Installation
Software Utilities CD-ROM2
Software Utilities CD-ROM
If you followed all the steps in the Installation Guide that came with your
printer, then the printer is properly set up, connected to your computer,
plugged in, turned on, and ready to receive the system software, drivers, and
utilities on the Software Utilities CD-ROM.
Put the CD-ROM in your computer s CD-ROM drive, and the AutoInstaller ’
begins the installation process.
Automatic System Software Update
The AutoInstaller provides the option to upgrade the printer firmware when
installing a printer driver. This option may also be accessed from the
Additional Software selection on the AutoInstaller’s Main Menu.
If you attempt to download a previous version of system software, an error
page prints stating “Low Release Level.” This prevents an older version of
system software from being downloaded over a newer version.
The system software update aborts without operator intervention if the
system software on the CD-ROM is the same as, or older than, the one
currently installed on the printer controller.
If you are installing new system software, you may have to wait up to
10 minutes for the update. Do not interrupt the process.
Drivers and Utilities
The printer driver and additional software on the Software Utilities CD-ROM
can be installed on PC, Macintosh, and other computers using any of the
following:

Media Storage and Handling 15
Media Storage and Handling
How do I take care of media?
Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it.
If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging
and store in a cool, dark place.
When storing media, avoid
Moisture, excess humidity
Keep media between 30% to 65% relative humidity. Toner does not
adhere well to paper where it has become wet.
On the other hand, media that has been stored for a long time without
staying in its packaging may dry up too much and also cause jamming.
Direct sunlight
Excess heat (up to 86° F/30° C)
Dust
Leaning media against other objects or placed in an upright position
Before purchasing a large quantity or special media, do a trial printing with
the same media and check print quality.
What should I watch out for when handling media?
Attention
Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print
quality, media jams, or damage to the printer.
Do not use media that is
Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, digitally
gloss-coated media, heat-sensitive paper, heat-pressure paper,
heat-press transfer paper); colored paper that has been treated
Special media designed specifically for inkjet printers
Media that has already been printed on

General Notes about Media
If you’re printing simplex pages, load the media printing-side down in the mul-
tipurpose tray, but printing-side up in the other trays. The top of the sheets of
media should be toward the back of the printer.
Often, an arrow on the media package label indicates the printing side of the
media. If you can t determine which side of the media to print on, remove the ’
media from the tray, rotate the stack 180 , turn the stack over, and then place °
it back in the tray.
Attention
Do not allow media to go above the fill limit mark inside the tray or the
media may not be fed correctly.

Media Sizes and Print Area20
What is the imageable (printable) area
Each media size has a specific imageable area,
the maximum area on which the printer can print
clearly and without distortion.
This area is subject to both hardware limits (the
physical media size and the margins required by
the printer) and software constraints (the amount
of memory available for the full-page frame
buffer). The imageable (printable) area for all
media sizes is the page size minus 0.157"/4 mm
from all edges of the media.
All media is fed in portrait (short edge first) orientation, and all media is
output to the 250-sheet output tray on top of the printer.
What is the difference between a nonprintable and a
nonguaranteed area?
There is a 0.157"/4 mm nonprintable border for all edges on all media sizes
and types. Only envelopes have a nonguaranteed area.
Print orientation is determined by your application.
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 imageable area constraints). If you can
custom-size your page, use those sizes given for the imageable area for
optimum results.

Why have different print qualities?
The specific print quality that is best depends upon your particular needs.
For example, you can control the the amount of toner gloss.
Which print quality is best?
How do I choose print quality?
In the Windows printer driver (Features tab, Resolution [DPI] option), select
Quality.
You have the choice to customize the printing. For example, printing a glossy
(shinier) image on plain paper is less expensive, and you don’t have to load
two media types in your trays.
Test any stock to ensure that its performance is acceptable.

What is the difference between “glossy plain” paper and
“ ”coated stock ?
The “Glossy Plain” media type refers to the amount of gloss the toner has
when it is on the page. The image is glossy, not the media.
Coated stock is media that has a coating (shiny or otherwise) which may
not withstand the fusing temperature (between 316° ° F/158 C and 356° F/
180° C, depending on the media). Coated stock cannot be printed on the
magicolor 3300.
Since it may be difficult to tell whether media has a coating, check with
printer.konicaminolta.net/support (click on Answer Base) for currently
approved media.
Attention
Using unsupported media will result in damaging the printer and

occur.
Adhesive label stock is supported only in letter or A4
sheets.
A label consists of a face sheet (the printing surface),
adhesive, and a carrier sheet
—The face sheet must follow the plain paper
specification.
—The face sheet surface must cover the entire carrier
sheet, and no adhesive should come through on the
surface.
You can print continuously with label paper. However, this
could affect the media feed, depending on the media
quality and printing environment. If problems occur, stop
the continuous print and print one sheet at a time.

