Oki 8 Series Printer User Manual


 
The OKICOLOR
8 Series are Digital
LED color printers. Not laser. Not
inkjet. Not solid ink. With their fixed
arrays of light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
and precision lenses, OKICOLOR 8
printers have fewer moving parts, less
complexity, and an intuitively more
efficient printing method.
Consider the Single Pass Color
process: the paper medium follows a
streamlined path, passing beneath four
in-line OKI
®
printheads — one each for
cyan, magenta, yellow and black —
through the fuser, and out to the user.
Simple, effective and fast.
Color laser technology, on the other
hand, requires four passes not one
to process a 4-color image. Only when
the fourth pass is completed will all of
the toner be fused to the paper. Time is
wasted while the laser-produced image
is completed, transferred and fused.
Why settle for a longer wait when
you can have high-quality output in far
less time? Single Pass Color Digital
Technology puts color on the paper
with the exacting accuracy of true
600 x 600 dpi output, for breathtaking
reproduction and presentation-quality
documents in a fraction of the time!
Color expertise by the world leader
in color printing
Mention the name “Heidelberg” to
anyone involved in print production
and the reaction will be one of respect.
This global innovator — long associated
with such application creators as Adobe,
®
Microsoft
®
and Corel
®
— is now part-
nering with OKI to bring its color
expertise to business office printing.
To the OKICOLOR 8 Series.
Embedded in both models of the
Series are Heidelberg color profiles
and screens that provide high-quality
color “out of the box.” Forget the band-
ing and saturation problems that come
with less sophisticated profiles and
screens. Instead, the OKICOLOR 8
Series employs precise screens and
color mapping to produce outstanding
STREAMLINED SINGLE PASS PAPER PATH
FOUR DIGITAL LED ARRAYS
OKICOLOR 8 Series
Engineered with four solid-state print arrays and
four synchronized photoconductive drums. The four
toner colors are laid onto the paper and fused in a
single, direct pass.

the cyan toner portion of the

transferred to the drum…
