Replacing Consumables
1
Consumable Life Expectancies
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 (@ normal 5% coverage of letter/A4-size media). The actual life expectancy will
vary depending on these and other printing variables, including continuous or intermittent
printing, higher than normal coverage, ambient temperature, and humidity.
Replacing Consumables
Attention
Failure to follow instructions as outlined in the User’s Guide could result in voiding
your warranty.
The following messages indicate that a consumable needs to be replaced:

*A plane (also called an image) is a single pass of the OPC drum (one toner color). For example,
a black-only, single-sided (simplex) print job makes one pass, and a two-color (duplex) print job
makes four passes. A single-sided color page (also called a face) consists of four passes of the
OPC drum, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors. A two-sided color page may consist
of up to eight passes of the OPC drum, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors. Stated
consumable life is expressed at 5% in simplex letter/A4 pages. A duplex page is equivalent to two
simplex pages.
The number of sheets/faces printed shown on the startup page differs from the number of sheets/
faces printed statistics in CrownView. The numbers on the startup page refer to number of sheets/
faces printed during the lifetime of the printer. The numbers in CrownView refer to the number of
sheets/faces printed to date during the current consumables tracking period.
Ordering Consumables
Choosing the right consumables for your magicolor 2200 DeskLaser printer not only
increases its reliability and performance, but also minimizes the risk of damage.
For example, only MINOLTA-QMS toner cartridges are designed to meet the exact
specifications of your MINOLTA-QMS printer, giving maximum performance, efficiency,
and long life.
Toner cartridges and other consumables for the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser are available
from your local vendor or Q-SHOP (www.q-shop.com). See the Service & Support Guide
for the telephone number of the MINOLTA-QMS office nearest you for information on
ordering.
Replacing Toner Cartridges
Characters and images are created in your laser printer through a process that applies toner
to the photosensitive (OPC) drum (which functions like photographic film). Your printer
Replacing Toner Cartridges

uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges
carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself.
The carbon-particle toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your hands, wash them in cool
water or a neutral detergent. If you 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, provided your clothing is washable.
Attention
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.minolta-qms.com
(click on the Answer Base).
Toner Cartridge Life
A toner cartridge contains enough toner (yellow, magenta, cyan, or black) to print a
maximum of 6,000 (@ normal 5% page coverage) letter/A4-size pages.
When toner runs low in a cartridge, X TONER LOW displays in the message window (X
indicates the toner color). It’s your option whether to continue printing; usually, parts of
the page print lighter.
When toner is low, it’s sometimes helpful to take the cartridge out of the printer and
redistribute the toner by gently rocking the cartridge horizontally side to side (as you do
for a new cartridge) five or six times. Then reinstall the cartridge.
The printer, approximately 100 pages after detecting that toner in a cartridge is low,
displays X TONER EMPTY in the message window (X indicates the toner color). Printing
continues even though the out-of-toner warning appears. However, the color gradually
fades, so replace the toner cartridge as soon as possible.

Replacing Toner Cartridges
Toner Cartridge Handling
Attention
Do not hold a toner cartridge vertically. Do not touch the
toner roller surface or the protective shutter . This
could lower image quality.
Keep toner cartridges:
In their packaging until you’re ready to install them
In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat)
The maximum storage temperature is 95° F (35° C) and the maximum storage humidity is 80% without condensation.
Level during storage
Do not stand or store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner
inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.
Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols
Away from disk drives and floppy disks
The magnets in the cartridges can damage stored data.

Refilled Toner Cartridges
Use of consumables not manufactured by MINOLTA-QMS may cause damage to your
printer and void your warranty. If MINOLTA-QMS printer failure or damage is found to
be directly attributable to the use of non-MINOLTA-QMS consumables, MINOLTA-QMS
will not repair the printer free of charge. In this case, standard time and material charges
will be applied to service your printer for that particular failure or damage.

