Using Media 2
Introduction This chapter provides information on handling, selecting, and storing media. Refer to the Maintenance Guide for media specifications. Media Handling Before purchasing a large quantity or special media, do a trial printing with the same media and check print quality. Check with our web site www.minolta-qms.com for a list of current approved media. Attention Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print quality, media jams, or damage to the printer.
Media Types Plain Paper Formatting Format data within your application. Input Upper and Optional Trays 500 sheets of 20 lb bond (75 g/m²) paper (letter/A4/legal) each; capacity for other weights varies accordingly. Multipurpose Tray 150 sheets of 20 lb bond (75 g/m²) paper; capacity for other weights varies accordingly.
Type Any standard or recycled office paper suitable for plain-paper laser printers, such as Hammermill Laser Print Georgia-Pacific Microprint Laser 1000 Neusiedler Color Copy 90 Xerox 4024 Weight 16–24 lb bond (60–90 g/m²) Duplexing Upper and Optional Trays Face down—top of page toward the right Multipurpose Tray Face up—top of page toward the printer side Notes Check your application documentation for other information about printing on letterhead and memo media.
Envelopes Formatting Your printer receives the instructions to print on envelopes from your application. Print on the front side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of three layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these layered regions may be lost or faded. See your application documentation for specific information on printing envelopes.
Notes Avoid using labels with exposed adhesive; it may stick to the transfer belt or the fuser roller, causing labels to peel off and media jams to occur. Adhesive label stock is supported only in letter or A4 sheets. A label 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 adhesive should come through on the surface.
Input Location Upper and Optional Trays Multipurpose tray Capacity Up to 50 sheets, depending on the thickness of the transparencies If you have problems feeding 50 sheets, try loading only 5–10 sheets at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at a time may cause static buildup, thus causing feeding problems. Orientation Type Upper and Optional Trays Face up Multipurpose Tray Face down Use any full-color transparencies (also known as OHP film) that meet normal photocopier standards.
Loading Media Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 250 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup for the paper before inserting it in a tray. Attention Always load the media short edge first. Attention Do not mix media of different sizes, types, or weights, as this will cause printer jamming. When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.
If you are printing duplex from the upper or optional tray, load the media printing-side down with the top of the media (or letterhead or memo information) toward the right side of the tray. If you are printing duplex from the multipurpose tray, load the media printing-side up with the top of the media toward the printer. Set the driver, for example: 1 In the printer driver, make sure you have selected Duplexer and clicked on the Add button.
3 Adjust the media guides to fit the size paper you’re loading. Squeeze the retainers, move the guides to the appropriate location (media sizes are listed on the tray), and release the retainers. The media should fit easily between the guides. 4 Load the paper face-up, short edge toward the right of the tray. Often, an arrow on the media package label indicates the printing-side of the media. Do not overfill the tray. A fill limit mark is provided on the inside of the tray.
Make sure that the paper fits easily between the guides and the paper corners are under the left and right media-separating tabs and are not bent. Attention Always readjust the media guides after inserting the media. Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage. 5 Slide the tray back into the printer. If you have removed the tray from the printer, slightly tilt up the tray to insert it into the installation rails to slide it back in.
Multipurpose Tray Page sizes other than letter, A4, and legal can be printed only from the multipurpose tray (also known as tray 1). Use the printer driver to set the page size. Other special types of media (such as thick stock, transparencies, and envelopes) are also fed from the multipurpose tray. See “Media Specifications” in the Maintenance Guide for more information about media. 1 Open the multipurpose tray on the right side of the printer. 2 Open the media support.
Load the media face down, short edge toward the printer. Often, an arrow on the paper package label indicates the face-up (printing) side of the paper. FA C DO E WN 3 A fill limit mark is provided on the inside of the media guides on the multipurpose tray. The multipurpose tray holds 150 sheets of 20 lb bond (75 g/m²) paper. 4 Adjust the media guides to fit the size media you’re loading. LTR LG . EXE L. . A5 B5 A4 Attention Always adjust the media guides after inserting the media.
Printing Envelopes from the Multipurpose Tray 1 2 3 4 Flex the envelope stack (including the edges) to remove any stiffness. Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners. Correct any bent corners, and then tap the envelopes on a flat surface to align them. Place the envelope stack into the multipurpose tray with the flap-side up. Check your application documentation to determine if the flap should be placed on the left or on the right.
Printing Area The printing area on all media sizes is up to about 0.157 inch (4 mm) from the edges of the media. 4 mm 4 mm 4 mm Media Storage 4 mm When storing media, avoid: Direct sunlight Excess heat and humidity Dust 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.
Printer Driver Configuration 3

