Loading Media

Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 250 she ets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup for the paper before inserting it in a tray.

Attention

Always load the media short edge first.

Attention

Do not mix media of different sizes, types, or weights, as this will cause printer jamming.

When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the



new media, even the edges, then reload it. Although the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except pla in paper. Con tinuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely af fect print quality or reduce engine life.

For media other than standard plain paper or transparencies, both the driver (Paper



tab, Paper Type option) and the MP Size key on the control panel need to be selected.

It is important to use the MP Size key to set the multipurpose tray to the appropriat e media size in or der to obtain optimum printing re sults.

Autoduplexing

Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done automatic ally with the optional duplex unit installed.

 Only up to 28 lb bond (105 g/m²) plain paper can be duplexed.

Loading Media40

If you are printing duplex from the upper or optional tray, load the media printing-side down with the top of the media (or letterhead or memo informat ion) toward the right side of the tray. If you are printing duplex from the multipurpose tray, load the media printing-sid e up with the top of the media toward the printer . Set the driver, for example:

In the printe r driver, make sure you have selected Duplexer and clicked on the

Add button. In the printer driver, select Simplex (one-sided pages), or Long Edge (flipped hori-

zontally as in a loose-lea f notebook), or Short Edge (fli pped vertically as on a clipboard) as the Duplex option.

Click OK.

Upper and Optional Media Trays

Slide the media tray open.

Push the media pr essure plate down to lock it in

position.

Loading Media 41

Adjust the media guides to fit the size paper you’re loading.

Squeeze the retainers, move the guides to the appropriate location (media sizes are listed on the tray), and release the retainers. The media should fit easily between the guides.

Load the paper face-up, short edge toward the

right of the tray.

Often, an arrow on the media package label indicates the printing-side of the media.

Do not overfill the tray.

A fill limit mark is provided on the inside of the tray. The media tray holds 500 sheets of 20 lb bond (75 g/m²) paper.

Loading Media42

Make sure that the paper fits easily between the guides and the paper corners ar e under the left and right media-separating tabs and are not bent.

Attention

Always readjust the media gui des afte r inserting the media. Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage.

Printing Envelopes from the Multipurpose Tray

Flex the envelope stack (inc luding the edges) to remove any stiffness.

Place the e nvelopes on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners.

Correct any bent corners, and then tap the envelopes on a flat surface to align them.

Place the envelope stack int o the multipurpose tray with the flap-side up.

Check your application docume ntation to determi ne if the flap should be placed on the left or on the right. Print a single enve lope to check the orientation befor e printing multiple copies.

Adjust the media guides to the width of the envelopes.

Make sur e the guide s ar e snug enough to ke ep the en velopes s traigh t, but not so ti ght that they buckle the envelope s.

Open the flap of each envelope immediately (before it cools) after the envelope is

delivered to the output tray.

Configuring the Printer Driver 53

 You should configure your printer driver settin gs via the printer device prope rties and

document defaults properties for your typical print jobs and use your application’s printer setup method for print jobs that require special, less frequently needed print er settings.

 Because Windows NT remembers the conf iguration change s you make to the driv er,

reinstalling the driver does not restore the fac tory default configuration.

Five tabs appear in the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser Properties window through the Start menu: General, Ports, Colo r Managemen t, Sche duling, Sharing, and Security. The tabs and a summary of the options found on each are as follows:

 General—Allows you to name the printer, specify a location, specify a driver to be

used, install a new or updated printer driver, use a separator pa ge between documents, specify a specializ ed print processor/data type, and print a test page. See your Windows documentation.

 Ports—Lists the available ports (under Ports), the associated port monitor (under

Description), and a comma-delim ited list of printers that use the port (under Printer). Allows you to add, delete, or confi gure por ts. It also allows the printer to get setting and status informati on from other printing devices, and enables printer pooling (printing to two or more identical printing devices through one logical printer). See your Windows documentation.

 Color Management—Allows you to select the color profile associated with your

printer or allow the op erating syste m to make t he selecti on for you. See you r Win dows documentation.

 Scheduling (Windows NT 4.0) or Advanced (Wi ndows 2000)—Allows you to con-

figure the printer for availability, set spooling information, and define default document printing priority. See your Windows documenta tion.

 Sharing—Allows you to share the print er and ins tall alternate drivers. See your Win-

dows documentation.

 Security —Allows you to modify the permissions to limit access on the printer , view

or set auditing information, or view or take ownership of the selected item(s). See your Windows doc umentation.

Configuring the Printer Driver54

The Paper, Page Layout, Image, Device Options, and About tabs—accessible from your application’s printer setup and from document default properties are explained in the “32-bit SuperDriver Setup,” section that follows.

