When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight.
HANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE The default language used by your printer for display messages and for report printing is English. If required, this can be changed to:l German French Italian Spanish Swedish Russian Finnish Hungarian See the information enclosed with the printer on the procedure for changing the language setting.
Window envelopes are not suitable. Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki Printing Solutions transparencies (Order No. 01074101). In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens.
Legal 14in. If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd tray if you have one, or multi purpose 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.
ACE 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).
OADING PAPER ASSETTE TRAYS Remove the paper tray from the printer. Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the middle (2) to ensure that all sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3).

Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards the front of the printer, as shown. 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.
Page 17
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.

• Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to the left and short edge into the printer. Do not select duplex printing on envelopes. • Do not exceed the paper capacity of about 50 sheets or 10 envelopes.
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.

Booklet printing requires the duplex unit to be installed in your printer. Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.
Page 22
The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows. • The High Quality setting prints at 600 x 600dpi x 2 bit. This option requires the most printer memory and takes the longest to print. • The Fine/Detail setting prints at 1200 x 600dpi and is adequate for all but the most discerning applications.

Your results will vary depending on the subject and the conditions under which the photograph was taken. sRGB The printer will try to reproduce the sRGB colour space. This may be useful if colour matching from an sRGB input device such as a scanner or digital camera.
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.
SING THE OLOUR The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver CD-ROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed along with the printer driver. The Colour Correct utility has the following features: > Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually adjusted.
It should be noted that many of these settings can be, and often are, overridden by settings in the Windows printer drivers. However, several of the driver settings can be left at “Printer Setting”, which will then default to the settings entered in these printer menus.
