PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your MFP 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 24 lb. (75 90g / m^2) paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. A suitable types are

Hammermill® Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US Bond (90 g/m²)
Xerox® 4024, 20 lb. US Bond 20 lb. (75 g/m²)
Oki® 52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US Bond (120 g/m²)

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 MFP. Window envelopes are not suitable.

Oki® Premium Envelopes (size #10) 52206301 (100 count) and 52206302 (500 count)

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki transparencies (Order No. 52205701). In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.

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. Suitable types are:

Avery 5161 White Laser Label (Letter size)
Avery 7162, 7664, 7666 White Laser Labels (size A4).

If you have identical paper stock loaded in the multi purpose tray, you can have the MFP 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.

MULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same media sizes as the cassette trays but in weights of 20 - 54 lb (75g/m² to 203g/m²). For very heavy paper stock, use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the MFP is almost straight.

The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 4.1339 inches (105mm) and lengths up to 47.244 inches (1200mm) (banner printing).

For paper lengths exceeding 14 inches (356mm) (Legal 14in.) use paper stock between 24 lb and 34 lb. (90g / m^2 and 128g / m^2) 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 0.3937 inches (10mm).

Watermarked or headed paper should be loaded print side up and top edge into the MFP.

FACE DOWN STACKER

The face down stacker on the top of the MFP can hold up to 250 sheets of 20 lb (80g / m^2) standard paper and can handle paper stocks up to 32 lb. (120g / m^2) . Pages printed in reading order (page 1 first) will be sorted in reading order (last page on top, facing down).

FACE UP STACKER

The face up stacker at the rear of the MFP 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 20 lb (80g / m^2) standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 54 lb (203g / m^2) .

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than 32 lb. (120g / m^2) .

Note

  1. DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), a host can automatically be given a unique IP address each time it connects to a network-making IP address management an easier task for network administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your network, you do not need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information. Instead, this information will be automatically given for the MFP.
  2. IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies a host connection to an IP network. System administrator or network designer assigns the IP address. The IP address consists of two parts, one identifying the network and the one identifying your node. The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP address.
  3. SMTP: (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the main communication protocol used to send and receive e-mail on the Internet.
  4. DNS: (Domain Name System). The DNS server identifies hosts via names instead of IP addresses. If the DNS server is available on your network, you can enter the domain name instead of digits for your SMTP or POP3 servers, such as Pegasus.com.tw instead of 120.3.2.23.
  5. POP3: POP3 is the latest Post Office Protocol 3, this is a service that stores and serves e-mails for various client machines that are not connected to the Internet 24 hours a day. E-mails are held in POP3 until you log on.

INTERNET COMMUNICATION FEATURES

Scan to e-mail

The MFP allows you to deliver your scanned document to e-mail addresses on the network. The document is first scanned and converted to a standard PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or MTIF (Multi-page TIFF) file format and then transmitted to remote recipients simultaneously as an e-mail attachment.

When you send an e-mail to someone using this MFP it uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to transfer your

outgoing e-mails to your SMTP mail server, and then send these e-mails to your recipients through the internet.

Scan to FTP

Via the intranet with FTP (File Transfer Protocol), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), or CIFS (Common Internet File System). The MFP allows you to save scanned documents directly to a designated server or a personal computer on the network in a standard PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or MTFF file format.

CIFS is the sharing system of Microsoft Windows. What is unique about this filing function is that it allows all corporate users to share one machine to send documents to each file folder on a designated server or individual computer.

The following settings or destinations must be defined by the system administrator before the MFP can be used to distribute any scanned document(s) on the network.

Network and E-mail parameters: Defines the parameters for TCP/IP, SMTP, and POP3 protocols to send your scanned document to e-mail addresses.

Filing destinations: Defines the protocols and destinations to send your scanned document to FTP servers, web, or any personal computers on the network.

For more information on filing protocols refer to "Explanation of filing protocols" on page 61.

Note

  1. If the system administrator has chosen DHCP, then the IP address of TCP/IP, gateway, subnet mask, and DNS server will be automatically given.
  2. When installing the MFP for the first time, it is recommended that the Administrator retain the default system settings. The settings can be customized at a later date, once you are familiar with the operation and functionality.

CONFIGURATION

There are a number of configuration options available which allow you to change the scanner, fax and printer settings to suit your own needs. There are three methods of configuring your MFP:

  1. From the MFP's web page.
  2. From the MFP's Management Utility (please refer to the user's manual of the Network Setup Tool on the CD-ROM supplied).

Toner Save ModeOFF/ONReduces the amount of toner used for imaging. Toner saving gives lighter prints but is more economical.
Mono-Print SpeedAUTO SPEEDIf the first page of a print job is black and white, the MFP runs at 32ppm (pages per minute). When a color page is detected the MFP slows down to 20ppm for the rest of that job.
MONO 32PPMThis setting operates in the same way as AUTO SPEED, except that the MFP runs at 32ppm until a color page is detected. To achieve this speed the MFP requires an additional 10 - 20 seconds to warm up and 30 -60 seconds to cool down when switching to 20ppm for color pages. This setting is therefore most appropriate when the majority of print jobs are entirely black and white.
COLOR SPEEDThe MFP runs at 20ppm for all print jobs. This setting is most appropriate when the majority of print jobs are in color.
MIXED SPEEDThe MFP automatically switches between 20ppm for each color page and 32ppm for each black and white page. When black and white pages are printed, the 3 color drums are automatically lifted to maximize their working life. This operation imposes delay each time the MFP switches between color and black and white printing. However, the 30 -60 second cool down delay described for MONO 32ppm is avoided by limiting mono speed to 20ppm. This setting may be preferred for mostly black and white printing with some color pages, or where most print jobs are entirely color or entirely black and white.

EXPLANATION OF FILING PROTOCOLS

FTP

FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol." It is a common method of transferring files via the Internet from one computer to another. FTP use RFC 959[FTP] as their protocol. Therefore, ensure you have a legal FTP account with the privilege of writing under the directory to save the files and password before using FTP to save documents. To add a sub-directory from the MFP, you need to have the privilege of adding a new directory.

