Software
Installation
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:

Introduction
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 multipurpose 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 Area
19
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.
A
B
C
A Nonprintable area 0.157"/4 mm
B Nonguaranteed area*
C Guaranteed area*
* Varies with envelope type
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.
20
Media Sizes and Print Area
Image Alignment
If for any reason, you need to change the image alignment, you can do so in
several different ways:
Adjust the margins or page size through your application (recommended
method).
Use the printer’s control panel (Administration/Engine/Image Alignment
menu).
Use the PostScript translate and scale operators to reduce image size
and change its placement on the page (requires PostScript programming
knowledge).
Output Tray
The single face-down output tray has a capacity of 250 sheets of 20 lb
(75 g/m2) bond paper. It is possible to load up to 1,100 sheets of media in the
printer (with an optional 1x500 HCIF installed) or 1,600 sheets of media (with
an optional 2x500 HCIF installed), but don’t forget the output tray has a limit.
Media
Try printing your data on a plain sheet of paper first to check placement.
All media is fed on the short edge.
Test any stock thicker than 28 lb bond (105 g/m²) to ensure that its
performance is acceptable. You should test the number of sheets of thick
stock a media tray can hold to ensure that its performance is acceptable.
Select Single User Mode or Network Mode (job modes) to specify
how media type requests are handled. For more information, refer to
the Crown Books in PDF format on the Software Utilities CD-ROM.
– In Single User Mode, you can select the media type and size from
the drivers. The driver will overwrite any settings on the printer.
– In Network Mode, if special media is not selected in both the driver
and from the printer’s control panel, the printer uses plain paper
settings.
Select print quality to control the speed of printing, the fuser
temperature, and the amount of toner gloss.
Select the media type.

23
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
voiding your warranty.

Avoid using labels with exposed adhesive; it may stick to
the fuser, 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.

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.

Attention
Although your printer was designed for occasional 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.

Duplexing
Select paper with high opacity for duplex (2-sided) printing. Opacity refers to
how effectively paper blocks out what is written on the opposite side of the
page. If the paper has low opacity (high translucency), then the printed data
from one side of the page will show through to the other side. For best results,
print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.
Only up to 28 lb bond (105 g/m²) plain paper can be autoduplexed.

Media jams may occur if the printed sheet(s) reinserted are not
entirely flat.
In the printer driver (Paper tab), select Simplex, then double-click OK.
In the Print Document screen, select All.
Select and print the Odd-Numbered Pages.
Remove the media, flip it over, and select and print the Even-Numbered
Pages.
How do I autoduplex?
Autoduplexing is available only on the magicolor 3300 DN or on the
magicolor 3300 EN with an optional duplex kit installed.
Refer to the tables in “System Memory (RAM) Requirements” on page
41 for information on how much memory is required for duplex printing. Very high coverage pages may revert to 600 dpi when duplex
printing if enough memory is not installed. With letter media, two
sheets are in the media path; with legal, only one is. Therefore, it
requires more memory to print the two sheets of letter media.
Attention
Duplexing envelopes, glossy stock heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/m2),
labels, postcards, thick stock heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/m2),
transfer media, and transparencies is not supported.

To print duplex (both sides of the sheet), load the media with the top of
the media toward the back of the tray. When printing from the
Upper or optional trays, load the media printing-side up.
Multipurpose tray, load the media printing-side down.

42
In autoduplexing, the back side is printed first and the front side is
printed last.
Set the driver—for example: in the Layout tab, Duplex Options, select
Long Edge (flipped horizontally as in a loose-leaf notebook), or Short
Edge (flipped vertically as on a clipboard) as the Duplex option.
Click OK.