Replacing the OPC Drum, Laser Lens Cover, and Waste
Toner Pack
Attention
The OPC drum is extremely sensitive to bright light and direct sunlight. Always
leave it in its protective bag until you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to light
should be avoided, or permanent damage could result. Any damage resulting from
mishandling of the OPC drum will void the warranty of the OPC drum. Also, handle
the cartridge carefully by its sides so you don’t touch the surface (the green part) of
the drum. The drum is also extremely sensitive to hand oils and scratches, both of
which reduce print quality.
When the OPC drum is worn out, the message REPLACE DRUM appears. The printer will
not print until the drum kit is replaced.
When you replace the OPC drum cartridge after a DRUM LOW or REPLACE DRUM
message displays in the message window, the printer automatically recovers. However, the
replaced waste toner pack consumables monitoring system must be reset.
The three items below are included in the OPC drum kit. If one needs replacing, replace
all three items.
Waste toner pack
OPC drum cartridge
Laser lens cover
The OPC drum life is directly related to the number of rotations of the drum. Longest
drum life is achieved with continuous printing. Intermittent printing with small job sizes
requires cleaning rotations before and after each job, and subsequently will impact OPC
life.

Notes
Avoid using labels with exposed adhesive; it may stick to the transfer belt or
the fuser roller, causing labels to peel off and media jams to 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.
Check your application documentation for other information on
printing labels.

Notes
If you touch the face of transparencies with your bare hands, print quality
may be affected.
Do not handle transparency media too much. Do not fan transparency media
before loading it. Resulting static electricity may cause printing errors.
Keep the media path clean. Transparencies are especially sensitive to a dirty
media path. If there are shadows on either the top or the bottom of the
sheets, see “Printer Care” on page 80.
You can print continuously with transparencies. 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.
Check your application documentation for other information about printing on
transparencies.
Media Types
39
Loading Media
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a ream of paper.
Holding a stack of approximately 250 sheets at a time,
fan the stack to prevent static buildup for the paper
before inserting it in a tray.
Attention
Always load the media short edge first.
Attention
Do not mix media of different sizes, types, or weights, as this will cause
printer jamming.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it with the
new media, even the edges, then reload it. Although the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser
was designed for printing on a wide range of media types, it is not intended to print
exclusively on a single media type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media
other than plain paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may
adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.
For media other than standard plain paper or transparencies, both the driver (Paper
tab, Paper Type option) and the MP Size key on the control panel need to be selected.
It is important to use the MP Size key to set the multipurpose tray to the appropriate
media size in order to obtain optimum printing results.
Autoduplexing
Duplex (2-sided) printing can be done automatically with the optional duplex unit
installed.
40
Only up to 28 lb bond (105 g/m²) plain paper can be duplexed.
Loading Media
If you are printing duplex from the upper or optional tray, load the media printing-side
down with the top of the media (or letterhead or memo information) toward the right side
of the tray. If you are printing duplex from the multipurpose tray, load the media
printing-side up with the top of the media toward the printer. Set the driver, for example:
1
In the printer driver, make sure you have selected Duplexer and clicked on the
Add button.
2
In the printer driver, select Simplex (one-sided pages), or Long Edge (flipped horizontally as in a loose-leaf notebook), or Short Edge (flipped vertically as on a clipboard) as the Duplex option.
3
Click OK.

Flex the envelope stack (including the edges) to remove any stiffness.
Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and flatten them by pressing down the corners.
Correct any bent corners, and then tap the envelopes on a flat surface to align them.
Place the envelope stack into the multipurpose tray with the flap-side up.
Check your application documentation to determine if the flap should be placed on
the left or on the right. Print a single envelope to check the orientation before printing multiple copies.
5
Adjust the media guides to the width of the envelopes.
Make sure the guides are snug enough to keep the envelopes straight, but not so tight
that they buckle the envelopes.
6
Open the flap of each envelope immediately (before it cools) after the envelope is
delivered to the output tray.
Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed area on the flaps
may seal. Using envelopes with emulsion-based glue avoids this problem.

