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.

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.
If “Long Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid out

has a capacity of 250 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 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 Printer80
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
right side cover; otherwise, the
lower feeder unit may be dam-
aged.

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
Memory Module
(DIMM)
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.

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.
