EAR

VIEW

This view shows the connection panel, the rear output stacker

and the location of the optional duplex (two-sided printing) unit.

* The Network Interface has 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. This avoids bending

the paper around curves in the paper path and enables feeding

of up to 200g/m² media.

75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.

Suitable types are:

>Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;

>Colour Copy by Neusiedler.

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.

Envelopes should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

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.

These will melt in the fuser and cause damage. Transparencies

should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

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.

ASSETTE

TRAYS

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. (See “Printer Settings in

Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems,

this function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions”

later in this guide.)

If fitted, tray 2 may be removed and replenished while the

machine is being fed from tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while

the machine is being fed from tray 2, because parts of tray 1 are

used to guide paper fed from tray 2.

ULTI

PURPOSE

TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette

trays but in weights up to 200g/m² (Ultra heavy). 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 multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm

and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).

SIZE DIMENSIONS WEIGHT (G/M²)

A6 (Tray 1

only) 105 x 148mm

Paper recommendations > 17

For paper lengths exceeding 431.8mm use paper stock up to

128g/m² and the face up (rear) paper stacker.

Use the multi purpose 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.

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).

ACE

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 200g/m².

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper

stocks heavier than 176g/m².

UPLEX

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 64-105g/m².

paper through 90

degrees anti-

clockwise.

2. When printing double

sided pages (duplex

unit required). You can

flip the paper either on

its long edge or short

edge.

3. Pages can be printed in forward or reverse order. If using

the face down (top) paper stacker, forward order is

usually appropriate to ensure that pages are stacked in

numerical order. If using the face up (rear) paper stacker,

reverse order would normally stack your pages in

numerical order.

4. You can specify how many pages to print on a sheet.

Pages will be scaled to fit the number you choose. If you

choose booklet printing (requires duplex unit) two pages

will automatically be set, and pages will be printed with

the correct pages opposite one another so that folding the

stacked printout produces a booklet.

5. Advanced options are also available, such as how to

download TrueType fonts, and whether advanced options

such as booklet printing are available.

The printer driver contains extensive on-line help for these items

to help you make the most appropriate choices.

EMULATION

When you click the Properties button from your application’s

Print dialogue, the driver window opens to allow you to specify

your printing preferences for this 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.

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.

3. 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. 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.

5. If you have changed some printing preferences before and

The printer drivers supplied with your printer provide several

ACTORS

THAT

AFFECT

THE

APPEARANCE

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 (Basics) > 40

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 monitor’s

colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours

look.

There are several settings found on a typical monitor:

>5000k Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in

graphic art 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 colour

Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe

Photoshop may display colour differently from “Office”

applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s

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.

SING

THE

COLOUR

SWATCH

FEATURE

To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour

Swatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was supplied

with your printer.

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 Colour Swatch

button (1) and choose from the options available.

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.

3. Using your program’s 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.

When a job is sent to the printer, the ICC profiles are applied to

the print job on the printer.

COLOUR

MATCHING

The Graphic Pro colour matching system is both powerful and

flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro colour

matching system can be used:

ATCHING

PRINTER

COLOUR

RGB

INPUT

DEVICE

By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or monitor,

the printer's colour can be matched to the input device.

RINTER

SIMULATION

Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of another

printer, even when printing RGB documents. For best results, use

CMYK documents when simulating the colour output of other

printers.

CMYK

INK

SIMULATION

Your printer can be used to simulate the colour output of a

commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color

inks).

NOTE:

Some features of Graphic Pro colour matching can only be

used if your printer is fitted with a hard disk. The printer hard

disk is required if you wish to download and use your own ICC

profiles to the printer.

The printer’s internal hard disk is an optional accessory for

some models.

If your printer does not have a hard disk fitted, you will only

be able to select the factory default profiles that are built-in

to the printer.

PROFILE

SUPPORTED

There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro

colour matching system:

PROFILE

TYPE

DESCRIPTION

RGB Source

(RGB Input)

These profiles describe the device that was used to capture

RGB data (e.g. scanner or digital camera).

The RGB Input Profile may also be your monitor profile if

you are trying to match to your screen.

CMYK

Simulation

(CMYK input)

These profiles describe the CMYK device whose colours you

are trying to simulate. Typically this would be another

manufacturer's printer or an offset printing press.

Profiles are already built-in to the printer for commercial

printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale.

Printer

(CMYK Output)

This profile describes the colour characteristics of your own

printer.

The printer already has factory default profiles built-in, but

you can replace these profiles with your own if required.

Link Profile This is a special type of ICC profile that converts directly

from CMYK to CMYK.

For example, a link profile could convert directly from the

CMYK space of another printer to the CMYK space of your

printer.

You can download profiles to the printer hard disk using the

Profile Assistant utility.

Using Profile Assistant

1. Launch Profile Assistant

2. Select a printer

If this is the first time you have used Profile Assistant, you

should allow the utility to search for compatible printers.

Select the connection types that you wish to search – USB

or Network (TCP/IP), and click [Start].

WHERE TO GET PROFILES

RGB Source

(RGB Input)

Obtain your RGB source profiles from your scanner,

camera or monitor manufacturer.

CMYK

Simulation

(CMYK input)

Obtain the simulation profile from the manufacturer of the

printer you wish to simulate.

Printer

(CMYK Output)

The factory default profiles for your printer are built-in. If

you need greater accuracy, you should create your own

printer profile using third-party ICC profile creation

software.

Link Profile You can create Link profiles using third-party ICC profile

creation software.

Note that not all ICC profile creation software can create

Link profiles.

If you know the Printer’s IP address, you can enter it

manually.

3. The main screen of Profile Assistant displays the profiles

resident on the selected printer’s hard disk. To download a

new profile to the printer:

(a) Click [Add].

(b) Select an ICC profile from your computer's hard

disk.

the printer as one of the 4 profile types - RGB

Source, CMYK Simulation, Printer or Linked.

(d) The options available will depend on which ICC

profile you have selected. For example, if you have

selected a CMYK profile, you may only be able to add

this to the printer as a CMYK Simulation or Printer

output profile.

(e) Select a number from 1 to 12. This number is used

to identify the profile in the printer driver.

(f) Click [OK] to download the ICC profile to the printer.

The Graphic Pro colour matching system can be used to match

the printer colour to an RGB input device such as a monitor,

scanner or digital camera.

To match an RGB input device, first download the RGB source

profile and printer profile (optional) to the printer hard disk using

Profile Assistant. See “Using Profile Assistant” on page 56.

Once the profile(s) have been down loaded, make the

appropriate selections in the printer driver. These are described

in the next section (Windows page 59, Mac OS X page 60).

INDOWS

This information applies to the Windows PCL 5c, PCL 6 and

PostScript drivers.

To match the colour of an input RGB device such as a monitor,

scanner or digital camera, make the following selections in the

printer driver:

1. On the printer driver [Colour] tab, select [Graphic Pro] (1)

and click [Options].

2. Select [ICC Profile Colour Matching] (2).

3. Select the ICC profile that corresponds to the device you

are trying to match such as your monitor, scanner or

digital camera (3).

Remember that the names “RGB Source 1”, “RGB
