Output Bin All printed media is output to the face-down output bin. This tray has a capac- ity of approximately 100 sheets (A4/Letter) of 80 g/m (22 lb) media. If the media is stacked too high in the output bin, your machine may experience media misfeeds, excessive media curl, or static buildup.
Page 77
When printing on postcards, make sure that the output bin is horizontal. If the output bin is slanted while printing, the postcards may be curled and an error message may appear before the output bin contains 10 sheets. In addition, the output bin extension can be pulled out to two different positions.
Media Storage 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. If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack- aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge Note Failure to follow instructions as outlined in this manual could result in voiding your warranty. Your machine uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the machine or on yourself.
Page 131
When replacing a toner cartridge, refer to the following table. For optimum print quality and performance, use only approved KONICA MINOLTA toner cartridges for your specific machine type, as listed in the table below. If you open the engine cover, you can find your machine type and the toner car- tridge part numbers on the consumables reorder label inside your machine.
Page 132
Keep toner cartridges: In their packaging until you’re ready to install them. In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat). The maximum storage temperature is 35° C (95° F) and the maximum storage humidity is 85% (noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur, degrading print quality.
To Replace a Toner Cartridge Note Be careful not to spill toner while replacing a toner cartridge. If toner spills, immediately wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. When a toner cartridge becomes empty, the messages X TONER EMPTY indicates the toner color) alternately appear.

Introduction This chapter provides information to aid you in resolving machine problems you may encounter, or at least guide you to the proper sources for help. Preventing Media Misfeeds page 151 Understanding the Media Path page 152 Clearing Media Misfeeds page 152 Solving Problems with Media Misfeeds page 167...
Preventing Media Misfeeds Make sure that... Media matches the machine specifications. Media is flat, especially on the leading edge. The machine is on a hard, flat, level surface. You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity. The output bin is positioned horizontally when postcards are being printed.
Understanding the Media Path Understanding the media path will help you locate media misfeeds. 1. ADF media feed rollers 2. Document feed tray 3. Document output tray 4. Fuser unit 5. Duplex option Document path (front view) 6. Tray 2 (optional) 7.
CAUTION If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor. If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the message window persists, open and close the engine cover. This should clear the mis- feed message.
