Physical Setup
Customizing the Installation
This document tells you how to perform a typical
installation, using the default settings of the printer.
These default settings do not need to be adjusted as
part of a standard installation. However, you may need
to adjust settings to fit your requirements.
Some settings you may need to adjust as part of your
installation are:
• Top of Form (TOF)
• Paper Path
• Printhead Gap
To adjust these settings, refer to the appropriate
subsection of "Using Your Printer" in the Printer User's
Guide.
User's Guides
The Printer User's Guides and the Network User's Guide
are provided as Adobe Acrobat files on the CD shipped
with your printer. You can view the files using Adobe
Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat
Reader, it is also provided on the CD or you may
download it from the Adobe web site, www.adobe.com.
Documentation is also available via Oki Data's web site,
www.okiprintingsolutions.com.
Top of Form (TOF)
If you turn the platen knob when the printer is turned
on, you will cause the Top of Form to mis-align. Always
turn the printer off before turning the platen knob!
The factory default setting for the Top of Form (where
the printing should begin) is one inch down from the
top of the page.
Your software may print the first line of print above or
below where TOF is set. You may need to adjust the
TOF to meet your software's needs. Use the procedures
in the Printer User's Guide, "Using Your Printer, Top of
Form, Forms Tear-Off Status (ON or OFF)."
The first line prints at the red line of the plastic paper
shield (1) on the printhead.

The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your
printer interact.
How you set the Top of Form depends on the status of
the Forms Tear-Off menu setting.
If Forms Tear-Off is activated (set to ON), set the Top of
Form using the Printer User's Guide, "Using Your
Printer, Setting Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off ON (Step
A)."
If Forms Tear-Off is NOT activated (set to OFF), set the
Top of Form using the Printer User's Guide, "Using Your
Printer, Setting Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off OFF (Step
B)."
Set up the Printer
1. Unpack your machine.
