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 Tray, the paper path through the printer is essentially
straight. This avoids bending the paper around curves in the paper
path and makes paper feeding more reliable.

MEDIA TYPES
Paper
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 http://my.okidata.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.
C5300 Media Recommendations • 13
Envelopes
• Use only recommended envelopes (Oki 52206301 and 52206302:
see “Selecting/Using OKI Print Media“ in your C5300 Handy
Reference Guide for more information).
• Envelopes should be stored flat and away from moisture, direct
sunlight and heat sources.
• Don’t use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
• Don’t use damp, damaged or curled envelopes.
Transparencies
• Use only recommended transparencies (3M CG3720, Oki
52205701).
• Avoid office transparencies designed for use by hand with marker
pens. These will melt in the fuser and cause damage.
CAUTION
Print media must be able to withstand 446°F (230°C) for 0.2
second.

Auto Switching
If you have identical paper stock loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray or
the optional Second Paper Tray, you can have the printer
automatically switch to the other tray when the current tray runs out of
paper. This function is enabled in the Print Menu. (See page 187.)
MEDIA: MULTI-PURPOSE TRAY
Use the Multi-Purpose (MP) Tray for printing card stock, labels,
envelopes and transparencies. Or load a stack of letterhead
stationery to switch to as needed.
• A stack of media about 3/8'' (10 mm) high can be loaded into the
MP Tray, equivalent to about 10 envelopes or 50 transparencies.
• Media should be loaded print side up, top edge facing into the
printer.
• Generally, the rear exit (Face Up Stacker) is used with the MP
Tray.
Important!
The duplex unit can be used for paper only, at weights up to 28
lb. US Bond (105 g/m2 metric, 58 lb. Index). Do not use the
duplex (two-sided printing) function for labels, envelopes,
transparencies, or paper heavier than 28 lb. US Bond.

Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2
Operation
The printer driver supplied provides several controls for altering the
color output of your printer. For general use, the Auto settings will
suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good
results for most documents.
Many applications have their own color settings and these may
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the
documentation for your software application for details on how that
particular program’s color management functions.
This section will only detail options as they apply to the LaserWriter
8 driver. Refer to manufacturer’s guidelines regarding other driver
operations, for example the AdobePS driver.
COLOR PRINT MATCHING
Factors That Affect the Appearance of Printed Documents
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,
please be aware that color reproduction is a complex topic, and there
are many factors to take into consideration. Some of the most
important factors are listed below.
Differences between the Range of Colors a Monitor or
Printer Can Reproduce
• Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full
range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted
to a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a printer cannot
reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.
• Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. A
monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs), a
printer uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or
ink.
• A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and
blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows for
example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation • 28
on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is often
the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors
displayed on screen.
Viewing conditions
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For
example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under
standard office fluorescent lighting.
Printer driver color settings
The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a
print. There are several options available to help match the printed
colors with those displayed on screen. These options are explained
in subsequent sections of the User Manual.
To access the color matching options in the driver discussed below:
1. Access the printer settings page via the Print dialog from any
application (usually accessed via File — Print).
2. Click on the General drop down menu and select Color Option.
Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s
color temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colors look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
• 5000k*
Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphics arts
environments.
NOTE
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the
monitor’s control panel.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation • 29
• 6500k
Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
• 9300k
Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television sets.
*k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature
How Your Software Application Displays Color
Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe®
Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications
such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s on-line help
or user manual for more information.
Paper Type
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation • 30
CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD
There is no one correct way to achieve a good match between the
document displayed on your monitor and its printed equivalent.
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and
reproducible color.
The following guidelines may help in achieving good color output
from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending
on the type of document you are printing.
RGB or CMYK?
The guidelines for choosing a color matching method make
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, Black (CMYK).
Generally, most documents you print will be in RGB format. This is
the most common, and if you do not know your document’s color
mode, assume that it is RGB.
Typically CMYK documents are only supported in professional
Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.
Matching Photographic Images
RGB only
Oki Color Matching (found in the printer driver under Color Control)
is a generally a good choice. Select a matching method appropriate
to your monitor.
NOTE
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may
vary depending on the application from which you are
printing. Some applications will override any color matching
settings in the printer driver without warning.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation • 31
RGB or CMYK
If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application
such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to
simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use
the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC
profiles as the Print Space (or Output space).
Matching Specific Colors
(For instance, a Company logo.)
RGB only
• Oki Color Matching, and the sRGB setting.
• PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric option.
• Use the Color Swatch Utility to print out a chart of RGB swatches
and enter your desired RGB values in your application's color
picker.
RGB or CMYK
• If you are printing from a graphics application such as Adobe
Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the
printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC-
Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as
the Print Space (or Output space).
• Alternatively, use PostScript Color Matching with the Absolute
Colorimetric setting.
Printing Vivid Colors
RGB only
• Use Oki Color Matching, with either the Monitor 6500k Vivid,
sRGB or Digital Camera settings.
RGB or CMYK
• Use PostScript Color Matching with the Saturation option.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation Oki Driver Options • 32
Oki Driver Options
This section references only the OKI-supplied driver selections,
Color Option and Job Option, as well as the plug-ins Job
Accounting and Job Type - if available.
Color Option
1. To access Color Option, first select your desired printer from an
application using File—Print.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation Oki Driver Options • 33
2. Then open the drop-down menu directly underneath the printer
and select Color Option.
Color Control
The Color Control option allows you to determine the scheme in
which the printer will display colors.
1. Select the option desired.
OKI Color Matching
This is OKI’s proprietary color matching system and affects RGB
data only. This is the default setting and provides the fastest, best
color matching for your printer.
Postscript Color Matching
This uses PostScript Color Rendering Dictionaries built-in to the
printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation Oki Driver Options • 34
No Color Matching
No color correction occurs when selected. This option is beneficial
when other matching regimens are used, specifically if you select a
Color Simulation option.
Print In Grayscale
No color will print. The printer will interpret all colors as a variation of
grays.
Color Setting
This option allows you to select your color settings as they appear on
your monitor.
1. Select the option desired.
Monitor(6500k) Auto
The default setting that selects the best options for your printer. This
selection works best for office situations.
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color
temperature of 6500K, This is best for printing photographic images.
Monitor (6500k) Vivid
Optimized for printing bright colors when using a monitor with a color
temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics and text. Vivid or
Digital Camera settings produce brightest colors.
Monitor (9300k)
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color
temperature of 6500K.
Digital Camera
Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation Oki Driver Options • 35
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects
and the conditions under which they were taken. Vivid or Digital
Camera settings produce brightest colors.
sRGB
Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo
color. This option attempts to simulate RGB color. The colors within
the printer's color gamut are printed without any modification, and
only colors that fall outside the printable colors are modified.
Rendering
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the
document's color space to the printer color space. The rendering
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this color
conversion takes place.
1. Select the option desired.
Auto
The default. Auto uses the optimum settings for a general office
environment.
Perceptual
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut
into the printer's gamut while maintaining the overall appearance of
an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as
all the colors are shifted together.
Saturation
Best choice for printing bright & saturated colors if you don't
necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes it the
recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully
saturated colors in the source gamut to fully saturated colors in the
printer's gamut.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation Oki Driver Options • 36
Relative Colorimetric
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. Much
like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to
the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this
attempts to take the paper white into account.
Absolute Colorimetric
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc.
Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of
gamut colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white
as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different
from paper white, so this may result in color casts, especially in the
lighter areas of an image.
Color Simulation
This affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer
environments only.
This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan. If using CMYK Ink
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer
Color Matching by selecting the No Color Matching option under the
Color Match option in the printer driver.
1. Select the option desired.
Black Finish
This setting determines Black Toner usage only.
Auto
This option is best for an office environment, with the printer
determining which style is better.
C5300 Macintosh OS 8.6-9.2.2 Operation Oki Driver Options • 37
Glossy
This option uses more CMYK and less Black while producing a
shinier black.
Matte
This option uses more Black and less CMYK while producing a flatter
black.
Separations

recommended to use only one collate option to prevent any conflicts
in printing, i.e. collate from the software application or collate from the
printer driver.
The following instructions explain how to select collating using a
printer driver.
1. To access, first select your desired printer from an application
using File—Print..
NOTE
• Duplex printing can only be carried out on standard
paper sizes and paper weights between 20 and 28 lb. (75
and 105 g/m²).

