COLOUR PRINTING CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent. There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and reproducible colour. The following guidelines may help in achieving good colour output from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending on the type of document you are printing. These suggestions are for guidance only.
RGB or CMYK If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space). MATCHING SPECIFIC COLOURS (For instance, a Company logo.) RGB only > Oki Colour Matching, and the sRGB setting (PCL or PS driver).
PCL DRIVER 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. The PCL driver’s colour options are only designed to work with RGB data. If you are printing CMYK data, we recommend you use the PostScript driver. To open colour matching options from the Windows Control Panel: 1. Open the Printers window.
SETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS 1. On the Colour tab select Manual for Colour Matching. 2. Choose from the available options: (a) 1 Monitor (6500k) Perceptual Optimised for printing daylight photographs. (b) Monitor (6500k) Vivid Optimised for printing bright colours. Good for office graphics. (c) Monitor (9300k) Optimised for printing photographs when using a professional graphics monitor. (d) Digital Camera Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera.
USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE 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 Color Swatch button (1) and choose from the options available.
POSTSCRIPT DRIVER COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS The PostScript driver offers several different methods of controlling the colour output of the printer. Some of the colour matching options only work on certain types of data. The table below summarises the various options available, and what types of data they affect.
Digital Camera Optimised for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colours. For some photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects and the conditions under which they were taken. sRGB Optimised for matching specific colours, such as a company logo colour.
> Absolute Colorimetric Best for printing solid colours and tints, such as Company logos etc. Matches colours common to both devices exactly, and clips the “out of gamut” colours to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different from paper white, so this may result in colour casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image. > Relative Colorimetric Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer.
2. Right-click the printer name and choose Properties. 3. Click the Colour Management tab. 4. Under “Colour Profiles currently associated with this printer”, you should see the names of profiles that match your printer model. If you do not see any profiles associated with the driver, click “Add…” and locate the ICC profiles for your printer. Windows ICM uses the information in these profiles to convert colours in your documents to colours that the printer can reproduce.
OVERLAYS AND MACROS NOTE PostScript overlays are not available for Windows 95/98/Me. CREATING PCL OVERLAYS Three steps are required to create an overlay: 1. Create the form data using your own application software and print it to a printer (.PRN) file. 2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import the .PRN file, and download the generated filter (.BIN) files to the printer. 3.
6. Click OK, and when prompted for a print file name, enter a meaningful name with the extension .PRN. 7. Close your application. Step 2: Create and download macros NOTE Ensure that the Storage Device Manager has been installed (on the Printer Drivers CD, “Software Utilities”). 1. From the Windows Start/Programs/Okidata menu, start Storage Device Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer. 2. Choose Projects→New Project to start a new project. 3. Choose Projects→Filter Macro File.
7. The project window will display one .BIN file for each printer file added. Make a careful note of the name and ID number for each of the files. You will need them later. If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click the file entry and edit the details.
2. Right-click on the relevant PCL printer icon and choose Printing Preferences from the pop-up menu. 3. On the Job Options tab, click the Overlay button. 4. In the Overlay window, Click the Define Overlays button (1). 1 5. In the Define Overlays window, enter the name (a) and ID (b) of the required overlay, as noted in step 2, para 7, and define which 1 page(s) (c) of your documents will a use this overlay. Then click the b c Add button (1) to add this overlay to the list of defined overlays.
INSTALLING UPGRADES ADJUSTING WINDOWS 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. 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.
PostScript driver This driver must be adjusted for any upgrade just installed. 1. Open the Printers window via the Start Menu or from the Windows Control Panel. 2. Right-click the printer icon for this printer, and choose Properties from the pop-up menu. 3. On the Device Settings tab, select the upgrade you have just installed from the list of “Installable Options”. Select “Installed” in the “Change Settings for:” box. 4. Click OK to close the Properties window, and then close the Printers window.
MAC OS 9.X / CLASSIC PRINTER DRIVERS CD1 contains the printer drivers. Please refer to the readme file on this CD for the latest information on printer driver installation. If the settings selected manually in the printer differ from those selected in the printer driver, the printer will not print and the LCD will display an error message. The following printer driver instructions are given as a guide only.
Restart your computer if prompted to do so. 1. In the Apple menu, select Chooser. 2. In the left-hand side of the Chooser window, select the LaserWriter printer driver that you use. 3. If you are on a network with multiple AppleTalk zones, select the appropriate zone for the printer in the bottom left side of the Chooser.

