SDRAM on board.

Processor

The magicolor 5440 DL supports the Graphical Display Interface (GDI)
for Windows, host-based PostScript®rasterizer for Macintosh, and
PageScope Raster Language for Linux. As such, the printer utilizes the
power of the host computer’s CPU for processing documents prior to
printing. The printer’s controller features an ARM9, 200 MHz processor
for imaging the document.

Memory

The magicolor 5440 DL includes 64 MB of RAM on the controller. This
memory is sufficient for printing all supported page sizes (simplex and
duplex) at all resolutions. The printer also has one available DIMM (Dual
In-Line Memory) socket for increasing system RAM.

 Standard RAM: 64 MB on board

 Maximum RAM: 576 MB

The magicolor 5440 DL has one open DIMM slot that accepts up to 512
MB RAM available exclusively from KONICA MINOLTA. Memory is

memory can improve the printer’s performance, especially when used in
a network environment with the optional duplexer or camera-direct
photo printing feature installed.

Advanced Document Processing

The magicolor 5440 DL’s driver offers a means of activating additional
document handling functions, including:

 Printer-based electronic collation

 Watermarks

 N-up printing

Instead of transmitting a multiple page print job several times over the
network to get the number of “copies” required, simply select the copy
count in the magicolor 5440’s driver and send the job once. Called
printer-based electronic collation, this feature enables the printer to
deliver the number of sets required, with pages in proper order, without
bogging down the network.

Using the printer’s driver, users can also add common text watermarks,
such as “CONFIDENTIAL” and “DRAFT” to a document—or create a
custom watermark of their own. The driver includes selections for indi­cating the watermark’s placement.

The magicolor 5440 DL driver also has
an N-up option that allows users to print
their multi-page documents with 2, 4, 6, 9
and 16 pages on a single sheet. Add a
border line and select the flow of the
pages across the sheet using easy to

understand driver settings.

N-up Printing: Print a multiple page document with up to 16 pages of that document on one sheet.

22

Consumables

Intelligent supplies...it’s a new concept in printing...and the
magicolor 5440 DL’s got it!

Intelligent, User-Replaceable Consumables

 Cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) all-in-one toner

 Transfer belt

 Waste toner box

The magicolor 5440 DL uses four (CMYK) all-in-one cartridges that
include toner and OPC in one easy to install, easy to store unit. Each
cartridge is color coded for error-free installation and features an intelli­gent chip that stores information on toner levels for accurate supplies
monitoring (See “Supplies Monitoring” for further details).

The magicolor 5440 DL uses an innovative toner technology, KONICA
MINOLTA’s Simitri Polymerized Toner, to produce exceptional output. It’s
composed of smaller particles that are more uniform in size and shape
than conventional toner to create finer lines, better halftones, and
improved image quality. It also has a higher transfer efficiency then reg­ular toner, further contributing to output quality while producing less
waste toner. A lubricant encapsulated within the toner particles elimi­nates the need for fuser oil, meaning users have one less consumable
to buy.

The printer’s waste toner box captures
excess toner from the printing process
and prevents engine damage from loose
toner particles.

The magicolor 5440 DL also has a
transfer belt that takes the image
composed of toner and transfers it
to the print media as the media
passes through the engine.

Four cartridges include toner and OPC in one unit.

23

Consumable Yields

Consumable yields are expressed as a number of letter/A4 pages @ 5%
coverage. Actual consumable life depends on variables such as page
coverage, page size, media type, continuous or intermittent printing,
duplexing, number of color planes, ambient temperature, and humidity.

The magicolor 5440 DL includes starter cartridges that hold enough
toner for an average of 3,000 prints (5% coverage, letter-size, contin­uous printing). It also includes a full-capacity transfer belt unit and waste
toner box.

Replacement supplies offer the following yields:

Consumable Yield*

Black Toner 6,000 or 12,000 pages

Cyan Toner 6,000 or 12,000 pages

Magenta Toner 6,000 or 12,000 pages

Yellow Toner 6,000 or 12,000 pages

Transfer Belt Unit 120,000 pages continuous printing

100,000 pages intermittent printing

Waste Toner Box 40,000 pages black & white printing

10,000 pages color printing

*Based on 5% letter/A4-size, single-sided page coverage

Optimal consumables life is achieved with continuous printing (three pages or more per
job). Intermittent printing (one page per job) will reduce consumable life as stated.

24

Supplies Monitoring

The magicolor 5440 DL uses its intelligent all-in-one cartridges to com­municate remaining supply levels to consumers. With a smart tracking
chip installed, it accurately measures remaining toner and displays its
findings in four locations (see below) for evaluation.

This feature is both practical and convenient as it helps a user deter­mine if there is enough toner remaining to complete job. It’s also helpful
in stocking supplies, enabling a company to keep a just-in-time inven­tory of supplies on hand.

