Print Media 107 Types Before purchasing a large quantity of special media, do a trial print with the same media and check the print quality. Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. For a list of approved media, refer to http://printer.konicaminolta.com. Plain Paper (Recycled Paper) Use plain paper that is „Suitable for plain paper printers and copiers, such as standard or recycled office paper. Note Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, or damage to the machine.

Test all thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image does not shift. You can print continuously with thick stock. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.

Print Media 109 DO NOT use thick stock that is „Mixed with any other media in the trays (as this will cause media misfeed- ing) Envelope Print on the front (address) side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of three layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these lay- ered regions may be lost or faded. You can print continuously with envelope. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time. Use envelopes that are „Common office envelopes approved for laser printing with diagonal joints, sharp folds and edges, and ordinary gummed flaps Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed area on the flaps may seal.

Resulting static elec- tricity may cause printing errors. If you touch the face of the transparencies with your bare hands, print quality may be affected. 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 10, “Maintenance”. Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid static buildup.

Print Media 113 You can print continuously with transparencies. However, this could affect the media feed, depending on the media quality, static buildup, and printing envi- ronment. Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. If you have problems feeding 20 sheets, try loading only 1–10 sheets at a time. Loading a large number of transparencies at one time may cause static buildup, causing feeding problems. Always first test a small quantity of a particular type of transparency.

Print Media 115 Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4 mm (0.157) from the edges of the media. Each media size has a specific image- able area, the maximum area on which the machine can print clearly and with- out distortion. This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the machine) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4.0 mm (0.157) from all edges of the media. Imageable Area—Envelopes Envelopes have a nonguaranteed imageable area that varies with envelope type. The envelope print orienta- tion is deter- mined by your appli- cation. With the Enve- lope DL size (long edge feeding), the nonimageable areas on the left and right sides are 6 mm. 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 cus- tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imagea- ble area for optimum results. a a a a Printable Area a=4.0 mm (0.157) Guaranteed area Nonguaranteed area Nonimageable area 4.0 mm (0.157) Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Loading Media 116 Loading Media How do I load media? Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx- imately 100 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray. Do not fan transparencies. Note Although this machine 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. When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the new media, even the edges, then reload it.
