[. . . ] You load the media (for single-sided pages) printing-side up in Tray 1 (many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side). Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheets--they may be sticking together). Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time. Allowing the output tray to overfill (the face-down output tray has a 200-sheet capacity--jamming may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 200 sheets at a time). Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies. Preventing Media Jams 73 Understanding the Media Path Understanding the printer's media path will help you locate media jams. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Media exit Output tray Transfer belt OPC drum cartridge Tray 1 (multipurpose tray) Fuser unit Duplex option Transfer roller Registration rollers 10 Pickup rollers Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray) Tray 1 is located at the left of the printer. The media is picked from Tray 1, passed between the transfer belt and the transfer roller, passed through the fuser, and delivered via the paper exit unit to the output tray on top of the printer. Duplex Option The media is picked from a media tray, passed between the transfer belt and the transfer roller, passed through the fuser, fed into the duplex option where the media undergoes a change in direction, cycles through the transfer belt and fuser again, and is delivered via the paper exit unit to the output tray, which is at the top of the printer. Since several sheets cycle through the printer/duplex unit at the same time, recovering from a media jam may require the removal of more than one sheet. 74 Understanding the Media Path Clearing Media Jams To avoid damage, always remove jammed media gently, without tearing it. Any pieces of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further jams. Do not reload media that has jammed. Attention The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you touch the printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be careful not to touch the print face when removing the jammed media. Unfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on. If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as much as possible. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off with water or a neutral detergent. WARNING! If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately and consult a doctor. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information can be found at www. konicaminolta. net/printer/ (click on "Answer Base"). If, after clearing the media jam, the jam message in the Status Display persists, open and close the printer's doors. This should clear the jam message. Handling Media Jams by Location Location of Jam Tray 1 Inside the printer Near the duplex option In the output tray Page Reference page 76 page 77 page 79 page 80 Clearing Media Jams 75 Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray) 1 2 Remove the media from Tray 1. Carefully remove the jammed media. 3 Fan the removed media to prevent static buildup and even up the front edges. Resulting static electricity may cause printing errors. 4 5 Reinsert the media printing face up. Make sure the media is lying flat and doesn't exceed the media limit mark. The media jam message is no longer displayed in the Status Display message window. 76 Clearing Media Jams Inside the Printer Media Path Jam 1 Pull the right door release lever, and then carefully open the right door. Attention Do not pull jammed media from the top of the printer through the fuser unit because unfused toner may contaminate the fuser rollers. If it is difficult to remove the jammed media, turn the misfeed-clearing dial counterclockwise to feed the media downward. 2 3 If a misfeed occurs in the vertical transport area, open the inner media guide, and then pull the misfed media down to remove it. [. . . ] Make sure that the power cord is: Switched off immediately and unpluged if the power supply cord is damaged. Correctly plugged into the socket and that the socket is visible at all times and is readily accessible. Not underneath the printer or another machine as this can result in damage to that cord. The result could be a fire or improper functioning of the unit in question. [. . . ]
