Media Types

Before purchasing a large quantity of special media, do a trial printing with the same media and check the print quality.

Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. For a list of approved media, refer to printer.konicaminolta.com.

Plain Paper (Recycled Paper)

Capacity Tray 1(multipurpose)		250 sheets of 80 g/m2(22 lb) paper; capacity for other weights varies accordingly.
Orientation	Face up
DriverMedia Type	Plain paper (Recycled paper)
Weight 60–90 g/m2(16–24 lb bond)

Use media that is

Suitable for plain paper laser printers, such as standard or recycled office paper.

Note

Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, or damage to the printer.

DO NOT use media that is

■ Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, digitally gloss-coated media, and colored paper that has been treated)
■ Carbon backed
■ Unapproved iron-on transfer media (such as heat-sensitive paper, heat-pressure paper, and heat-press transfer paper)
■ Cold-water-transfer paper
■ Pressure sensitive
■ Designed specifically for inkjet printers (such as superfine paper, glossy paper, glossy film, and postcards)
■ Already printed on by another printer, copier, or fax machine
■ Dusty
■ Wet (or damp)

Keep media between 35% and 85% relative humidity. Toner does not adhere well to moist or wet paper.

■ Layered
■ Adhesive
■ Folded, creased, curled, embossed, warped, or wrinkled
■ Perforated, three-hole punched, or torn
■ Too slick, too coarse, or too textured
■ Different in texture (roughness) on the front and back
■ Too thin or too thick
■ Stuck together with static electricity
■ Composed of foil or gilt; too luminous
■ Heat sensitive or cannot withstand the fusing temperature (180°C [356°F])
Irregularly shaped (not rectangular or not cut at right angles)
■ Attached with glue, tape, paper clips, staples, ribbons, hooks, or buttons
Acidic
■ Any other media that is not approved

Thick Stock

Paper thicker than 90 g/m^2 (24 lb bond) is referred to as thick stock. Test all thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image does not shift.

Driver Media Type Envelope
Weight 91–163 g/m2 (25–43 lb)
Duplexing Not supported

Use envelopes that are

■ Common office envelopes approved for laser printing with diagonal joints, sharp folds and edges, and ordinary gummed flaps

Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed area on the flaps may seal. Using envelopes with emulsion-based glue avoids this problem.

■ Approved for laser printing
Dry

DO NOT use envelopes that have

■ Sticky flaps
■ Tape seals, metal clasps, paper clips, fasteners, or peel-off strips for sealing
■ Transparent windows
■ Too rough of a surface
■ Material that will melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes
■ Been presealed

Labels

A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and a carrier sheet:

■ The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.
■ The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhesive should come through on the surface.

You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.

Format label data within your application. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. Check your application documentation for more information on printing labels.

Transparencies

Do not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static electricity may cause printing errors.

If you touch the face of the transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected.

Keep the printer path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom of the sheets, see chapter 7, “Maintaining the Printer”.

Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup.

You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing environment.

Format the information to be printed on the transparencies within your application. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.

If you have problems feeding 20 sheets, try loading only 1–10 sheets at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may cause static buildup, thus causing feeding problems.

Capacity Tray 1 Up to 20 transparencies, depending on their thickness
Tray 2 and 3	Not supported

■ Have static electricity that will cause them to stick together

What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?

The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4 mm (0.157") from the edges of the media.

Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.

This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of

memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4 mm (0.157") from all edges of the media.

Imageable Area—Envelopes

Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope type.

The envelope print orientation is determined by your application.

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

Loading Media

How do I load media?

Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray.

Illustration showing a hand holding a card and folding a folded paper sheet (no text or symbols)

Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.

When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.

Duplexing

Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-sided) printing. Opacity refers to how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.

Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done automatically with the duplex option installed and selected.

Note

Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m ^2 (16–24 lb) can be autoduplexed. See “Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported sizes.

Duplexing envelopes, labels, postcards, thick stock, or transparencies is not supported.

How do I autoduplex?

You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to have the job duplex successfully. If the duplex option is not installed and duplex job is sent, the control panel will display DUPLEX UNIT NOT ATTACHED.

Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex printing.

The following Duplex/Booklet settings are available.

	If “Short Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip at the top.
	If “Long Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip at the side.
	If “Booklet Left Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a left-bound booklet.
	If “Booklet Right Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a right-bound booklet.

1 Load plain paper into the tray.
2 From the printer driver, specify the layout for duplex printing.
3 Click OK.

With autoduplexing, the back side is printed first, and then the front side is printed.

Output Tray

All media is output to the face-down output tray on top of the printer. This tray has a capacity of 250 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80g / m^2 (22 lb) paper.

If the media is stacked too high in the output tray, your printer may experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.

Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup.

Media Storage

How do I store media?

• Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it.
  Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding.
  If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
  ■ Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above 35^ C [95°F]), and dust.
  ■ Avoid leaning media against other objects or placing it in an upright position.

Before using stored media, do a trial print to check print quality.

Maintaining the Printer

CAUTION

Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any instructions contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of the printer's covers and the interior of the printer body.

Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause damage and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or outside of the printer, printer performance and print quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the following guidelines in mind.

WARNING!

Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise the printer will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.

CAUTION

The fuser unit is hot. When the right side cover is opened, the fuser unit temperature drops gradually (one hour wait time).

■ Be careful when cleaning the inside of the printer or removing media misfeeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot.
■ Do not place anything on top of the printer.
■ Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.
- Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printer's surface; the spray could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits.
- Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
- Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small inconspicuous area of your printer to check the solution’s performance.
■ Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads.
- Always close the printer's covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibration.
■ Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until it cools down.

Menu Select←	PRINT CONFIG PAGE
Menu Select←	The configuration page prints and the printer goes back to READY.

Preventing Media Misfeeds

Make sure that...

Media matches the printer specifications.

Media is flat, especially on the leading edge.

The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface.

You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.

You remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to avoid static buildup.

You always adjust the media guides in the tray after inserting the media (a guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media mis-feeds, and printer damage).

You load the media printing-side up in the tray (many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side).

Avoid...

Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.

Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking together).

Fanning transparencies since this causes static.

Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.

Overfilling the trays.

Allowing the output tray to overfill (the output tray has a 250-sheet capacity—misfeeding may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 250 sheets at one time).

Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

Understanding the Media Path

Understanding the printer's media path will help you locate media misfeeds.

1 Output tray
2 Toner cartridge
3 Transfer belt unit
4 Laser
5 Tray 1
6 Tray 2 (optional)
7 Tray 3 (optional)
8 Duplex option
9 Fuser unit

Clearing Media Misfeeds

To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any pieces of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not reload media that has misfed.

Note

The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you touch the printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be careful not to touch the print face when removing the misfed media. Make sure not to spill any toner inside the printer.

CAUTION

Unfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on. If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap.

CAUTION

If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.

If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the control panel window persists, open and close the printer's covers. This should clear the misfeed message.

Solving Problems with Media Misfeeds

Frequent misfeeds in any area indicate that area should be checked, repaired, or cleaned. Repeated misfeeds may also happen if you're using unsupported print media.

