Introduction
The Oki
®
C9800 prints excellent color documents for a
wide variety of applications, from general business to
professional level graphic arts. This booklet gives you
some guidelines for getting the best results for your
particular situation. It also points you to portions of the
documentation suite that provide details on specific topics
covered here.
Day-to-day Use of your Printer
There are two sources of information about the hardware
aspects of your printer:
• The Handy Reference Guide, attached to the side of
your printer
• The C9800 User’s Guide, an Adobe
®
pdf file located
on the Documentation CD.
Both of these explain how to use the printer’s control
panel, select and load paper, order and install
consumables, and solve simple problems. For quick
information, use the Handy Reference. For more details,
go to the User’s Guide.
For paper jams and certain other problems, you can also
press the Help button on the control panel for quick
information.
General Business Use
For most purposes, use the PostScript
®
(Fiery
®
) driver. It
produces the best color quality and prints superior
graphics. It also has special settings that optimize printing
from PowerPoint
®
.
Setting up the Fiery Driver
The Fiery driver sends a print file to a queue. For business
use, configure the driver to send to the Direct queue (see
the EFI
®
Configuration Guide
). This prints the file and
discards it.
Don’t use the Print queue or the Hold queue. These
queues leave the file on the server, which takes up space
and could present security problems if you’re printing
sensitive files. They also require an administrator to
control printing and deleting files. See chapter 3 of the EFI
Configuration Guide
for information on the queues.
Using the Fiery PostScript Driver
The Fiery driver includes advanced features and utilities.
Many of these are designed for use in professional
graphics environments. Normally they’re only used by a
system administrator who controls printing by all users on
a network. You don’t need to use them when printing
most business documents.
A Quick Tour of the Fiery PostScript Driver
Although the Fiery PostScript driver looks different from
most drivers, it does basically the same things—and more.
You can get to the driver in the normal way: From your
application, click File
→ Print → Properties. Then click
the Fiery Printing tab.
The Fiery driver window looks like this:
1. Print features. Click on the bar to expand selections
for each category. Hold the cursor over a bar to see the
features in each category.
NOTE
For details on working with color in office applications,
see chapter 3 of the EFI Color Reference Guide.
NOTE
To administer printers on a network, you can use Oki
Job Accounting or PrintSuperVision. See the Utilities
Guide for more information.
NOTE
“Destination,” “FreeForm,” and “Owner Information”
are used in networked graphics environments