To view remaining supply levels, users have four options:

 Front keypad

 Configuration page

 Status Display

 PageScope Web Connection

The printer’s front keypad provides the quickest method for reviewing
supply levels.

From the front keypad, users can access the menu system to print a
Configuration Page. This sheet details information on all supplies as
well as showing the number of pages printed, options installed, network
setup, and engine settings.

A third method for reviewing how much toner remains in each cartridge
is with the Status Display. This handy utility resides on the desktop and,
by simply selecting Display > Supplies Status, shows this information in
a full-color, gas gauge-style graphic.

The quickest way to review supply levels is through
the printer’s front keypad.

25

For individuals who do not sit near the printer, PageScope Web
Connection offers a convenient way to review supply levels. Simply type
in the magicolor 5440 DL’s Internet Protocol (IP) address into the
address field of any Web browser. PageScope Web Connection offers a
snapshot of this and other printer information, including print job status
and the printer’s current configuration.

PageScope Web Connection lets you review supply
levels from the convenience of your desktop.

26

Printer
Management

All the tools for printer management conveniently located on
your desktop.

The magicolor 5440 DL offers a number of convenient tools for printer
control that are included on a Software Utilities and Documentation CD­ROM shipped with the printer.

 Printer drivers for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux

 Status Display

 PageScope Web Connection

 Electronic Documentation

The CD, in itself, is also convenient. It features an auto-install interface
that automatically detects the printer on the network and guides the
user step by step through the installation process.

Printer Drivers

The magicolor 5440 DL ships with Microsoft certified printer drivers that
support Windows Server 2003, XP, and 2000. Drivers for older Windows
versions (NT4, Me, and 98SE) are included with the printer but are no
longer certified by Microsoft due to the age of these versions. The cus­tomer must install the driver on each computer that will print to the
magicolor 5440 DL. The installation wizard finds the printer and quickly
and installs the driver in minutes.

For Macintosh users, the magicolor 5440 DL offers a driver for Mac OS X
(v10.2+) that supports the Rendezvous networking technology built into
this operating system. When it’s installed on a network, the magicolor
5440 DL immediately broadcasts information about its capabilities to
other Rendezvous-enabled devices on the network. Macintosh users of
systems running OS X 10.2 or higher can immediately begin printing to
the magicolor 5440 after installing the printer driver.

Drivers for Linux Red Hat 8.0+ and SuSE 8.1+ are also included.

27

The magicolor 5440 DL driver for Windows fea­tures a tabbed layout that conforms to Microsoft
standards, making it very simple to understand.

The Windows, Macintosh, and Linux drivers provide a graphical method
for making printer selections, including:

 Selecting media type, copy count, paper size, paper source,

paper orientation, and duplexing

 Adjusting quality and color settings including resolution and color

matching

 Adding custom or preselected watermarks, performing n-up

printing, and scaling pages

 Performing Easy Set driver preferences

The drivers are available in English, French, Italian, German, Czech,
Polish, Slovak, Hungarian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian),
Japanese (Kanji), Korean, Chinese - simplified, and Chinese - traditional
languages.

The magicolor 5440 DL driver for Macintosh
offers easy-to-navigate drop-down selections.

28

Status Display

The Status Display provides detailed information about the printer
including current levels for consumables and explanations of any errors
that may occur. This helpful utility resides as an icon on the desktop and
can be activated with a simple double-click. The Status Display utility is
available for Windows operating systems only.

PageScope Web Connection

The magicolor 5440 DL includes an embedded web page that allows
users to easily retrieve real-time information about the status of the
printer. This feature is called PageScope Web Connection and requires
no additional software application on users’ computers other than their
existing web browser.

PageScope Web Connection provides users with a simple way to find
the answers to questions like these about their printer:

 How much toner is left in the cartridges?

 Has my document printed yet?

 What’s the default setting of the printer?

The Status Display offers an easy way to view
general printer information and consumable levels.

29

PageScope Web Connection information is divided into three categories:

 System: This tab highlights the printer’s configuration, paper size

and media type loaded in each installed tray, network settings,
supply levels, and number of pages printed.

 Job: The Job tab displays information about the most recent print

jobs, including the job owner, status of the print job, and number
of pages printed.

 Print: This tab allows users to print a Configuration or test page,

or to print a menu map to more easily navigate the front panel.

PageScope Web Connection also provides a convenient Internet link to
the support pages for KONICA MINOLTA in the event of a problem with
the printer. PageScope Web Connection is another example of the com­mitment of KONICA MINOLTA to making color printing as simple as
possible for everyone.

PageScope Web Connection is supported through these browsers:

 Windows: Microsoft Internet Explorer (v5.5+), Netscape Navigator

(v7.0+)

 Macintosh: Microsoft Internet Explorer (v5.0+), Netscape

Navigator (v7.0+), Safari (v1.0+)

Check printer and print job status using your
Web browser.