HTTP

HTTP use RFC 2616[HTTP 1.1] as their protocol, and the default Port is usually 80. If you are not using the HTTP port to save files, you must change the MFP HTTP Port to the port for the Web Server.

Generally speaking, a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Web Server will use an anonymous account for authentication, so that the user can link directly to the web page without entering the user name and password first. Therefore, if the HTTP Server does use an anonymous account for authentication when you use this MFP to save files, there is no need for setting any text in the field of Login name and Password for the MFP.

On the other hand, if the HTTP server does not allow an anonymous account for authentication of connection to the web page, the user will be prompted to enter a user name and password first when connecting to the web site. In this mode, the file saving feature is available only when entering the user name and password permitted by the server in the Login name and Password field for the MFP.

Therefore, make sure of the mode that your Web Server allows before using HTTP for file saving. If anonymous access mode is not allowed, you must have a legal HTTP account and password.

Since this MFP will check whether the directory for file saving really exists before proceeding to file saving and writing after scanning to the specified directory, you have to set the directory for files saving as "browse" and allow for writing in the Web Server; otherwise the MFP will not be able to write the file into the directory.

If you wish to use the MFP to save files, in addition to making some settings in Web Server, you will have to confirm that the account has writing privilege for connecting to the Web Server. If not, the MFP will not be able to "write" the scanned file in the file system.

Setting IIS anonymous access:

  1. Start Internet service manager in "Control Panel".
  2. Select Default Web site and right click C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\X cabinet.
  3. Select Properties.
  4. In the X cabinet dialog box, select the Directory security tab, and click Edit for "Anonymous Access and Authentication Control". Make sure "Anonymous Access" is selected in the "Authentication Methods" dialog box.
  5. Click Edit to open "Account for anonymous access".

Note

Make sure that the account stored in your computer system, in the "username" file, has sufficient privilege to access the file system.

Setting IIS privileged access:

  1. As in "Setting IIS anonymous access", start "Internet service manager" and select Default Web site. Right click C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\X cabinet, and select Properties.
  2. Select the Directory tab on the Properties page. Ensure the privileges for "Read", "Write" and "Directory Browsing" are selected.

Note

If the file management system on your server is NTFS, in order to allow IIS to use an anonymous account to access the files in the directory of

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\X cabinet\Files, you have to make sure the anonymous account has the correct privileges. You should make the following settings:

  1. Select C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\X cabinet Files directory in Windows Explorer, and right click to select Properties.
  2. Select the Security tab in the File dialog box, and then Everyone.
  3. Select the privileges for Read and Execute, Folder Properties List, Read and Write.

After that every user has the privilege to manage all files in the directory for saving files.

Note

  1. For security of the scanned files, "Everyone" should not be allowed to have full privileges of the file directory. Therefore, when setting the access privilege for your file system, it is recommended that you set the privilege of the directory for saving files to IIS anonymous account, or users and groups that can use that directory only.
  2. Please note that HTTP cannot add a server sub-directory from this MFP.

When using Apache as HTTP server, according to their documentation, it must have SCRIPT to run the HTTP PUT method. Although the document is attached with a Perl example, you will need to modify it before applying it, since this MFP uses Transfer-encoding of Chunked. In addition, the Apache will have to be set to accept this MFP. For more information refer to the relevant Apache documentation.

CIFS

CIFS (Windows Network Share) is a file saving protocol generally used for "resource sharing" of a network in Microsoft Windows systems. Set up the "shared directory" as per the network settings for sharing in MS Windows. Under the User level mode of Windows 2000, use the account and password with the privilege of "write" as the login name and Password for the MFP folder.

Your MFP'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.

PCL OR POSTSCRIPT?

Three printer drivers are supplied with your MFP: one for PCL5c emulation, one for PCL6 emulation, and the other for PostScript 3 emulation. If you print mainly from general "Office" applications choose one of the PCL drivers. For faster printing of PDF documents, choose PostScript. If you print mainly from professional DTP and graphics applications, choose PostScript.

PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

When you choose to print your document from a Windows application program a print dialog box appears. This dialog usually specifies the name of the machine 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.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - PRINTING PREFERENCES IN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS - 1

The window which opens when you click Properties depends on which printer driver has been installed. The PostScript driver offers different choices to the PCL driver.

POSTSCRIPT EMULATION

  1. Page orientation sets portrait (tall) or landscape (wide) page orientation. The "rotated" rotates the 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.

PCL EMULATION

When you click the Properties button from your application's Print dialog, the driver window opens to allow you to specify your printing preferences for this document.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - PCL EMULATION - 1

  1. 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 MFP. 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

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - PCL EMULATION - 2

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.

  1. The setting for paper weight should match the type of paper on which you intend to print.
  2. 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 MFP.

Poster printing will print large pages as tiles spread over multiple sheets.

  1. 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 MFP.
  2. 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.
  3. A single on-screen button restores the default settings.

STORE TO HARD DISK/JOB SPOOLING

The Hard Disk is an option.

This feature allows print jobs to be created on the PC and stored on the MFP's hard disk for printing on demand. This is good for forms, generic memos, letterhead, stationery, etc.

If you use this feature for standard forms, for example, you can walk up to the MFP at any time and print off your forms without having to re-send them from the PC.

The document is not automatically deleted from the MFP's hard disk after printing. It remains there for future use until you delete it from the printer control panel or from your PC with the Storage Device Manager utility.

Note

If this choice does not appear in the driver screens, or if it is grayed out, check to ensure that the hard disk is enabled in the printer driver. (See "Adjusting windows printer drivers" on page 147.)

There are three parts in job spooling:

  1. Sending the document. See "Sending the document" on page 76.
  2. Printing the document. See "Printing the document" on page 78.
  3. Deleting a stored document. See "Deleting a stored document" on page 79.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CLEARING PAPER JAMS

Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on use of print media, and you keep the media in good condition prior to use, your MFP 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 MFP. When a jam occurs, the printer immediately stops, and the Alert LED on the status panel 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.

JAMS IN THE ADF

In the event of a paper jam, follow the procedures below to remove the paper:

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - JAMS IN THE ADF - 1

  1. If a sheet is well advanced out of the ADF, simply grip it and pull gently to draw it fully out.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - JAMS IN THE ADF - 2

Note

If it does not remove easily, do not use excessive force.