Configuring the Printer Driver
53
You should configure your printer driver settings via the printer device properties and
document defaults properties for your typical print jobs and use your application’s
printer setup method for print jobs that require special, less frequently needed printer
settings.
Because Windows NT remembers the configuration changes you make to the driver,
reinstalling the driver does not restore the factory default configuration.
Five tabs appear in the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser Properties window through the Start
menu: General, Ports, Color Management, Scheduling, Sharing, and Security. The tabs
and a summary of the options found on each are as follows:
54
General—Allows you to name the printer, specify a location, specify a driver to be
used, install a new or updated printer driver, use a separator page between documents,
specify a specialized print processor/data type, and print a test page. See your Windows documentation.
Ports—Lists the available ports (under Ports), the associated port monitor (under
Description), and a comma-delimited list of printers that use the port (under Printer).
Allows you to add, delete, or configure ports. It also allows the printer to get setting
and status information from other printing devices, and enables printer pooling (printing to two or more identical printing devices through one logical printer). See your
Windows documentation.
Color Management—Allows you to select the color profile associated with your
printer or allow the operating system to make the selection for you. See your Windows
documentation.
Scheduling (Windows NT 4.0) or Advanced (Windows 2000)—Allows you to configure the printer for availability, set spooling information, and define default document printing priority. See your Windows documentation.
Sharing—Allows you to share the printer and install alternate drivers. See your Windows documentation.
Security—Allows you to modify the permissions to limit access on the printer, view
or set auditing information, or view or take ownership of the selected item(s). See
your Windows documentation.
Configuring the Printer Driver
The Paper, Page Layout, Image, Device Options, and About tabs—accessible from your
application’s printer setup and from document default properties are explained in the
“32-bit SuperDriver Setup,” section that follows.
32-bit SuperDriver Setup
Printer Driver Controls for Windows Me/2000/NT4/98/95
The printer driver application does not fully display when monitor resolution is set to
640x480 pixels. You must increase your monitor resolution to 600x800 pixels or greater
for full viewing of the application window. See your operating system online help for
information about changing your monitor resolution setting.
The following pages in this section describe the function and available settings for the

Use Driver’s matching—Uses the driver’s ICC color profile files to apply
color matching to bitmap objects. When selected, the drop-down list for
Images, Graphics, and Text allows you to select from the following choices:
Perceptual—optimized for printing photographic images. Colors that are out
of the printer's gamut (color range) are replaced with the closest color within
the gamut. When this substitution is made, other specified colors, whether in
the printer's gamut range or not, are equivalently adjusted so that the overall
image appearance and contrast is maintained.
Colormetric—optimized for printing spot colors, such as logos and single
solid colors where hue accuracy is crucial. For those colors that can’t be produced on the printer, the closest color the printer can produce is substituted.
Saturation—optimized for printing presentation graphics, such as overhead
transparencies, spot color and text, and documents requiring a high level of
color saturation. With this selection, the intensity of the colors is most closely
matched.
Default
Use Driver’s matching.
Notes
The ICC profile file (DL220012.ICM —1200x600 resolution) is located in the

the Crown Print Monitor (Windows 2000 users can use the print monitor that comes
with the operating system).
Parallel
Refer to your Windows online help for information on sharing printers and files. See
“Plug and Play Printer Driver Installation,” in the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser
Installation Guide for installation instructions.
Sharing the Printer
75
Using the Crown Print Monitor
The Crown Print Monitor (CROWNMON) for Windows is designed specifically for
MINOLTA-QMS printers using TCP/IP protocol to transport print jobs and to access
printer status information.
The Crown Print Monitor’s Print Spooler (both workstation and server versions) controls
the printing environment for both local and remote print jobs submitted through shared
resources via TCP/IP. The Print Spooler “monitors” or “despoolers” are configured to
service print jobs in a particular queue.
Components
Status component
This component obtains information from the printer, such as print job “go/nogo”
and error or warning conditions. Status information displays in Print Manager
through the print queue status dialog box. Status information comes from either the
Windows Print Spooler, the Crown Print Monitor, or the printer, depending on where
the job is in the printing process. See chapter 5,“Troubleshooting,”for more information on status messages.
Send component
The Crown Print Monitor uses TCP/IP socket 35 for high-performance data transfer.
This component transports print jobs to a specific MINOLTA-QMS print device.
When a job is sent to a print device by the Crown Print Monitor, it utilizes all allocated Windows operating system resources to transport the job. If a connection is
broken while a job is being transported, the monitor gives control back to the Print
Monitor Print Spooler. Any job sent to the printer while it is recovering from the
break in communication is flushed from the Windows print queue.
Configuration component
This component configures the port name, Internet address, time delays, and problem sound alert. It consists of the Add MINOLTA-QMS Port and Configure
MINOLTA-QMS Port dialog boxes. All configuration changes made via this component are automatically recorded in the Windows system registry.