If you are on a network with multiple AppleTalk zones, select the appropriate zone for the printer in the bottom left side of the Chooser (if your network does not have multiple AppleTalk zones, this option will not be visible). 4. Select the name of your printer in the right-hand side of the Chooser. 5. Click Setup.... 6. Click Configure. Make changes to the installed hardware options as appropriate for your printer. 7. Click OK, and close the Chooser window to save your settings.
If you select a media type (e.g. Plain), the printer takes paper from a tray that contains that type of media. To assign media types to specific paper trays, you need to use the printer’ s operator panel. If you choose Auto Select, the printer automatically chooses a tray in the printer that contains the correct size of paper. If you choose a paper source manually, ensure that the paper tray in the printer contains paper of the correct size. MAC OS 9.
OPERATION This section explains how to change the printer’s operation for specific print jobs when required. The PostScript printer drivers supplied with this machine provide several controls for changing the colour output of your printer. Generally, using the default settings will suffice, producing good results for most documents. Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver.
COLOUR MATCHING 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. 1. 2. 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.
3. Monitor settings The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours look. NOTE Several of the Printer Driver’s Colour Matching options make reference to your monitor’s Colour Temperature. Many modern monitors allow the colour temperature to be adjusted using the monitor’s control panel.
CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and it's printed equivalent. There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and reproducible colour. However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good colour output from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending on the type of document you are printing. NOTE These suggestions are for guidance only.
MATCHING SPECIFIC COLOURS (For instance, a Company logo.) RGB only > Oki Colour Matching, and the sRGB setting. > PostScript Colour Matching using the Relative Colorimetric option. > Use the Colour Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB swatches and enter your desired RGB values in your application's colour picker.

OKI COLOUR MATCHING This is Oki’s proprietary colour matching system, and affects RGB data only. > Perceptual settings are best for printing photographic images. > Vivid or Digital Camera settings produce the brightest colours. > sRGB is the best choice for matching specific colours (such as printing logos). Monitor (6500k) Perceptual Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a colour temperature of 6500K.
POSTSCRIPT COLOUR MATCHING This uses PostScript Colour Rendering Dictionaries built into the printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data. Rendering Intents When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the document’s colour space to the printer colour space. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this colour conversion takes place.
> Relative Colorimetric Best for printing solid colours and tints, such as company logos etc. Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer. Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into account. CMYK INK SIMULATION Affects CMYK data only. This option simulates how the output will look on a printing press using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan.
SEPARATIONS This option affects output only, allowing you to print all colors or separate plates. Select the option desired. If an application does not have a colour separation feature, you can still print four colour separations (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) with the printer driver. Each colour separation is printed using black toner; the blacker the area, the more of the relevant colour toner will be used in the composite.