  1. Gently open the ADF front cover to the left.
  2. Carefully pull the paper out of the ADF unit.
  3. Close the ADF front cover.

JAMS IN THE PRINTER

  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. Raise the scanner gently.

  3. Yellow cartridge

  4. Black cartridge

It will be necessary to remove the four image drums to gain access to the paper path.

  1. Holding it by its top center, lift the cyan image drum, complete with its toner cartridge, up and out of the printer.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - WARNING! - 2

  1. Put the cartridge 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.

  1. Repeat this removal procedure for each of the remaining image drum units.

  2. Look into the MFP to check whether any sheets of paper are visible on any part of the belt unit.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - CAUTION! - 1

(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.

CAUTION!

Do not use any sharp or abrasive objects to separate sheets from the belt. This may damage the belt surface.

(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.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - CAUTION! - 1

(c) To remove a sheet just entering the fuser (3), separate the trailing edge of the sheet from the belt, push the fuser pressure release lever (4) towards the front and down to release the fuser's grip on the sheet, and withdraw the sheet through the drum cavity area. Then allow the pressure release lever to rise again.

Note

If the sheet is well advanced into the fuser (only a short length is still visible), do not attempt to pull it back. Follow the next step to remove it from the rear of the MFP.

  1. Starting with the cyan image drum unit nearest the fuser, replace the four image drums into the drum cavity, making sure to locate them in the correct order.

  1. Check inside the cover for sheets in this area and remove any that you find, then close the cover.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Note - 7

  1. Pull out the paper tray 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.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Note - 8

  1. Close the top cover and press down firmly at both sides so that the cover latches closed.
  2. Gently lower the scanner.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Note - 9

When the jam has been cleared, if Jam Recovery is set to ON in the System Configuration Menu, the MFP will attempt to reprint any pages lost due to paper jams.

FAX PROBLEM CHECKLIST

If a problem occurs, read through the list of problems and solutions before calling for service.

THE MFP WILL NOT DIAL A TELEPHONE NUMBER

Check the power cable and wall outlet. Make sure that the telephone line (not external telephone or handset) is connected to the LINE socket on the back of the machine. If an external telephone is installed, lift the handset and check for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, there may be a problem with the telephone line. If there is a dial tone, the MFP may be using the wrong dialling method (pulse or tone) for the region. If alternating tones are heard instead of dialling pulses and the region uses pulse dialling, change the call parameters (See "Initial set up" on page 64.).

THE DISPLAY SHOWS A COMMUNICATIONS ERROR

This indicates any of a number of problems:

The MFP may be incompatible with the remote machine, or the remote machine may not be able to perform the function requested of it such as polling or confidential faxing.
The remote machine may also be out of paper or experiencing a paper jam.

Bad telephone line conditions can also cause communication errors. Try sending the fax again and check to make sure that the correct telephone number is being dialled.
If a prefix number must be dialled to get an outside line, or if the call is to an international destination, a pause may need to be entered (use the Pause key) after the dial prefix or international dialling code to tell the machine to wait for a dial tone. If there are frequent problems communicating with a particular remote machine, try programming the telephone number into a speed dial key,

and then change the parameters for that key (See "Advanced set up" on page 65.).

Lastly, either the local or remote machine may require servicing. Try sending a fax to another location to check the local MFP.

FAXING IS POSSIBLE BUT THE IMAGE OF THE DOCUMENT PRINTED BY THE REMOTE MACHINE IS VERY POOR.

If the faxed document has small type, complex illustrations, photos, or is very light or very dark, try changing the fax quality and density settings (See "Advanced operation" on page 95.). Copy the document on the machine to determine how it will transmit. The problem may be caused by telephone line interference. Try sending the document again later.

FAX SENT BUT RECEIVEDMESSAGE WAS COMPLETELY BLANK

Make sure that the document is loaded correctly before faxing; with text face UP in the ADF or face DOWN on the glass.

IMAGE OF RECEIVED FAX IS VERY POOR

Try making a copy of a document on the local machine to make sure it is working properly. If there is still a problem, contact the person sending the fax and ask them to change their fax quality and density settings. Ask the person to make a copy of the document on their machine to ensure that it is working properly. Then ask them to send the fax again.

DIALING WAS TRIED WITH A SPEED DIAL NUMBER BUT NOTHING HAPPENED

Make sure that the Speed Dial number being used is programmed correctly.

LOCAL MFP WILL NOT ANSWER THE TELEPHONE OR RECEIVE FAXES

First check to see that the power cord is connected properly. Also check the reception mode setting of the machine. This MFP will not receive faxes automatically if the manual receive mode is enabled (See "Manual receive" on page 70.).

DOCUMENTS RECEIVED ARE LIGHT OR HAVE VERTICAL STREAKS ON THEM, AND MFP IS NOT OUT OF TONER

Gently wipe the lens surface of the MFP's LED array, and then check to see if the machine is working properly (See "Clean the LED head" on page 136.). If the MFP still does not work properly, remove the image drum (See "Image drum replacement" on page 121.), tap the toner cartridge, and slowly swing it 20 to 30 degrees vertically several times. Be careful not to let the toner leak from the cartridge. If this does not work, the image drum unit may need to be replaced. Contact your supplier to get a replacement.

MFP IS SET FOR DELAYED TRANSMISSION BUT IT DID NOT SEND

Check the display to make sure that the MFP is set to the correct time and date (See "Initial set up" on page 64.).

MFP WILL NOT POLL A REMOTE MACHINE

Call the person at the remote machine and make sure that they have loaded documents and that their machine is set to polling transmission mode.

MFP IS CONNECTED TO A PBX BUT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DIAL OUT

Be certain that the dial prefix is entered before the telephone number for each number dialled or programmed into the MFP (See "Connecting to a PBX" on page 68.).

MFP ALWAYS ANSWERS BEFORE ITS POSSIBLE TO USE THE EXTERNAL TELEPHONE

If an external telephone is connected, change the MFP's ring response setting (See "Advanced set up" on page 65.).

FAXES RECEIVED SOMETIMES LOOK DISTORTED

If the document received is wider or longer than the paper loaded in the paper tray, the machine automatically reduces the width or length of the document so that it will fit on the paper. This type of problem could also be communication related.