Introduction
Keeping the printer clean and updated with the latest system software allows you to
take full advantage of printer features and capabilities. This chapter describes how to
clean the printer and how to update the system software.
Printer Care
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse 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:
When cleaning the printer, always turn it off (O) and unplug it. Disconnect all
interface cables before cleaning inside the printer.
If you have an optional 5-bin mailbox installed, turn the printer off first, then turn
off the mailbox.
Either clean the printer before use, or allow time after unplugging it to allow the
fuser unit to cool down.
Attention
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 or removing paper jams, as the fuser unit and
other internal parts may become very hot.
Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.
WARNING!
Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise, the printer will be damaged
and an electric shock may occur.
80
Introduction
Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printer’s 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 area of your
printer to check the solution's performance.
Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads.
Always close the printer covers gently. Never expose the printer to vibrations.
Do not put a cover on the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until it
cools down.
Do not leave the printer’s covers open for any length of time, especially in well-lit
places; light may damage the OPC drum cartridge.
Do not open the printer during printing.
Do not tap paper stacks on the printer.
Do not tilt, lubricate, or disassemble the printer.
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 tray at minimum level. If the media stacks too high, your
printer may experience media jams and excessive media curl.
Lift the printer from the bottom only, using the carrying grips and the carrying bars.
Make sure two people are available to lift the printer when moving it.
When moving the printer, keep the printer level to avoid toner spillage.
If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with cool water and neutral detergent.
WARNING!
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information can be found at www.minolta-qms.com
(click on the Answer Base).
Printer Care
81
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 printer’s covers and
the interior of the printer body.
Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in
the printer.
See chapter 8, “Repacking the Printer,” for printer storing and shipping instructions.
Cleaning
You should perform a thorough cleaning every 30,000 single-sided pages or 12 months,
whichever comes earlier.
Always test any cleaning solution (such as a mild detergent) on a small area of your printer
to check the solution’s performance.

Updating System Software
The system software in your magicolor 2200 DeskLaser is stored in flash ROM, read-only
memory that can be erased and rewritten to “in a flash.” This allows you to update the
system software through the printer interface without opening up the printer and installing
new PROMs. The system software is updated by sending a specified file to the printer.
Downloading Methods
You can use Ethernet TCP/IP or a parallel connection to download the system file to the
printer.
Download Method
See
Ethernet TCP/IP
“Downloading the System File via Ethernet (TCP/IP)” on page 84.
Parallel
“Downloading the System File via Parallel” on page 87.
System File
To perform an update you need to download a system file to your printer. The system file
filename identifies the system version number and ends with an .img filename extension.
The printer must remain inactive during the download process.

The magicolor 2200 DeskLaser provides automatic jam recovery (when enabled through
the Engine/Error Recovery menu). After you remove any jammed media, printing
automatically resumes from the page the printer stopped at when the jam occurred.
For automatic jam recovery to work, it is necessary to leave the printer turned on when
you remove the jammed media.