PRISMLASER™ Technology
How does PRISMLASER work?
PRISM (Photo-Reactive Image Splitting Module) is
an all-in-one imaging unit technology where all four
color toners may be printed in one pass. The
photo-reactive image goes through an imagesplitting module where the colors are divided.
Color Management and Control
The magicolor 3300 offers a host of color screening, matching, and
calibration tools for both the beginner and professional color user.
KONICA MINOLTA Color Technology
Color management does not mean all devices will match exactly. It does
ensure the closest possible color transformation. The magicolor 3300
technology offers four methods for color matching across devices:
Automatic color correction
Supplied ICC printer profiles
Built-in color rendering dictionaries (CRDs)
Supplied PANTONE®* Color matching tables
*Pantone, Inc.’s check-standard trademark for color reproduction and color reproduction materials.
PRISMLASER™ Technology
49
The magicolor 3300 color technology automatically optimizes color output to
produce professional quality, colorized documents without the use of
sophisticated manual optimization techniques.
The following is a summary of KONICA MINOLTA automatic color correction
features:
Ease of use across applications: With automatic color correction, it’s as
easy to get great color from a PowerPoint presentation as it is from a
desktop publishing application, such as QuarkXPress. The magicolor
3300’s color matching methods are simple for both novice and
professional color users to navigate.
Single-button control: Whether accessing through the printer driver, or
from the printer’s front panel, single-button controls enable automatic
correction of uncalibrated RGB or CMYK color files.
Printer-resident CMS: Because automatic color correction is built into
the printer, it works well in all computing environments and with most
design, publishing, and office applications.
Industry-standard profiles: The magicolor 3300 uses industry-standard
ICC profiles for compatibility with popular input and output devices.
Supports host-based color management systems: Easily disable
automatic color correction when using host-based ColorSync or ICM color
matching.
Profiles for common monitors and output devices: The magicolor
3300 offers default color matching for a variety of common monitors and
printing presses.
Download device profiles: For custom color matching, the magicolor
3300 supports downloaded (to disk only) ICC profiles.
Support for Internet standard: The magicolor 3300 uses sRGB for
Internet-standard default color matching.
Individual page element correction: The magicolor 3300 separately
color corrects (matches) graphics, text, and images on a single page
using printer-resident CRDs.

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 consumables 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.
52
Introduction
The numbers in CrownView (a printer-based application for accessing printer
configurations, status, and consumables usage information) and on the
consumables statistics page refer to the number of sheets/faces printed to
date during the current consumables tracking period (Administration/
Consumables/Start Period menu).
When do consumables have to be replaced?
Attention
Failure to follow instructions as outlined in this manual could void your
warranty. Use of consumables not manufactured by KONICA MINOLTA
or use of non-supported print media may cause damage to your printer
and void your warranty. If KONICA MINOLTA printer failure or damage is
found to be directly attributable to the use of non-KONICA MINOLTA
consumables, KONICA MINOLTA 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.

Consumable Life Expectancies
53
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 simplex pages (faces) with the starter yellow, magenta, and cyan toner cartridges. (However, many factors also affect toner life expectancy. See the
notes at the end of the following table.)

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.

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.

If you need more assistance, information can be found at
printer.konicaminolta.net/support (click on Answer Base).
Replacing a Toner Cartridge
Characters and images are created in your laser
printer through a process that applies toner to
the photosensitive OPCs (Organic Photo
Conductors) inside your imaging unit. 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.
When a toner cartridge runs low, <COLOR> TONER LOW displays in the
message window. Printing continues even though the warning appears.
However, the color gradually fades, so replace the toner cartridge as soon as
possible. Approximately 100 sheets after detecting that toner in a cartridge is
low, the printer displays <COLOR> TONER EMPTY in the message window,
and the printer stops.
How should I handle toner cartridges?
Keep toner cartridges
Away from open flames.
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. If the toner cartridge is moved
from a cold place to a warm, humid place, condensation may occur,
degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to the environment for
about one hour before use.
Level during storage.
Do not 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.
Replacing a Toner Cartridge
57
How do I replace a toner cartridge?
The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your hands, wash them in
cool water and mild 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.
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

61
Replacing the Imaging Unit
The imaging unit contains 4 OPCs (Optical
Photo Conductors), 4 developers, and an
imaging unit transjnfer roller that forms the
image that is developed and transferred to the
media. When the imaging unit is worn out, the
message REPLACE IMAGING UNIT appears. After
the imaging unit is replaced, the printer automatically
resets the consumables count. Imaging unit life is directly
related to the number of rotations of the OPCs. Longest unit life is
achieved with continuous printing or minimum 4-page job size. Intermittent
printing with small job sizes requires a cleaning rotation after each one-page
simplex job, and therefore impacts OPC life.
Attention
The OPCs are extremely sensitive to bright light, direct sunlight, and
touch. Always leave the imaging unit in its protective package until
you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to light should be avoided and
limited to less than two minutes, or permanent damage could result.
If you suspect the OPCs are damaged due to exposure to light, put the
entire imaging unit in a dark place to recover. Depending on the amount
of exposure, recovery may take up to two hours. Recovery time is
dependent on the amount of exposure sustained, and recovery is not
guaranteed. Any damage resulting from mishandling of the OPCs will
void the warranty of the OPCs.

How do I replace the media feed roller(s)?
The media feed rollers feed media from the
media tray(s) into the printer. When the media feed
rollers deteriorate, media may not feed
correctly from the media tray, resulting in media jams.
Replace the media feed roller in each 500-sheet media
tray each time you replace the fuser unit.
Three media feed rollers are included with the fuser unit. If you do not have a
high-capacity input feeder (HCIF), you will have one or two rollers left over.