A GUIDE TO PRINTING

This Chapter provides a convenient on-screen reference to the many features of the driver software supplied with your MFP.

HOW TO ACCESS THE DRIVER SCREENS

Most of the features described are accessed via the printer driver screens. How you access them depends on your computer and its operating system.

The driver windows are tabbed dialog boxes, offering a wide range choices about how you want to print your documents.

There are two ways to access the driver features from within Windows:

  1. Directly from the Windows "Printers" folder ("Printers and Faxes" folder in Windows XP).

If you choose this method any changes you make will become the driver defaults. This means they will remain active for all your applications unless you specifically change them from within the application's Print dialog.

  1. From your application's Print dialog.

If you choose this method any changes you make will usually only last for as long as the particular application is running, or until you change them again. In most cases, once you quit the application the driver defaults will return.

Notes

  1. Settings made from the MFP's own control panel are the printer defaults. They determine how your MFP will behave unless you specify otherwise from your computer.
  2. The driver defaults override the MFP defaults.
  3. Application Print settings override both the MFP defaults and the driver defaults.

CHANGING THE DRIVER DEFAULTS

WINDOWS

  1. Click [Start] [Printers and Faxes] to open the Printers and Faxes window.
  2. In the Printers and Faxes window, right-click on the appropriate printer driver icon, and choose [Printing Preferences] from the context menu.

CHANGING THE APPLICATION'S DRIVER SETTINGS

  1. In your application, open the file you want to print.
  2. On the [File] menu, choose [Print...].
  3. In the application's Print dialog, make sure the machine shown is the appropriate one, and click [Properties].

PCL SAVED DRIVER SETTINGS

This feature, unique to the Windows PCL drivers, allows you to save the printer driver settings and reuse them later. This could be useful if you frequently print many different types of document that require different printer driver settings.

Recalling saved settings in the PCL drivers is a simple task that must be done first, before any job-specific changes are made. Rather than repeat the procedure throughout this manual, it is described here.

SAVING A SET OF DRIVER SETTINGS

  1. Make any changes to the driver settings you want, as described in the relevant section of this manual.

  2. In the driver's [Setup] tab, click [Save...].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - SAVING A SET OF DRIVER SETTINGS - 1

  1. Enter a meaningful name for the settings you are saving, and click [OK].

RECALLING SAVED DRIVER SETTINGS

  1. In the driver's [Setup] tab, choose any previously saved [driver settings] you need.
  2. Proceed to make any other adjustments for this job, as described in the relevant section in this manual.

SETTING THE DRIVER DEVICE OPTIONS

This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can utilize all of the hardware features installed in your MFP.

Accessories such as hard disk, duplex unit (two sided printing), additional paper trays, etc., will only be usable if the printer driver on your computer knows they are there.

In some cases the hardware configuration of your MFP is automatically detected when the driver is installed. However, it is advisable to at least check whether all of the available hardware features are listed in the driver.

This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra hardware features to your MFP after the drivers have been installed and set up.

  1. Access the driver's [Properties] window. (See "Changing the driver defaults" on page 183.)
  2. Select the [Device Options] tab.

In the Windows XP PostScript driver the tab may be called "Device Settings".

  1. Set the options for any devices you have installed, including the correct number of paper trays, high capacity feeder, duplex unit, etc.
  2. Click [OK] to close the window and save your changes.

BLACKS AND GRAYS (BLACK OVERPRINT)

Black overprint eliminates the white edge between the printed fonts and the colored background.

Black overprint can only be used when printing 100 percent black text over a background color.

Black Overprint may not be available with some software applications.

NoteS

  1. The Black Overprint feature is not included in the Windows PCL 6 driver.
  2. When the background color is very dark, the toner may not fuse correctly. Change the background to a lighter color.

1. On the [Job Options] tab, click [Advanced].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - On the [Job Options] tab, click [Advanced]. - 1

2. Check [Black Overprint].

BLACK PRINTING (BLACK GENERATION)

To use Black Generation, Office Color or Graphic Pro must be the selected Print Mode.

Your MFP prints the color black in one of two ways: Composite Black or True Black.

COMPOSITE BLACK

The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners are combined to create composite black.

This will sometimes give a glossier finish, due to the increased amount of toner. It can also sometimes appear as a slightly brownish black.

Use composite black when printing photographs.

TRUE (PURE) BLACK

Only black toner is used to print true black.

Use True Black when printing a combination of text and graphics. If you use True Black to print photographs, dark sections of the photos may appear black.

Office Color

  1. On the driver's [Color] tab, select [Office Color] (1) and click the [Options] button.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Office Color - 1

  1. On [Black Finish] (2), make your selection: [Auto] (allow printer to choose the best method depending on page content), [True Black] or [Composite Black].

Graphic pro

  1. On the driver's [Color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] (1) and click the [Options] button.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Graphic pro - 1

  1. From the [Black Finish] menu (2), choose your preferred setting.

FINE LINES ENHANCEMENT

This feature can be used to emphasize the pen width of very fine lines (minimum line width).

With some software applications, if this feature is turned ON, the spaces in bar codes may become too narrow. If this happens, turn [Adjust Ultra Fine Lines] OFF.

  1. In the driver's [Job Options] tab, click [Advanced].

  2. Click the checkbox to turn on [Adjust Ultra Fine Lines]. If the option is turned on, a check mark appears in the box.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - FINE LINES ENHANCEMENT - 1

GRAYSCALE PRINTING

If you select Grayscale, the MFP converts all colors into shades of gray, and prints using only black toner.

Use Grayscale to speed up printing of proof copies or when you do not need to print a color document in color.

  1. If using the PCL driver, in the driver's [Setup] tab, choose any previously saved [driver settings] you need. See "Recalling saved driver settings" on page 184

  2. On the driver's [Color] tab, click [Grayscale], then click [Options].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - GRAYSCALE PRINTING - 1

  1. If using the PS driver, on the [Color] tab, click [Grayscale], and then click [Advanced] if you want to adjust brightness and contrast.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - GRAYSCALE PRINTING - 2

Some applications will attempt to set the halftone screen information for the MFP. If the option to [use printer halftones] is left at ON, the MFP will set its own halftone

screen value, giving a smoother result. It is recommended to leave this option on.

