Using unapproved transparencies will result in damaging your printer and in voiding your warranty. Check www.minolta-qms.com for currently approved media. To order approved media, go to www.q-shop.com. Do not fan large quantities of transparency media before loading it. Resulting static electricity may cause printing errors. Handle transparencies only by the edges and as little as possible. If you touch the face of transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected. Media Types 29 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 Keep the media path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to a dirty media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom of the sheets, see chapter 7, "Maintaining the Printer." Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup. You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the way media feeds, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing environment. Format the information to be printed on the transparencies within your application. Try printing your data on a plain sheet of paper first to check placement. If you have problems feeding 50 sheets, try loading only 1­10 sheets at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at a time may cause static buildup, thus causing feeding problems.

Driver Mode Transparency Duplexing Not supported Orientation Type Use transparencies that Are approved by MINOLTA-QMS Have as little static electricity as possible What Is the guaranteed imageable (printable) area? Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion. This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). 30 Media Types EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 The guaranteed imageable (printable) area on all media sizes is up to about 0.157" (4 mm) from the edges of the media. a a a Printable Area a a = 0.157" (4 mm) Color printing on legal-size media (8.5 x 14 inches; 215.9 x 355.6 mm) may appear faded along the last edge to go through the printer. This faded area may affect 0.39" (10 mm) in addition to the 0.157" (4 mm) nonimageable area. The fading occurs in four-color printing and single-color printing with cyan, magenta, or yellow toner. Black printing on legal-size media is not affected. Imageable Area--Envelopes Envelopes have a nonguaranteed flap area that varies with envelope type. Envelope print orientation is determined by your application. Nonimageable area 0.157" (4 mm) Nonguaranteed area Guaranteed area Page Margins Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, stay within the sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results. Media Types 31 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 Image Alignment If for any reason you need to change the image alignment, you can do so by adjusting the margins or page size through your application, Loading Media How do I load media? If you are using paper, remove the top and bottom sheets from the ream. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray. Do not fan transparencies. Attention Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life. Do not mix media of different sizes, types, or weights, as this will cause media jams. When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. When loading media, make sure the media size and type settings match. 32 Loading Media EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 For optimum printing results, it's important to specify the type and size of media that's loaded in the multipurpose tray. You can set it at the printer control panel using the Paper / Input Tray / Tray1 menu, through the printer driver, or through PageScope Light. Changing the media type through PageScope Light or at the printer control panel affects all print jobs. Changing the media type in the driver affects only your print jobs. Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray) All supported media sizes and types can be printed from Tray 1. Letter or A4 plain paper can be printed from Tray 1 or Tray 2. See "Media Specifications" for more information about media. Plain Paper 1 2 If you already have media in Tray 1 and want to change it, remove the media from Tray 1 Adjust the media guides to fit the appropriate media sizes. Squeeze the front media guide to open the media guides. 3 Load the media face up, short edge first. Often, an arrow on the paper package label indicates the face-up (printing) side of the paper. If you are using letterhead paper, load it face up with the top first. Loading Media 33 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 A fill limit mark is provided on the inside of the media guides on the Tray 1. Tray 1 holds 200 sheets of 22 lb bond (80 g/m²) paper. 4 Slide the media guides up against the edge of the media. Attention Always adjust the media guides after inserting the media. A guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media jams, or printer damage. 5 6 7 Set the media size and type at the control panel or in PageScope Light. In the printer driver, select the appropriate media type and size. Print the job. Other Media When loading media other than Plain Paper, set the media mode (for example, Thick Stock, Label Stock, or Transparency) in the driver. For optimum printing results it's important to specify the type and size of media loaded into Tray 1. You can specify the media type through your printer driver, through PageScope Light, or at the printer control panel. Using your printer driver affects only your print jobs, while PageScope Light and the printer control panel affect all print jobs. Envelopes 1 34 Flex the envelope stack (including the edges) to remove any stiffness. Loading Media EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 2 3 4 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 Tray 1 with the flap-side underneath. If the flap is on the short end of the envelope, insert it into the printer first. Print a single envelope to check the orientation before printing multiple copies. 