Symptom Cause Solution
Several sheets go through the printer together.	The front edges of the media are not even.	Remove the media and even up the front edges, then reload it.
	The media is moist from humidity.	Remove the moist media and replace it with new, dry media.
	Too much static electricity is present.	Do not fan transparencies.
Media mis-feed message stays on.	Right side cover needs to be opened and closed again to reset the printer.	Open and close the right side cover of the printer again.
	Some media remains misfed in the printer.	Recheck the media path and make sure that you have removed all of the misfed media.
Duplex option mis-feeds.	Unsupported media (wrong size, thickness, type, etc.) is being used.	Use KONICA MINOLTA-approved media. See “Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported sizes.
		Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2(16–24 lb) can be autoduplexed. See “Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported sizes.
		Make sure that you have not mixed media types in Tray 1.
		Do not duplex envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies.
	Media is still being misfed.	Recheck the media path inside the duplex option and make sure that you have removed all of the misfed media.
Media is misfeeding.	The media is not correctly positioned in the tray.	Remove the misfed media and reposition the media properly in the tray.
	The number of sheets in the tray exceeds the maximum allowed.	Remove the excess media and reload the correct number of sheets in the tray.
	The media guides are not correctly adjusted to the media size.	Adjust the media guides in the tray to match the size of the media.
	Warped or wrinkled media is loaded in the tray.	Remove the media, smooth it out, and reload it. If it still misfeeds, do not use that media.
	The media is moist from humidity.	Remove the moist media and replace it with new, dry media.
	Custom-sized media, envelopes, labels, postcards, thick stock, or transparencies are loaded in Tray 2 or 3.	Special media must be loaded in Tray 1 only.
	The recommended transparency or label sheet is facing the wrong way in Tray 1.	Load the transparencies or label sheets according to the manufacturer's instructions.
	Envelopes are facing the wrong way in Tray 1.	Load the envelopes in Tray 1 so the flaps are facing down.
		If the flaps are on the long edge, set the envelopes in Tray 1 so that the flaps are facing into the printer.
Media is misfeeding.	Transparencies have collected static electricity in the tray.	Remove the transparencies and load them in the tray one sheet at a time.Do not fan transparencies before loading them.
	Unsupported media (wrong size, thickness, type, etc.) is being used.	Use KONICA MINOLTA-approved media.See “Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported size.
	The media roller is dirty.	Clean the media supply roller.For more details, refer to “Media Roll-ers” on page 83.

	The power switch is not correctly turned on (I position).	Turn the power switch off (O position), then turn it back to the on (I position).
	The printer is connected to an outlet with a voltage or frequency that does not match the printer specifications.	Use a power source with the specifications listed in appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”
Data was sent to the printer, but it doesn’t print.	An error message is displayed in the message window.	Handle according to the message displayed.
The control panel displays TONER LOW much sooner than expected.	The toner cartridge is defective.	Remove the toner cartridge and check it for damage. If it is damaged, replace it.
	You printed with heavy toner coverage.	See specifications in Appendix A.
You can’t print the configuration page.	The tray is empty. Check that at least Tray 1 is loaded with media, in place, and secure.
	The printer’s covers aren’t closed securely.	Make sure the covers are closed securely. Close all covers gently to avoid jarring the printer. Make sure the waste toner bottle and toner cartridges are installed correctly.
	There is a media misfeed.	Clear the media misfeed.
Printing takes too much time.	The printer is set to a slow printing mode (for example, thick stock or transparency).	It takes more time to print on special media. When using regular paper, make sure that the media type is set properly in the driver.
	The printer is set to Energy Saver mode.	It takes time for printing to start in Energy Saver mode. If you do not want to use this mode, disable it.
	The job is very complex.	Wait. No action needed.

Use of accessories not manufactured or supported by KONICA MINOLTA will void your warranty.

This chapter provides information about the following accessories.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)	512 MB DIMM (Buffered)
Duplex Option Auto duplexing
Lower Feeder Unit 500-sheet tray included

Note

Installing accessories always requires that the printer and accessories are turned off and unplugged during installation.

Antistatic Protection

Note

Before opening and handling the dual in-line memory module (DIMM), first touch a metal part of the printer to avoid an electrostatic charge building up. When the DIMM is taken out of its conductive bag, hold it by its edges to avoid touching the electronic circuits. When handling the DIMM, be sure to place it on an anti-static mat or a piece of aluminum foil.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)

You may need additional memory (DIMM) for complex graphics, and for duplex printing.

Dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is compact circuit board with surface-mount memory chips.

Your printer comes with 64 MB SDRAM printer memory on board. However, you can upgrade to a maximum of 576 MB of RAM through the installation of an additional 512 DIMM. Your printer comes with one free DIMM slot.

Installing a DIMM

Note

It's very important to protect the printer controller board and any associated circuit boards from electrostatic damage. Before performing this procedure, review the antistatic caution on page 126. In addition, always handle circuit boards by the edges only.