[Optimized grayscale halftones] may take slightly longer to print but will give best quality.

COLOR MATCHING

BASICS

There are three methods by which your document's color can be managed and adjusted:

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - BASICS - 1

  1. Application Color Management (1).

Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Quark Xpress have their own built-in color management systems. See "Printer driver settings for ICC profile creation or no color matching" on page 210.

Most applications do not have these color management features and rely instead on the MFP or operating system.

  1. Operating System Color Management (2).

3. Printer Color Management (3).

When you print your document and modify settings in the printer driver, the MFP performs color adjustments.

Notes

  1. Only use one color management system if you want the best results from your MFP.
  2. If you wish to use your MFP's color management system, ensure that your application or operating system color management is switched off.
  3. Applying color management in multiple places will give unpredictable results.

WHAT THIS GUIDE DESCRIBES

This Chapter only discusses the printer color management system.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - WHAT THIS GUIDE DESCRIBES - 1

If you wish to learn more about your application program or operating system color management, please see the documentation that was supplied with your application software or computer.

PRINTER COLOR MANAGEMENT

Your printer has two separate color management systems - Office Color and Graphic Pro.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - PRINTER COLOR MANAGEMENT - 1

Office Color (3a) - "Office color" on page 195
This is a simpler color management system designed for ease of use. Office Color is recommended for users who are not experts in color but want good results when printing from programs such as Microsoft Office.
Graphic Pro (3b) - "Graphic pro" on page 197

This is a powerful color management system based on ICC color profiles.

Profiles can be down loaded to the MFP hard disk using a special utility, and then color matching can be applied to all incoming print jobs.

The Graphic Pro color management system is recommended for users who are already familiar with ICC profile-based color matching and require more control over color.

ABOUT RGB AND CMYK COLOR

Some application programs give you the choice to create and edit documents using either RGB color or CMYK color. Typically, only professional graphics and desktop publishing software support CMYK color. Most application programs only support RGB color, for example Microsoft Office programs or web browsers.

If your application program does not give you the choice of RGB or CMYK color, you should assume that it only supports RGB.

The RGB color model is based on the three primary colors of light; Red, Green and Blue. This model is used by scanners, digital cameras and computer monitors.

The CMYK color model is based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black printer inks or toners.

ABOUT THE PRINTER DRIVERS

Depending on your operating system, you may have the choice of different drivers to use with your MFP. You may wish to select a printer driver based on whether it supports CMYK data.

SUPPORT FOR RGB DATASUPPORT FOR CMYK DATA
PCL 5c driver×
PCL 6 driver×
PostScript driver

OFFICE COLOR

This section describes the features in the printer driver for "Office Color" printer color management.

There are two different sets of options in Office Color:

RGB OPTIONSCMYK OPTIONS (POSTSCRIPT ONLY)
Monitor (6500K) - AutoSWOP
Monitor (6500K) - PerceptualEuroscale
Monitor (6500K) - VividJapan
Monitor (9300K)
Digital Camera
sRGB

Note

The options for CMYK data are not present in the Windows PCL 5c or PCL 6 printer drivers. These printer drivers only support RGB color data.

Although the Office Color options contain controls for CMYK data, it is strongly recommended that you use the Graphic Pro options instead. If you are printing CMYK data, the Graphic Pro options provide more power and flexibility.

OFFICE COLOR - RGB OPTIONS

Office Color provides a collection of several different color matching presets for RGB data.

These presets each change the color of your print in a slightly different way.

These RGB color matching options are available in all printer drivers.

PRESETEXPLANATION
Monitor (6500K) - AutoThe best color match preset will be selected based on the type of document. 6500K - Perceptual will be selected if printing photographs. 6500K - Vivid will be selected if printing graphics and text.
Monitor (6500K) - PerceptualOptimized for printing photographs. Colors are printed with emphasis on saturation.
Monitor (6500K) - VividOptimized for printing photographs and for office graphics. The MFP uses even more saturation than the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting.
Monitor (9300K)Colors are printed with emphasis on Lightness. Use this setting if you are having problems achieving the correct color when printing from Microsoft Office applications.
Digital CameraOptimized for printing photos taken with a digital camera. Your results will vary depending on the subject and the conditions under which the photograph was taken.
sRGBThe MFP will try to reproduce the sRGB color space. This may be useful if color matching from an sRGB input device such as a scanner or digital camera.

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

  1. On the printer driver [Color] tab, select [Office Color] (1) and click the [Options] button.

2. Select a preset from [Color matching options] (2).

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Select a preset from [Color matching options] (2). - 1

CUSTOMISING RGB OFFICE COLOR WITH THE COLOR CORRECT UTILITY

If the Office Color presets are not sufficient for your needs, the Color Correct utility provides a means of further adjustment. The Color Correct utility provides two methods for adjusting the Office Color settings:

  1. You can adjust the overall appearance of the print by modifying Hue, Saturation and Gamma.
  2. You can adjust the specific palette colors used in Microsoft Office applications. These adjustments only affect one specific palette color at a time.

GRAPHIC PRO

This section describes the color matching options available for Graphic Pro.

The Graphic Pro color matching system is based around ICC profiles. These profiles are down loaded to the MFP using the Profile Assistant utility and then selected in the printer driver. When a job is sent to the MFP, the ICC profiles are applied to the print job on the MFP.

NotEs

  1. Some features of Graphic Pro color matching can only be used if your MFP is fitted with a hard disk. The MFP hard disk is required if you wish to download and use your own ICC profiles to the MFP.
  2. The MFP's internal hard disk is an optional accessory.
  3. If your MFP does not have a hard disk fitted, you will only be able to select the factory default profiles that are built-in to the MFP.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH GRAPHIC PRO COLOR MATCHING?

The Graphic Pro color matching system is both powerful and flexible. Here are some examples of how the Graphic Pro color matching system can be used:

Matching mfp color to an RGB input device

By using the ICC profiles of a scanner, digital camera or monitor, the MFP's color can be matched to the input device.

Printer simulation

Your MFP can be used to simulate the color output of another printer, even when printing RGB documents. For best results, use CMYK documents when simulating the color output of other printers.

