Color Basics...
Page 170: Color Management
Color Management KONICA MINOLTA technology automatically optimizes color output to produce professional quality, colorized documents without the use of sophisticated manual optimization techniques.This chapter starts with a brief introduction about color in general, and how your color laser printer processes color.
Page 171: Subtractive Colors
Subtractive Colors If we direct white light onto an object, such as a red apple, the white light seems to be modified in such a way that only the red part is reflected to our eyes. This means that the apple must have absorbed the green and blue portions of the white light. This is why we say that the apple looks red.
Page 172 A color printer uses the subtractive principle, which means that when we look at a color printout, the pigments in the toners absorb portions of the white light reflected from the white substrate. A color laser printer typically ships with four toner cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
Page 173: Color Model
Color Model A monitor and a color printer have limited color ranges compared to the range of colors visible to the human eye. In the illustration we have identified the range of colors that a monitor is able to produce and the range of colors a color laser printer may produce.

Page 176: Color Profiles
In the printer. This is the easiest way since all color processes are taken care of inside the printer. The printer converts the color data received. KONICA MINOLTA color printers are equipped with an internal Color Management Module. Color Profiles...
Page 177 The illustration shows the internal Color Management Module of a KONICA MINOLTA color laser printer. First, the RGB Source ICC profile translates RGB values of the color producing device (in this case a monitor) to the standard CIE LAB color model. Next, those CIE LAB model values are translated into a Simulation profile, if the user chooses to use one.
Page 178 When creating the profile, set the maximum ink limit to 225% in the separations setup of your profiling software. 225% is the maximum ink limit that the fuser of the magicolor 7300 can handle; exceeding this amount can damage the fuser and produce undesirable image quality artifacts.
Page 179: Windows And Macintosh

Inside Your Printer...
Page 190: Inside Your Printer
Inside Your Printer Your printer’s Operating System software resides inside the printer and is referred to as printer firmware. The printer firmware is stored in flash ROM on a Smart Media card. Updating new printer firmware is performed via one of the printer’s interfaces. When the printer firmware is downloaded to the printer, the printer recognizes the nature of the code and replaces the older firmware with the new one that is downloaded.
Page 191: Rasterization
Rasterization Each time the print engine is ready to print a new page, the print data is translated into a bitmap format that is stored, and then read by the print engine. What’s a bitmap? A bitmap is a graphic representation of a page.
Page 192: Printable Areas
The value of the nonprintable edges is about 0.157" (4 mm) from the edges of the media. " # See the magicolor 7300 User’s Guide for more information about printable area(s). Printing The printing segment is the hardware, often referred to as the print engine.

Page 196: Serverless Printing
Serverless Printing The illustration shows a simplified section of a typical network environment. A workstation (WS1) generates print data from a software application and transmits it via the network to the network server. The network server stores the data on its hard disk (in what is called a print queue).
Page 197: Automatic Jam Recovery
All KONICA MINOLTA printers behave like network servers when connected to a network, decreasing unnecessary network traffic. This becomes a major benefit when multiple printers are active in the same network.
Page 198: Electronic Document Collation
In some cases, many more copies are needed. KONICA MINOLTA technology offers a better solution: With your printer, you do not have to select collation in the software application when you need multiple copies of your document. If the driver collate setting is turned on, just enter the number of copies you need in the driver.
Page 199: Overlay Printing
Even though you are able to print, your production stops and becomes dependent upon external situations. KONICA MINOLTA technology offers a better solution: You may download the entire preprinted form(s) onto the printer’s hard disk and use this file as an overlay template.
Page 200 Overlays are not supported on Macintosh. Important Note for KONICA MINOLTA Windows 98/Me PostScript Driver Users If you created the overlay file using the KONICA MINOLTA Windows 98/Me PostScript driver, you must also perform the following step before download- ing it to the printer.
Page 201: Printer-Based Accounting
If you are not sure if a command sequence is device-specific, you can check for the sequence in a PPD, refer to the Adobe PostScript Level 2 Technical Language Reference Manual, or contact KONICA MINOLTA Technical Support. Printer-based Accounting Printers with an internal hard disk may utilize Printer-Based Accounting. With Printer-Based Accounting, individual print job information is saved on the printer’s internal hard disk in an accounting file.
Page 202: Tray Chaining And Auto Continue
Printer Error Accounting Capturing the information each time the printer experiences an error allows you to analyze the types of errors and the down-time each error causes. For More Information See “Printer-based Accounting” on page 268 for details about the Accounting records that are saved in the Accounting file on your printer’s hard disk.

Page 294: Universal Exit Language () Usage
Universal Exit Language (<UEL>) Usage The <UEL> Kernel Command signals to the printer that a PJL job needs to be processed or has completed processing. This allows the printer to switch between PJL and its default printing language (for example, PostScript). The following bullets identify the rules you should follow when using the <UEL>...
Page 295: Language Configuration
Variables and Values Many PJL commands require the use of variables to assign values to the command parameters. PJL commands support the use of alphanumeric variable characters when the following rules are applied: Alpha characters All variables must begin with an alpha character. Do not use spaces in variables.
Page 296 Implicit Language Selection—If the ENTER LANGUAGE command is not used, the printer uses the language set as the default language. This method works fine as long as the default language is the same language as the job sent to the printer. If the PERSONALITY variable is set to AUTO, and no ENTER command is received, Context Language Selection (described next) is used instead of Implicit Language Selection.

Introduction The following chapters in this guide describe the PJL commands, their variables, and their functions. This chapter looks at the common methods of sending the PJL command jobs to the printer and receiving readback responses from the printer. Sending PJL Commands to the Printer The three most common methods used to send PJL commands to the printer Creating an ASCII file containing the PJL commands and copying this file to your printer.

Page 305 Command Syntax @PJL JOB [NAME = "job name"][START = first page][END = last page][PASSWORD = number][<CR>]<LF> Description The JOB command signifies the beginning of a new PJL job to the printer. This command should be used with the EOJ command to frame the PJL job to prevent multiple PJL jobs from being treated as one job.
Page 306 Command Syntax @PJL SET [LPARM : Personality | IPARM : port] variable = value [<CR>]<LF> Description This command sets the command settings to the user default settings. Notes The SET and RESET commands affect only the current job. Command Syntax @PJL SET [parameter][value][<CR>]<LF> Description This command sets accounting information.
Page 307 RESET Command Syntax @PJL RESET [<CR>]<LF> Description This command resets the command settings to the user default settings. Notes The SET and RESET commands affect only the current job.
