sheets of plain, recycled, or
letterhead paper.
If the paper is curled, flatten it before
loading it.
Align the edges of the paper, and
then load it into the tray with its print
side up.

Often, an arrow on the media
package label indicates the
face-up (print) side of the
media.
Do not load paper above the
media limit mark.
Slide the front media guide against
the edges of the loaded media.
Attention
Always adjust the media guide
after inserting the media. A guide
that is not properly adjusted can
cause poor print quality, media
jams, or printer damage.

Output Tray
All media is output to the output tray on top of the printer. An OUTPUT FULL/
REMOVE MEDIA message appears in the message window when the
face-down output tray has reached its capacity.
Depending on the media type and the
conditions of the operating environment,
media may fall out of the output tray. If this
occurs, use the media stopper.
Remove transparencies as soon as possible from the output tray to avoid
static buildup.
26
Transparencies may be bent in
the output tray, depending on the
type of transparency and the
operating environment. To
improve stacking of
transparencies, put the media
output tray extension in place
before printing.

Installing Accessories
Attention
Always turn off and unplug the printer while installing accessories.
If you purchased any additional printer accessories (such as an optional
lower feeder unit, duplex unit, or additional memory), then install them now. If
installation instructions are included with the accessory, follow them. If not,
instructions are included in the User’s Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Plugging in/Turning on the Printer

2
Make sure the printer is turned off.
Plug the printer power cord into the printer
and into a dedicated, grounded,
surge-protected electrical outlet.
3
In compliance with UL guidelines,
“The appliance inlet is considered to
be the main disconnect device.”
Turn on the printer.
After approximately 100 seconds, READY/
MAGICOLOR 7300 appears in the message
window. A start page prints.
If READY/MAGICOLOR 7300 is not displayed
in the message window, recheck the setup.
Attention
Never turn off or unplug the printer while it is receiving data, printing, or
performing its automatic adjustments while it is in the Energy Saver
mode. Before turning off the printer, check that the printer is ‘IDLE’.
The printer automatically switches to power-saving (Energy Saver) mode
after 30 minutes of inactivity. You can change the number of minutes in the
SYS DEFAULT/ENERGY SAVER/SLEEP TIMER menu.

About the Interface Panel
Parallel Port Use a Centronics IEEE 1284 bidirectional
parallel cable when connecting the parallel
port on the printer to the parallel port on
your computer.
USB Port Use a USB 1.1 cable (Type B) when
connecting the USB port on the printer to
the USB port on your computer.
Ethernet Port Use a twisted-pair (RJ45) Ethernet cable
when connecting the Ethernet port on the
printer to a 10BaseT/100BaseTX network
connection.

You have now completed the hardware setup of your printer. There are some
more important steps:

If your language is other than English, refer to “Selecting a Message
Window Language” on page 35. Select the message window language
you prefer.
If you are connecting via parallel or USB, skip to Step 3. If you are
connecting via Ethernet, set your IP (Internet Protocol) address.
With DHCP—If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), your IP address will be automatically assigned by
the DHCP server when you turn on your printer (refer to the Reference
Guide, in PDF on the Documentation CD-ROM).
Without DHCP—If you are not using DHCP, you may set the IP address
in one of two ways:
Use the KONICA MINOLTA installation software. Refer to the Software Utilities CD-ROM.

28
Set the printer’s IP address manually. Refer to “Manually Selecting an
Ethernet IP Address” on page 36.
Connect the printer to your computer or a network.

Insert the Software Utilities CD-ROM and follow the instructions on the
screen to install a printer driver and printer utilities. There are several
installation options, depending on your host environment.
Windows—Use the CD-ROM AutoInstaller for the easiest installation.
If you prefer to install a printer driver and utilities manually, refer to
“Software Installation” in the User’s Guide, in PDF on the
Documentation CD-ROM.
Windows NT does not support Plug & Play. When you see the
pop-up menu to select where to install the driver from, select
“Specify a Location.” Do not select “from CD-ROM” for the
driver location.
Macintosh—Use the Macintosh Installer on the CD-ROM to install a
PPD and other utilities.
If the installation cannot be performed, even after the CD-ROM
is specified, specify the location of the installer.
To complete the connection, refer to “Software Installation” in the
User’s Guide, in PDF on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Linux—Refer to “Software Installation,” in the User’s Guide, in PDF

Safety Information
Toner
Do not throw the toner cartridge or toner into an open flame.
The hot toner may scatter and cause burns or other damage.
CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children.
Laser Safety
This printer is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the
laser, provided the printer is operated according to the instructions in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housings and external covers,
the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product. This means that the printer does not produce
hazardous laser radiation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiant Power: 7.351 µW at laser aperture of the print head unit
Wavelength: 770–800 nm
This product employs a Class IIIb Laser Diode that has an invisible laser beam.
The laser diode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the print head unit.
Laser Aperture and Laser Caution Label
The internal components of the print
head unit are NOT A FIELD
SERVICEABLE ITEM. Therefore, the
print head unit should not be opened
under any circumstances.

During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not large enough to harm
anyone adversely. However, be sure the room where the printer is being used has adequate ventilation,
especially if you are printing a high volume of materials, or if the machine is being used continuously over
a long period.
