Frequently Asked Questions - LE810DTUPS OKI

How to load the label roll into the LE810DTUPS printer?

Open the top cover, then the front cover. Turn the print head latch clockwise to open the head. Pull the media guide outward, place the roll with the print side facing up, then push the guide against the edge of the roll. Route the media under the hold-down, through the sensor, under the print head, and forward. Close the print head, the front cover, then the top cover.

How to install the printer driver on Windows?

Insert the software CD into the drive. Select your language, accept the license, then choose 'Install Driver' in 'Driver Setup'. Follow the Add Printer wizard, select the OKIPOS LE810 model and the appropriate port. Check the box to set it as default printer if desired. You can also install the Status Monitor (StatMon) to monitor the printer.

What to do if the printer displays a sensor error?

Loosen the green sensor adjustment knob located under the media transport assembly. Move the sensor in increments of 1/4 inch (or less) until the error disappears. Then retighten the knob. Ensure the media passes through the sensor assembly properly.

How to clean the print head?

Turn off the printer and open the covers. Open the print head using the latch. Use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol to gently clean the print head surface. Let it dry before closing.

What types of media can I use with this printer?

The printer accepts labels, tickets, and receipts in roll form. The media must be suitable for direct thermal printing. The maximum media width is approximately 118 mm and the roll outer diameter must not exceed 127 mm.

Printer does not turn on, what to check?

Check that the power adapter is properly connected to the printer and to a working power outlet. Ensure all covers (top and front) are securely closed, as the interlock switches prevent operation if a cover is open.

How to adjust the sensor for different label types?

The sensor must be positioned to detect the notches, holes, or marks of the media. Loosen the adjustment knob, move the sensor until the sensor error disappears, then retighten. For labels without marks, use the 'continuous' mode in the driver settings.

Can I use an external rewinder?

The printer can be equipped with an optional internal rewinder. If your model has one, remove about 60 to 75 cm of labels from the backing paper to wind around the take-up spool hub. Otherwise, the media will exit freely from the front.

How to print a test page?

Access the printer properties in Windows, under the 'General' tab, click 'Print Test Page'. You can also use the Status Monitor (StatMon) to launch a test from the menu.

Where to find the printer serial number?

The serial number is on a label on the back or bottom of the printer. It can also be displayed via the printer configuration software.

USER MANUAL LE810DTUPS OKI

1. Open the Top Access Door by swinging it up.

1. Open the Front Access Door by pushing down on the green Dispenser Latch and swinging the door forward and to the left. This gives access to the print mechanism on three sides.

Note: The Top Access Door must be open before the Front Access Door can be opened.

1. Open the Print Head Assembly by rotating the green Head Latch counter clockwise. The head is spring loaded and will automatically raise to the opened position.

1. Pull the Media Supply Guide to the outside of the printer to give the maximum media width.

1. Load the roll onto the Media Holder so that the printing side of the media faces upwards as it unwinds from the roll. Push the roll all the way to the inside of the printer, then push the Media Supply Guide back in until it fits snugly against the outside of the media roll.

1. Route the media under the Media Hold-Down, through the Media Sensor Assembly, under the Print Head and out the front of the print mechanism. Push the media all the way to the inside of the printer. Clear access is provided to the label path by pulling the top of the Outside Media Guide down.

Note: Make sure the media is routed through the Media Sensor Assembly. If it is not, the printer will react as if there is no media loaded and will refuse to print.

1. Adjust the media sensor to compensate for irregularities in the media (i.e.: notch, tag hole, gap, perforation or markings). The proper position will be media-dependent. To properly adjust the sensor position, loosen the green Sensor Adjust Knob located on the bottom side of the Media Transport Assembly and move the sensor in 1 / 4 inch increments (or finer) until the sensor error is cleared. After the error is cleared, retighten the green Sensor Adjust Knob.

1. Raise the Outside Media Guide to the closed position and push the guide inward until it barely contacts the outside edge of the media.
2. If your printer does not have an internal rewind, then skip to step 14.
3. Remove 24" to 30" of labels from the backing paper to provide enough backing paper free of labels to wrap around the Backing Take-Up Spindle.

1. Route the label backing down the front of the print mechanism and around the Backing Drive Roller.

1. Wrap the backing under and around the Backing Take-Up Spindle, routing it under the two Backing Retainer Prongs.

1. Manually turn the Backing Take-Up Spindle counterclockwise to take up all the slack in the backing.

Note: Inspect the media routing and verify that the path matches that illustrated in the Media Loading diagram on the inside of the Top Access Door.

1. Close the Print Head and latch it in the down position.

1. Close the Front Access Door. After the Front Access Door is closed, the Top Access Door may be closed. These covers have interlock switches and the printer will not operate if either is open.
