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 220g/m² media.  
CHANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE  
The default language used by your machine for display messages is English. If required,  
this can be changed using the Panel Language Set-up utility.

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.  
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.  
Pre-printed stationery  
CAUTION!  
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset  
when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing  
process.  
Continued use of pre-printed stationery may cause the paper feed  
performance to degrade over time and paper jams may occur.  
Clean the paper feed rollers as described on page 81.  
Envelopes  
Envelopes should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.  
CAUTION!  
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.  
They should also be of the rectangular “peel and seal” 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  
Transparencies should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.  
CAUTION!  
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers  
and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies  
designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the  
fuser and cause damage.  
Labels  
Labels should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.  
CAUTION!  
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.

(> 176g/m² - MP Tray only)  
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd/3rd 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. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled  
in the Print Menu.  
If fitted, tray 2/3 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 2/3, because parts  
of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2. This also applies to tray 2 when paper is  
being fed from tray 3.  
MULTI PURPOSE TRAY  
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up  
to 220g/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 multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 64mm and lengths up to 1321mm  
(banner printing).  
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.  
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 128g/m². Pages printed in reading order  
(page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).  
Paper recommendations > 12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
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 220g/m².  
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than  
128g/m².  
DUPLEX UNIT  
This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as  
tray 2/3 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 64-105g/m².  
NOTE:  
The duplex unit comes as standard with dn & cdtn models.

4.  
Adjust the rear stopper, paper guides (2) and cassette tray roller (3) to the size and  
orientation of paper being used. For A6 paper, remove and re-install in the A6  
position.  
CAUTION!  
> IMPORTANT: Set paper size dial (3) to the size and orientation of  
paper being used (A4 LEF in the above example).  
> C801 and C810: 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.  
If the paper is oriented short-edge, the  
Long Edge Feed checkbox must be  
disabled in the printer driver.  
If the driver setting doesn't match the paper orientation, the  
printer will display an error message indicating that a mismatch  
has occurred.  
5.  
Close the paper tray gently.  
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.  
If 3 trays are fitted this applies to trays 1 & 2 if printing from the 3rd (lower) tray.  
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.).  
CAUTION!  
Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as it may  
result in a paper jam.

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 above for the  
2nd tray).

PRINTING SETTINGS IN WINDOWS (C801 AND C810 ONLY)  
Your printer’s 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. Other Windows versions may appear  
slightly different, but the principles are the same.  
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.  
SETUP TAB  
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 the current document.

1.  
2.  
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) or the multi purpose feeder. You can also click on the appropriate part of  
the screen graphic to select your preferred tray.  
3.  
4.  
The setting for paper weight should match the type of paper on which you intend to  
print.  
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.  
Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

For two-sided printing, you can choose to flip the page by the long edge or the short  
edge.  
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.  
JOB OPTIONS TAB  
1.  
The output resolution of the printed page can be set as follows.  
> The ProQ2400 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.  
> The Normal setting prints at 600 x 600dpi and is suitable for most draft  
documents, where print quality is less critical.  
2.  
3.  
You can print watermark text behind the main page image. This is useful for marking  
documents as draft, confidential, etc.  
You can select up to 999 copies to print consecutively, although you will need to top  
up the paper tray during such a long print run.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
Page orientation can be set to either portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).  
The printed pages can be scaled to fit larger or smaller stationery.  
Clicking the Advanced button gives you access to further settings. For example,  
you can elect to have black areas printed using 100%K toner (a more matte  
appearance).

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.  
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 cyan, magenta and yellow (composite black),  
giving a more glossy appearance, or using only black toner (true black), giving a  
more matte appearance. Choosing the automatic setting allows the driver to make  
the most appropriate choice depending on image content.

Specifies that documents should be spooled (stored in a special print file) before

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.  
8.  
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  
document restarted from the print queue. Mismatched documents in the queue will  
not prevent correctly matched documents from printing.  
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.

