When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits 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 Windowslater in this guide.)  
When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print  
Menu. (See Menu Functionslater 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 > 11

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.

4.  
Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the size of  
paper being used.  
To prevent paper jams:  
>
Do not leave space between the paper and the guides  
and rear stopper.  
>
Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the  
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.

For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3)  
is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer). Stacking  
capacity is approximately 250 sheets, depending on paper  
weight.  
For face up printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (3) is  
open and the paper support (4) is extended. Paper is stacked  
in reverse order and tray capacity is approximately 100 sheets,  
depending on paper weight.  
Always use the face up (rear) stacker for heavy paper (card  
stock etc.)

PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS  
Your printers 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. Windows 9x and Me are substantially different and are covered  
in a separate chapter.  
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 settings available from within your  
application are only those which you may want to change for specific  
applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only  
last for as long as the particular application program is running.

preferences for the current  
document.

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.

The normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is

The fast setting prints at 300 x 300dpi and is suitable  
for draft documents, where print quality is less critical.

You can print watermark text behind the main page image.  
This is useful for marking documents as draft, confidential,

Control over the colour output of your printer may be  
performed automatically to using manual adjustment. The  
automatic setting will be appropriate in most cases. The other  
options in this window only become visible when you select a  
choice other than automatic.  
You can choose from a range of colour matching options,  
depending on the image source for your document. For  
example, a photograph taken on a digital camera might  
require different colour matching to a business graphic  
created in a spreadsheet application. Again, for most general  
purpose use, automatic is the best choice.  
3.  
4.  
Printed output may be made lighter or darker, or the colours  
made more saturated and vibrant as required.  
Black areas may be printed using 100% cyan, magenta and  
yellow, giving a more glossy appearance, or using only black  
toner, giving a more matte appearance. Choosing the  
automatic setting allows the driver to make the most  
appropriate choice depending on image content.

SETTING FROM WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL  
When you open the driver properties window directly from Windows,  
rather than from within an application program, a somewhat more  
extensive range of settings is provided. Changes made here will  
generally affect all documents you print from Windows applications,  
and will be remembered from one Windows session to the next.

default settings for all Windows applications.

You can specify which times of day your printer will be  
available.  
Indicates current priority, from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest).  
Highest priority documents will print first.  
Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a  
special print file) before being printed. The document is then  
printed in the background, allowing your application program  
to become available more quickly.  
4.  
This specifies that printing should not start until the last page  
has been spooled. If your application program needs a lot of  
time for further computation in the middle of printing, causing  
the print job to pause for more than a short period, the printer  
could prematurely assume that the document has finished.  
Selecting this option would prevent that situation, but printing  
will be completed a little later, as the start is delayed.  
5.  
6.  
This is the opposite choice to the one above. Printing starts as  
soon as possible after the document begins spooling.  
This specifies that the document should not be spooled, but  
printed directly. Your application will not normally be ready for  
further use until the print job is complete. This requires less  
disk space on your computer, since there is no spool file.  
7.  
Directs the spooler to check the document setup and match it  
to the printer setup before sending the document to print. If a  
mismatch is detected, the document is held in the print queue  
and does not print until the printer setup is changed and the  
PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS > 22

document restarted from the print queue. Mismatched  
documents in the queue will not prevent correctly matched  
documents from printing.  
8.  
Specifies that the spooler should favour documents which  
have completed spooling when deciding which document to  
print next, even if completed documents are lower priority  
than documents which are still spooling. If no documents have  
completed spooling, the spooler will favour larger spooling  
documents over shorter ones. Use this option if you want to  
maximise printer efficiency. When this option is disabled the  
spooler chooses documents based only on their priority  
settings.  
9.  
Specifies that the spooler should not delete documents after  
they are completed. This allows documents to be re submitted  
to the printer from the spooler instead of printing again from  
the application program. If you use this option frequently it  
will require large amounts of disk space on your computer.  
10. Specifies whether advanced features, such as booklet  
printing, page order and pages per sheet, are available,  
depending on your printer. For normal printing keep this  
option enabled. If compatibility problems occur you can  
disable the feature. However, these advanced options may  
then not be available, even though the hardware might  
support them.  
11. This button provides access to the same setup windows as  
when printing from applications. Changes made via the  
Windows Control Panel become the Windows default settings.  
12. You can design and specify a separator page that prints  
between documents. This is particularly useful on a shared  
printer to help each user find their own documents in the  
output stack.