BACKGROUND PRINTING Background printing allows you to print documents and continue to use your Mac at the same time. It does this by saving a temporary print file to your hard disk, and then sending it to the printer. This has the advantage of freeing up your computer much more quickly, enabling you to do other things whilst your document is printing. The disadvantage of Background printing is that it is slower, and your computer’s performance may temporarily be affected whilst the print job is processed.
specific colours in applications that allow you to choose your own RGB values. An example of using the Colour Swatch Utility Suppose you wished to print a logo in a particular shade of red. Here are the steps you would follow to accomplish a good colour match using the Colour Swatch utility. 1. Print a colour swatch, taking care to note the printer driver colour settings that you use. 2. Select a shade of red that best suits your needs. 3.
4. Using your application program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB values (from Step 3) and change the logo to that colour. NOTE The RGB colour on your monitor may not necessarily match what was printed on the colour swatch. In this case, don’t worry; you are using the printed colour swatch to pick a colour instead of judging the colour by the way it appears on screen. 5. Print your document using the same driver settings as you originally used (see Step 1).
Once a custom gamma adjustment has been made, the settings can be saved to the printer’s PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, and can be selected from the Printer Driver Colour options. Creating a Gamma Adjustment, Step-by-step Ensure that your Oki printer is selected as default on your Desktop. 1. You can do this by selecting the printer icon, and from the Printing menu select Set Default Printer. 2. Launch the Oki PostScript Utility. 3. From the Utilities menu, select Adjust Printer Gamma….
4. Click the New button. YOUR PRINTER 5. The printer’s gamma can be adjusted globally (all CMYK values together), or each separate primary printer colour can be adjusted individually. The gamma curves plot the input values (%) on the X axis against the output values (%) on the Y axis. The curves can be adjusted by either clicking and dragging the curves with the mouse, or by manually entering values into the text fields.
Tips on Adjusting Colour To adjust the entire image using a particular colour as a reference, manually enter the desired values in the text fields. For example, if you print a red colour composed of the following values: 10% cyan, 90% magenta, 80% yellow and 5% black. You decide that it needs 5% more magenta and 3% less yellow.
NOTE You will not be able to save a gamma adjustment if: > The gamma adjustment has not been named. > Any of the values entered in text boxes are outside the acceptable range (0%-100%). > All of the text boxes are blank; there must be at least 0% and 100% levels entered. Gamma adjustments are stored in the printer’s PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file. Ensure that the correct PPD file for your printer is selected - if not, you may select it manually by clicking the Select… button. 6.
2. From the printer driver’s pop-up menu, choose Printer Colour Options. 3. Under the Custom Gamma Adjustment selection, choose the gamma adjustment you created. YOUR PRINTER MAC OS 9.

Generally, using the default settings will suffice, producing good results for most documents.
COLOUR MATCHING 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. 1. 2. 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.
3. Monitor settings The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours look. NOTE Several of the Printer Driver’s Colour Matching options make reference to your monitor’s Colour Temperature. Many modern monitors allow the colour temperature to be adjusted using the monitor’s control panel.
CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and it’s printed equivalent. There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and reproducible colour. However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good colour output from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending on the type of document you are printing. NOTE These suggestions are for guidance only.
MATCHING SPECIFIC COLOURS (For instance, a Company logo.) RGB only > Oki Colour Matching, and the sRGB setting. > PostScript Colour Matching using the Relative Colorimetric option. > Use the Colour Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB swatches and enter your desired RGB values in your application's colour picker. RGB or CMYK > If you are printing from a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor.
OKI DRIVER OPTIONS This section references only the Oki-specific driver selections. OKI PRINTER FEATURES 1. From within your application, select File→Print. 2. Then open the drop-down menu at left and select Printer Features. Feature Set 1 The tab’s features are explained below. YOUR PRINTER 1.

YOUR PRINTER 2 2. 3 Black Finish This setting determines Black Toner usage only. Auto This option is best for an office environment, with the printer determining which style is better. Matte This option produces a True Black (K only). Gloss This option uses CMY to produce a Composite Black. 3. Oki Colour Match Options These options are available when Oki Colour Matching is selected in “Colour Match Using...”. You can match to a device such as a Monitor or Digital Camera.
Monitor (6500k) Auto The default setting that selects the best options for your printer. This selection works best for office graphics. Monitor (6500k) Perceptual Optimised for printing photographs when using a monitor with a colour temperature of 6500K. This is best for printing photographic images. Monitor (6500k) Vivid Optimised for printing bright colours when using a monitor with a colour temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics and text.
4. Rendering Intent YOUR PRINTER Rendering Intents are only used when “Postscript Colour Matching” is selected. When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the document’s colour space to the printer’s colour space. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this colour conversion takes place. Select the option desired. Absolute Colorimetric Matches colours common to both devices exactly, and clips the “out of gamut” colours to their nearest printed equivalent.
Relative Colorimetric Good for proofing CMYK colour images on a desktop printer. Best for solid colours and tints. Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into account. Saturation Best choice for printing bright and saturated colours if you don’t necessarily care how accurate the colours are. This makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc.
Feature Set 3 The tab’s features are explained below. YOUR PRINTER 1 2 3 1. 4 Ink Simulation Affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer environments only. This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan.