Photo Enhance  
Use Photo Enhance to significantly improve quality when printing images. The printer  
driver analyses any photographic images and processes them to improve the overall  
appearance. This setting cannot be used together with the “ProQ2400” print quality setting.  
Toner Saving  
Toner saving uses less toner when printing your document. This is best suited to draft text  
documents as it lightens the print significantly.

space. This might be useful if colour  
matching from an sRGB input device such  
as a scanner or digital camera.  
Black Finish  
Use this option to control the way black is printed in colour documents. Select Composite  
Black (CMYK) to use all 4 toner colours to represent black. This option is recommended  
for color photos. Select True Black (K) to use 100% black toner to represent black. This  
option is recommended for text and business graphics.  
Brightness / Saturation  
This option allows you to increase brightness for a lighter print. Modify saturation to change  
the strength (or purity) of a colour.

If the printed colours are too strong, reduce saturation and increase brightness. As a  
general rule, reduce saturation by the same amount as you increase brightness. For  
example, if you reduce saturation by 10, increase brightness by 10 to compensate.  
PRINTER SETUP OPTIONS  
PRINTER OPTIONS  
Media weight  
Select the thickness or type of paper in the printer. It is important to set this correctly as  
it affects the temperature at which the toner is fused to the paper. For example, if you are  
printing on normal A4 paper, do not select Labels or Transparency as this may cause toner  
smearing and paper jams.  
Auto tray switch  
If the printer runs out of paper in the current tray, Auto Tray Switch automatically changes  
to a tray that has the same type of paper and continues printing.  
Paper size check  
Select Paper Size check if you want the printer to warn you when the document paper size  
is different from the paper in the printer.  
A warning message is displayed and printing continues when you load the correct paper in  
the paper tray and press ONLINE. When this option is deselected, the printer uses the  
paper loaded in the selected tray regardless of the document size.  
Feed manually from Multipurpose Tray  
Select this option if you want the printer to wait until you press the ONLINE button when  
feeding from the Multipurpose Tray. This can be useful if printing on envelopes.  
Always create 100% black (K) toner  
Select this option if you want the printer to always use only black (K) toner when printing  
pure black (RGB = 0,0,0). This is effective even when Composite Black (CMYK) is selected  
in the colour options.  
Run maintenance cycle before printing  
Depending on printing habits and usage patterns, running the maintenance cycle before  
printing may ensure the best possible print quality. This feature uses the printer's image  
drums and transfer belt. The life of these printer consumables may be shortened if the  
printer runs a maintenance cycle frequently.

COLOUR PRINTING (C801 AND C810 ONLY)  
The printer drivers supplied with your machine 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 program’s 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.  
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.  
TIPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR  
The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour output from your printer.  
PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES  
Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.  
If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or Digital Camera settings.  
PRINTING FROM MICROSOFT OFFICE APPLICATIONS  
Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having problems with specific  
colours from applications such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Powerpoint.  
PRINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS  
(E  
.G.  
A COMPANY LOGO)  
There are 2 utilities on your DVD-ROM that can help match specific colours:  
>
>
Colour Correct Utility  
Colour Swatch Utility  
ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT  
If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control to adjust it.  
If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the Saturation control.  
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 Faxes” in  
Windows XP).  
2.  
3.  
Right-click the printer name and choose Properties.  
Click the Printing Preferences button (1).

