About the Indicators

The indicators use five types of signals: Off On Slow blinking1 blink every 2 seconds Blinking1 blink per second Rapid blinking2 blinks per second Each of the indicators has the following basic meaning. Ready indicator When lit, printing can be performed. Error indicator When lit or blinking, an error has occurred or there is a warning. Toner indicators When blinking, the toner for the corresponding color is about to run out. When lit, the toner in the corresponding color is empty. In addition, printer warnings and errors may be indicated by combinations of the various types of signals used by the indicators in the control panel (indicator messages). For details on these indicator messages, refer to Indicator Messages on page 7-5. The Remote Panel Utility can also be used to check the printer status. For details, refer to Working with the Remote Panel Utility on page 3-2.

If the postcard is warped, press on the warped area before putting it in Tray 1.

Printable Area

The printable area on all media sizes is up to 4.0 mm (0.157") from the edges of the media. Each media size has a specific printable area (the maximum area on which the machine can print clearly and without distortion).
This area is subject to both hardware a limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the machine) and a=4.0 mm (0.157") software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The printable area for all media sizes is the page size minus 4.0 mm (0.157") from all edges of the media. When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 16.0 mm (0.63").

Envelopes

Envelopes can only be printed on their front sides (side where the recipients address is written). In addition, printing on the front side in the area overlapping the back flap cannot be guaranteed. The location of this area differs depending on the envelope type. Non-printable area Non-guaranteed printable area a a a Guaranteed printable area
a Front side (can be printed) Back side (cannot be printed)

a=4.0 mm (0.157")

The envelope print orientation is determined by your application. With the Envelope DL size (long edge feeding), the nonprintable areas on the left and right sides are 6 mm.

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to printable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the printable area for optimum results.

Loading Media

How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper. Holding a stack of approximately 200 sheets at a time, fan the stack to prevent static buildup before inserting it in a tray.

Replacing Consumables

Failure to follow instructions as outlined in this manual could result in voiding your warranty.

About Toner Cartridges

Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself. Install only new toner cartridges in your printer. If a used toner cartridge is installed, then toner remaining amount may not be accurate. The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap. If you get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off.

CAUTION

If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.

Maintenance

Maintaining the Printer
Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any instructions contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of the printers covers and the interior of the printer body. Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse handling may cause damage and void your warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or outside of the printer, printer performance and print quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep the following guidelines in mind.

WARNING!

Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface cables before cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise the printer will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.
The fuser unit is hot. When the top cover is opened, the fuser unit temperature drops gradually (one hour wait time). Be careful when cleaning the inside of the printer or removing media misfeeds, as the fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot. Do not place anything on top of the printer. Use a soft cloth to clean the printer. Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printers surface; the spray could penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits. Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer. Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small inconspicuous area of your printer to check the solutions performance. Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads. Always close the printers covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibration. Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until it cools down.

Do not leave the printers covers open for any length of time, especially in well-lit places; light may damage the imaging cartridge. Do not open the printer during printing. Do not tap media stacks on the printer. Do not lubricate or disassemble the printer. Do not tilt the printer. Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so may damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate. Keep media in the output tray at a minimum level. If the media is stocked too high, your printer may experience media misfeeds and excessive media curl. Keep the printer level to avoid toner spillage.
When lifting the printer, grasp the areas shown in the figure.

Preventing Media Misfeeds
Make sure that. Media matches the printer specifications. Media is flat, especially on the leading edge. The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface. You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity. You always adjust the media guides in Tray 1 after inserting the media (a guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, and printer damage). You load the media printing-side up in the tray (many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side). Avoid. Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled. Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheetsthey may be sticking together). Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time. Overfilling the trays. Allowing the output tray to overfill (the output tray has a 100-sheet capacity misfeeding may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 100 sheets at one time).

SIMITRI HD POLYMERIZED

PULVERIZED
SIMITRI HD TONER. SIMITRI HD POLYMERIZED TONER PRODUCES EXCEPTIONAL OUTPUT. ITS PARTICLES ARE SMALLER AND MORE UNIFORM IN SIZE AND SHAPE THAN CONVENTIONAL PULVERIZED TONER, PROVIDING SMOOTHER, MORE NATURAL IMAGES; RICHER GRADATION AND SHARPER TEXT.
COMPACT & STYLISH DESIGN. SPACE WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR THE MAGICOLOR 1600W. THIS PRINTER IS THE SMALLEST COLOR LASER PRINTER EVER OFFERED FROM KONICA MINOLTA. ITS SMALL FOOTPRINT, WHICH IS ONE OF THE SMALLEST IN THE INDUSTRY, WILL LEAVE MORE WORKING SPACE AT YOUR DESKTOP. AS ANOTHER BENEFIT, THE PAPER INPUT AND OUTPUT TRAYS CAN BE CLOSED WHEN PRINTER IS NOT IN USE TO MINIMIZE SPACE EVEN MORE.
INTERFACE SUPPORT Hi-Speed USB 2.0 PAPER HANDLING STANDARD PAPER INPUT: 200-sheet multipurpose tray*

*Dust cover optional

SMALLEST WORKSPACE. THE 1600W OFFERS THE SMALLEST WORKSPACE WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER COLOR LASER PRINTERS. COMPETITIVE MODELS REQUIRE SPACE FOR PULLING OUT THE PAPER INPUT TRAY, SIDE AIR FLOW VENTILATION OR FOR PAPER JAM ACCESS AT THE REAR OF THE PRINTER.