Media Tray
The media tray(s) is (are) located at the bottom front of the printer. The media is picked
from the tray, passed under the OPC drum cartridge and the transfer belt, passed through
the fuser, and delivered via the paper exit unit to the output tray on top of the printer.
92
Understanding the Media Path
Multipurpose Tray
The multipurpose tray is located at the right of the printer. The media is picked from the
multipurpose tray, passed under the OPC drum cartridge and the transfer belt, passed
through the fuser, and delivered via the paper exit unit to the output tray on top of the
printer.
Duplex Unit (optional)
The media is picked from a media tray, passed under the transfer belt, passed through the
fuser, fed into the duplex unit 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 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.
To manually duplex, remove the media, flip it over, and reload it.
5-bin Mailbox (optional)
The 5-bin mailbox is located on the top of the printer. The media is picked from the tray,
passed under the transfer belt, passed through the fuser, and delivered via the paper exit
unit to the 5-bin mailbox, which is on top of the printer.
Understanding the Media Path
93
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 paper 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. Make sure not to spill any toner inside
the printer. Unfused toner can dirty your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on. If
you accidentally get toner on your hands, wash them in cool water. 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,
provided your clothing is washable. 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 with cool water and consult a doctor.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information can be found at www.minolta-qms.com
(click on the Answer Base).
If, after clearing the media jam, the jam message in the control panel window persists,
open and close the printer’s covers. This should clear the jam message.

Antistatic Protection
Attention
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and any associated
daughterboard or module from electrostatic damage while performing any task
involving the controller board.
If an antistatic wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach one end of it
to your wrist and the other end to any convenient electrical ground (for example, the
bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the back of a computer, that is plugged in but
turned off). Never attach the wrist strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical
current present. Turn off all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted
metal surfaces, and telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn’t
an acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you
perform this task. If you don’t have an antistatic wrist strap, discharge your body’s
static electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer
boards or components and before removing the controller board. Also avoid walking
around after grounding yourself.
Dual In-Line Memory Module
A Dual in-line memory module (or DIMM) is a compact circuit board with surface-mount
memory chips. Your magicolor 2200 DeskLaser printer comes with 32 MB of memory.
However, you can upgrade to a maximum of 96 MB of RAM through the installation of an
additional DIMM. Additional memory must be an approved 64 MB, PC-100 Compliant
SDRAM DIMM. To see a listing of approved memory vendors and part numbers, visit our
website at www.minolta-qms.com.
Additional memory increases the printer’s buffer (area where data sent from the computer
is stored while waiting to be printed).
Antistatic Protection
151
Installation
Attention
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and the DIMM from
electrostatic damage. Before performing this procedure, review the antistatic caution
on page 151. Always handle circuit boards by the edges only.
1
Ensure that the printer is turned off and the power cord and all interface cables are
disconnected.
2
Remove the printer’s controller board.
Loosen five screws and, using the tab on the top
of the connector panel, pull the controller board
from the printer.
3
Position the controller board on a flat surface.
4
Insert the new DIMM straight down into the
DIMM connector until the latches snap into the
locked position.
Observe the keyed side of the DIMM to align it
with the connector. When seated, the DIMM
stands upright, firmly in place. If you cannot
snap the DIMM into place, do not force it.
Reposition it, making sure that the bottom of the
DIMM is seated completely in the connector.

Reinstall the controller board into the printer.
Gently slide the controller board into the printer until it is fully seated, and then
secure the board using the five screws removed in step 2.
Media Trays
The printer comes with a 500-sheet media tray (the upper tray—tray 2). The lower feeder
unit has another 500-sheet optional media tray (the optional tray—tray 5) that provides
two main benefits:
Expanded flexibility to switch media size, color, and type without having to unload
and load media.
Increased media-feed capacity
Keep replacement trays close by, so you can easily change media by slipping one tray out
and another in.
Media trays accommodate only letter/A4/legal media.
Crown Conversion Kit
The magicolor 2200 DeskLaser to magicolor 2200 Crown conversion kit allows you to
upgrade your printer to take advantage of the features that are available on the
magicolor 2200 Crown printer. See the documentation included with the kit for
installation instructions.
Printer Stand/Cabinet
A variety of printer stands and cabinets are available for your printer. Follow the
assembly instructions included with this accessory.

CrownView
MINOLTA-QMS CrownView is a printer-based application using your printer’s IP
connection to your network and the World Wide Web portion of the Internet as a
framework for the magicolor 2200 DeskLaser. This feature allows you to monitor printer
consumables as well as access information that is normally available only by printing a
status page.
Inside your new MINOLTA-QMS printer resides an HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol)
based web page that can be accessed from the most common web browser software, such
as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This web page gives you access to
the most frequently accessed printer configurations and gives you instant access to printer
status. Anyone on your company intranet can access the MINOLTA-QMS printer through
their web browser software.
The sample windows and dialog boxes shown in this chapter are as they appear in
Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, and coincide with the step-by-step
instructions provided.