C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 63
Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation
This section explains how to change the printer’s operation for
specific print jobs when required and is accessed directly from within
an application.
Most applications allow the printer properties to be accessed from
within the document print dialogue.
This section will first detail options as they apply to the OKI printer
driver, followed by a general discussion of certain common printer
driver options. Refer to manufacturer’s guidelines regarding other
driver operations.
COLOR PRINT MATCHING
The install utility provides a color matching profile for your printer. In
general, using the OKI Color Matching settings will provide
reasonable default settings that produce good results for most
documents.
Many applications have their own color settings and these may
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the
documentation for your software application for details on how that
particular program’s color management functions.
Factors that affect the appearance of prints
If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver,
please be aware that color reproduction is a complex topic, and there
are many factors to take into consideration. Some of the most
important factors are listed below.
Differences between the range of colors a monitor or printer
can reproduce
• Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing the full
range of colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted
to a certain range of colors. Additionally, a printer cannot
reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor and vice versa.
• Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. A
monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs), a
printer uses Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black (CMYK) toner or
ink.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 64
• A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and
blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows, for
example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately
on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is often
the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors
displayed on screen.
Viewing conditions
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For
example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed
standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under
standard office fluorescent lighting.
ICC Color Profile Select
Apple provides a ColorSync Utility — Devices that allows selection
of the OKI supplied ICC color profile for your monitor. The profile will
attempt to calibrate the monitor to more closely match the printer’s
output. However, merely selecting the profile will not automatically
produce perfect results as many factors will contribute to the gamut
of color selection.
1. Navigate to the utility by accessing your Local Hard Drive —
Applications — Utilities — ColorSync Utility.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 65
2. Click the arrow next to Displays and select your monitor (in this
example it is iMac). In the Current Profile area click the down
arrow and select Other... to access the OKI Color Profile.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 66
3. From the Profile selection menu, find and click on the desired ICC
Profile and then press Open to enable.
Default Color Profile Select
Not to be confused with the ColorSync Utility, Apple also provides
a System Preference utility, ColorSync, for selection of color profiles
for the printer and documents when a document does not contain
embedded profiles.
1. Navigate to the utility by accessing your System Preferences —
ColorSync.
2. On the first tab, Default Profiles, select your default profiles by
pressing the double arrow and highlighting the profile desired.
The above example details the CMYK output space default
selection.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 67
Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen. You can calibrate your
monitor’s color regimen in System Preferences — Displays —
Color. Additionally, your monitor color temperature influences how
"warm" or "cool" the colors look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
• 5000k or D50 Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in
graphics arts environments.
• 6500k or D65 Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
• 9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television
sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature)
How your software application displays color
Some graphics applications such as Macromedia Freehand or
Adobe Photoshop may display color differently from "office"
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s
online help or user manual for more information.
Paper type
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color.
For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one
on specially formulated glossy paper.
NOTE
Several of the Color Matching options make reference to
your monitor’s Color Temperature. Many modern monitors
allow the color temperature to be adjusted using the
monitor’s control panel.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 68
CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD
There is no one correct way to achieve a good color match between
the document displayed on your monitor, and it's printed equivalent.
There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and
reproducible color.
However, the following guidelines may help in achieving good color
output from your printer. There are several suggested methods,
depending on the type of document you are printing.
RGB or CMYK?
The guidlines for choosing a color matching method makes
distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, Black (CMYK).
Generally, most office documents you print will be in RGB format.
This is the most common, and, if you do not know your document’s
color mode, assume that it is RGB.
Typically CMYK documents are only used in professional Desktop
Publishing and Graphics applications.
Matching Photographic Images
RGB only
Oki’s Color Matching (found in the printer driver under Printer
Features — Features 2) is a generally a good choice. Select a
matching method appropriate to your monitor.
NOTE
These suggestions are for guidance only. Your results may
vary depending on the application from which you are
printing. Some applications will override any color matching
settings in the printer driver without warning.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 69
RGB or CMYK
If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application
such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to
simulate the printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use
the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC
profiles as the Print Space (or Output space).
Matching Specific Colors
(For instance, a Company logo.)
RGB only
• Oki Color Matching, and the sRGB setting.
• PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric option.
RGB or CMYK
• If you are printing from a graphics application such as Adobe
Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the
printed image on your monitor. To do this, you can use the ICC-
Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as
the Print Space (or Output space).
• Alternatively, use PostScript Color Matching with the Absolute
Colorimetric setting.
Printing Vivid Colors
RGB only
• Use Oki Color Matching, with either the Monitor 6500k Vivid,
sRGB or Digital Camera settings.
RGB or CMYK
• Use PostScript Color Matching with the Saturation option.

