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.

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 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.

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.

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.