WINDOWS 9X DIFFERENCES  
Screen presentations of Windows 9x, together with some procedures,  
are significantly different than other versions of Windows (2000/XP  
etc.). This Chapter deals mainly with these variations. If necessary,  
reference should be made to the relevant subject or online help for  
more information.  
PRINTER SETTINGS IN WINDOWS  
Your printers 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.  
PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS  
APPLICATIONS  
When you choose to print your  
document from a Windows  
YOUR PRINTER  
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 settings available from within your  
application are only those which you may want to change for specific  
applications or documents. Settings you change here will usually only  
last for as long as the particular application program is running.

SETUP TAB  
When you click the  
Properties button from your  
applications Printdialogue,  
the driver window opens to  
allow you to specify your  
printing preferences for the  
current document.

1.  
Paper size should be  
the same as the page  
size of your  
4
5
document (unless  
you wish to scale the  
printout to fit another  
6
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 multi-purpose 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.  
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.

2.  
You can choose from a range of colour matching options,  
depending on the image source for your document. For  
example, a photograph taken on a digital camera might  
require different colour matching to a business graphic  
created in a spreadsheet application. Again, for most general  
purpose use, Automatic is the best choice.  
3.  
4.  
Printed output may be made lighter or darker, or the colours  
made more saturated and vibrant as required.  
Black areas may be printed using 100% cyan, magenta and  
yellow, giving a more glossy appearance, or using only black  
toner, giving a more matte appearance. Choosing the  
Automatic setting allows the driver to make the most  
appropriate choice depending on image content.

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 programs 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.  
COLOUR PRINTING > 30

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 monitors colour  
temperature influences how warmor coolthe colours look.  
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.  
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature.)  
How your software application displays colour  
Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop  
may display colour differently from Officeapplications such as  
Microsoft Word. Please see your applications on-line help or user  
manual for more information.  
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 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.  
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.  
To open colour matching options from  
the Windows Control Panel:  
1.  
Open the Printers window  
(called Printers and Faxesin  
Windows XP).  
2.  
3.  
Right-click the printer name  
and choose Properties.

Click the Printing Preferences  
button (1).  
To open colour matching options from within a Windows application:

2.  
Choose FilePrintfrom the applications menu bar.  
Click the Properties button next to the printer name.

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.  
Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that best  
suits your needs.  
2.  
Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that you  
liked.  
COLOUR PRINTING > 34  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
3.  
Using your programs 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.

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.

ADJUSTING WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVERS  
Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to update  
the Windows printer driver so that the additional features are  
available to your Windows applications.  
Remember that if your printer is shared between users on different  
computers, the driver must be adjusted on each users machine.  
The illustrations shown here are for Windows XP. Other Windows  
versions may appear slightly different, but the principles are the  
same.  
If you have installed a memory upgrade it is not necessary to change  
the printer driver, and you can ignore this section.  
If you have installed a duplex unit, proceed as follows:  
1.  
Open the Printers window  
(called Printers and Faxesin  
Windows XP) via the Start Menu  
or from the Windows Control  
Panel.  
2.  
Right-click the printer icon for  
this printer, and choose  
Properties from the pop-up  
menu.

4.  
On the Device Options tab,  
check the box for the upgrade you have just installed.  
Click OK to close the properties window, and then close the  
Printers window.

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 printers top cover fully.  
WARNING!  
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser will be hot. This area is  
clearly labeled. Do not touch.
