LED DISPLAYS
General
Printer status (as indicated by the LEDs) can be broadly
categorised as follows:
1. Normal status: the printer is operating normally e.g. it is
ON LINE or processing.
2. Warning status: you can continue to use the printer
without intervention but an error may result.

3. Error status: you cannot continue to use the printer.
Intervention is required to recover from the error. Fatal
errors are irrecoverable and require a service call.
When several different status situations occur concurrently, only
the status with the highest priority is displayed on the LEDs.
Warning status combined with the highest-priority normal status
is displayed on the LEDs.

P APER 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
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 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.
Transparencies should be of the type designed for use in copiers
and laser printers. We strongly recommend Oki transparencies
(Order No. 01074101). 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 White Laser Label types 7162, 7664, 7666 (A4), or
5161 (Letter);
>Kokuyo A693X series (A4) or A650 (B5).
Business cards recommended are produced by Oki (Order
No. 09002985).

C ASSETTE TRAY
If you have identical paper stock loaded in the 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.
M ULTI PURPOSE TRAY
The multi purpose tray can handle the same media sizes as the
cassette trays but in weights of 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 printer is almost
straight.
The multi purpose tray can feed paper widths as small as 105mm
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.
