Locate your printer in a space with these characteristics...
On a hard, flat, stable, level (±5°or less slant at any point on the machine)
surface. A surface can be tested for levelness with a standard round pencil.
If the pencil rolls, the surface is not level.
Close to an easily accessible grounded power supply (on an exclusively
dedicated power outlet) that meets printer specifications.
Near your computer—at the length 6.5'/2 m or less for an IEEE 1284
bidirectional parallel connection.
With enough space to allow adequate ventilation and easy servicing.
With an ambient temperature range of 50°–90°F/10°–32°C and relative
humidity range of 15%–85% (noncondensating).
At an altitude of 0–10,170'/0–3,100 m.
But away from...
Direct sunlight, heating and cooling sources, extreme temperature and
humidity changes, wind, dust, open flames, and items that can easily burn.
A connection to the same electrical circuit as high-current machines,
noise-generating equipment (such as a copier or air conditioner), and strong
magnetic or electromagnetic fields (such as a refrigerator).
Water, water pipes, liquid (drink) containers, and corrosive chemicals or
vapors, such as ammonia.
Small, loose metal parts, such as paper clips and staples.

2With another person’s help, lift
the printer from the carton.
Do not tilt it more than 10° in
any direction at any time.
For best output quality and
longest consumables life, place
the printer on a hard, flat, level,
stable surface capable of
supporting about 77 lbs (35 kg).
3Remove the tape from the outside of the printer.
Attention
Do not plug in the power cord until told to do so.
Installing the Imaging Unit
Attention
The OPCs are extremely sensitive to bright light, direct sunlight, and
touch. Always leave the imaging unit in its protective bag until you’re
ready to install it. Any exposure to light should be limited to less than
two minutes, or permanent damage could result.
Front
Hand grips
The imaging unit contains four OPCs (Optical
Photo Conductors) and developers, and an imag-
ing unit transfer roller that form the image that is
developed and transferred to the media.

Setting up Your Printer8

1Open the printer’s front cover (button A), and remove any tape.
2Open the imaging unit cover.
3Remove the imaging unit from its
protective bag.
4Holding the imaging unit horizontally,
carefully pull the tabs straight out and
completely away from the unit.
Attention
Do not twist the tab as you are
pulling it. If any tab doesn’t pull

Attention
You can damage the imaging unit if
it is not aligned correctly.
7Remove the protective black sheet.
 Dispose of it according to your
local regulations. Do not
dispose 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, provided your clothing is washable.
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 printer.konicaminolta.net/support (click on Answer
Base).
1Remove the printer’s top cover.
2Pull the toner seal of the black toner
cartridge straight up.
Attention
Pulling the seal to the front or side
may damage the cartridge.
If the toner seal didn’t pull completely
out because it was pulled with too
much force or it was not pulled straight up, call Technical Support. Refer
to the Service & Support Guide (on the Documentation CD-ROM) or
www.konicaminolta.net/printer/ to find the office nearest you.
3Repeat step 2 to remove the toner seals from the other three toner
cartridges.
4Replace the top cover.
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 replacement
instructions, refer to chapter 1, “Replacing Consumables,”
in the User’s Guide (on the Documentation CD-ROM).

Loading the Upper Media Tray
1Slide out the media tray and remove
the shipping spacers.
 The illustration shows an
upper media tray; however,

(HCIF) trays.
2Using both hands, lift the media tray
slightly to remove it from the printer,
and place it on a flat surface.
3Adjust the two side media guides.
4Gently lift the end media guide and
position it in the proper media size
hole.
 The illustration of the tray
shown here is in reverse of the
illustration in step 3.
Attention
If the guide is not in the proper hole, automatic paper size detection
will not work.
The upper media tray holds 500 sheets of 20 lb bond
(75 g/m²) paper.
For information about loading and using other types of
media, refer to chapter 2, “Using Media,”in the User’s
Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM.

5Fan a stack of approximately 500
sheets of letter/A4 paper.
A fill limit mark is provided on the
inside right side of the tray.
Attention
Do not overfill the tray. The paper should fit easily between the
guides. Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality,
media jams, or printer damage.
6Align the four edges of the media, and
then load it with the printing side up.
Often, an arrow on the media package
label indicates the printing side of the
media.
7Make sure the paper corners are not
bent and that they are under the
media-separating tabs.
8Readjust the side media guides after inserting the media.
Attention
Improperly adjusted guides may
cause poor print quality, media
jams, or printer damage.

For information about loading and
using A5 and other types of media,
refer to chapter 2, “Using Media,”in
the User’s Guide on the Documenta-
tion CD-ROM.

tray needs to be refilled.
Loading the Multipurpose Tray
1Open the multipurpose tray.
The multipurpose tray holds 100 sheets of 20 lb bond
(75 g/m²) paper.
For information about loading and using other types of
media, refer to chapter 2, “Using Media,”in the User’s
Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Do not place heavy objects on the multipurpose tray or try to force it open.
The multipurpose tray is used for all media types, especially envelopes,
labels, Japanese-sized postcards, and Thick 3 stock.

2Adjust the media guides to fit the paper
size you’re loading.
The tray extender supports long media.
3Fan a stack of approximately 100
sheets of paper.
A fill limit mark is provided on the inside
of the tray.

guides. Improperly adjusted guides may cause poor print quality,
media jams, or printer damage.
4Align the edges of the paper, and then
load it with its printing side up and short
edge toward the printer.
Often, an arrow on the media package
label indicates the printing-side of
the media.
5Make sure the media fits properly in
the tray.
Installing Accessories
Attention
Installing accessories always requires that the printer and accessories
are turned off and unplugged during installation.
If you purchased any additional printer accessories (such as a high-capacity
input feeder or additional memory), then install them now. If installation
instructions are included with the accessory, follow them. If not, instructions
are included in the User’s Guide (on the Documentation CD-ROM).

Plugging in/Turning on the Printer 15
English
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.
Attention
Do not overload the outlet.
3Turn on the printer.
 In compliance with UL guidelines,
“The appliance inlet is consid-
ered to be the main disconnect
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. The normal warmup time when the printer is
turned on is approximately 1.5 minutes.
If “IDLE”is not displayed in the message window after the printer is
turned on and warmed up, recheck the setup. If the startup page doesn’t
print or the print quality is not good, skip ahead to “Troubleshooting”on
page 24.
The printer automatically switches to power-saving (energy-saving) mode
after 1 hour of inactivity. You can change the number of minutes before the
printer switches to power-saving mode in the Administration/Engine/Energy
Saver menu.
Attention
Never turn the power off while the printer is receiving data or printing.

About the Interface Panel16
