What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?

EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon [phone]

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 sp
able area, the maximum area on which

e printer can print clearly and without

th
distortion.

This area is subject to both hardware

s (the physical media size and the

limit
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.

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

EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon [phone]

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

ack to prevent static buildup before

st
inserting it in a tray.

" Do not fan transparencies.

Note

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.

Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media mis­feeds.

Duplexing

EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon [phone]

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 man
with the duplex option installed and selected.

ually or can be done automatically

Note

Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See
“Media Specifications” on page 52.

Duplexing envelopes, labels, transparencies, or glossy is not
supported.

How do I autoduplex?

You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to
successfully duplex the job.

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

Output Tray

All printed media is output to the face-down output tray on top of the printer.
This tray has a capacity of approximately 200 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m
(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.

About Toner Cartridges

Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan.
Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer
or on yourself.

" Install only new toner cartridges in your printer. If a used toner car-

tridge is installed, the indicator message will not clear and the supplies

atus in the Status Display will not be updated.

st

" The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with

cool water and a mild soap. If you 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.

CAUTION

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

" Refer to the following URL for recycling information.

Note

Do not use refilled toner cartridges or unapproved toner cartridges. Any
damage to the printer or quality problems caused by a refilled toner
cartridge or unapproved toner cartridge will void your warranty. No
technical support is provided to recover from these problems.

Replacing Consumables78

When replacing a toner cartridge, refer to the following table. For optimum

EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon [phone]

print quality and performance, use only approved KONICA MINOLTA toner
cartridges for your specific printer type, as listed in the table below. If you
open the top cover, you can find your printer type and the toner cartridge part
numbers on the consumables reorder label inside your printer.
