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 media up to 67 lb. US Bond (250 g/m²). Changing the Display Language ____ The default language used by your printer for display messages and for report printing is English.

Press the OK button on the control panel to enter the menu. 2. Press the Menu down button and scroll to the Shutdown menu. 3. Press the OK button. 4. Press the OK button to continue. 5. Press the OK button to execute. 6. At the prompt, turn the power switch OFF.
Paper Recommendations Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, labels 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 2024 lb. US Bond (75-90 g/m²) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Tray 1 and Optional Tray 2 ________ Media sizes SIZE DIMENSIONS Letter 8.5 x 11 inches Legal 13 8.5 x 13 inches Legal 13.5 8.5 x 13.5 inches Legal 14 8.5 x 14 inches Executive 7.25 x 10.5 inches A5 148 x 210 mm B5 182 x 257 mm A4 210 x 297 mm A61 105 x 148 mm 1. A6 printing from Tray 1 or the MP Tray only Media Weight Settings PAPER TYPE WEIGHT (US BOND) WEIGHT (g/m²) Light 17-19 lb. US Bond 64 - 74 g/m2 Medium Light 20 lb. US Bond 75-82 g/m2 Medium 21-27 lb.
Multi Purpose Tray ______________ The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as trays 1 and 2 but in weights up to 58 lb. US Bond (220 g/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 from 3 inches (76 mm) to 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) and lengths from 5 inches (127 mm) to 52 inches (1320 mm) (banner printing).
Loading Paper Tray 1 and Optional Tray 2 ________ 1. Remove the paper tray from the printer. 2. Fan the paper to be loaded at the edges (1) and in the middle (2) to ensure that all sheets are properly separated, then tap the edges of the stack on a flat surface to make it flush again (3).
3. Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the size of paper being used.
4. Load paper as shown, keeping the stack below the maximum fill line (1). Note Letterhead paper should be loaded face down with the top edge towards the front of the printer.
5. Gently insert the paper tray in the printer. 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. • Close the paper tray gently.
• Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except as described below for the 2nd tray). Notes • 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 you are printing from the 2nd (lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will cause a paper jam. • For face down printing, make sure the face up (rear) stacker (a) is closed (the paper exits from the top of the printer).
CAUTION! Do not open or close the rear paper exit while printing as it may result in a paper jam.
Multi-Purpose Tray________________________ Note Do not exceed the paper capacity of about 100 sheets or 10 envelopes. Maximum stacking depth is 3/8-inch (10 mm).
1. Open the multi purpose tray. 2. Fold out the paper supports.
3. Press gently down on the paper platform to ensure it is latched down. 4. Adjust the paper guides (1) to the size of paper being used.
5. Load the print media keeping the stack below the maximum stack line (1): about 100 sheets or 10 envelopes. Fine tune the guides to the stack. • Letterhead, simplex: For single-sided printing on letterhead paper load the paper into the multi purpose tray with pre-printed side up and top edge into the printer. • Letterhead, duplex: For two-sided (duplex) printing on letterhead paper load the paper with pre-printed side down and top edge away from the printer.
6. Press the tray latch button inwards to release the paper platform, so that the paper is lifted and gripped in place. 7. Set the correct paper size for the multi purpose tray in the Media Menu (see “Menu Functions” on page 28).

Replacing Consumables and Maintenance Items Order Information ______________ Only use genuine Oki Original products to ensure the best quality and performance from your hardware. Non Oki Original products may adversely affect your printer's performance. Item C330 Order No. C530 Order No.
Toner Cartridge Replacement _____ 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. CAUTION! To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not change the toner cartridge(s) until “TONER EMPTY” is displayed.
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. 2. Note the positions of the four cartridges. It is essential that they go back in the same order. 1 2 3 4 1. 2. 3. 4.
(a) Slide the colored release collar (1) on the cartridge to be replaced fully towards the right hand side of the printer. (b) 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.
3. Put the cartridge down gently onto a piece of paper to prevent toner from marking your furniture 4. Clean the top of the ID unit with a clean, lint free cloth. 5. Remove the new cartridge from its box but leave its wrapping material in place for the moment. 6. Gently shake the new cartridge from end to end several times to loosen and distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. 7. Remove the wrapping material.
8. Holding the cartridge by its top center, lower it into the area of the image drum unit from which the old cartridge was removed. 9. Pressing gently down on the cartridge to ensure that it is firmly seated, slide the colored collar (1) fully towards the left hand side of the printer. This will lock the cartridge into place and release toner into the image drum unit.
10. Gently wipe the LED head surface with a clean, lint free cloth. 11. Finally, close the top cover and press down firmly so that the cover latches closed.
Image Drum Replacement. ________ CAUTION! Static sensitive devices, handle with care. 1. 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.
2. Holding it by its handles, lift the image drum assembly, complete with toner cartridges, up and out of the printer. 3.