5 6 7 Adjust the media guides to the width of the envelopes. Make sure the guides are snug enough to keep the envelopes straight, but not so tight that they buckle the envelopes. In the printer driver, set the media type to thick stock and select the appropriate envelope size. Then print the envelope. Open the flap of each envelope immediately (before it cools) after the envelope is delivered to the output tray. Tray 2 (Optional Lower Feeder Unit Media Tray) Depending on which tray you have purchased, letter or A4 plain paper can be printed from Tray 2. 1 Slide the media tray open. Loading Media 35 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 2 Push the media pressure plate down to lock it in position. 3 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. Tray 2 holds 500 sheets of 22 lb bond (80 g/m²) paper. 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. 36 Loading Media EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 4 Slide the tray back into the printer. If you have removed the tray from the printer, tilt the tray slightly to align it with the rails in the printer. 5 6 7 Using the printer's control panel or PageScope Light, set the media size for letter or A4, whichever matches your Tray 2. In the printer driver, set the media mode to Plain Paper. Then print the job. Using Custom-Size Media When you use media that is not a standard size (see "What types and sizes of media can I load?" on page 23), you need to configure the printer for the custom size. Otherwise, your print job may be cut short or misaligned on the page. To make custom page sizes work correctly, you need to change the printer's default settings at the control panel or in PageScope Light and also in the MINOLTA-QMS printer driver. Default page sizes are set in inches on 110V printers and in millimeters on 220V printers. When you set custom page sizes in inches (110V printers), the two digits on the right are always decimal places. For example, set 8.5 inches as 850. When you set custom pages sizes in millimeters (220V printers), there are no decimal places. For example, set 78.2 millimeters as 78. The more accurate your measurements, the better your print job is aligned. Control Panel Use the Paper/Input Tray/Custom menu to reach the width and length settings for custom-size media. Then enter the width and length of the media you are using. PageScope Light Use the web-based utility's Configuration/Paper Handling options to set the custom size. Using Custom-Size Media 37 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 Printer Driver On the Paper tab's Paper Size drop-down list, choose Custom. A Configure button appears at the right of the drop-down list. Choose Configure and enter the length and width of your media in the dialog box. 1 2 3 Set the option for Tray 1 Media Size to Custom, using either the printer's control panel or PageScope Light. Set the Custom Size Width and Length to match the size of the media in Tray 1. This option can also be set using either the printer's control panel or PageScope Light. Set the media size in the printer driver. Sizes set in the driver need to match the sizes set for the printer through the control panel or PageScope Light. Duplexing How do I print on both sides of the paper (duplex)? Select paper that is opaque enough to block out what's printed on one side from being seen on the other side. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the paper and print quality are acceptable. Check your application for margin information. Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done manually or, if you have the duplex option installed and selected, it can be done automatically. Attention Only plain paper up to 24 lb (90 g/m²) can be duplexed. Duplexing envelopes, labels, postcards, thick stock over 24 lb (90 g/m²), or transparencies is not supported. How do I manually duplex? Media jams may occur if the printed sheet(s) are not reinserted entirely flat. 38 Using Custom-Size Media EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 Windows 1 2 3 4 In the printer driver (on the Paper tab, Layout tab, or Page Setup tab, depending on your operating system) select Simplex or choose No or None in the duplex option, then double-click OK. In the application's print dialog box, select All. Select and print the Odd-Numbered Pages. Remove the media, flip it over blank face-side up and top of page toward printer, and select and print the Even-Numbered Pages. If you are manually duplexing letterhead in Tray 1, load the media face-up with the letterhead first. If you are manually duplexing letterhead in Tray 2, load the media face-up with the top toward the right. Macintosh You can duplex manually from a Macintosh from some applications that are generally used for multi-page documents. This feature is controlled by the application, rather than by the PPDs. 1 2 3 4 When you are ready to print, open the print dialog box by choosing the Print option within the application you are using. Find the even/odd page selection. For example, in Quark XPress, use the Document/Page Sequence option. Select and print the Odd-Numbered Pages. Remove the media, flip it over blank face-side up and top of page toward printer, and select and print the Even-Numbered Pages. If you are manually duplexing letterhead in Tray 1, load the media face-up with the letterhead first. If you are manually duplexing letterhead in Tray 2, load the media face-up with the top toward the right. How do I autoduplex? To autoduplex, the duplexer must be physically installed on the printer and identified as an installed option in the printer driver. Otherwise, the print job will print as simplex even if you select duplex. Windows--Use the printer driver to configure the printer for duplex printing. 