CMYK ink simulation

Your MFP can be used to simulate the color output of a commercial printing press (SWOP, Euroscale or Japan Color inks).

More accurate mfp color

If you have created your own profiles with third-party ICC profile creation software, these can be downloaded to the MFP and used when printing.

TYPES OF ICC PROFILE SUPPORTED

There are four classes of ICC profile supported by the Graphic Pro color matching system:

PROFILE TYPESDESCRIPTION
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 colors 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 MFP for commercial printing press inks such as SWOP or Euroscale.
Printer (CMYK Output)This profile describes the color characteristics of your own MFP.The MFP already has factory default profiles built-in, but you can replace these profiles with your own if required.
Link ProfileThis 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 MFP.

There are three steps to using the Graphic Pro color matching system:

  1. Gather or create ICC profiles (see below)
  2. Download ICC profiles to the MFP hard disk (page 200)
  3. Select the ICC profiles in the printer driver when printing (page 201)

STEP 1 - GATHER OR CREATE THE ICC PROFILES

Where can I get the profiles I need?

PROFILE TYPEWHERE 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 MFP are built-in. If you need greater accuracy, you should create your own MFP profile using third-party ICC profile creation software.
Link ProfileYou can create Link profiles using third-party ICC profile creation software. Note that not all ICC profile creation software can create Link profiles.

STEP 2 - DOWN LOADING ICC PROFILES TO THE HARD DISK

The internal hard disk must be installed in the printer.

You can download profiles to the MFP hard disk using the Profile Assistant utility.

  1. Launch Profile Assistant
  2. Select an MFP

If this is the first time you have used Profile Assistant, you should allow the utility to search for compatible machines.

Select the connection type "Network (TCP/IP)", and click Start to begin searching.

If you know the MFP's IP address, you can enter it manually.

  1. The main screen of Profile Assistant displays the profiles resident on the selected MFP's hard disk. To download a new profile to the MFP:

(a) Click Add.
(b) Select an ICC profile from your computer's hard disk.
(c) Once you have selected a profile, you can add it to the MFP 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.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - STEP 2 - DOWN LOADING ICC PROFILES TO THE HARD DISK - 1

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

STEP 3 - SELECT ICC PROFILES IN THE PRINTER DRIVER

What you select in the printer driver depends on the color matching task that you wish to perform.

Examples of selecting ICC profiles for different color matching tasks are shown in the next sections of this guide.

MATCHING THE COLOR OF A MONITOR, SCANNER OR CAMERA

The Graphic Pro color matching system can be used to match the printer color to an RGB input device such as a monitor, scanner or digital camera.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - MATCHING THE COLOR OF A MONITOR, SCANNER OR CAMERA - 1

  1. RGB data

  2. Printed document

  3. RGB source profile

  4. Scanner, monitor, camera, etc.

  5. Printer output profile

  6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile.

To match an RGB input device, first download the RGB source profile and printer profile (optional) to the MFP hard disk using Profile Assistant. See "Step 2 - Down loading ICC profiles to the hard disk" on page 200.

Once the profile(s) have been down loaded, make the appropriate selections in the printer driver, as described below.

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

To match the color 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 [Color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] (1) and click [Options].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - MATCHING THE COLOR OF A MONITOR, SCANNER OR CAMERA - 2

  1. Select [ICC Profile Color Matching] (2).
  2. 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 Source 2" and so on relate to the number assigned to the profile using Profile Assistant. See "Step 2 - Down loading ICC profiles to the hard disk" on page 200.

  1. Select a Printer Output Profile (4).

If [Auto] is selected, the factory default profiles that are embedded in the MFP will be used. If you have created a

MFP profile yourself using profile creation software, select it here.

Note

If you have selected your own output profile (4), you will also be able to adjust the rendering intent. See "Rendering intents" on page 209.

SIMULATING ANOTHER PRINTER - RGB SOURCE DATA

The Graphic Pro color matching system can be used to simulate the color output of another printer.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - SIMULATING ANOTHER PRINTER - RGB SOURCE DATA - 1

  1. RGB data

  2. Printed document

  3. RGB source profile

  4. Scanner, monitor, camera, etc.

  5. Printer output profile

  6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile.

Notes

  1. Be aware that if the device you are trying to simulate has different color capabilities from your own MFP, exact color simulation will not be possible. For example, it may be difficult to reproduce the exact colors of an ink jet printer on a toner-based printer.
  2. Additionally, differences in the range of printable colors between different devices can make simulation using RGB source data inaccurate. To achieve best results when simulating the color output of other printers, you are strongly advised to use CMYK data as a source. See "CMYK ink simulations - CMYK source data" on page 206.

To simulate the output of another printer, you need to download at least 2 profiles to your MFP using Profile Assistant:

RGB Source Profile

Simulation Target Profile
Printer Output Profile (optional)

Once the profile(s) have been down loaded, make the appropriate selections in the printer driver, as described below.

If you are using a source RGB document, simulate the output of another printer by making the following selections in the printer driver:

  1. On the printer driver [Color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] (1) and click [Options].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Notes - 1

  1. Select [Printer Simulation] (2).

  2. Select the ICC profile that corresponds to the device used to capture or display your source document - this could be a monitor, scanner or digital camera (3).

  3. Remember that the names "RGB Source 1", "RGB Source 2" and so on relate to the number assigned to the profile using Profile Assistant. See "Step 2 - Down loading ICC profiles to the hard disk" on page 200.
  4. Select a Simulation Target Profile (4).
  5. This profile corresponds to the printer you want to simulate.
  6. If you wish to produce black and gray colors that are printed using only black toner, enable the [Preserve Black] option. Although this produces a better quality print, the black and gray colors will not be simulated accurately.
  7. Select your output profile (5).
  8. If [Auto] is selected, the factory default profiles that are embedded in the MFP will be used. If you have created a profile yourself using profile creation software, select it here and choose a rendering intent. See "Rendering intents" on page 209.

CMYK INK SIMULATIONS - CMYK SOURCE DATA

The ICC-based color matching system can be used to simulate the output on commercial printing presses.