2. From the Duplex screen, select the options desired. (a) For Duplexing (printing on both sides of the sheet), select Print on Both Sides. (b) Select which Binding you prefer. Normally, the first option is the default. PAPER FEED/TYPE SELECT The Paper Feed option allows the selection of different types of paper or trays. The options selected affect only the current document being printed. To access, first select your desired printer from an application using File→Print. 1.
Auto Select If you have identical paper stock loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray or the optional Second Paper Tray, you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. Paper Options When you select a paper-type option, the printer automatically accesses the proper tray. For example, when Labels is selected, the printer will pull from the Multipurpose tray where the labels should be inserted. Tray Options Select the drawer desired for the current print job.
COLOUR 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. Please refer to the documentation for your software application for details on how that particular program’s colour management functions.
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.
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. CHOOSING A COLOUR MATCHING METHOD There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent. There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and reproducible colour. The following guidelines may help in achieving good colour output from your printer.
RGB or CMYK If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space). MATCHING SPECIFIC COLOURS (For instance, a Company logo.) RGB only > Oki Colour Matching, and the sRGB setting (PCL or PS driver).
PCL DRIVER 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. The PCL driver’s colour options are only designed to work with RGB data. If you are printing CMYK data, we recommend you use the PostScript driver. To open colour matching options from the Windows Control Panel: 1.
SETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS 1. On the Colour tab select Manual for Colour Matching. 2. Choose from the available options: (a) Monitor (6500k) Perceptual Optimised for printing daylight photographs. (b) Monitor (6500k) Vivid Optimised for printing bright colours.

OVERLAYS AND MACROS WHAT ARE OVERLAYS AND MACROS? If you would like to print on special stationery, such as forms and letterhead, but do not want to use pre-printed stationery, you can create your own using these advanced features. You can use PostScript overlays to generate all your special stationery and store it in the printer for use whenever you need it. If you have chosen to install the PCL driver, macros perform a similar function. NOTE PostScript overlays are not available for Windows 95/98/Me.
CREATING POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS Three steps are required to create an overlay: 1. Create the form data using your own application software and print it to a printer (.PRN) file. 2. Use the Storage Device Manager utility software supplied on CD with your printer to create a “project file,” import the .PRN file(s), and download the generated filter (.HST) file to the printer.
6. On the Overlay tab, choose Create Form from the drop- 4 down list (4). 7. Click OK to close the Document Properties window. 8. Click OK again to close the Print dialogue. 9. When prompted for a print file name, enter a meaningful name with the extension .PRN. 10. Close your application. CREATE AND DOWNLOAD THE PROJECT 1. From the Windows Start menu, start Storage Device Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer. 2. Choose Printers→New Project. 3.
9. Choose Projects→Save Project and enter a meaningful name (e.g. “Letter Stationery”) so that you can recognise it later if you want to modify it. 10. Choose Projects→Send Project Files to Printer to download the project to the printer. If you have a hard disk in the printer, SDM will automatically download files to it. If not, SDM will download files to flash memory.
4. 5. In the Define Overlays window, enter a suitable name (2) for this overlay and choose which page(s) (3) of your documents will use this overlay. Enter the name of the overlay file (4) exactly as it appeared in the Storage Device Manager project window. Remember that this name is case sensitive.
PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT OVERLAYS Once you have defined your overlays you are ready to use them for any documents you wish. The example illustrated here uses two overlays for business letters. The first prints on just the top page, and the second prints on any or all subsequent pages. 1. Prepare your document in the normal way using your own application software. Remember, if necessary, to format the document so that it will fit within the appropriate space. 2.

REPLACING CONSUMABLE ITEMS This section explains how to replace consumable items when due. As a guide, the life expectancy of these items is: > Toner — 5,000 A4 pages at 5% coverage, which means that 5% of the addressable print area is printed with this colour. Toner life is directly affected by coverage, e.g. at 10% coverage there is sufficient toner for 2,500 pages, conversely at 2.5% there is sufficient toner for 10,000 pages in the cartridge.
TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT 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.
