If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging and store in a cool, dark place.

When storing media, avoid

Moisture, excess humidity

Keep media between 30% to 65% relative humidity. Toner does not adhere well to moist or wet paper

On the other hand, media that has been stored for a long time without staying in its packaging may dry up too much and also cause jamming.

Direct sunlight
Excess heat (up to 35^ / 95^ )
Dust
Leaning against other objects or placed in an upright position

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

Media Not Suitable for Printing

Note

Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print quality, media jams, or damage to the printer. Also, using them will void your warranty.

Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, digitally gloss-coated media, colored paper that has been treated)
Carbon backed
- Iron-on transfer media (heat-sensitive paper, heat-pressure paper, heat-press transfer paper)
Cold water transfer paper

An inkjet printer
A monochrome or color laser printer or copier
- A heat-transfer printer
- Another printer or fax machine

Wet (or damp)
Layered
Adhesive
■ Folded, creased, curled, embossed, warped, or wrinkled
Perforated, three-hole punched, or torn
Too slick, too coarse, too textured
Different in texture (roughness) on the front and back
Too thin or too thick
Stuck together because of static electricity
Composed of foil or gilt; too luminous
Heat sensitive or cannot withstand the fusing temperature (205^ / 401^)

Any other media that is not approved

Use media that is

Suitable for plain-paper laser printers, such as standard paper

What Is the guaranteed imageable (printable) area?

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

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.

How do I refill Tray 1?

Refill the tray only when it is completely empty.

1 Remove the tray cover from Tray 1. Squeeze the right paper guide and open the paper guides.

2 Load the media lengthwise and printing-side up in the tray.

A maximum of 250 sheets (75 g/m² [20 lb] plain paper) can be loaded. If media is loaded past the media limit mark, it may not be fed correctly.

Load letterhead with the side to be printed facing up and the preprinted letterhead at the top (facing the printer).

3 Squeeze the right paper guide and adjust the paper guides so that both the left and right sides of the media are secure. Then, re-place the tray cover onto Tray 1.

How do I refill the manual feed tray?

When using the manual feed tray, the sheet of paper must be fed in one at a time.

1 Make sure that the tray cover is properly attached to Tray 1.
2 Open the paper guides.

3 Insert the sheet of paper as far as possible into the manual feed tray with the side to be printed on facing up, and then adjust the paper guides so that both sides of paper are a secure.

How do I load and print custom media?

Do not use custom media that does not have approved dimensions

How do I load and print envelopes?

Before printing on envelopes, we recommend printing a test page. If the print result is not oriented as desired, select Rotated (Paper tab/Orientation option).

Do not use envelopes that have

Sticky flaps
- Tape seals, metal objects, paper clips, fasteners, or peel-off strips for sealing
Transparent windows
Rough surface
Material that will melt, vaporize, or emit dangerous fumes
■ Been presealed

Use envelopes that are

Common office envelopes with diagonal joints, sharp folds and edges, and ordinary gumed flaps
Approved for laser printing
Dry

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Envelope.
2 Select the size of the envelope (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Remove the tray cover from Tray 1. Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners.
4 Flex the envelope stack (including the edges) to remove any stiffness.
5 Correct any bent corners, and tap the envelopes on a flat surface to align them.
6 Squeeze the right paper guide and open the paper guides.

7 Load the envelopes lengthwise and the printing-side up as shown in the illustrations.

Note

Print envelopes on the front address side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of three layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these layered regions may be lost or faded.

8

Recheck the paper guides to make sure they are adjusted to the width of the envelopes.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

9

Print the envelopes.

10

Open the flap of each envelope immediately (before it cools) after the envelope is delivered to the output tray.

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

How do I load and print labels?

A label 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 paper. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous print and print one sheet at a time.

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

Do not use label sheets that

Have labels that easily peel off

Labels may stick to the fuser, causing them to peel off and media jams to occur.

Are precut

Do not use

OK to use

Full page labels (uncut)

Use label sheets that are

Recommended for laser printers

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Thick Paper.
2 Select the size of the label (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Remove the tray cover from Tray 1. Load the label media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
4 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the label media.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

5 Print the labels.

How do I load and print postcards?