You can select from the ink types most commonly used in different regions of the world:

Euroscale - Europe
Swop - North America
Toyo-Japan

To print CMYK Ink Simulations, you must use PostScript printer driver supplied.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - CMYK INK SIMULATIONS - CMYK SOURCE DATA - 1

  1. CMYK data

  2. Printed document

  3. CMYK input profile

  4. CMYK device you wish to simulate (e.g. SWOP press)

  5. Printer output profile

  6. Leave on Auto or select your custom profile

Although it is possible to perform CMYK ink simulations using the Office Color options in the printer driver, we recommend that you use the Graphic Pro color matching system to perform CMYK ink simulations, as this provides additional controls, such as using the "Preserve Black" feature, or specifying an alternative printer output profile.

Note

This information applies to the Windows PostScript driver only.

If you are using a source CMYK document, use the following printer driver settings to perform a CMYK Ink Simulation:

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Note - 1

  1. On the printer driver [Color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] (1) and click [Options].
  2. Select [ICC Profile Color Matching] (2).
  3. Select the [CMYK Input profile] (3) that corresponds to the device you are trying to match such as a SWOP or Euroscale Press. If you have another CMYK Ink profile that you wish to use, select it here as the appropriate "CMYK Source x" profile.

Remember that the names "CMYK Source 1", "CMYK Source 2" and so on relate to the number assigned to the profile using Profile Assistant. See "Step 2 - Down loading ICC profiles to the hard disk" on page 200.

Use the [Preserve Black] option to keep the original gray component (K channel) information. If [Preserve Black] is disabled, the gray components may be printed using a mixture of CMYK toner, instead of just K (black) toner.

  1. Select a Printer Output Profile (4).

If [Auto] is selected, the factory default profiles that are embedded in the MFP will be used. If you have created a profile yourself using profile creation software, select it here.

If you have selected a profile other than [Auto], select the [Rendering Intent] (5). (See "Rendering intents" on page 209.)

RENDERING INTENTS

When selecting the Printer Output Profile, if you select any other profile apart from [Auto], you can select the Rendering Intent. The rendering intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how colors that fall outside of the printable colors are treated.

Select the rendering intent that best suits the document you are printing.

PERCEPTUAL

This option is recommended for printing photographs.

Typically, perceptual rendering desaturates all the colors when printing. This brings unprintable colors into the printer's range, while keeping the relationships between the colors the same.

SATURATION

This option is recommended for printing business graphics if you want vivid colors. This will not necessarily produce accurate color, as the emphasis is on maintaining saturation.

RELATIVE COLORIMETRIC

This option is best for printing solid colors and tints. Use Relative Colorimetric when printing from a drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand.

ABSOLUTE COLORIMETRIC

This option is recommended if you are proofing images on your MFP that are intended for final output on a printing press. This may result in a visible color cast on your print as it will also try to simulate the paper white of the target device.

When your document is printed, often the pure black colors will not be printed using 100% black toner. Instead, these pure black colors are sometimes converted and printed using a mixture of CMYK toner.

Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100% black text or graphics in your document is printed using pure black toner.

This means that the following colors in your documents will be printed using only 100% black toner:

RGBRed = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0

CMYKCyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%, Black = 100%

COLOR MATCH PRECISION

When the MFP performs color matching, it must do many calculations to convert between different color formats (RGB, CMYK, etc.). These calculations can take time to process.

The [Color Match Precision] option allows you to choose between higher quality color matching (more time consuming) or faster but less accurate color matching.

PRINTER DRIVER SETTINGS FOR ICC PROFILE CREATION OR NO COLOR MATCHING

If you are creating ICC profiles using third-party software, select [Disable Color Matching for ICC Profile Creation]. This option switches off all printer color management and also prevents the MFP from restricting toner layer thickness.

If you are using your application color matching, select [Use Application Color Matching]. This option switches off all printer color management.

  1. On the PCL printer driver [Color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] (1) and click [Options].
  2. Select [Disable Color Matching for Profile Creation] (2) if you are creating an ICC profile using third-party profile creation software. Select [Use Application Color Matching] (3) if you wish to switch off all printer color management and use your application's color matching.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - PRINTER DRIVER SETTINGS FOR ICC PROFILE CREATION OR NO COLOR MATCHING - 1

FINISHING OPTIONS

Your MFP offers a wide selection of document finishing options that help you to control the final form of your printed document.

Depending on the hardware fitted, either as optional upgrades or included as standard and on which model you have, your system can offer a number of choices.

For detailed information on these options see:

"Booklet printing (imposition)" on page 212
"Collating" on page 216
"Color separation" on page 218
"Separating queued print jobs" on page 219

"Cover print" on page 220
"Custom page size" on page 221
"Duplex (double-sided) printing" on page 225
“Printing multiple pages on one sheet (N-up)” on page 227
"Poster printing" on page 229
"Scale to page" on page 230
"Watermarks" on page 231

BOOKLET PRINTING (IMPOSITION)

Booklet printing in the Windows drivers printing allows printing of multi-page documents with their pages ordered and arranged so that final printed output can be folded into a booklet. Typically, A4/Legal pages would be reduced to A5/Letter and printed side by side on both sides of A4/Letter paper, so that the paper can be folded into a booklet.

Since this feature prints on both sides of the page, it requires a duplex unit to be installed in the MFP, and additional memory.

NoteS

  1. To find out how much memory currently installed, print out a menu map from the control panel.
  2. A few applications do not support booklet printing, but most do.

When using the PostScript driver, if you plan to print a long document, more than about 16 pages, consider printing it in sections of 8 or 16 at a time. This is called the "signature," and will avoid having too thick a stack of paper to fold to make your booklet. Your document will then be printed in a series of booklets which can be stacked one above the other. This is usually a neater arrangement.

The above considerations do not matter when using the PCL driver as the signature can be set within the driver, and a long document can be printed directly as a series of booklets.

Note that the number of pages in a booklet is always a multiple of four, since two pages are printed on each side of each sheet of paper. If your document is not a multiple of four pages long, the last one, two or three pages in your folded booklet will be blank.

