  5. Duplex unit (when fitted).

  6. Rear, face up, 100 sheet stacker.
  7. Parallel Port.

* The Network Interface may have a protective "plug" which must be removed before connection can be made.

When the rear paper stacker is folded down paper exits the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked here face up. This is mainly used for heavy print media. When used in conjunction with the multi purpose feed tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper path and enables feeding of up to 200g/m^2 media.

CHANGING THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE

The default language used by your printer for display messages and for report printing is English. If required, this can be changed to:

German Danish

French Dutch

Italian Turkish

Spanish Portuguese

Swedish Polish

Russian Greek

Finnish Czech

Hungarian Norwegian

NOTE:

  1. The list above is neither conclusive nor exhaustive.
  2. See the information enclosed with the product (Operator Panel Language Set-up utility) on the procedure for changing the language setting.

PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS

Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes, transparencies and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type.

The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75\~90g/m ^2 paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types are:

Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;
Colour Copy by Mondi Business paper.

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 printer. Window envelopes are not suitable. Envelopes should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers and laser printers. In particular, avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage. Transparencies should be handled by the Multi Purpose tray.

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.

Use the MPT for printing labels.

If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd/3rd tray if you have one, or multi purpose tray) you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of paper. When printing from Windows applications, this function is enabled in the driver settings. When printing from other systems, this function is enabled in the Print Menu.

If fitted, tray 2/3 may be removed and replenished while the machine is being fed from tray 1. Tray 1 cannot be removed while the machine is being fed from tray 2/3, because parts of tray 1 are used to guide paper fed from tray 2. This also applies to tray 2 when paper is being fed from tray 3.

MULTI PURPOSE TRAY

The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in weights up to 220g/m^2 . For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.

The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 64mm and lengths up to 1320mm (banner printing).

For paper lengths exceeding 431.8mm use paper stock up to 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 10mm.

Paper or transparencies should be loaded print side up and top edge into the printer. Do not use the duplex (two-sided printing) function.

FACE DOWN STACKER

The face down stacker on the top of the printer can hold up to 250 sheets of 80g/m^2 standard paper, and can handle paper stocks up to 176g/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 printer should be opened and the tray extension pulled out when required for use. In this condition paper will exit via this path, regardless of driver settings.

The face up stacker can hold up to 100 sheets of 80g/m^2 standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 220g/m^2 .

Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper stocks heavier than 176g/m^2 .

DUPLEX UNIT

This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same range of paper sizes as tray 2/3 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), using paper stocks from 64-128g/m ^2 .

NOTE:

The duplex unit comes as standard with dn & cdtn models.

SECURITY (C830 ONLY)

SECURE PRINTING

Secure printing allows you to print confidential documents on machines that are shared with other users in a network environment.

The document does not print until a PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered through the Printer Control Panel. You must go to the machine and enter the PIN.

This feature requires the hard disk drive option to be fitted to your machine and enabled in the printer driver.

If there is not enough hard disk space for the spooled data, a "Disk Full" message displays, and only one copy prints.

The secure printing feature may not be available from within some PC applications.

If your application software has a collate print option, turn it off. Otherwise secure printing will not work.

Secure printing is not supported in the Mac environment.

There are three parts in secure printing:

Sending the document to the machine (page 17);
Printing the document (page 18);
Deleting the document when it is not required (page 18).

SENDING THE DOCUMENT

  1. If using the PCL driver, in the [Setup] tab choose any saved driver settings you wish to use.
  2. In the driver's [Job Options] tab, click [Secure Print].
  3. The Job PIN (Personal Identification Number) window opens.

  1. If the PIN window does not open, click the [PIN] button.
  2. In the Job PIN window, enter a [name] for this print job.
  3. The name may be up to 16 alpha-numeric characters.
  4. If you would like a prompt at the machine for the job name, click the [Request...] checkbox below the name entry.
  5. Enter a number from 0000 to 9999 in the [PIN] box.

  6. Your PIN must be unique on this machine. Each user should be allocated a PIN by the system administrator.

  7. Click [OK] to accept your changes.

  8. Click [OK] to close the Printer Properties window.

  9. Print your document.

  10. The print job will be sent to the machine, but will not print at this time.

PRINTING THE DOCUMENT

Your secure print job is printed using the Printer Control Panel on the front of the machine.

OKI C830N - PRINTING THE DOCUMENT - 1

text_image SHUT DOWN /RESTART READY HELP ATTENTION Ready To Print Power Save Toner C M Y K MENU BACK ENTER ON LINE CANCEL ② ①
  1. When the machine is idle use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons (2) to select the PRINT JOB menu, then press [ENTER] (1).

  2. Select "ENCRYPTED/STORED JOB".

  3. Use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to enter the first digit of your PIN, then press [ENTER].

  4. Repeat step 3 to enter the remaining three digits.

  5. Press [ENTER] to confirm you wish to print the document.

  6. Use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to select the number of collated copies you require.

  7. Press [ENTER] to print your document.

When all required copies have been printed your document is automatically deleted from the machines hard disk.

