  • Page 20: Colour Tab

    OLOUR TAB Control over the colour output of your printer may be performed automatically, or for advanced control, by 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 Auto.

  • Page 21: Setting From Windows Control Panel

    ETTING FROM INDOWS 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.

    OLOUR 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.
  • Page 26 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.

As a guide, the life expectancy of these items is: > Toner — 1,500 (standard capacity) or 3,000 (high capacity) A4 pages at 5% coverage, which means that 5% of the addressable print area is printed with this colour.

  • Page 45: Consumable Order Details

    Average life: 20% pages at continuous print, 50% pages at 3 pages per job and 30% pages at 1 page per job. Only use genuine Oki Original consumables to ensure the best quality and performance from your hardware. Non Oki Original products may damage your printer's performance and invalidate your warranty.

  • Page 46: Toner Cartridge Replacement

    ONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT CAUTION! To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed. 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.
  • Page 47 Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully. WARNING! If the printer has been powered on, the fuser may be hot. This area is clearly labelled. Do not touch. Note the positions of the four cartridges. 1. Cyan cartridge 2.
  • Page 48 Carry out one of the following: If you are replacing a toner cartridge that has been supplied with your printer (lever has 3 positions), pull the coloured toner release lever on the cartridge to be replaced towards the front of the printer, in the direction of the arrow, but stop at the central (upright) position (1).
  • Page 49 Lift the right-hand end of the cartridge and then draw the cartridge to the right to release the left-hand end as shown, and withdraw the toner cartridge out of the printer. Put the cartridge down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent toner from marking your furniture.
  • Page 50 Gently shake the new cartridge from end to end several times to loosen and distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Remove the wrapping material and peel off the adhesive tape from the underside of the cartridge. Holding the cartridge by its top centre with the coloured lever to the right, lower it into the printer over the image drum unit from which the old cartridge was removed.
  • Page 51 Pressing gently down on the cartridge to ensure that it is firmly seated, push the coloured lever (1) towards the rear of the printer. This will lock the cartridge into place and release toner into the image drum unit. Finally, close the top cover and press down firmly at both sides so that the cover latches closed.

  • Page 56: Replacing The Belt Unit

    EPLACING THE BELT UNIT The belt unit is located under the four image drums. This unit requires replacement approximately every 50,000 pages. Switch off the printer and allow the fuser to cool for about 10 minutes before opening the cover. Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully.
  • Page 57 Lift each of the image drum units out of the printer and place them in a safe place away from direct sources of heat and light. CAUTION! The green image drum surface at the base of each cartridge is very delicate and light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose it to normal room light for more than 5 minutes.
  • Page 58 Lower the new belt unit into place, with the lifting bar at the front and the drive gear towards the rear of the printer. Locate the drive gear into the gear inside the printer by the rear left corner of the unit, and lower the belt unit flat inside the printer.

  • Page 59: Fuser Replacement

    USER REPLACEMENT The fuser is located inside the printer just behind the four image drum units. WARNING! If the printer has recently been powered on, some fuser components will be very hot. Handle the fuser with extreme care, holding it only by its handle, which will only be mildly warm to the touch.
  • Page 60 Identify the fuser handle (1) on the top of the fuser unit. Pull the two fuser retaining levers (2) towards the front of the printer so that they are fully upright. Holding the fuser by its handle (1), lift the fuser straight up and out of the printer.
  • Page 61 Lower the fuser into the printer, locating the two lugs (3) into their slots in the metal partition which separates the fuser area from the image drums.

  • Page 63: Installing Upgrades> 63

    NSTALLING UPGRADES This section explains how to install optional equipment into your printer. This includes: • duplex (two-sided printing) unit; • additional RAM memory.

Installation takes a few minutes, and requires a medium size cross-head (philips type) screwdriver.
  • Page 66 Carefully remove the new memory board from its wrapping. Try to handle the board only by its short edges, avoiding contact with any metal parts as far as possible. In particular, avoid touching the edge connector. Notice that the memory board has a small cutout in the edge connector, which is closer to one end than the other.
  • Page 67 Hold the new memory board by its short edges, so that the edge connector faces in towards the RAM expansion slot, and the small cutout is closer to the bottom of the printer. Gently push the board into the RAM expansion slot until it latches in and will not go any further.

  • Page 68: Adjusting Windows Printer Drivers

    DJUSTING INDOWS 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.

  • Page 69: Clearing Paper Jams

    LEARING 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.