black text.
1. Click on the checkbox to enable the option.
Collate
Collating can be carried out with or without a hard disk drive installed.
However, printers with a hard disk drive will provide greater
performance. This option is useful when printing multiple copies of
large documents and you want to print them in sequence.
NOTE
If your software application has a collate option, use it
instead of the collate option in the printer driver.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 72
1. Click to enable collation of your documents.
Color Control
No Color Matching
No color correction occurs when selected. This option is beneficial
when other matching regimens are used, specifically if you select a

Color Setting
This option allows you to select your color settings as they appear on
your monitor.
1. Select the option desired based upon the information below.
Digital Camera
Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This
tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some
photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects
and the conditions under which they were taken. Vivid or Digital
Camera settings produce brightest colors.
Monitor(6500k) Auto
The default setting that selects the best options for your printer. This
selection works best for office situations.
Monitor (6500k) Perceptual
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color
temperature of 6500K, This is best for printing photographic images.
Monitor (6500k) Vivid
Optimized for printing bright colors when using a monitor with a color
temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics and text. Vivid or
Digital Camera settings produce brightest colors.
Monitor (9300k)
Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color
temperature of 6500K.
sRGB
Optimized for matching specific colors, such as a company logo
color. This option attempts to simulate RGB color. The colors within
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 74
the printer's color gamut are printed without any modification, and
only colors that fall outside the printable colors are modified.
Feature Set 2
The tab’s features are explained below.
Color Simulation
Affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer
environments only.
This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press
using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan. If using CMYK Ink
Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer
Color Matching by selecting the No Color Matching option under the
Color Match option in the printer driver.
1. Select the option desired.
Media Check
Sets whether the printer checks the matching of paper size to that of
the tray. Only standard sizes are checked.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 75
Media Type
Many options are available for selecting the thickness of the paper
type. Normally the Printer Setting is sufficient.
1. Select your desired Media Type. Any option, other than Printer
Setting, will override the setting at the printer.
Multipurpose tray is handled as manual feed
Select the option desired — the default is No.
Page Rotate
Checking this will rotate the printed material on the page 180
degrees.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 76
Feature Set 3
The tab’s features are explained below.
Quality
A straightforward selection of the print quality desired.
• Fast: low resolution, fast speed: choose this for quick proofing of
drafts.
• Fine: the default - high resolution, slower speed: Provides
optimum results when printing graphics.
1. Select your desired print quality.
Rendering Intent
When a document is printed, a conversion takes place from the
document's color space to the printer color space. The rendering
intents are essentially a set of rules that determine how this color
conversion takes place.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 77
1. Select the option desired.
Absolute Colorimetric
Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc.
Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of
gamut colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white
as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different
from paper white, so this may result in color casts, especially in the
lighter areas of an image.
Auto
The best default select as this selects the optimal settings for a
general office environment.
Perceptual
Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut
into the printer's gamut whilst maintaining the overall appearance of
an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as
all the colors are shifted together.
Relative Colorimetric
Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. Much
like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to
the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this
attempts to take the paper white into account.
Saturation
Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you don't
necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes it the
recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully
saturated colors in the source gamut to fully saturated colors in the
printer's gamut.
C5300 Macintosh OS 10.2 Operation • 78
Separations
This option affects output only, allowing you to print all colors or
separate splates.
1. Select the option desired.
Printer Halftone
This option prevents the halftone of a high-end graphic application
from printing.
1. Click on the checkbox to enable the option.
Toner Saving
Checking this will enable toner saving but reduce print quality.
NOTE
You must select a non-generic PostScript Printer
Description (PPD) file for a printer that supports color
separations.
