tricity may cause printing errors.

" If you touch the face of the transparencies with your bare hands, print

quality may be affected.

" Keep the printer path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to

a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom of the sheets, see chapter 7, “Maintaining the Printer” .

" Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to

avoid static buildup.

You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing environment.

Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement.

What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?

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 specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.

This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the 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.

Printable

a = 4 mm (0.157")

Area

" When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is

17.0 mm (0.669").

" When printing on glossy stock, the top margin is 10 mm (0.394").

Imageable Area—Envelopes

Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope type.

" The envelope

print orientation is determined by your application.

Nonimageable area 4 mm (0.157")

Nonguaranteed area

Guaranteed

area

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 cus tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

Media Types58

Loading Media

How do I load media?

Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx imately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before 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.

Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray)

For details on the types and sizes of media that can be printed from Tray 1, refer to “Media Specifications” on page 50.

Duplexing

Select paper with high opacity for duplex (double 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 (Double sided) printing can be done automatically with the duplex option installed and selected.

Note

Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See “Media Specifications” on page 50.

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.

The following Binding Position settings are available.

Duplexing

If “Short Edge” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip

at the top.

If “Long Edge” is selected, the pages will be laid out to flip at the sides.

In addition, if “N-up” has been set to “Booklet”, autoduplex printing is performed.

The following Order settings are available when “Booklet” is selected.

If “Left Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a left-bound booklet.

If “Right Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a right-bound booklet.

1 Load plain paper into the tray. 2 From the printer driver, specify the layout for duplex printing. 3 Click OK.

" With autoduplexing, the back side is printed first, and then the front

side is printed.

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.

" Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to

avoid static buildup.

Media Storage

How do I store media?

 Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to

load it.

Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding.

 If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack-

aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

 Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above

35°C [95°F]), and dust.

 Avoid media leaning against other objects or placing it in an upright posi-

tion.

Before using stored media, do a trial print and check print quality.

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 status in the Status Display will not be updated.

" 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.

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 Consumables76

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

Keep toner cartridges:

 In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.

 In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).

The maximum storage temperature is 35° C (95° F) and the maximum storage humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for about one hour before use.

 Level during handling and storage.

Do not hold, stand or store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.

 Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.
