Replacing Toner Cartridges 9
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

*A plane (also called an image) is a single pass of the OPC drum (one toner color). 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 sta-
tistics page refer to the number of sheets/faces printed to date during the current consumables
tracking period (Administration/Consumables/Start Period menu).

Replacing Toner Cartridges10
uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges
carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself.
5"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

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.
