REAR VIEW
This view shows the connection panel, the rear output stacker 
and the location of the optional duplex (two-sided printing) unit.
* The Network Interface has 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 purp ose 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 203g/m² media.

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 ob tained when using standard 
75~90g/m² paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. 
Suitable types are:
• Arjo Wiggins Conqueror Colour Solutions 90g/m²;
• Colour Copy by Neusiedler.
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  s h o u l d  b e  f r e e  f r o m  t w i s t ,  c u r l  o r  o t h e r  d e f o r m a t i o n s .  
They should also be of the rectan gular 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.
Transparencies  should be of the type designed for use in 
copiers and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki Printing 
Solutions transparencies (Order No. 01074101). In particular, 
avoid office transparencies design ed 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 White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or 5161 (Letter);

CASSETTE TRAYS
If you have identical paper stock loaded in another tray (2nd 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. (See “Printer Settings in 
Windows” later in this guide.) When printing from other systems, 
this function is enabled in the  Print Menu. (See “Menu Functions” 
later in this guide.)
MULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette 
trays but in weights up to 203g /m². For very heavy paper stock 
use the face up (rear) paper stacker. This ensures that the paper 
path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 100mm 
and lengths up to 1200mm (banner printing).
For paper lengths exceeding 356mm (Legal 14in.) use paper 
stock between 90g/m² and 128g/m² 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 us e 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/m² standard paper, and can handle paper 
stocks up to 176g/m². 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/m² 
standard paper, and can handle stocks up to 203g/m².
Always use this stacker and the multi purpose feeder for paper 
stocks heavier than 176g/m².
DUPLEX UNIT
This option provides automatic two-sided printing on the same 
range of paper sizes as tray 2 (i.e. all cassette sizes except A6), 
using paper stocks from 75-105g/m². 
NOTE:
The duplex unit comes as standard with dn models.

3.Load letter headed paper face down and top edge towards 
the front of the printer, as shown.
4. Adjust the rear stopper (1) and paper guides (2) to the 
size of paper being used.
To prevent paper jams:
• Do not leave space between the paper and the guides 
and rear stopper.
• Do not overfill the paper tray. Capacity depends on the  type of paper stock.
• Do not load damaged paper.
• Do not load paper of different sizes or types at the  same time.
• Do not pull the paper tray out during printing (except  as described below for the 2nd tray).
• Close the paper tray gently.
5. If you have two trays and you are printing from the 1st 
(upper) tray, you can pull out the 2nd (lower) tray during 
printing to reload it. However, if printing from the 2nd 
(lower) tray, do not pull out the 1st (upper) tray. This will 
cause a paper jam.
