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

How do I load and print custom media?
Do not use custom media that does not have approved dimensions
Width: 76 mm (3") up to 216 mm (8.5")
Length: 127 mm (5") up to 356 mm (14")
1 In the printer driver (Setup tab/Media Type option), select Plain Paper.
2 Set the media size (Paper tab/Original Document Size/Edit Custom...)
3 Load the custom media lengthwise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
4 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the custom media.
Note
Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media
jams, or printer damage.
5 Print the custom media.
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

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.
Printing on Media
29
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 gummed
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.

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.

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 length-
wise and printing-side up in Tray 1.
5 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the transparencies.

Installing
Accessories
Introduction
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.
Introduction66
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.

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

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.
