Installing the Imaging Unit
Attention
The OPCs are extremely sensitive to bright light, direct sunlight, and

you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to light should be limited to less
than two minutes, or permanent damage could result.
1Open the front cover (press button A), and remove any tape.
2Open the imaging unit cover.
3Remove the imaging unit from its
protective bag.
4Holding the imaging unit horizontally, pull the tabs straight out and com-
pletely away from the unit.
The imaging unit contains four OPCs (Organic
Photo Conductors) and developers and animaging
unit transfer roller, that form the image that is
developed and transferred to the media.

Setting up Your Printer 13
Attention
Do not twist the tab as you are
pulling it. If any tab doesn’t
pull completely out (you must
be able to see the circle
imprinted on the end), the
imaging unit must be replaced.

 Disposeof it according to your
local regulations. Do not dis-
pose of it by burning.
Attention
Do not touch the black transfer roller or allow anything to come in
contact with the OPC. It is extremely sensitive to hand oils and
scratches, both of which reduce print quality. This type of damage is
not covered by your warranty.
8Close the imaging unit cover  .
9Close the front cover  .
Preparing the Toner Cartridges
The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your hands, wash them in cool water
and mild 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.
Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow,
magenta and cyan. They are already installed in the
printer, but you must prepare them for use.
For a list of toner life expectancies and toner replace-
ment instructions, refer to ‘Replacing Consumables’ in
the User’s Guide (on the Documentation CD-ROM).

Setting up Your Printer 15
WARNING!
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water
and consult a doctor. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information
can be found at www.konicaminolta.net/printer/ (click on Online Help &
Drivers).
1Remove the printer’s top cover.
2Pull the toner seal of the black toner
cartridge straight up.

Plugging in/Turning on the Printer20
Plugging in/Turning on the Printer
1Make sure the printer is turned off.
2Plug the printer power cord into the
printer and into a dedicated, grounded,
surge-protected electrical outlet.
3Turn on the printer.
 In compliance with UL guide-
lines, “The appliance inlet is
considered to be the main dis-
connect device.”
After approximately a 6-minute
warmup (assuming normal
temperature and humidity) , your
printer prints a startup page and displays IDLE on the message window.
 This 6-minute warmup happens only when a new imaging unit has
been installed. Normal warmup time is approximately 90 seconds.
If IDLE is not displayed in the message window after the printer is turned
on, recheck the setup. If the startup page doesn’t print or the print quality
is not good, skip ahead to “Troubleshooting” on page 28.
 The printer automatically switches to power-saving (energy-
saving) mode after1 hour of inactivity. You can change the number
of minutes before the printerswitches to power-savingmode in the
Administration/Engine/Energy Saver menu.
