Power cord
7 WARNING
Ignoring this warnings could cause serious injury or even death.
%Do not ignore this safety advices.
WarningSymbol
• Use only the power cord supplied in the package. If a power
cord is not supplied, only use the power cord and plug that
is specified in POWER CORD INSTRUCTION. Failure to use
this cord could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Use the power cord supplied in the package only for this machine and NEVER use it for any other product. Failure to observe this precaution could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist,
bend, pull on, or damage the power cord. Use of a damaged
power cord (exposed core wire, broken wire, etc.) could result in a fire or breakdown.

7 WARNING
Ignoring this warnings could cause serious injury or even death.
%Do not ignore this safety advices.
WarningSymbol
• Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do
that could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Connect power plug directly into wall outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Use of an adapter leads to the
product connecting to inadequate power supply (voltage,
current capacity, grounding), and may result in fire or shock.
If proper wall outlet is not available, the customer shall ask
qualified electrician for the installation.
• Do not use a multiple outlet adapter nor an extension cord in
principle. Use of an adapter or an extension cord could cause
a fire or electrical shock.
Contact your authorized service representative if an extension cord is required.

2.5Operation precautions
To ensure the optimum performance of this machine, observe the
precautions described below.
Power source
The power source requirements are as follows.
- Voltage fluctuation: Maximum ± 10% (at 110 V/120 to 127 V/220 to
240 V AC)
- Frequency fluctuation: Maximum ± 3 Hz (at 50 Hz/60 Hz)
– Use a power source with as little voltage or frequency fluctuations as
possible.
Operating environment
The environmental requirements for correct operation of the machine are as
follows.
- Temperature: 10°C (50°F) to 30°C (86°F) with fluctuations of no more than
10°C (18°F) within an hour
- Humidity: 15% to 85% with fluctuations of no more than 20% within an
hour
Storage of printed pages
To store printed pages, follow the recommendation listed below.
- Printed pages that are to be kept for a long time should be kept where
they are not exposed to light in order to prevent them from fading.
- Adhesive that contains solvent (e.g., spray glue) may dissolve the toner
on printed pages.
- Color printed pages have a thicker layer of toner than normal black-and-
white printed pages. Therefore, when a color printed page is folded, the
toner at the fold may peel off.

The default settings, which are those that are selected immediately after
the machine is turned on, can be changed. For details, refer to "Control
panel" on page 5-3.

The factory default settings are the settings that were selected when this
machine was sent from the factory.

The machine takes about 110 seconds to warm up at normal room
temperature (23°C).

Reminder
When the power switch is turned off, then on again, wait at least 10
seconds to turn it on after turning it off. If there is no wait period between
turning the power switch off, then on again, the machine may not function
properly.
Do not turn off the machine with the main power switch while it is making
printing, otherwise a paper misfeed may occur.
Do not turn off the machine with the power switch while a queued job or
stored data is waiting to be printed, otherwise the jobs will be deleted.

Installation and operation precautions
Automatically canceling the settings (automatic panel reset)
If no operation is performed for a specified length of time while settings are
being changed, settings that have not been programmed are cleared and
return to their defaults.
This is the automatic panel reset operation.
As the factory default, the automatic panel reset operation is performed after
1 minute.
!
Detail
The length of time until the automatic panel reset operation is performed
and whether or not it is performed can be set from the Utility mode. For
details, refer to "User Setting" on page 5-34.
Automatically conserving energy (Low Power mode)
If no operation is performed for a specified length of time the machine
automatically enters a mode where it conserves energy.
This is the Low Power mode.
The machine can receive jobs even while it is in Low Power mode.
As the factory default, the machine enters Low Power mode after 10 minutes.
2
2
Note
When a print job is received, the machine recovers from Low Power
mode and begins printing after it has finished warming up (within 30
seconds at normal room temperature (23°C)).
The Low Power mode can also be canceled by pressing any key in the
control panel.
!
Detail
The length of time until the machine enters Low Power mode can be
changed. For details, refer to "User Setting" on page 5-34.
bizhub C252P2-45

Installation and operation precautions
Automatically conserving energy (Sleep mode)
If no operation is performed for a specified length of time, the machine
automatically enters a mode where it conserves energy.
Although the machine conserves more energy in Sleep mode than in Low
Power mode, the machine must warm up when Sleep mode is canceled to
begin printing again, therefore taking more preparation time than Low Power
mode.
As the factory default, the machine enters Sleep mode after 15 minutes.
2
Note
When a print job is received, the machine recovers from Low Power
mode and begins printing after it has finished warming up (within 110
seconds at normal room temperature (23°C)).
The Sleep mode can also be canceled by pressing any key in the control
panel.
!
Detail
The length of time until the machine enters Sleep mode can be changed.
For details, refer to "User Setting" on page 5-34.
Power supply
Be sure to turn off the machine if it is not to be used for a long period of time,
for example, overnight.
In order to ensure that no energy is being consumed, unplug the machine.

2.8Connecting to a computer
Compatible interfaces
The various interfaces that can be used to connect this printer to a computer
are described below.
Ethernet interface
Connect when using this printing system as a network printer.
Supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards. In addition, the Ethernet
interface supports the TCP/IP (LDP/LPR, peer-to-peer), IPX/SPX (NetWare),
and AppleTalk (EtherTalk) protocols.
2
Parallel interface (optional
Connect when using this printing system as a local printer.
A computer running Windows and an IEEE 1284 parallel cable are required
for connection. Use a parallel cable that uses a terminal with an Amphenol
36-pin male connector.
The parallel interface supports the compatible, nibble, and ECP modes.
USB interface (optional)
Connect when using this printing system as a USB printer.
The USB interface can be connected to a computer running Windows. A
USB cable is required for connection. Use a type A (4 pin, male) or type B (4
pin, male) USB cable. A USB cable measuring 3 meters or less is
recommended.

Note
Be sure to restart the computer.
Even if the printer driver is deleted using the method described above,
the model information file will remain in the computer. Therefore, the
driver may not be able to be overwritten when reinstalling the same
version of the printer driver. When installing the same version of the
printer driver, be sure to also delete the files described below.
Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86" folder and
delete the folder of the corresponding model if it is available. If the Konica
Minolta PCL driver and Konica Minolta PostScript driver are both
installed, the model information of both drivers is deleted. If one driver is
remaining, do not delete it.
Delete the "oem*.inf" and "oem*.PNF" files in the "C:\WINDOWS\inf"
folder. (The asterisk (*) in the file name displays a number, and the
number varies according to the environment of the computer.) Before
deleting the files, open the INF file, check that the model name is
described in the last several lines, and then check that the file of the
corresponding model is available.
The PNF file is the same number as the INF file.
