About Duplex Printing
Duplex (double-sided) printing can be done with magicolor 4690MF, which 
has the duplex unit built in as a standard. If the paper has low opacity (high 
translucency), then the printed data from one side of the page will show 
through to the other side. Check your application for margin information. For 
best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Note
Only plain paper, 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) can be autoduplexed. See 
“Specifications” on page 66.
Duplexing envelopes, labels, letterheads, postcards, thick stock, glossy 
media or transparencies is not supported.
How do I autoduplex?
Check your application to determine how to set your margins for duplex 
(double-sided) printing.
The following Binding Position settings are available.
If “Short Edge Binding” is selected, the pages will be laid 
out to flip at the top.

to flip at the side.

machine. This tray has a capacity of approximately 250 sheets (A4/Letter) of 
80 g/m

experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup. 
Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to 
avoid static buildup

„Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it.
Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up 
too much and cause misfeeding.

aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.
„Avoid moisture, excessive humidity, direct sunlight, excessive heat (above 
35°C [95°F]), and dust

Selecting Printer Driver Options/Defaults 
(for Windows)
Before you start working with your machine, you are advised to verify and 
change the default printer driver settings if necessary. Also, in case you have 
options installed, you should “declare” the options in the printer driver.
1Choose the driver’s properties as follows:
– (Windows Vista)
From the Start menu, select Control Panel, and then click Hardware 
and Sound to select Printers. Right-click the KONICA MINOLTA 
magicolor 4690MF printer icon, and then select Printing Prefer-
ences.
– (Windows XP/Server 2003)
From the start menu, select Printers and Faxes to display the Print-
ers and Faxes directory. Right-click the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 
4690MF printer icon and select Printing Preferences.
– (Windows 2000)
From the Start menu, select Settings and then Printers to display the 
Printers directory. Right-click the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 
4690MF printer icon and select Printing Preferences.
2If you have installed available options, proceed with the next step. Other-
wise, proceed with step 8.
3Select the Device Options Setting tab.
4Check the options that have been correctly identified.
Since Auto Configure is selected as a default with this driver, 
installed options are automatically identified. If the options are not 
correctly identified, follow the operations described in steps 5 
through 7.
5Clear the Auto Configure check box.
6Select an option (one at a time), and then select Installed from Settings. 
Installed appears to the right of the option in the Device Options list.

Device Options list, and then select Not Installed from Settings.
7Click Apply.
Depending on the version of the operating system, Apply may not 
appear. If this is the case, continue with the next step.