Do not use postcards that are

Coated
Warped or bent
Designed for inkjet printers
Multicolored
Preprinted or multicolored (may result in printer jamming)

Use postcards that are

Postcards (100× 148mm / 3.9× 5.8 in.) recommended for laser printers
1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Postcard.
2 Select the size of the postcard (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).

3 Remove the tray cover from Tray 1. Place the postcards on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners.
4 Remove any media in Tray 1.
5 Load the postcard media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
6 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the postcards.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

7 Print the postcards.

How do I load and print thick stock?

Test all thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image does not shift.

Do not use thick stock that is

• Mixed with any other media in the media trays (as this will cause printer jamming)

Note

Do not mix thick stock with any other media in the same tray, as this will cause printer jamming.

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Thick Paper.
2 Select the size of the stock (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Remove the tray cover from Tray 1. Load the thick stock media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
4 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the thick stock.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

5 Print the thick stock.

How do I load and print transparencies?

Note

Using unsupported transparency media such as coated color transparencies will result in damaging the printer and in voiding your warranty.

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

If you touch the face of transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected. Do not handle transparency media too much.

You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing environment. If you have problems loading a large number of transparencies at a time, try loading only 1-10 sheets.

Do not use transparencies that

Are coated, such as transparencies designed for color printers or copiers
Have static electricity that will cause them to stick together

Use transparencies that are

Monochrome, uncoated transparencies (also known as OHP film)
1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option) select Transparency.
2 Select the size of the transparency (Paper tab/Original Document Size option).
3 Fan a few transparencies.

Fanning a large number will build up static electricity.

4 Remove the tray cover from Tray 1. Load the transparency media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
5 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the transparencies.

Note

Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

6 Print the transparencies.
7 Immediately remove the printed transparencies from the output tray.

Manual Duplexing

Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-sided) printing. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.

How do I manually duplex?

Media jams may occur if the printed sheet(s) reinserted are not entirely flat.

1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Duplex/Booklet option), select the appropriate setting from Short Edge Binding, Long Edge Binding, Booklet Left Binding, or Booklet Right Binding.
2 From the print dialog box of your software, select the necessary settings and print all pages.
3 Remove the single-sided print-outs from the output tray, and then insert them into Tray 1 with the same orientation that they were fed out.

4 Click Proceed on the screen of your PC or press the Cancel button.

Replacing Consumables

Installing Accessories

9

Note

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

This chapter provides information about the following accessory.

Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs)

128 MB DIMM (unbuffered)

Note

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

Antistatic Protection

Note

If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach one end of it to your wrist and the other end to any convenient electrical ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the back of a computer, that is plugged in but turned off). Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical current present. Turn off all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer is not an acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you perform this task.

If you do not have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer boards or components and before removing the controller board. Also avoid walking around after grounding yourself.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)

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

Dual in-line memory modules (or DIMMs) are compact circuit boards with surface-mount memory chips.

Your printer comes with 16 MB SDRAM printer memory on board. However, you can upgrade to a maximum of 144 MB of RAM through the installation of an additional DIMM. Additional memory must be 128 MB DIMM. Your printer comes with one available DIMM slot.

Installing a DIMM

Note

It is 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 66. In addition, always handle circuit boards by the edges only.

1 Turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord and the interface cables (if attached) from the printer.
2 Open the front cover.

3 Remove the screw on the back of the right cover.

4 Unhook the tab on the inside of the right cover by inserting your finger from the bottom of the printer, then pressing on the tab backward.

Remove the right cover by lifting it up and out.

5 Remove the two screws at the top of the inner metal panel, and then loosen the screw at the front tab.

Remove the left side of this panel out, and then slide the panel up to remove it.

6 Insert the new DIMM straight into the DIMM connector until the latches snap into the locked position.

Move the left side of this panel out, and then slide the panel up to remove it.

7 Reattach the inner metal panel.
8 Reattach the right cover.
9 Close the front cover.
10 Print a configuration page (Refer to "Printing a Test Page" on page 3) and verify that the amount of RAM installed in your printer is listed.