It is also possible to print and delete secure documents remotely from your PC using the Storage Device Manager utility.

DELETING A SECURE PRINT DOCUMENT

If you change your mind about printing a secure document, you can delete it from the machine's hard disk without printing it first.

  1. Follow steps 1 to 4 in the above procedure for printing the document.

  2. Use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to highlight the DELETE option and press [ENTER].

  3. If necessary, use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to highlight the YES choice, and press [ENTER] to confirm the deletion.

  4. Your document is deleted from the machine's hard disk without printing.

STORE TO HARD DISK

This feature allows print jobs to be created on the PC and stored on the machine'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 machine at any time and print off your forms without having to re-send them from the PC.

This feature works in exactly the same way as the secure printing feature described earlier in this Chapter, and is available only in the Windows PostScript and PCL drivers. The difference with job spooling is that the document is not automatically deleted from the machine'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 greyed out, check to ensure that the hard disk is enabled in the printer driver.

Like the secure printing feature, there are three parts in job spooling:

  1. Sending the document
  2. Printing the document
  3. Deleting a stored document

SENDING THE DOCUMENT

Follow the same procedures as described in the section "Sending the document" on page 17 for sending a secure document, except that on the [Job Options] tab in step 2, click [Store to HDD].

PRINTING THE DOCUMENT

Follow the same procedures as described in "Printing the document" on page 19 for printing a secure document. In this case the document will not be deleted from the hard disk after it has been printed.

DELETING A STORED DOCUMENT

Follow the procedure as described in "Deleting a secure print document" on page 18 for deleting a secure print document.

Like secure print documents, any other documents stored on the machine's hard disk can also be deleted remotely from the PC using the Storage Device Manager utility.

ENCRYPTED SECURE PRINTING

Security over the network is an increasing concern for some organisations. Encrypted secure printing allows you to send, store and print confidential documents on machines that are shared with other users in a network environment.

Encrypting your documents before sending them to your machine will prevent unauthorised personnel accessing confidential or sensitive information.

Print jobs are encrypted immediately before transmission to the machine, where they are stored in an encrypted format on the hard disk drive. The documents will remain stored and unprinted until an authorised user authenticates the print job; decryption only happens when the job is actually printing.

This feature requires the hard disk drive in your machine, this device must be enabled in the printer driver.

The encrypted secure printing feature may not be available from within some PC applications.

If your application software has a collate print option, turn it off. Otherwise secure printing may not work.

NOTE:

Encrypted secure printing is not available with either 32 bit or 64 bit versions of Windows Vista.

There are two parts in encrypted secure printing:

  1. In the Encrypted Secure Print window, enter a [Password] for this print job:

The password must be between 4 and 12 alpha-numeric characters. Numbers 1 to 9 and letters a to z are all valid.

If you would like a prompt at the machine for the job password, click the [Always ask for password] checkbox below the password entry.

  1. Select the required erase option for your print job:

No overwrite: simply erases a print job without over writing the job with data. This erase method poses a risk of the print job being reconstructed.

Zero out once: erases a print job after over writing it with data once. This erase method is safer than the "No overwrite" option however it still poses a risk of the print job being reconstructed.

Multiple Random Overwrites: erases a print job after over writing it with data three times. This is the safest method of erasing a print job however it takes longer to complete the job.

  1. Select the Auto Erase Time-out period.

Specify a period of time (hours:minutes) during which the print job is stored in the machine's HDD. When this period expires, the print job is automatically erased from the HDD.

TRAY SEQUENCEDOWNUPPAPER FEED TRAYDetermines tray sequence order when automatically switching.
MP TRAY USAGEDO NOT USEWHEN MISMATCHIf a document to be printed demands a paper size not installed in the selected tray, the printer can automatically feed from the multi purpose tray instead. If this function is not enabled, the printer will stop and request the correct size of paper to be loaded.
MEDIA CHECKENABLEDISABLEDetermines whether the printer check the size of paper loaded matches that required for the document sent to print.
ITEM SETTINGS EXPLANATION
MONO-PRINT SPEED AUTO SPEEDIf the first page of a print job is black and white, the printer runs at 32ppm (pages per minute). When a colour page is detected the printer slows down to 30ppm for the rest of that job.
MONO 32PPMThis setting operates in the same way as AUTO SPEED, except that the printer runs at 32ppm until a colour page is detected. To achieve this speed the printer requires an additional time to warm up and cool down when switching to 30ppm for colour pages. This setting is therefore most appropriate when the majority of print jobs are entirely black and white.
COLOR SPEEDThe printer runs at 30ppm for all print jobs. This setting is most appropriate when the majority of print jobs are in colour.
MIXED SPEEDThe printer runs at 26 ppm for colour pages and 30 ppm for mono pages.

OVERLAYS AND MACROS (C830 - WINDOWS ONLY)

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.

You can create several overlays or macros, and combine them in any way you like to produce a variety of forms and other special stationery. Each image can be printed on just the first page of a document, on all pages, on alternate pages, or just the pages that you specify.

