What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?
The printable area on all media sizes is
up to 4.2 mm (0.165") from the edges
of the media.
Each media size has a specific image-
able 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 4.2 mm (0.165")
from all edges of the media.
" When printing on Banner Paper, the bottom margin is 10 mm (0.393").
" Banner Paper
Length: 356 - 900 mm
Imageable Area—Envelopes
Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope
type.
" The envelope

tion is deter-
mined
by your appli-
cation.
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 imagea-
ble area for optimum results.

How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx-
imately 100 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.

Duplexing108
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 manually or can be done auto-
matically with the duplex option installed and selected. For installing the
duplex, refer to “Installing the Duplex” on page 205.
Note
For details on supported media types for duplex printing, see “Media
Specifications” on page 84.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, thick paper3 or transparencies is not
supported.
" Duplex printing can be performed with enough memory (no less than
256 MB) installed in the printer.
How do I autoduplex?
You should verify that the duplex is physically installed on the printer to suc-
cessfully duplex (double-sided) the job.
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex
(double-sided) printing.

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 leaning media against other objects or placing it in an upright posi-
tion.
Before using stored media, do a trial print to check print quality.

About toner cartridge
This printer uses a toner cartridge that includes the toner and the photosensi-
tive drum. If the output image is light or blurred, the toner cartridge may be
defective or damaged. In that case, you need to replace it with a new one.
" Handle the toner cartridge carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the
printer or on yourself.
" Install only a new toner cartridge in your printer. If a used toner car-
tridge is installed, the indicator message will not clear and the supplies
status in the Status Monitor 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.
Replacing Consumables 115
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 an unapproved toner cartridge will void your warranty. No
technical support is provided to recover from these problems.
When replacing a toner cartridge, refer to the following table. For optimum
print quality and performance, use only approved KONICA MINOLTA toner
cartridge for your specific printer type, as listed in the table below. You can
find your printer type and the toner cartridge part numbers on the consum-
ables reorder label inside the front cover your printer.
" For optimum print quality and performance, use only the corre-
sponded TYPE genuine KONICA MINOLTA toner cartridge.
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 a cartridge on its ends or turn it upside down;
the toner inside the cartridge may become caked or unequally distributed.
Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.

Maintaining the Printer
CAUTION
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 printer body.
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse handling may cause
damage and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the
inside or outside of the printer, printer performance and print quality will suffer,
so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the following guidelines in
mind.
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 rear 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 mis-
feeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot.
Do not place anything on top of the printer.
Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.
Never spray cleaning solutions directly on the printer’s surface; the spray
could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the inter-
nal circuits.
Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain sol-
vents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small
inconspicuous area of your printer to check the solution’s performance.
Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning
pads.
Always close the printer’s covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibra-
tion.
Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until
it cools down.
Maintaining the Printer 139
Do not leave the printer’s covers open for any length of time, especially in
well-lit places; light may damage the toner cartridges.
Do not open the printer during printing.
Do not tap media stacks on the printer.
Do not lubricate or disassemble the printer.
Do not tilt the printer.
Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so
may damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate.
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.
Make sure two people are avail-
able to lift the printer when mov-
ing it.
Keep the printer level to avoid
toner spillage.
When lifting up the printer, push
the tray 1/2 completely into the
printer and then lift the printer as
shown in the right figure.
" If an optional lower feeder
unit is installed, remove it
before lifting the printer.
If you get toner 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.
Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you
plug in the printer.

Preventing Media Misfeeds 151
Preventing Media Misfeeds
Make sure that...
Media matches the printer specifications.
Media is flat, especially on the leading edge.
The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface.
You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.
You remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to
avoid static buildup.
You always adjust the media guides in the tray after inserting the media (a
guide not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, and
printer damage).
You load the media printing-side up in the tray (Some manufacturers place an
arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side).
Avoid...
Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking
together).
Fanning transparencies since this causes static.
Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
Overfilling the trays.
Allowing the output tray to overfill (the output tray has a 500-sheet capacity—
misfeeding may occur if you allow more than 500 sheets of media to accumu-
late at one time).
Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.
Understanding the Media Path152
Understanding the Media Path
Understanding the printer’s media path will help you locate media misfeeds.

Clearing Media Misfeeds 153
Clearing Media Misfeeds
To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any
piece of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the
media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not reload media that has misfed.
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 printer’s covers. This should clear the
misfeed message.

Antistatic Protection
Note
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board from
electrostatic damage while performing any task involving the controller
board.
Turn off all power switches first. If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in
your printer option kit, attach one end of it to your wrist and the other
end to the bare metal chassis on the back of your printer. Never attach
the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical current
present. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and telephones
are not acceptable grounding points.
If you don’t have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body’s static
electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any
printer boards or components. Also avoid walking around after
grounding yourself.

tions (coverage, paper size, etc.), differences in the printing method,
such as continuous printing or intermittent printing (when print jobs of
one page are often printed), or the type of paper used, for example,
thick paper. In addition, the life will be affected by the temperature and
humidity of the operating environment.
