    TIPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR
    The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour 
    output from your printer.
    PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES
    Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting. 
    If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or 
    Digital Camera settings.
    PRINTING FROM OFFICE APPLICATIONS
    Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having 
    problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft 
    Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint.
    PRINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS (E.G. A COMPANY LOGO)
    There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help 
    match specific colours:
    Colour Correct Utility 
    Colour Swatch Utility 
    ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT
    If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control 
    to adjust it. 
    If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the 
    Saturation control.

    ACCESSING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS
    The colour matching options in the printer driver can be used to 
    help match your printed colours to the ones displayed on your 
    monitor or from some other source, such as a digital camera.
    To open colour matching options 
    from the Windows Control Panel:
    1.Open the Printers window 
    (called “Printers and Faxes” 
    in Windows XP).
    2.Right-click the printer name 
    and choose Properties.
    3.Click the Printing 
    Preferences button (1).
    To open colour matching options from within a Windows 
    application:
    1.Choose File—Print… from the application’s menu bar.
    2.Click the Properties button next to the printer name.
    SETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS
    1.On the Colour tab select Advanced Colour for colour 
    matching.

    2.Choose the Natural colour setting and select from the 
    following options:
    (a)Monitor (6500k) Perceptual
    Optimised for printing photographs. Colours are 
    printed with emphasis on saturation.
    (b)Monitor (6500k) Vivid
    Optimised for printing photographs, but with even 
    more saturated colours than the Monitor (6500k) 
    Perceptual setting.
    (c)Monitor (9300k)
    Optimised for printing graphics from applications 
    such as Microsoft Office. Colours are printed with 
    emphasis on Lightness. 
    (d)Digital Camera
    Optimised for printing photographs taken with a 
    digital camera. 
    Your results will vary depending on the subject and 
    the conditions under which the photograph was 
    taken.
    (e)sRGB
    The printer will try to reproduce the sRGB colour 
    space. This may be useful if colour matching from an 
    sRGB input device such as a scanner or digital 
    camera.

    USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE
    To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour 
    Swatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was supplied 
    with your printer.
    The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range 
    of sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours 
    that the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour are 
    the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be 
    used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to 
    choose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatch 
    button (1) and choose from the options available.
    An example of using the colour swatch function:
    You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps 
    you would follow are:
    1.Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that 
    best suits your needs. 
    2.Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that 
    you liked.
    3.Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB 
    values, and change the logo to that colour.
    The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily 
    match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case, 
    it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor 
    and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your 
    primary objective is to print the required colour.

    USING THE COLOUR CORRECT UTILITY
    The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver 
    CD-ROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed 
    along with the printer driver.
    The Colour Correct utility has the following features:
    >Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually 
    adjusted. This is useful if you want to change how a 
    specific colour is printed.
    >Colours can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and 
    Gamma. This is useful if you wish to change the overall 
    colour output. 
    Once these colour adjustments have been made, the new 
    settings can be selected from the printer driver Colour tab.
    To select adjustments made with the Colour Correct 
    Utility:
    1.From your application program, click File and point to 
    Print.
    2.Click Properties. This displays the printer driver options.
    3.Click the Colour tab.
    4.Click Advanced Colour.
    5.Click User Defined.
    Select the colour adjustment you made with the Colour Correct 
    Utility.

    MENU FUNCTIONS
    This sections lists the menus accessed via the controls on the 
    printer’s operator panel and displayed in the LCD window.
    It should be noted that many of these settings can be, and often 
    are, overridden by settings in the Windows printer drivers. 
    However, several of the driver settings can be left at “Printer 
    Setting”, which will then default to the settings entered in these 
    printer menus.
    Where applicable, factory default settings are shown in bold type 
    in the following tables.
    In the normal operating condition, known as “standby,” the 
    printer’s LCD window will show “ONLINE.” In this condition, to

    appears next to the setting currently in effect.
    3.Use the +/– keys to move up and down through the 
    available settings for this item, and press ENTER when 
    the setting you want is displayed. An asterisk (*) will 
    appear next to the setting, indicating that this setting is 
    now in effect.
    4.Press BACK to move back to the list of menu items.
    5.Do one of the following:

    PRINT JOBS MENU
    This menu only appears when the hard disk drive is installed. It 
    is used for printing of documents stored on the internal hard disk. 
    These will be stored using either the secure printing feature or 
    the proof and print feature. Please refer to these features 
    elsewhere in this manual for instructions on how to use.
    You will be prompted for your password or personal identification 
    number (PIN). The +/– keys are used to enter each digit and the 
    ENTER key to advance from one digit to the next.

    This menu provides a quick method of listing various items stored 
    within the printer.
    SHUTDOWN MENU

    MONO-PRINT 
    SPEEDAUTO SPEED
    NORMAL 
    SPEED
    COLOR SPEED If 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 20ppm (C5600) or 26ppm 
    (C5800) for the rest of that job.
    This 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 10 – 20 seconds to warm 
    up and 30 –60 seconds to cool down 
    when switching to 20ppm (C5600) or 
    26ppm (C5800) for colour pages. 
    This setting is therefore most 
    appropriate when the majority of 
    print jobs are entirely black and 
    white.
    The printer runs at 20 ppm (C5600), 
    26ppm (C5800)for all print jobs. This 
    setting is most appropriate when the 
    majority of print jobs are in colour.