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. The project file will contain one or more overlay images which are functionally related, such as the cover page and the continuation page images for business letters.
  3. Use downloaded files to define your overlays ready for use when printing your documents.

When printing overlay files to disk, do not select any special features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are not appropriate to overlays, they apply only to your final documents.

CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE

  1. Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program, to create the required overlay image and save it.
  2. Open your application's Print... dialogue.
  3. Make sure that the selected printer name (1) is that of your PostScript printer driver.
  4. Select the Print To File (2) option.
  5. Click the Properties button (3) to open the Document Properties window.
  6. On the Overlay tab, choose Create Form from the drop-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. Choose Printers→Add File to Project.
  4. Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn).
  5. Navigate to the folder where the.PRN files are stored and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.
    You can have more than one printer (.PRN) file in a project. For example, one for top pages and another for continuation pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl keys) to select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.
  6. Click Open to add these files to the current project.
  7. When a message box appears confirming that a filter file has been created, click OK to clear the message.
  8. The project window will display one.HST file for each printer file added. Make a careful note of each of these names. Ensure that you note them exactly as they appear, they are case sensitive, and you will need them later.
  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.

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. Use downloaded files to define your overlay ready for use with any future document.

When printing files to disk, do not select any special features, such as two-sided printing or multiple copies. These are not appropriate to macros, they apply only to your final documents.

CREATING THE OVERLAY IMAGE

  1. Use your preferred application, perhaps a graphics program, to create the required image and save it.
  2. Open your application's Print... dialogue.
  3. Make sure that the selected printer name (1) is that of your PCL printer driver.
  4. Select the Print To File (2) option.

REPLACING CONSUMABLE ITEMS

This section explains how to replace consumable items when due.

NOTE:

When the LCD display indicates TONER LOW, or if print appears faded, first open the top cover and try tapping the cartridge a few times to evenly distribute the toner powder. This will enable you to obtain the best "yield" from your toner cartridge.

As a guide, the life expectancy of these items is:

> Toner:

Starter Cartridge:

The printer is shipped with sufficient Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black toner for 2,000 images (ISO/IEC19798), of which 750 images are used to charge the image drum (1,250 images remaining at 5% coverage).

Replacement Cartridge:

Replacement cartridges (C, M, Y & K) have a capacity of approximately 7,000 images (calculated on typical office usage where 20% of printing is 1 page only, 30% is 3 page documents and 50% is print runs of 15 pages or more).

> Image drum:

As the lifetime of the cartridge is proportional to the number of drum rotations, simplex printing on A4 or Letter paper yields:

20,000 pages (approx.) for 3 pages per job

11,000 pages (approx.) for 1 page per job

27,000 pages (approx.) for continuous print job

Transfer belt: Approximately 80,000 A4 pages.

Fuser: Approximately 100,000 A4 pages.

TONER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

CAUTION!

To avoid toner wastage and possible toner sensor errors, do not change the toner cartridge(s) until "TONER EMPTY" is displayed.

For the protection of your product, and in order to ensure that you benefit from its full functionality, this model has been designed to operate only with genuine original toner cartridges. Any other toner cartridge may not operate at all, even if it is described as "compatible", and if it does work, your product's performance and print quality may be degraded.

Non-genuine original products may invalidate your warranty.

The toner used in this printer is a very fine dry powder. It is contained in four cartridges: one each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

Have a sheet of paper handy so that you have somewhere to place the used cartridge while you install the new one.

Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly, inside the pack that the new one came in. Follow any regulations, recommendations, etc., which may be in force concerning waste recycling.

If you do spill any toner powder, lightly brush it off. If this is not enough, use a cool, damp cloth to remove any residue.

Do not use hot water, and never use solvents of any kind. They will make stains permanent.

WARNING!

If you inhale any toner or get it in your eyes, drink a little water or bathe your eyes liberally in cold water. Seek medical attention immediately.

  1. Press the cover release and open the printer's top cover fully.

WARNING!

  1. Re-connect the AC power cable and switch the printer ON.

All that remains is to adjust the printer driver to make full use of the new features ("Adjusting printer drivers" on page 83).

ADJUSTING 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.

If you have installed a memory upgrade it is not necessary to change the printer driver, and you can ignore this section.

If you have installed a duplex unit, hard disk or paper tray(s), proceed as follows:

WINDOWS:

  1. Open the Printers window (called "Printers and Faxes" in Windows XP) 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 Options tab, check the box for the upgrade you have just installed.

  4. Click OK to close the properties window, and then close the Printers window.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS

Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on the use of print media, and you keep the media in good condition prior to use, your printer should give years of reliable service. However, paper jams occasionally do occur, and this section explains how to clear them quickly and simply.

Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any point on the paper path through the printer. When a jam occurs, the printer immediately stops, and the Alert LED on the Status Panel (together with the Status Monitor) informs you of the event. If printing multiple pages (or copies), do not assume that, having cleared an obvious sheet, others will not also be stopped somewhere along the path. These must also be removed in order to clear the jam fully and restore normal operation. Major printer components and paper path