Notes Use uncoated transparencies. You may print colored text
and/or images on monochrome transparencies.
Remove transparency media as soon as possible from the
output tray to avoid builtup static.
Do not handle transparencies too much. Do not fan large
quantities of transparencies before loading. If you touch the
face of transparencies with your bare hands, print quality
may be affected.
You can print continuously with transparencies. However,
this could affect the media feed, depending on the media
quality, static buildup, and printing environment. If you have
problems loading a large number of transparencies at a
time, try loading only 1 10 sheets. For the 500-sheet media –
trays, try loading about 100 pages of plain paper first in the
tray to give more height to the transparency stack to reach
the feed rollers.

How do I prepare and load the media?
Preparing the Media
Don’t unwrap the paper above the
printer, as this might cause paper par-
ticles to fall into the printer. Don’t fan
large quantities of transparency
media.
1Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper.
2Holding a stack of approximately 500 sheets at a time, fan the stack to
prevent static buildup in the paper before inserting it in a tray.

Print envelopes on the front address
side only. Some parts of the
envelope consist of three layers of
paper—the front, back, and flap.
Anything printed in these layered
regions may be lost or faded.
Check your application documentation to determine if the flap
should be placed on the left or on the right. You can also print a
single envelope to check the orientation before printing multiple
copies.
10 Recheck the media guides to make sure they are adjusted to the width of
the envelopes.
11 Print the envelopes.

Introduction52
Introduction
Consumable Life Expectancies
What is a consumable?
A consumable is an item that needs to be replaced at regular intervals. For
the magicolor 3300, consumables include:
Fuser unit
Imaging unit
Media feed roller
Toner cartridges
Transfer unit
What are sheets, faces, and pages?
A sheet of media has two sides and can be printed either simplex
(one-sided) or duplex (two-sided). A simplex sheet, also referred to a face or
a page, is a single pass of the media past the printer s imaging unit while a ’
duplex page consists of two passes of the media past the imaging unit.
The number of sheets printed shown on the startup page may differ from the
sheets printed and faces printed statistics in CrownView and on the consum-
ables statistics page (Operator Control/Consumables/Print Statistics). The
numbers on the startup page refer to number of sheets/faces printed during
the lifetime of the printer.

Consumable Life Expectancies54
What is the life expectancy of consumables?
Attention
The stated life expectancy of each consumable based on printing under
specific operating conditions, such as media type (paper), page size
(simplex, letter/A4), coverage (normal 5% coverage), and job size (average
4-page jobs). These parameters provide optimal consumable life.
The actual life expectancy will vary (or be reduced) based on printing
under specific operating conditions and other printing variables, such as
intermittent printing (for example, one-page jobs), ambient temperature,
humidity, media type, page size, duplexing (a duplex page is equivalent to
two simplex pages), and content of material printed (for example, text or
graphics).
Starter Toner Cartridges
The printer ships with a full set of starter toner cartridges. At 5% coverage,
you can expect to print approximately 4,000 letter/A4 simplex pages (faces)
with the starter black toner cartridge and approximately 3,000 letter/A4 sim-
plex pages (faces) with the starter yellow, magenta, and cyan toner car-
tridges. (However, many factors also affect toner life expectancy. See the
notes at the end of the following table.)
Replacement Toner Cartridges
The following table lists the approxiate life expectancy of replacement toner

Toner cartridge life is directly related to the number of rotations of the OPC. Longest
unit life is achieved with continuous printing, which requires a cleaning rotation after
every fourth page of an average-size job. Intermittent printing with small job sizes
requires a cleaning rotation after each one-page simplex job, and therefore impacts
OPC life.
A toner cartridge contains enough toner to print letter/A4-size pages at the percent
coverage stated. However, other factors also affect toner life.

How do I order consumables?
Choosing the right consumables for your printer not only increases its
reliability and performance, but also minimizes the risk of damage. For
example, only KONICA MINOLTA toner cartridges are designed to meet the
exact specifications of your KONICA MINOLTA printer, giving maximum
performance, efficiency, and long life.
Toner cartridges (either single cartridges or in four-toner Toner Value Kits)
and other consumables for your printer are available from your local vendor
or Q-SHOP (www.q-shop.com).
Where can I get more information?
To access consumables usage information, use the Operator Control/
Consumables/Print Statistics menu on the control panel, or use the
CrownView printer web page.
For further information about the consumables statistics page and
replacement menus, refer to the Crown Books in PDF on the Software Utili-

Notes: *The imaging unit life is dependent on the average number of pages or the
toner coverage, whichever comes first. For example, if you print four-page simplex
jobs at 5% coverage, the maximum is 30,000 pages. If you print four-page simplex
jobs, and your black (or any color) toner has exceeded a total of 35% coverage, your
maximum is 15,000 pages. The highest coverage of color will lead the life of the
imaging unit, not the average of four colors. A simple display of pages remaining on
your imaging unit life is in your CrownView Statistics. For more information, see the
Crown Books in PDF on the Documentation CD-ROM.