The printer web page can be accessed only through the assigned name of the printer or the
IP address. It is more convenient for you to use a name than the address. The name for the
printer comes from the IP host table on the computer system and is usually assigned by the
system administrator, for example, magicolor 2200 DeskLaser.
Setting Up Your Browser Software
Since your printer will reside on your intranet and will not be accessible beyond the
firewall of your network, you must set up the proper “preferences” in your browser
software. Your printer name or IP address must be added to the “no proxy” list in the
preferences dialog box of the browser.
You need to do this procedure only once.
The sample screens in this chapter may be different from yours depending on your version
and platform in use.
Japanese characters may not appear correctly if you are using an early release of
Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. For Netscape Navigator users, we
recommend using Netscape Navigator version 6 or greater; for Microsoft Internet
Explorer users, we recommend using Internet Explorer version 5 and greater.

A surface can be tested for levelness with a standard round pencil. If the pencil rolls,
the surface is not level. Clear the area of any obstruction or items such as cables
that might prevent the printer from sitting directly on the flat, level surface.
In an area with an ambient temperature range of 50°–95° F (10°–35° C) and relative
humidity range of 15%–85% (noncondensating).
Away from cooling and heating sources, extreme temperature or humidity changes,
direct sunlight, excessive dust, corrosive chemicals or vapors (such as ammonia),
Requirements
177
water pipes, refrigerators, and any strong electromagnetic field (such as that created
by an air conditioner), open flames, or items that can easily burn, or items that produce
excessive vibration.
If the printer is located in a cold room that is rapidly heated, or if the printer is moved
from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur within the printer,
degrading print quality. If this occurs, allow the printer to adapt to the environment
for about one hour before use.
Away from water.
If using a humidifier or water vaporizer in the room with the printer, use only purified
or distilled water. Impurities in the water may be released into the air, where they can
accumulate inside the printer and cause degraded printer output.
At an altitude of 0–8202' (0–2500 m).
Near your computer—6.5' (2 m) or less for an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel connection; cables for other connections may be longer.
Close to an easily accessible grounded power supply on an exclusively dedicated
power outlet.
WARNING!
Do not connect the groundwire to gas or water pipes or grounding for telephones.
Not connected to the same electrical outlet as noise-generating equipment. If the
printer is connected to the same circuit used by other high-current machines, such as a
copier or air conditioner, or to an electrically noisy machine, low voltage or noise may
cause overheating, computing errors resulting in data loss, and improper performance.
In a well-ventilated area, but away from wind.
With enough space to allow adequate ventilation and easy servicing.
Attention
Obstructing the ventilation grilles could present a fire hazard.
178
Requirements
Computer Requirements
Printer performance depends upon the type of computer to which you connect it. We
recommend a Pentium-class computer with at least 16 MB of RAM (if you’re using
Windows Me/98/95) or 32 MB of RAM (if you’re using Windows 2000/NT4).
ENERGY STAR Compliance
All models of the magicolor 2200 are compliant with
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY
STAR regulations. After a specified period of inactivity,
the printer changes to a low-power state (the engine
remains on, but the fuser turns off). When a print job is
received, the printer returns to normal power within a
user-configurable time period.
Year 2000 (Y2K) Compliance
MINOLTA-QMS would like to reassure its customers by
pointing out that the design of its products precludes the
possibility of Year 2000 errors.
There are two instances when time and date information is
provided by MINOLTA-QMS printers: when information
about a print job is stored in the MINOLTA-QMS accounting
file, and when a time stamp is printed on the header and/or
trailer page. Date and time information that appears on the header and/or trailer
page is passed to the MINOLTA-QMS printer by the host computer. Since this
information is passed in real time, it is virtually impossible for there to be any
confusion regarding the century date. The real-time clock used to apply the time
stamp to the accounting files stores the year as four digits and is designed to
correctly handle leap year calculations, including the Year 2000.