1 2 In the printer driver's Settings tab, highlight Optional Duplexer in the Available Options box. Click Add. Using Custom-Size Media 39 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 The Optional Duplexer appears in the Installed Options box and duplex printing options are available in the printer driver and in your application's print dialog box. Macintosh--You can configure the duplex option when you first set up your printer, or you can add it later to your desktop printer configuration: 1 2 3 4 5 Select your desktop printer. From the Printing menu, select Change Setup... Select the Optional Duplexer from the Change drop-down list. Select Installed from the To drop-down list. Select OK When you select File/Print, the Print on Both Sides option is now available in the Layout dialog box. Memory Requirements Your printer comes configured with 128 MB of RAM. Duplex printing can be done automatically with a duplex option and enough memory installed, and with the duplex option selected in the printer. Most print jobs will print with 128 MB of RAM, but may not print at the desired resolution. You will need at least 192 MB of RAM to print color duplex jobs on letter/ A4-size media at either the PostScript High resolution or the PCL Enhanced resolution You will need at least 256 MB of RAM to print color duplex jobs at PostScript High or PCL Enhanced resolution on legal-size media. Additional memory can be added up to a total of 384 MB. Printing Duplex Check your application to determine how to set margins for duplex printing. 1 To print duplex (both sides of the sheet), load the media printing-side up. a For Tray 1, load the media with the top of the media toward the back of the tray. b For Tray 2, load the media with the top of the media toward the right side of the tray. In autoduplexing, the back side is printed first and the front side is printed last. 40 Using Custom-Size Media EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 2 3 Set the driver for the duplex layout you prefer. Long Edge creates a document that flips horizontally as in a loose-leaf notebook; Short Edge creates a document that flips vertically, as on a clipboard. Simplex prints only on the front face of the page. Click OK. Output Tray All media is output face-down to the output tray on top of the printer. The output tray has a capacity of 200 sheets of 22 lb (80 g/m2) bond paper. If the media is stacked too high, your printer may experience media jams, excessive media curl, or static buildup. Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup. 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 unwrapped may become too dry or absorb too much moisture and cause jamming. 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, excess humidity, direct sunlight, excess heat (above 95° F/35° C), and dust. Avoid leaning media against other objects or storing in an upright position. Before using stored media, do a trial printing and check print quality. Output Tray 41 EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 Accessing Other Printer Features You can set print resolution, form printing, and proof-then-print options in two ways: Through the MINOLTA-QMS printer driver or through application, which sets the features for the specific job you are sending. Through the printer control panel or PageScope Light, which sets the features for all subsequent jobs, until you change the settings. You can also access many printer features, such as color controls, through the printer's control panel and the web-based PageScope Light, as well as through the application and printer driver. Instructions for using the printer's control panel are in Chapter 3 and instructions for using the printer driver are in Chapter 4. PageScope Light instructions are included in the Reference Guide. Print Resolution Your printer offers a choice of three print resolutions, depending on which driver you select. PostScript High: 600 x 600 dpi with contone imaging Standard: 600 x 600 dpi color Draft: 600 x 600 dpi monochrome PCL Enhanced: 1200 x 1200 dpi Standard: 600 x 600 dpi color Draft: 600 x 600 dpi monochrome Form Printing You can use overlays to create forms such as stationery, billing, insurance, or other repetitive formats. You select the overlay and assign it to specific pages of the print job so that you can use more than one overlay in a job. Proof-then-Print Printing The printer's proof-then-print feature gives you several options for multicopy or secure print jobs: 42 Accessing Other Printer Features EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 You can print one copy of a multicopy job and check it before printing the rest of the copies. You can print multiple copies of a job and then store the job in the printer in case further copies are needed. You can assign a PIN number to a secure job so that it will not print until you key in the PIN number at the printer's control panel. You can store a print job on the printer's hard disk and allow it to be printed later with or without a PIN number. Proof-then-Print features are available only when there is an optional hard disk installed on the printer.
