An initial setup process is required before you can print DeskManager Online forms through your Okidata. Once the setup process has been completed, your Okidata forms will print accurately without the need for margin adjustments.
Configuring the Internal Settings
Insert a blank sheet of paper into your printer.
Enable the printer’s Menu Mode by holding SHIFT and then pressing the SEL button. The Menu light will turn on. Release the buttons once the Menu light illuminates.
If the Menu light does not come on, turn the printer off and back on and repeat this step.
Press the GROUP button once. Depending on your printer model you will see either Printer Control – Emulation Mode or General Control – Emulation Mode.
Press SET until the printer prints Printer Control – Emulation Mode – ML or General Control – Emulation Mode – ML. Skip to the next step if the Mode is already set to ML.
Next press the GROUP button until the printer prints Top Feed – Line Spacing – [value].
From here press the ITEM button. The printer should print Top Feed – Bottom Margin – [value].
If the value for Bottom Margin is Invalid, skip to the next step. Otherwise, press SET, and the printer should then print Top Feed – Bottom Margin – Invalid.
Next press the ITEM button until the printer prints Top Feed – Page Length Control – [value]. You will pass by Top Feed – Page Length on the way.
If the value for Page Length Control is by Actual Page Length, skip to the next step. Otherwise, press SET, and the printer should then print Top Feed – Page Length Control – by Actual Page Length.
Now press the GROUP button until the printer prints Set-Up – Graphics – [value].
Next press the ITEM button until the printer prints Set-Up – Paper Out Override – [value].
If the value for Paper Out Override is Yes, skip to the next step. Otherwise, press SET, and the printer should then print Set-up – Paper Out Override – Yes.
Now press ITEM until the printer prints Set-Up – Auto Select – [value].
Be aware that the printer will print a series of vertical lines the first time after Set-up – Paper Out Override.
If the value for Auto Select is Yes, skip to the next step. Otherwise, press SET, and the printer should then print Set-Up – Auto Select – Yes.
You have now successfully configured the internal settings for your Okidata printer. Press and hold SHIFT and then press SEL to turn off the Menu Mode.
To eject the paper, press the FF LOAD button. Turn off your printer, then turn it back on.
Your Okidata’s internal settings are now correctly configured.
Make sure you have also configured the mechanical settings and driver to complete the setup process.