Maintaining the Printer 4
Introduction Keeping the printer clean and updated with the latest system software allows you to take full advantage of printer features and capabilities. This chapter describes how to clean the printer and how to update the system software. Printer Care Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause damage and void your warranty.
Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printer’s surface; the spray could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits. Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents, (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer. Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small area of your printer to check the solution's performance. Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads.
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. Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in the printer. See chapter 8, “Repacking the Printer,” for printer storing and shipping instructions. Cleaning You should perform a thorough cleaning every 30,000 single-sided pages or 12 months, whichever comes earlier.

Alos make sure that you remove transparencies from the output tray immediately to avoid static buildup, and that you load the media (for single-sided pages) printing-side up in the upper or optional trays or printing-side down in the multipurpose tray. Many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side. Automatic Jam Recovery The magicolor 2200 DeskLaser provides automatic jam recovery (when enabled through the Engine/Error Recovery menu).
Understanding the Media Path Understanding the printer’s media path will help you locate media jams. Media exit unit Output tray OPC drum cartridge Fuser Duplex unit (optional) Transfer belt Multipurpose tray Media tray Lower feeder unit tray (optional) Simplex Duplex Media Tray The media tray(s) is (are) located at the bottom front of the printer.
Multipurpose Tray The multipurpose tray is located at the right of the printer. The media is picked from the multipurpose tray, passed under the OPC drum cartridge and the transfer belt, passed through the fuser, and delivered via the paper exit unit to the output tray on top of the printer.
Clearing Media Jams To avoid damage, always remove jammed media gently, without tearing it. Any pieces of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the paper path and cause further jams. Do not reload media that has jammed. Attention 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 jammed media.
Clearing Misfeed (Upper or Optional Tray) Jams 1 Remove the media tray(s). 2 Carefully remove and dispose of the jammed media. 3 Remove any media remaining in the media tray(s) and even up the front edges. 4 Reinsert the media printing face up.

What's in the Kit? The BuzzBox kit contains the following items: BuzzBox Interface box RJ-11 cable Power adapter Adhesive-backed clips Installing BuzzBox 1 2 If you have a cable attached to the printer’s parallel port, unplug it from the printer. Attach one end of the parallel cable on the interface box to the printer’s parallel port. The BuzzBox’s ribbon cable is designed to be directly attached to the printer’s parallel port, not to an adapter or an additional cable.
5 Use the adhesive-backed clips provided to mount the BuzzBox where the printer operator can see and/or hear it. A 14-foot (4.2 m) cable is provided, but you can use up to a 500-foot cable (RJ-11 4-pin or 6-pin). 6 Connect the interface box to an electrical outlet. A 110/220-volt adaptor is provided in the US, and a universal power supply is provided outside the US. 7 If you unplugged a parallel cable from the printer in step 1, attach the cable to the parallel port on the interface box.
Antistatic Protection Attention It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and any associated daughterboard or module from electrostatic damage while performing any task involving the controller board. 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 any convenient electrical ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the back of a computer, that is plugged in but turned off).
Installation Attention It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and the DIMM from electrostatic damage. Before performing this procedure, review the antistatic caution on page 151. Always handle circuit boards by the edges only. 1 Ensure that the printer is turned off and the power cord and all interface cables are disconnected. 2 Remove the printer’s controller board. Loosen five screws and, using the tab on the top of the connector panel, pull the controller board from the printer.

water pipes, refrigerators, and any strong electromagnetic field (such as that created by an air conditioner), open flames, or items that can easily burn, or items that produce excessive vibration. If the printer is located in a cold room that is rapidly heated, or if the printer is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur within the printer, degrading print quality. If this occurs, allow the printer to adapt to the environment for about one hour before use. Away from water.
Computer Requirements Printer performance depends upon the type of computer to which you connect it. We recommend a Pentium-class computer with at least 16 MB of RAM (if you’re using Windows Me/98/95) or 32 MB of RAM (if you’re using Windows 2000/NT4). ENERGY STAR Compliance All models of the magicolor 2200 are compliant with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR regulations.
