For example, a black-only, single-sided (simplex) print job makes one pass, and a two-color (duplex) print job makes two passes. A single-sided color page (also called a face) consists of four passes of the OPC drum, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors. A two-sided color page may consist of up to eight passes of the OPC drum, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors. Stated consumable life is expressed at 5% in simplex letter/A4 pages. A duplex page is equivalent to two simplex pages. The number of sheets/faces printed shown on the startup page differs from the number of sheets/ faces printed statistics in CrownView and on the consumables statistics page (Operator Control/ Consumables/Print Statistics). The numbers on the startup page refer to number of sheets/faces printed during the lifetime of the printer. The numbers in CrownView and on the consumables statistics page refer to the number of sheets/faces printed to date during the current consumables tracking period (Administration/Consumables/Start Period menu). Ordering Consumables Choosing the right consumables for your magicolor 2200 printer not only increases its reliability and performance, but also minimizes the risk of damage. For example, only MINOLTA-QMS toner cartridges are designed to meet the exact specifications of your MINOLTA-QMS printer, giving maximum performance, efficiency, and long life. Toner cartridges and other consumables for the magicolor 2200 are available from your local vendor or Q-SHOP (www.q-shop.com). See the Service & Support Guide for the telephone number of the MINOLTA-QMS office nearest you for information on ordering. Replacing Toner Cartridges Characters and images are created in your laser printer through a process that applies toner to the photosensitive (OPC) drum (which functions like photographic film). Your printer Replacing Toner Cartridges 9 5 " 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 carbon-particle toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your hands, wash them in cool water or a neutral detergent. If you get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as much as possible. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off, provided your clothing is washable. Attention If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately and consult a doctor. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information can be found at www.minolta-qms.com (click on the Answer Base). Toner Cartridge Life A toner cartridge contains enough toner (yellow, magenta, cyan, or black) to print a maximum of 6,000 (@ normal 5% page coverage) letter/A4-size pages. When toner runs low in a cartridge, X TONER LOW displays in the message window (X indicates the toner color). It's your option whether to continue printing; usually, parts of the page print lighter. When toner is low, it's sometimes helpful to take the cartridge out of the printer and redistribute the toner by gently rocking the cartridge horizontally side to side (as you do for a new cartridge) five or six times. Then reinstall the cartridge. The printer, approximately 100 pages after detecting that toner in a cartridge is low, displays X TONER EMPTY in the message window (X indicates the toner color). Printing continues even though the out-of-toner warning appears. However, the color gradually fades, so replace the toner cartridge as soon as possible. 10 Replacing Toner Cartridges Toner Cartridge Handling Attention Do not hold a toner cartridge vertically. Do not touch the toner roller surface c or the protective shutter d. This could lower image quality. cd 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 95° F (35° C) and the maximum storage humidity is 80% without condensation. ,, 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. Away from disk drives and floppy disks. The magnets in the cartridges can damage stored data. Toner Cartridge Replacement 1 2 Check the message display to see what toner color is out.
