Media Specifications
Media Types
Before purchasing a large quantity of special media, do a trial print with the
same media and check the print quality.
Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it. For a list of approved media, refer to printer.konicaminolta.com.

Note
Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print
quality, media misfeeds, or damage to the printer.
DO NOT use media that is
Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, digitally glosscoated media, and colored paper that has been treated)

"
Do not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static electricity 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 8, 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.

Loading Media
How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the
stack to prevent static buildup before
inserting it in a tray.
"
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.

Duplexing
Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-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 (2-sided) printing can be done manually or can be done automatically
with the duplex option installed and selected.
Note
Only plain paper, 6090 g/m2 (1624 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See
Media Specifications on page 40.
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. If the duplex option is not installed and duplex job
is sent, the control panel will display DUPLEX UNIT NOT ATTACHED.
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
printing.
The following Duplex/Booklet settings are available.
If Short Edge Binding is selected, the pages will be laid
out to flip at the top.

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/m2
(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 packaging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

"
Install only new toner cartridges in your printer. If a used toner cartridge 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 Consumables
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.

Maintaining the
Printer
WARNING!
Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface
cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer;
otherwise the printer will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.
CAUTION
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 of the printer or removing media misfeeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot.
Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
Always close the printers covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibration.
Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until
it cools down.
76
Do not leave the printers covers open for any length of time, especially in
well-lit places; light may damage the drum cartridge.
Keep media in the output tray at a minimum level. If the media is stocked
too high, your printer may experience media misfeeds and excessive
media curl.
"
CAUTION
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water
and consult a doctor.
Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you
plug in the printer.

Note
The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you
touch the printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be
careful not to touch the printed face when removing the misfed media.
Make sure not to spill any toner inside the printer.
CAUTION
Unfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on.
If you accidentally 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. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off
with cool water and a mild soap.
CAUTION
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water
and consult a doctor.
If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the control panel
window persists, open and close the printers top cover. This should clear the
misfeed message.

Antistatic Protection
Note
Before opening and handling the dual in-line memory module (DIMM),
first touch a metal part of the printer to avoid an electrostatic charge
building up. When the DIMM is taken out of its conductive bag, hold it
by its edges to avoid touching the electronic circuits. When handling
the DIMM, be sure to place it on an anti-static mat or a piece of
aluminum foil.
116
Introduction
"
You may need additional memory (DIMM) for complex graphics, and
for duplex printing.
A dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is a compact circuit board with surface-mount memory chips.
Your printer comes with 32 MB SDRAM printer memory on board. However,
you can upgrade to a maximum of 544 MB of RAM through the installation
of an additional unbuffered SDRAM DIMM. Your printer comes with one free
DIMM slot.

Installing a DIMM
Note
Its very important to protect the printer controller board and any
associated circuit boards from electrostatic damage. Before performing
this procedure, review the antistatic caution on Page 116. In addition,
always handle circuit boards by the edges only.
Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and interface cables.
