For improved halftone quality in graphics and images, 1200x1200 dpi resolution is available for all media sizes on the magicolor 330 EX. The magicolor 330 CX is also capable of producing 1200x1200 dpi resolution through the installation of additional memory.
Page 39 Note: If a certain resolution is chosen and the minimum amount of » memory is not installed in the printer, the file is printed using the next lower resolution that can handle the job. For example, if you attempt to print a 4-color image at 1200x1200 dpi resolution on legal media, but the printer has only 64 MB of RAM instead of the required 112 MB minimum, the file prints at 600x600 dpi.
Page 40 600 dpi or 1200 dpi—your printer’s default is the highest Default resolution available for the amount of RAM installed in the printer (see “Minimum System Memory Requirements” on page 3-3 for more information). Notes Whenever possible, set the print resolution through your application.
Page 41 The optional high-duty oil roller is the same size as the standard fuser oil roller, so replacement follows the same steps. (Refer to chapter 5, “Printer Care,” for illustrated instructions.) Open the left-side fuser. Remove and discard the old fuser oil roller. Caution: Oil on this roller will come off on your skin if touched directly.

“Handling the Printer” on page 5-2 “Cleaning the Printer” on page 5-3 “Maintenance Schedule” on page 5-9 “Replacing the Fuser Oil Roller” on page 5-10 “Replacing the OPC Drum Cartridge”...
Page 82 This chapter describes how to handle and clean the printer. Blurred or splotchy prints and paper jams can result from dusty printer parts. Regular cleaning takes only a few minutes and helps ensure print quality. Printer parts that require cleaning are the paper pickup rollers and the outside surface of the printer.
Page 83: Storage
Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser beam devices. Doing so may damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate. Keep media in the output trays at minimum level. If the media stacks too high, your printer may experience media jams and excessive media curl.
Page 84 Either clean the printer before use, or allow a few minutes after unplugging it to allow the fuser unit to cool down. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface cables before cleaning inside the printer.
Page 85 Caution: Never touch the surface (blue part) of the drum. Never hit or rub the drum surface: if the OPC drum is scratched, printing will be degraded. The OPC drum is extremely sensitive to touch. Any body oil left on the surface of the drum will prevent toner from adhering to the drum which results in poor image quality.
Page 86 Pull out the OPC drum cartridge. Grasp the handle to remove the OPC drum cartridge. Do not rest it with the blue part touching a surface. Using a dry cotton cloth, clean any toner buildup from around the OPC drum cartridge’s cavity.
Page 87 Align the guide arrow on the OPC drum cartridge with the printer rail Push it all the way into the printer. Caution: If the guide on the OPC drum cartridge is not aligned with the rail, the cartridge may be damaged.
Page 88 To protect your printer and maintain its appearance, clean the exterior regularly. Use only a dry or slightly damp, lint-free, soft cloth moistened only with water or mild synthetic detergent. Caution: Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents, such as alcohol and benzene.
Page 89: Replacing The Opc Drum Cartridge
The stated life expectancy of each consumable is based on printing under specific operating conditions, such as media type, number of color planes, page size, and page coverage (usually 5% coverage of letter/A4-size media). The actual life expectancy will vary depending on these and other printing variables, including continuous or intermit- tent printing, ambient temperature, and humidity.

Page 162 If the printer and PC are communicating, a blank page ejects from the printer. If a blank page doesn’t eject and you typed the file correctly, you may want to check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if LPT1 (the parallel port) is being directed to COM1 (the serial port): If the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the line MODE LPT1:=COM1: delete it.
Page 163 In this example, the serial port settings are 9600 for baud rate, N (no) parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The “P” stands for infinite retry. » Note: If the mode statement isn’t in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you may temporarily set these parameters at the DOS prompt to continue this test by typing the mode statement as shown above.

Page 170 If the printer has warmed up and the Data indicator stays on, two problems may exist. If you are downloading additional typefaces, too many can overload the printer’s memory, causing the printer to reset and lose information previously downloaded to RAM. Make sure you have enough printer memory.
Page 171: Clearing Media Jams
Check that the paper cassettes are loaded with paper, in place and secure. Check for a media jam. Make sure a toner cartridge is installed. If you still have not solved the problem, you need to call your vendor for help. See “Placing a Service Call” on page 8-44 for information on how to contact your vendor.
Page 172 Error Handler is a diagnostic tool that identifies PostScript errors encountered during a print job. Administration/Startup Options/Do Error Handler Menu Choices Yes—Load the Error Handler. No—Don’t load the Error Handler. Default Notes Refer to the PostScript Language Reference Manual (Adobe Systems Incorporated, Reading, PA: Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-201-18127-4) for information on PostScript errors.
Page 173 The amount of RAM installed in your printer governs which reso- lutions can be used with each media size. If you have a QMS magicolor 330 Print System with — 64 MB RAM, you can print at 600x600 dpi resolution on all media sizes.
Page 174 If a blank startup page ejects or blank pages come out during a print- ing job, try the following: Check the toner cartridges. The image does not print if the cartridges are empty. If the toner cartridges are not empty and blank pages are ejecting, take each cartridge out, rock it from side to side, and reinstall it in the printer.
Page 175 This utility cannot be used to download Kanji TrueType fonts. See your Kanji TrueType font software documentation for information on how to download these fonts. Did the printer run out of memory while downloading Kanji fonts? If you experience memory problems when downloading Kanji fonts, then you can do one of the following to increase printer memory: Add 4 MB more printer memory.
Page 176 Did you inadvertently initialize or reformat the Kanji internal IDE hard disk? If so, contact your vendor. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Sup- port,” for product sales and service information. Did you correctly configure the printer? See the Options manual for complete printer configuration information.
Page 177 Check that you are using the correct type media. See appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” in the Reference for media specifications. Check that there is enough toner in the printer whether or not the x TONER LOW message is on. If, after rocking the toner cartridge, the print quality does not improve and/or the x TONER LOW message remains on, replace the toner cartridge.
