostScript].  
• The printer’s flash memory (2 MB).  
• Using the software improves the internal performance of the  
printer and provides a tool for downloading files from the  
computer to the printer’s memory, including  
– Overlays such as logos, addresses, etc.  
– Graphic files  
– Forms such as letterheads, invoices, etc.  
NOTE  
The printer’s internal hard drive does not communicate  
directly back to the Storage Device Manager software; it  
sends any error messages to the printer display. If things  
seems to be “stuck,” go to the printer and check the display.

Types of Users  
• Guest users, without username, can get basic information  
about devices, such as type, status and location of printing  
devices.  
• Standard users, in addition to guest user information,  
standard users can get information about printing resources,  
configure e-mail alerts, and get basic statistics reports.  
• Administrators can manage devices, maps, alerts, user  
accounts, maintenance data, and create comprehensive  
statistics reports.  
Typical usage scenarios  
• The network administrator in a large organization can get  
customized daily reports of the status of all printers including  
usage reports. User accounts can be configured so that a  
person in each department can manage their local printers.  
• The system can be set to alert the local user and the  
administrator of problems. The administrator can log into the  
PrintSuperVision system from any client machine and  
manage printers on different sites, looking at a map view to  
see instantly the status of all the printers.  
• The administrator can keep a close track of the cost of the  
printers including tracking maintenance. PrintSuperVision  
also provides a consumables prediction facility to advise  
when consumable will need replacing based on current  
printer usage (Oki color printers).