Windows PostScript

  1. In the driver's [Layout] tab, choose [Booklet] from the [Pages Per Sheet] drop-down list.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Windows PostScript - 1

  1. Check that the duplex option is set to [Flip on Short Edge].

Note

If the Booklet choice is not shown, check that the Duplex option is enabled in the driver. ("Setting the driver device options" on page 184)

Windows PCL

  1. In the driver's [Setup] tab, recall any saved [driver settings] you may wish to use.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Windows PCL - 1

  1. Choose [Booklet] from the [Finishing Mode] drop-down list, then click [Options].
  2. In the Options window you can set the [signature] size, the number of [pages] per side of paper and the [binding margin] if your document is going to be thick. The graphic in this window shows the effect of each choice you make.

Note

If the Booklet choice is not shown, check that the Duplex option is enabled in the driver. (See "Setting the driver device options" on page 184.)

COLLATING

This feature allows multiple copies of a multi-page document to be printed with the pages of each copy in sequence.

Uncollated pages print like this

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 1

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 2

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 3

Collated pages print like this

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 4

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 5

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 6

Application collate—Some application programs have a collate feature in their print options. In this case the application performs the document collation and may send the job multiple times to the MFP. Generally, this method is slower but can be more reliable.

Printer collate—This section describes the collate function built into the printer driver. In this case the job is stored temporarily in MFP memory or on the MFP's hard disk (if installed), and the MFP performs collation. This method is normally faster, but may not work from all applications.

If you experience problems using MFP collate, use the collate option in your application's print options instead.

  1. If using the PCL driver, on the [Setup] tab first choose any saved [driver settings] that you wish to use. See "Recalling saved driver settings" on page 184.
  2. In the [Job Options] tab, choose how many [copies] you want to print from the scrolling list.
  3. Click the [Collate] checkbox.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLLATING - 7

COLOR SEPARATION

The color separation feature prints each of four primary colors as separate grayscale images. This is a proofing facility that indicates the relative densities of each of the four toner colors in your print document. The darker an area appears, the more of the corresponding toner color will be used when printing in full color.

  1. In the PostScript driver's [Color] tab, click [Advanced].
  2. Select which [separations] you want to print from the drop-down list.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COLOR SEPARATION - 1

SEPARATING QUEUED PRINT JOBS

When you share an MFP with other users it can be useful to print a special page between print jobs to help locate each user's job in a paper stack at the MFP. In Windows this page is called a "separator page".

The separator page is set from the printer driver's default properties window. Access to this is directly from Windows, not from within your application program. See "Changing the driver defaults" on page 183.

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - SEPARATING QUEUED PRINT JOBS - 1

  1. In the driver's Advanced tab click the [Separator Page...] button (1).
  2. Click [Browse] (2) and navigate to a file containing an image of the separator page you wish to use, then click [OK].

COVER PRINT

Cover print is when the first page (cover) of a print job is fed from one paper tray, and the remaining pages of the print job are fed from another paper tray.

This feature is not available in the Windows postScript drivers.

  1. In the Setup tab, choose any saved driver settings you wish to use. See "Recalling saved driver settings" on page 184
  2. Click [Paper Feed Options].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - COVER PRINT - 1

  1. Check the [Use different source for first page] checkbox.
  2. Choose the tray you want to feed the cover page from and the paper type in the [Source] and [Weight] drop-down lists.

CUSTOM PAGE SIZE

This feature enables printing on non-standard sized print media. The multipurpose tray is used for feeding non-standard media sizes. Print media width can be from approximately 2.9921 to 12.91 inches (76mm to 328mm), and its length can be from 3.54 to 47.24 inches (90mm to 1200mm). Actual limits vary slightly depending on which printer driver you use and your computer's operating system.

Some applications software may not produce the desired results with non-standard print media sizes, and some experimentation may be required to obtain the results you want.

Windows XP/2000 PostScript

  1. In the driver's [Layout] tab, click [Advanced].

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Windows XP/2000 PostScript - 1

  1. In the Advanced Options window, under [Paper/Output], choose [PostScript Custom Page Size] from the [Paper Size] drop-down list.

  2. In the PostScript Custom Page Size Definition window, Choose your [paper feed direction] from the drop-down list.

The available choices are:

OKI MC560MFP-PLUS - Windows XP/2000 PostScript - 2

Short edge firstThe page is portrait (tall) format and you will feed the top of the page into the MFP.
Long edge firstThe page is landscape (wide) format and you will feed the top of the page into the MFP.
Short edge first flippedThe page is portrait (tall) format and you will feed the bottom of the page into the MFP.
Long edge first flippedThe page is landscape (wide) format and you will feed the bottom of the page into the MFP.

Notice that the size ranges available swap places when you change the paper feed direction between a portrait and a landscape choice.

Remember that the width of the multipurpose tray is limited to the long edge of an A4 sheet 11.7 inches (297mm), so, if your paper is longer than this, you will have to feed it short edge first.

  1. You can also position the page image on the paper to avoid printing too close to the edge by choosing an [Offset].

Offset relative to [perpendicular] direction adds to your left margin.

Offset relative to [parallel] direction adds to your top margin (normal feed) or bottom margin (flipped feed).

  1. Click [OK] to close the PostScript Custom Page Size Definition window.
  2. Click [OK] to close the Advanced Options window.
  3. In the driver's window, choose the [Multipurpose Tray] as the [Paper Source].

  2. If this is the size of your document but you want to scale it to fit a standard size of paper, click [Resize document to fit printer page] in the Paper Feed Options window, and choose the MFP's actual paper size from the [Conversion] drop-down list.

DUPLEX (DOUBLE-SIDED) PRINTING

If your MFP has a duplex unit installed you can print on both sides of the paper, to save paper, weight, bulk and cost.

Only paper can be used for duplex printing, not transparencies or other media.

Use paper stock of 20-32 lb. (75-120 g/m²). If you experience excessive curling with 20-24 lb. (75-90 g/m²) paper, use 28 lb. (105 g/m²).
Use standard sized paper stock only, e.g. A4, A3, Letter, etc.
Load the paper print side up. Ream wrappers are usually marked with an arrow, indicating which is the print side.
Paper can be fed from standard paper trays, including the high capacity feeder if you have one, but not from the multipurpose tray.
Do not set the paper weight to Ultra Heavy.
Do not enable the White Page Skip function.