2.  
Choose the Manual colour setting (2) and select from the following options:  
(a) Monitor (6500k) Perceptual  
Optimised for printing photographs. Colours are printed with emphasis on  
saturation.  
(b) Monitor (6500k) Vivid  
Optimised for printing photographs, but with even more saturated colours than  
the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.  
(c) Monitor (9300k)  
Optimised for printing graphics from applications such as Microsoft Office.  
Colours are printed with emphasis on Lightness.  
(d) Digital Camera  
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera.  
Your results will vary depending on the subject and the conditions under which  
the photograph was taken.  
(e) 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.  
USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE  
To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour Swatch Utility. This is  
supplied on the DVD-ROM that you received 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.  
2.  
3.  
Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that best suits your needs.  
Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that you liked.  
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.  
USING THE COLOUR CORRECT UTILITY  
The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your DVD-ROM.  
The Colour Correct utility has the following features:  
>
Office palette colours can be individually adjusted. This is useful if you want to  
change how a specific colour is printed.  
>
Colours can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and Gamma. This is useful if  
you wish to change the overall colour output.  
Once these colour adjustments have been made, the new settings can be selected from the  
printer driver Colour tab.  
To select adjustments made with the Colour Correct Utility:  
1.  
2.

EXPLANATION  
MONO-PRINT SPEED  
AUTO SPEED  
If the first page of a print job is black and white, the  
printer runs at 32ppm (pages per minute). When a  
colour page is detected the printer slows down to  
30ppm (C810) or 26ppm (C801) for the rest of that  
job.  
MONO 32PPM  
This setting operates in the same way as AUTO SPEED,  
except that the printer runs at 32ppm until a colour  
page is detected. To achieve this speed the printer  
requires an additional time to warm up and cool down  
when switching to 30ppm (C810) or 26ppm (C801) for  
colour pages. This setting is therefore most appropriate  
when the majority of print jobs are entirely black and  
white.  
COLOR SPEED  
MIXED SPEED  
The printer runs at 30ppm (C810) or 26ppm (C801) for  
all print jobs. This setting is most appropriate when the  
majority of print jobs are in colour.  
The printer runs at 26 ppm (C810) or 22ppm (C801)  
for colour pages and 30 ppm (C810) or 26ppm (C801)  
for mono pages.

EXPLANATION  
Print Setup  
(cont.)  
Mono-Print  
Speed  
If the first page of a print job is black and white, the  
printer runs at 32ppm (pages per minute). When a colour  
page is detected the printer slows down to 30ppm (C830)  
or 26ppm (C821) for the rest of that job.  
Mono 32ppm  
This setting operates in the same way as AUTO SPEED,  
except that the printer runs at 32ppm until a colour page  
is detected. To achieve this speed the printer requires an  
additional time to warm up and cool down when switching  
to 30ppm (C830) or 26ppm (C821) for colour pages. This  
setting is therefore most appropriate when the majority of  
print jobs are entirely black and white.  
Color Speed  
Mixed Speed  
The printer runs at 30ppm (C830) or 26ppm (C821) for all  
print jobs. This setting is most appropriate when the  
majority of print jobs are in colour.  
The printer runs at 26 ppm (C830) or 22ppm (C821) for  
colour pages and 30 ppm (C830) or 26ppm (C821) for  
mono pages.

MAINTENANCE  
REPLACING CONSUMABLE ITEMS  
This section explains how to replace consumable items when due.  
NOTE:  
When the LCD display indicates TONER LOW, or if print appears faded, first  
open the top cover and try tapping the cartridge a few times to evenly  
distribute the toner powder. This will enable you to obtain the best "yield" from  
your toner cartridge.  
TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT  
CAUTION!  
To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not  
change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed.  
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. Any other toner cartridge may not operate at all, even if it is described as  
“compatible”, and if it does work, your product's performance and print quality may be  
degraded.  
Non-genuine original products may invalidate your warranty.  
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.  
1.  
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.

4.  
Put the assembly down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent toner from marking  
your furniture and to avoid damaging the green drum surface.  
CAUTION!  
The green image drum surface at the base of the 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. If the drum unit needs  
to be out of the printer for longer than this, please wrap the  
cartridge inside a black plastic bag to keep it away from light.  
Never expose the drum to direct sunlight or very bright room  
lighting.  
5.  
With the coloured toner release lever to the right, pull the lever towards you. This  
will release the bond between the toner cartridge and the image drum cartridge.  
6.  
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  
image drum cartridge. Place the cartridge on a piece of paper to avoid marking your  
furniture.  
7.  
8.  
Take the new image drum cartridge out of its packaging and place it on the piece of  
paper where the old cartridge was placed. Keep it the same way round as the old  
unit. Pack the old cartridge inside the packaging material for disposal.  
Place the toner cartridge onto the new image drum cartridge as shown. Push the left  
end in first, and then lower the right end in. (It is not necessary to fit a new toner  
cartridge at this time unless the remaining toner level is very low.)