Sharing the Printer

The magicolor 2200 DeskLaser may be shared via two communication protocols:

 Ethernet

Refer to your Windows online help for information about printer sharing. W indows NT4/Me/98/95 users who intend to print over a network us ing TCP/ IP need to install the Cr own Print Monitor (Windows 2000 users can use the print monitor that comes with the operating system) .

 Parallel

Refer to your Wi ndows online help for information on sharing printers and file s. See “Plug and Play Printer Driver Inst allation,” in the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser Installation Guide for installation instruc tions.

Sharing the Printer 75

Using the Crown Print Monitor

The Crown Print Monitor (CROWNMON) for Wi ndows is des igned specifically for MINOLTA-QMS printe rs using TCP/IP protocol to transport print jobs and to access printer status infor mation.

The Crown Print Monitor’ s Print Spooler (both workstation and server versions) controls the printing environ ment for both loc al and remote print jobs submitted through shared resources via TCP/IP. The Print Spooler “monitors” or “despoolers” are configured to service print jobs in a pa rticular queue.

Components

 Status component

This component obtains information from the printer, such as print job “go/nogo” and error or warni ng conditions. Status information displays in Print Manager thr ough the print queue status dialog box. Status info rmation comes from either the W indows Print Spooler, the Cr ow n Print Monitor, or the print er, depending on whe r e the job is in the printing process . See chapter 5,“Troubleshooting,”for more information on status messages.

 Send comp onent

 The Crown Print Monitor uses TCP/IP socket 35 for hi gh-p erformance data transfer.

This component transports print jobs to a specific MINOLTA-QMS print device. When a job is sent to a print device by the Crown Print Monitor, it utilizes all allocated W indows operati ng system resources to trans port the job. If a connection is broken while a job is being transported, the monitor gives control back to th e P r in t Monitor Print Spooler. Any job sent to the printe r while it is recovering from the break in communication is flushed from the Windows print queue.

 Configuration component

This component c onfigures the port name, Internet address, time delays, and problem sound alert. It consists of the Add MINOLTA-QMS Port and Configure MINOLTA-QMS Port dialog boxes. All configuration changes made via this component are automatically recorded in the Windows system registry.

Using the Crown Print Monitor76

Maintaining the Printer

Introduction

Keeping the printer clean and updated with the latest system software allows you to take full advantage of printer features and capabilities. This chapter describes how to clean the printer and how to update the system software.

Printer Care

Handle the printer with care to prese rve its life. Abuse may cause damage and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or outside of the printer, printer performanc e and pri nt quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the following guidelines in mind:

When cleaning the printer, always turn it off (O) and unplug it. Disconnect all



interface cables be fore cleaning inside the printer.

If you have an optional 5-bin mailbox installed, turn the printer off first, then turn off the mailbox.

Either clean the printe r bef ore use, or allow time after unplugging it to allow the



fuser unit to cool down.

Attention

The fuser unit is hot. When the top cover is opened, the fuser unit temperature drops gradually (one hour wait time).

Be careful when cleaning the inside or removing paper jams, as the fuser unit and



other internal parts may become very hot. Do not place anything on the top of the printer.



Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.



WARNING!

Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise, the printer will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.

Introduction80

Never spray cleaning solu tion directly on the printer’s surface; the spray could pene-



trate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits. Avoid using abrasive or corr osive solutions or solutions tha t contain solvents, ( such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.

Always test any cleaning solu tion (such as mild detergent) on a small area of your



printer to c heck the solution's performance. Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads.



Always close the printer cover s gen tly. Never expose the printer to vibrations.



Do not put a cover on the p rinte r immediat ely after using it. Turn it off and wait until it



cools down. Do not leave the printer’ s co vers open for any length of time, especially in well-lit



places; light may damage the OPC drum cartridge. Do not open the printer during printing.



Do not tap paper stacks on the printer.



Do not tilt, lubricate, or disa ssemble the printer.



Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser beam devices. Doing so may dam-



age the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate. Keep media in the output tray at minimum level. If the media stacks too high, your



printer may experienc e media jams and excessive media curl. Lift the printer from the bottom only, using the carrying grips and the carrying bar s.



Make sure two people are available to lift the printer when moving it.

When moving the printer, keep the printer level to avoid toner spillage.

If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with cool water and neutral detergent.



WARNING!

If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information can be found at www.minolta-qms. com (click on the Answer Base).

Printer Care 81

Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any instructions



contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of the printer’s covers and the interior of the printe r body.

Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in



the printer.

See

chapter 8, “Repacking the Printer,”

Cleaning

You should perform a thorough cleaning every 30,000 single-sided pages or 12 months, whichever co m es earli er.

Always test any c leaning solut ion (suc h as a mild deter gent) on a s mall area of your print er to check the solution’s performance.
