Safety precautions
To use the printer safely
If you DO NOT follow these safety instructions, there is a possibility of a fire, electrical shock, burn or suffocation. Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any maintenance.
WARNING
There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer, make sure that you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.
DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.
Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.
This product must be installed near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of an emergency, you must disconnect the power cord from the AC power outlet to shut off the power completely.
Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line, or unplug the cords during a lightning storm.
Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
ii 
DO NOT use this product to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord provided with the machine.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging of your machine. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children.
DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or an organic solvent/liquid containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may cause a fire or electrical shock. See Cleaning on page 101 for how to clean the machine.
DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner dust to ignite inside the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Carefully clean the toner dust with a dry, lint-free cloth and dispose of it according to local regulations.
Cleaning the outside of the printer:
Make sure that you have unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.
Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the outside surface of the printer.
DO NOT use cleaning materials that contain ammonia.
iii 
CAUTION
After you have just used the printer, some internal parts of the printer will be extremely hot. To prevent injury, when you open the front cover or back cover (back output tray) of the printer, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration. If you do this, you may get burned.
Inside the printer (Front View) |
Open the back cover (Back View) |
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area.
DO NOT place the machine near heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, water, chemicals or devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.
DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, salty or corrosive gasses, moisture, or dust.
DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply.
DO NOT put objects on top of the machine.
DO NOT use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, washing machine, or in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
iv 
Note
DO NOT remove or damage the caution label located on or around the fuser.

About this Printer
Positioning the printer
1
Read the following before you use the printer.
Power supply
Use the printer within the recommended power range.
Power source: USA and Canada: AC 110 to 120 V, 50/60 Hz
Europe and Australia: AC 220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz
The power cord, including extensions, should be no longer than 5 meters (16.5 feet).
Do not share the same power circuit with other high-powered appliances, such as an air conditioner, copier, shredder and so on. If you cannot avoid using the printer with these appliances, we recommend that you use a voltage transformer or a high-frequency noise filter.
Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable.
Environment
Put your printer on a flat, stable surface such as a desk that is free of vibration and shocks.
Put the printer near an AC power outlet, so that it can be easily unplugged from the AC power outlet if there is an emergency.
Only use the printer within the following ranges of temperature and humidity: Temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% (without condensation)
Use the printer in a well-ventilated room.
DO NOT put the printer where the ventilation hole of the printer is blocked. Keep a gap of roughly 100 mm (4 in.) between the ventilation hole and the wall.
DO NOT expose the printer to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
DO NOT put the printer near devices that contain magnets or produce magnetic fields.
DO NOT expose the printer to open/naked flames or salty or corrosive gasses.
DO NOT put objects on top of the printer.
DO NOT put the printer near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators.
Keep the printer horizontal when you carry it.

Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.
Use paper that is made for plain-paper copying.
Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb).
Use neutral paper. Do not use acidic or alkaline paper.
Use long-grain paper.
Use paper with a moisture content of approximately 5%.
This printer can use recycled paper that meets DIN 19309 specifications.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use ink jet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your printer.
If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the printer.
DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
Note
•Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the printer's fusing process (200 degrees centigrade).
•If you use bond paper, paper having a rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.
To help you choose which paper to use with this printer, see Important information for choosing your paper on page 137.

Printing Methods
Types of envelopes
Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes may have feed and print quality problems due to the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, wellcreased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two pieces of paper. The envelope should lie 2 flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are what you want.
KONICA MINOLTA does not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the envelope specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of the envelopes you use.
DO NOT use damaged, curled, wrinkled, irregularly shaped, extremely shiny or textured envelopes.
DO NOT use envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, self-adhesive components, windows, holes, cutouts or perforations.
DO NOT use envelopes that are of a baggy construction, not sharply creased, embossed (have raised writing on them) or pre-printed on the inside.
DO NOT use envelopes that were previously printed by a laser printer.
DO NOT use envelopes that cannot be arranged when put in a pile.
DO NOT use envelopes that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the printer.
DO NOT use envelopes that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or consistently square.
If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your printer. This damage is not covered under any KONICA MINOLTA warranty or service agreement.
Note
•DO NOT print envelopes using duplex printing.
•You must choose the same paper size from your application as the paper in the tray.
