OTES CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS NOTE A note provides additional information to supplement the main text. A caution provides additional information which, if ignored, may result in equipment malfunction or damage. A warning provides additional information which, if ignored, may result in a risk of personal injury. For the protection of your product, and in order to ensure that you benefit from its full functionality, this model has been designed to operate only with genuine original toner cartridges.
NTRODUCTION Congratulations on buying this Oki Printing Solutions color printer. Your new printer is designed with advanced features to give you clear, vibrant color prints and crisp black and white pages at high speed on a range of print media for the office.
RINTER OVERVIEW RONT VIEW 1. Output stacker (face down). Standard printed copy delivery point. Holds up to 250 sheets at 80g/m². 2. Operator panel. Menu driven operator controls and LCD display panel. 3. Paper tray. Standard blank paper tray. Holds up to 300 sheets of 80g/m²...
* The Network Interface may have a protective “plug” which must be removed before connection can be made. 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.
APER 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 20 to 24 lb (75~90g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.
(two-sided printing) function. 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).
Load paper long edge feed (LEF) (letter headed paper - face down and top edge towards the right of the printer) (1) up to mark (a). Adjust the rear stopper, paper guides (2) and cassette tray roller (3) to the size and orientation of paper being used.
Page 13
IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (3) to the size and orientation of paper being used (A4 LEF in the above example). > C810 only: GDI printers use the printer settings defined by the host (PC). If the paper is oriented long-edge, the Long Edge Feed (LEF) checkbox must be enabled in the printer driver.
Page 14
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.
For two-sided (duplex) printing on A4 headed paper load the paper with pre- printed side down and left hand edge (LEF), top edge (SEF) away from the printer. (Optional duplex unit must be installed for this function.) > Envelopes should be loaded face up with top edge to the left and short edge into the printer.
