2How should I use VPhoto Primer ink?

The VPhoto Primer ink prints an undercoat and improves the print quality on most plain papers by allowing you to print photo quality images at 2400 dpi using variable dots.

3Is it OK to print using white ink on top of a full colour image?

This can cause unsatisfactory results. Print the white ink before using other ink colours.

4For full colour printing and glossy finish, may I use any type of paper?

We suggest using High Grade Paper for full col- our printing and glossy finish. Using other types of paper can produce a poor image. Although using our VPhoto Primer can help make many plain papers suitable for full-colour printing.

5Must I use the special sheets when printing transparencies?

Yes, OKI recommended inks do not adhere well to normal transparency sheets.

6Can I print on regular greeting cards?

Yes, using manual feed mode.

7Can I use the Photo Overcoat cartridge for photo realistic finishing?

No. Always use the Finish II cartridge.

Connection method

1I would like to use a printer switcher.

Since your printer switcher may not support bi- directional communication, use a uni-directional interface setting.

2I would like to use multiple printer ports for connections.

If the computer is AT-compatible, up to three ports (LPT1 to LPT3) can be used, as long as they are parallel ports.

3Can I use the printer on a network?

Yes, the printer can be used on a network, but only with a unidirectional interface and when set for unidirectional communication.
