Solving Problems with Media Misfeeds
Cause
The front edges of
the media are not
even.
The media is moist
from humidity.
Top cover needs to
be opened and
closed again to reset
the printer.
Some media remains
misfed in the printer.
Unsupported media
(wrong size, thick-
ness, type, etc.) is
being used.
Media is still being
misfed.
Solution
Remove the media and even up the
front edges, then reload it.
Remove the moist media and replace it
with new, dry media.
Open and close the top cover again.
Recheck the media path and make
sure that you have removed all of the
misfed media.
Use KONICA MINOLTA-approved
media. See "Print Media" on page 5-2.

nolta.com for a complete list of cur-
rently approved media.
Only Letter/A4 plain paper and recy-
cled paper can be autoduplexed if the
duplex option is installed and the
media type is set properly in the driver.
Make sure that you have not mixed
media types in Tray 1.
Do not duplex envelopes, labels, thick
stock, postcard, or letterheads.
Recheck the media path inside the
duplex option and make sure that you
have removed all of the misfed media.