ADJUSTING PRINTER DRIVERS  
Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to update the printer driver so  
that the additional features are available to your applications.  
Remember that if your printer is shared between users on different computers, the driver  
must be adjusted on each user’s 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, hard disk or paper tray(s), proceed as follows:  
WINDOWS  
1.  
Access the driver’s Properties window.  
(a) Open the Printers window (called “Printers and Faxes” in Windows XP) via the  
Start Menu or from the Windows Control Panel.  
(b) Right-click the icon for this machine, and choose Properties from the pop-up  
menu.  
2.  
Select the Device Options tab.  
In the Windows XP PostScript driver the tab may be called Device Settings.  
3.  
4.  
Set the options for any devices you have just installed.  
Click OK to close the window and save your changes.  
MAC OS X  
If you have added additional hardware to your printer, these must be enabled in the printer  
driver. Additional hardware may include extra paper trays, a printer hard disk or a duplex  
unit.  
Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5)  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Open the Mac OS X Print & Fax Preferences.  
Ensure your machine is selected.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on the 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 Alert  
LED on the Status Panel (together with the Status Monitor) informs you of the event. If  
printing multiple pages (or copies), do not assume that, having cleared an obvious sheet,  
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.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS  
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 printer’s top cover fully.  
WARNING!  
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser will be hot. This area  
is clearly labelled. Do not touch.

Note the positions of the four toner cartridges (a) and image drums (b). It is essential  
that they go back in the same order.

It will be necessary to remove the four image drums (b) to gain access to the paper  
path.  
4.  
Holding it by its top centre, lift the image drum, complete with its toner cartridge, up  
and out of the printer.  
5.  
Put the assembly down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent toner from marking  
your furniture and to avoid damaging the green drum surface, and cover.  
CAUTION!  
The green image drum surface at the base of the Image Drum is  
very delicate and light sensitive. Do not touch it and do not expose  
it to normal room light for more than 5 minutes.

CAUTION!  
Do not use any sharp or abrasive objects to separate sheets from  
the belt. This may damage the belt surface.  
(a) To remove a sheet with its leading edge at the front of the belt (1), carefully lift  
the sheet from the belt and pull it forwards into the internal drum cavity and  
withdraw the sheet.  
(b) To remove a sheet from the central area of the belt (2), carefully separate the  
sheet from the belt surface and withdraw the sheet.  
(c) To remove a sheet just entering the fuser (3), separate the trailing edge of the  
sheet from the belt, lift the fuser pressure release levers (4) up and press  
toward the rear to release the fuser’s grip on the sheet, and withdraw the sheet  
through the drum cavity area.  
NOTE:  
If the sheet is well advanced into the fuser (only a short length is still visible),  
do not attempt to pull it back.

Holding the complete assembly by its top centre, lower it into place in the printer,  
locating the pegs at each end into their slots in the sides of the printer cavity.

Lower the top cover but do not press down to latch it closed yet. This will protect the  
drums from excessive exposure to room lighting while you check the remaining  
areas for jammed sheets.

close the cover.  
15. Pull out the paper tray(s) and ensure that all paper is stacked properly, is  
undamaged, and that the paper guides are properly positioned against the edges of  
the paper stack. When satisfied, replace the tray.  
16. Finally, close the top cover and press down firmly so that the cover latches closed.  
When the jam has been cleared, if Jam Recovery is set to ON in the System Configuration  
Menu, the printer will attempt to reprint any pages lost due to paper jams.