Electronic Documentation

Included on the Software Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM are two
manuals users will find especially useful—the User’s Guide and the
Installation Guide. The documentation, developed using Adobe

®

Acrobat, is fully searchable for locating and viewing selected criteria on
screen or printing information as needed. As a CD-ROM-based tool, the
electronic documentation can easily be posted on a network server for
general users or network administrators to retrieve information on
demand.

Another advantage of the on-line documentation is the audio/video clips
of installation, operation, and troubleshooting actions, that give users a
step-by-step visual of common printer procedures.

Color Control

Get great color without great effort.

The magicolor 5440 DL is designed with the color novice in mind. The
printer features an internal color matching system that automatically
selects the proper color model based on the specific elements on any
given page. For more professional color users, the printer supports ICC
device profiles to more intricately adjust color. Lastly, the magicolor
5440 DL includes enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC)
so the printer will produce consistent color each and every print.

Automatic ICC-Based Color Matching

Resident within the magicolor 5440 DL’s printer driver is an ICC-based
color matching system that provides single-button controls for automatic
correction of color files. Using built-in ICC profiles and an sRGB color
space, this printer-resident system makes it as easy to get great color
from a PowerPoint presentation as it is from a desktop publishing appli­cation such as QuarkXPress. Its color matching methods are simple for
both inexperienced and professional color users to navigate.

When activated, users can choose from three different color rendering
methods (Perceptual, Colorimetric, and Saturation) for three different
page elements (images, graphics, and text).

 Perceptual - this is an ideal selection when printing photographic

images. It’s tuned to enhance images for high-quality prints.

 Colorimetric - this is the best choice when printing solid colors,

automatically making adjustments for consistent, predictable
output.

 Saturation - when bright colors are needed for text and graphics,

the Saturation selection is the right choice.

Consumers can also fine-tune color output with custom setting selec­tions available through the printer driver. Changing image contrast,
brightness, saturation, and sharpness is easy with convenient, slide-bar
adjustments.

33

ICC Device Profiles

For hands-on color management, nine (9) ICC color profiles are
included with the magicolor 5440 DL—three for each available resolu­tion (2400 x 600 dpi, 1200 x 600 dpi, and 600 x 600 dpi), one for each
rendering method (Perceptual, Colorimetric, and Saturation).

ICC Profiles

 2400 x 600 dpi — Perceptual

 2400 x 600 dpi — Colorimetric

 2400 x 600 dpi — Saturation

 1200 x 600 dpi — Perceptual

 1200 x 600 dpi — Colorimetric

 1200 x 600 dpi — Saturation

 600 x 600 dpi — Perceptual

 600 x 600 dpi — Colorimetric

 600 x 600 dpi — Saturation

Users printing with Windows ICM, Apple ColorSync, or through an appli­cation using ICC color matching will find the profiles helpful in adjusting
color to meet their specifications. Most users of separate color matching
software should choose the profiles that use Perceptual rendering.

Driver-based color matching selections are con­venient to access and use.

Fine tune output with slide-bar selections also in
the driver.

34

Enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC)

From day to day, and from one consumable change to the next, toner
density may change, ultimately affecting color consistency. To help
maintain color consistency and ensure predictable color without user
intervention, the magicolor 5440 DL automatically performs enhanced
Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC).

eAIDC occurs during these states:

 when the printer is turned on and a temperature or humidity

change has occurred

 at every 10th power up

 after printing 200 continuous pages (calibrates at the end of the

job)

 after a consumables change

 when requested from the front panel

eAIDC means consistent color on every print.

35

The magicolor 5440 DL is flexible in design with these available options:

 Automatic Duplexer: The magicolor 5440 DL can perform manual

duplexing by printing on one side of a page, turning it over and
printing on the other side. For more convenient two-sided printing,
an automatic duplexer is available. It installs on the right hand side
of the printer and adds very little width the the system.

 Lower Input Feeder: A 500-sheet lower input feeder is available for

the magicolor 5440 DL. Up to two feeders may be added, increasing
input to the printer’s capacity of 1,600 sheets. The feeders accept
media up to legal size (8.5" x 14") and attach conveniently under the
standard input cassette.

 Memory: The magicolor 5440 DL has one open DIMM slot that

accepts up to 512 MB RAM available exclusively from KONICA
MINOLTA. Memory is available in 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB incre­ments. This additional memory can improve the printer’s
performance, especially when used in a network environment with
the optional duplexer or camera-direct photo printing feature
installed.

 Printer Cabinet: A cabinet for convenient storage of media and sup-

plies is available for the magicolor 5440 DL. The cabinet has a
caster base which makes it easy to move the magicolor 5440 DL
from place to place.

 Camera-Direct Photo Printing Card: This card activates the USB 1.1

port and direct print menu options, enabling the user to print pictures
directly from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera.
