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.
In addition, if “N-up” has been set to “Booklet”, autoduplex printing is performed. The following Order settings are available when “Booklet” is selected. If “Left Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a left-bound booklet. 2 1 1 If “Right Binding” is selected, the pages can be folded as a right-bound booklet. 1 2 3 3 3 1 2 3 1 Load plain paper into the tray.

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. # Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above 35°C [95°F]), and dust.
Replacing Consumables 7
Replacing Consumables Note Failure to follow instructions as outlined in this manual could result in voiding your warranty. Note If an error message (TONER EMPTY, TRANS.BELT END OF LIFE, etc.) appears, print out the configuration page, and then check the status of the other consumables. For details on the error messages, refer to “Error Messages (Warning:)” on page 161. For details on printing the configuration page, refer to “Printing a Configuration Page” on page 128.
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. You can find your printer type and the toner cartridge part numbers on the consumables reorder label inside the front cover your printer.
Note 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.
Replacing a Toner Cartridge Note Be careful not to spill toner while replacing a toner cartridge. If toner spills, immediately wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. If TONER EMPTY on the SYS DEFAULT/TONER EMPTY menu is set to STOP, the message TONER EMPTY REPLACE X (where “X” represents the color of the toner) appears when a toner cartridge becomes empty.

Maintaining the Printer 8
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.
# 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 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. Cleaning the Printer CAUTION Be sure to turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
Media Rollers The accumulation of paper dust and other debris on the media rollers can cause media-feeding problems. Cleaning the Media Feed Rollers (Tray 2/3/4) 1 2 3 Pull out the tray. Clean the media feed rollers by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Close the tray.

Cleaning the Laser Lens This printer is constructed with four laser lenses. Clean all lenses as described below. The laser lens cleaning tool should be attached to the rear side of the printer. 1 2 3 Open the printer’s front cover. Align the marks at the bottom of the toner cartridge, insert the laser lens cleaning tool between the waste toner bottle and the yellow toner cartridge with the cleaning pad pointing down, and then slide it back and forth 2 or 3 times.
Troubleshooting 9
Introduction This chapter provides information to aid you in resolving printer problems you may encounter, or at least guide you to the proper sources for help.
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.
Understanding the Media Path Understanding the printer’s media path will help you locate media misfeeds.
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.

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 surface-mount memory chips. The printer, which has two memory slots, has a 256 MB memory module already installed in one of the slots. By using both slots, the memory can be expanded to a maximum of 1024 MB (512 MB + 512 MB).
3 4 172 Using a screwdriver, loosen the seven screws. (Do not remove them from the printer.) Slide the panel slightly to the right and lift it off the printer.
5 Insert 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 connector. If you cannot snap the DIMM into place, do not force it. Reposition it, making sure that the DIMM is seated completely in the connector. 6 7 8 9 10 11 Reinstall the panel and tighten the seven screws. Attach the rear cover. Reconnect all interface cables.
