Setting the Color Registration for Windows 95 / 98 / NT 4.0

Since each color is printed separately, you must set the color registration to ensure that the colors line up properly. If the colors are out of alignment, the printed page will appear blurry and unclear.

To ensure optimum print quality, you should set the color registration on a routine basis (once a month or so).

It is also recommended that you set the color registration when you change toner or image drums, when you load paper in the paper tray, or if you move the printer.

To set the color registration:

1Open the Color Registration Utility: click Start Æ Programs ÆOKICOLOR 8 ÆOKICOLOR 8 Color Registration Utility.

2Make sure OKICOLOR 8 on LPT1: (or OKICOLOR 8

PS on LPT1:) is highlighted in the box (if you are using a port other than LPT1:, make sure that port is highlighted).

3From the list, select the tray you want to calibrate.

4Click Print Color Calibration page.

The printer prints a color test page with 9 sections, each with a series of lined boxes in it.
