Media Types Before purchasing a large quantity of special media, do a trial printing with the same media and check the print quality. Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. For a list of approved media, refer to printer.konicaminolta.com.
# Adhesive # Folded, creased, curled, embossed, warped, or wrinkled # Perforated, three-hole punched, or torn # Too slick, too coarse, or too textured # Different in texture (roughness) on the front and back # Too thin or too thick # Stuck together with static electricity # Composed of foil or gilt; too luminous # Heat sensitive or cannot withstand the fusing temperature (180°C [356°F]) # Irregularly shaped (not rectangular or not cut at right angles) # Attached with glue, tape, paper clips, staples, ribbo
Envelopes Print on the front (address) 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.
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 adhesive 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.
Letterhead Format letterhead data within your application. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. Capacity Tray 1 Up to 50 sheets, depending on their size and thickness Orientation Face up Driver Letterhead Media Type Weight 60 to 90 g/m² (16 to 24 lb bond) Postcards Format postcard data within your application.

Troubleshooting 7
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. 1 Output tray 2 Transfer belt unit 1 3 Toner cartridge carousel 2 4 Drum cartridge 3 5 Tray 1 4 6 Fuser unit 5 6 Indicator Messages The control panel indicators (Ready, Error) provide information about your printer and help you locate each problem. Error Messages These messages indicate errors which you must correct before a print job can continue or the printer status return to “Ready”.

If the problem persists, contact your vendor or authorized service provider.
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.
Clearing Procedures 1 Pull the lever, and then open the top cover. !" !" 2 74 If there is paper in the output tray, remove it, and then fold up the output tray before opening the top cover. Do not touch the transfer belt. Slowly pull out the drum cartridge.
Note Position the removed drum cartridge as shown in the illustration at the right. Be sure to keep the drum cartridge horizontal and place it where it will not become dirty. Do not leave the drum cartridge removed for more than 15 minutes, and do not place the removed drum cartridge in a location where it would be exposed to direct light (such as sunlight). 3 Push the fuser separator levers back as far as possible.
4 76 Remove any misfed media.
5 6 Return the fuser separator levers to their original positions. Reinstall the drum cartridge.
