Labels

A sheet of labels consists of a face sheet (the printing surface), adhesive, and

a carrier sheet:

The face sheet must follow the plain paper specification.

The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier sheet, and no adhe-

sive should come through on the surface.

You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the

media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If

problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.

Format label data within your application. Try printing your data on a sheet of

plain paper first to check placement. Check your application documentation

for more information on printing labels.

Transparencies

" Do not fan transparencies before loading them. Resulting static elec-

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 envi-

ronment.

Format the information to be printed on the transparencies within your appli-

cation. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check place-

ment.

Media Types 39

" If you have problems feeding 20 sheets, try loading only 1–10 sheets

at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may

cause static buildup, thus causing feeding problems.

Use transparencies that are

Approved for laser printing

DO NOT use transparencies that

Have static electricity that will cause them to stick together

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 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 mm (0.157") from

all edges of the media.

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-

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.

Duplexing54

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, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb) can be autoduplexed. See

“Media Specifications” on page 32 for supported sizes.

Duplexing envelopes, labels, postcards, thick stock, or transparencies

is not supported.

How do I autoduplex?

You should verify that the duplex option is physically installed on the printer to

have the job duplex successfully. 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.

Media Storage56

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 against other objects or placing it in an upright position.

Before using stored media, do a trial printing 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.

" 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 Consumables60

Note

Do not hold a toner cartridge

vertically.

Do not touch the OPC drum

surface. This could lower image

quality.

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 storage.

Do not 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.

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 may cause damage

and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or out-

side 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 right side 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 solution 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 81

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 the printer, grasp

the areas shown in the figure to

the right.

Even if an optional lower feeder

unit is installed, be sure to lift the

printer as shown below. Do not

grasp the grip of Tray 2, 3 or the

Preventing Media Misfeeds 89

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 that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media mis-

feeds, and printer damage).

You load the media printing-side up in the tray (many 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 250-sheet capacity—

misfeeding may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 250

sheets at one time).

Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

Understanding the Media Path90

Understanding the Media Path

Understanding the printer’s media path will help you locate media misfeeds.

Clearing Media Misfeeds 91

Clearing Media Misfeeds

To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any

pieces 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 print 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.

Accessories

Introduction126

Introduction

Note

Use of accessories not manufactured or supported by

KONICA MINOLTA will void your warranty.

" This chapter provides information about the following accessories.

Note

Installing accessories always requires that the printer and accessories

are turned off and unplugged during installation.

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.

Dual In-Line

512 MB DIMM (Buffered)

Duplex Option Auto duplexing

Lower Feeder Unit 500-sheet tray included

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM) 127

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)

" You may need additional memory (DIMM) for complex graphics, and

for duplex printing.

Dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is compact circuit board with sur-

face-mount memory chips.

Your printer comes with 64 MB SDRAM printer memory on board. However,

you can upgrade to a maximum of 512 MB of RAM through the installation

of an additional DIMM. Additional memory must be 512 MB DIMM. Your

printer comes with one free DIMM slot.

Installing a DIMM

Note

It’s 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 126. In addition,

always handle circuit boards by the edges only.

1Turn off the printer and discon-

nect the power cord and inter-

face cables.

2Using a screwdriver, remove the

screw. Then, slide the rear cover

to the right and remove it.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)128

3Using a screwdriver, loosen the

seven screws. (Do not remove

them from the printer.)

4Slide the panel slightly to the

right and lift it off the printer.

Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM) 129

5Insert the new DIMM straight

into the DIMM connector until

the latches snap into the locked

position.

Observe the keyed side of the

DIMM to align it with the connec-

tor. If you cannot snap the DIMM

into place, do not force it. Repo-

sition it, making sure that the

DIMM is seated completely in

the connector.

6Reinstall the panel and tighten the seven screws.

7Attach the rear cover.

8Reconnect all interface cables.

9Reconnect the power cord, and

turn on the printer.

10 Print a configuration page (SPECIAL PAGES/PRINT CONFIG PAGE

MENU) and verify that the total size of the RAM installed in your printer is

listed.

Duplex Option130

Duplex Option

Duplex (2-sided) printing can be performed automatically with the duplex

option and enough memory installed. See “Duplexing” on page 54.

Installing the Duplex Option

1Turn off the printer.

2Remove the cover on the right

side cover.

Duplex Option 131

3Remove the door at the side of

the right side cover.

4Prepare the duplex option.

check that the knob is

positioned as shown in

the illustration. Then,

close the duplex cover.

5Attach the duplex option, as

shown in the illustration.

Duplex Option132

6Open the duplex cover, and then

turn both knobs counterclock-

wise until they are horizontal to

secure the duplex option to the

right side cover.

7Pull the lever, open the right side

cover, and then attach the sup-

port wire for the duplex option to

the printer.

8Close the right side cover.

9Install the duplex unit in the driver (Device Options Setting tab).

Installing the Lower Feeder Unit

Note

Since consumables are installed in the printer, be sure to keep the

printer level when moving it in order to prevent accidental spills.

1Turn off the printer and discon-

nect the power cord and inter-

face cables.

Lower Feeder Unit134

2Prepare the lower feeder unit.

" Be sure to place the lower feeder unit on a level surface.

3Open the right side cover of the

lower feeder unit.

" The right side cover of the lower feeder must be opened before the

feeder can be installed onto the printer.

4With another person’s help,

place the printer on top of the

lower feeder unit, making sure

that the positioning pins on the

lower feeder unit correctly fit into

the holes on the bottom of the

printer.

" If two lower feeder units are to be installed, stack the two lower

feeder units and secure them together before installing them to the

printer.

WARNING!
