6. Rear Stacker (face up)
Capacity 100 sheets
When the rear paper stacker is folded down, paper exits
the printer through the rear of the printer and is stacked
face up.
This is used for labels, heavy print media, envelopes and
custom paper sizes.
When used with the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper path
through the printer is essentially straight. This avoids
bending the print media around curves in the paper path
and makes paper feeding more reliable.

Paper Feed, Exit Path, and Duplex
General Information
The size, weight, and type of the paper (print media)
determine:
•which paper feed tray can be used
•which paper exit path can be used
•whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing
Single sided printing is also known as simplex printing.
These settings can be made in the printer menu or in the
printer driver.
Application settings override driver settings.
Driver settings override printer menu settings.
NOTE
To determine if a paper weight is US Bond or Index,
check the metric equivalent.
35 lb US Bond = 132 g/m2
35 lb Index = 64 g/m2

The best performance is obtained when using paper designed
for use in copiers and laser printers. Suitable types include:
•Hammermill®Laser Printer Radiant White, 24 lb. US
Bond (90 g/m²)
•Xerox®4024, 20 lb.US Bond (75 g/m²)
•Oki®52206101 Bright White Proofing Paper, 32 lb. US
Bond (120 g/m2)
Recommendations
•Check www.okiprintingsolutions.com for the latest
information on recommended papers for your printer.
•Paper should be stored flat, away from moisture, direct
sunlight and heat sources.
• The use of heavily laid or textured paper will
seriously affect the life of the image drum and give
poor print quality. Print quality can be improved by
changing the media setting to ‘Ultra Heavy.’ However,
this will reduce the output speed and prevent the use of
the duplex option.
•Avoid:
– Damp, damaged or curled paper.
– Very smooth, shiny or glossy paper.
– Heavily embossed letterhead paper, very rough paper
or paper that has a large grain difference between the
two sides.
– Paper with perforations, cut-outs or ragged edges.
– Carbon paper, recycled paper, NCR paper,
photosensitive paper, pressure sensitive paper or
thermal transfer paper.