Handling the Printer
How do I handle the printer?
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause
damage.
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.
Do not tilt the printer more than 10° in any direction while moving it.
For best output quality and longest consumables life, keep the printer
on a hard, flat, level (within ±5°) surface. A surface can be tested for
levelness with a standard round pencil. If the pencil rolls, the surface
is not level.
Do not tap paper stacks on the printer.
Do not oil, lubricate, or disassemble the printer.
Do not touch the transfer roller cartridge, 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, the printer may experience media jams, excessive media curl, or
built-up static. Remove transparency media as soon as it’s printed.
Handle toner carefully.
Do not use partially full toner cartridges if they have been removed from
the printer and stored for a period of time. Take care to avoid toner spillage caused by shaking or bumping the toner cartridge.
72
The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with
cool water and 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.
Introduction
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 printer.konicaminolta.net/support (click on the Answer
Base).
Lift the printer from the bottom only, using the carrying grips. Make sure
that two people are available to lift the printer when moving it.
Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
Do not open any cover of the printer during printing.
Close the printer covers gently, and never expose the printer to vibrations.
Do not leave the printer’s covers open for any length of time, especially in
well-lit places; light may damage the imaging unit.
Attention
The OPCs in the imaging unit are extremely sensitive to bright light,
direct sunlight, and touch. Always leave the imaging unit in its
protective box until you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to light
should be limited to less than two minutes, or permanent damage
could result. Handle the unit carefully so you don’t touch the black
surface of the transfer roller.
Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until
it cools down. When the front cover is opened, the fuser temperature
drops gradually (one hour wait time).
Cleaning the Printer
What are the printer’s internal cleaning cycles?
The image unit performs an automatic cleaning rotation after every page of
one-page simplex jobs and pages longer than 14"/355.6 mm, and between
pages of multipage jobs, depending on the amount of processing required
between pages. Cleaning cycles also occur at intervals (as shown below)
depending on the number of simplex pages printed.The printer pauses for
approximately 30 seconds to do an automatic internal cleaning cycle during
long print jobs.

Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter explains automatic jam recovery, discusses how to locate,
remove and prevent media jams, presents tables of common status
messages, and actions you should take when a specific problem occurs, and
provides information to aid you in resolving printer problems you may
encounter, or at least guide you to the proper sources for help. You’ll also find
a problem checklist and the information you’ll need to have before placing a
service call if one becomes necessary.

Introduction
Printing a Status Page
There are three kinds of status pages:
Standard—A one-page overview of the most common printer settings
used to confirm that your printer is printing.
Demo—A standard status page with the addition of three graphics.
Advanced—Information about printer parameter settings, fonts, and
emulations available. The document may have many pages, depending
on the fonts installed. Print an advanced status page in case you need to
restore any current settings.
Select the type of status page you want to print through the Administration/
Special Pages/Status Page Type menu. Then print it in one of the following
ways:
On the printer’s control panel press the Print Status? button.
Use the printer’s Administration/Special Pages/Print Status menu.
Printing a Status Page
81
Direct PDF File Printing
our printer has the ability to print PDF files directly just as it does for
PostScript and PCL files. This can be a time-saving feature. Direct printing
removes the need to open the file in an application, such as Acrobat Reader,
then print the file via a PostScript or PCL driver. You printer supports PDF
version 1.3 and below. The PDF file can be sent to the printer using any
method (lpr, ftp, etc.) that is normally used to print PostScript or PCL files.
Direct PDF printing requires an optional internal hard disk.
Adjusting Memory Clients for PDF Printing
The unique structure of PDF files requires that you make some adjustments
to your printer’s default memory clients. All PDF files contain information at
the end of the files that is needed to correctly format them in the printer.
Because of this, the entire file must be spooled into the printer before it can
be interpreted. In order to spool the entire job into the printer, the Host Input
(Spool) memory client may need to be adjusted. To determine the required
size for the Host Input memory client, you first need to estimate the maximum
file size, add 10% to this number and this becomes your required Host Input
memory size. In the event that you experience problems, you may want to
increase the Host Input memory size further. The maximum size of PDF files
which may be printed on the magicolor 3300 is determined by the amount of
installed memory. Direct printing of complex or large PDF files may require
additional memory (RAM) and/or a hard disk. We recommend a hard disk for
optimum performance when printing large PDF files. Refer to the Crown
Books on how to adjust the memory clients.
Printing Preformatted Files Using CrownView
Your printer also provides a utility via the CrownView web page for printing
PDF files directly from the host using the browser. Users will be presented
with a Browse button that, when selected, will enable a file chooser on the
host. Users then select the file that they want to send to the printer, and the
file is transferred and printed.
Troubleshooting PDF Direct Printing from CrownView
If you are having problems printing large PDF files using direct printing or
CrownView from a PC or UNIX, increase the PS Wait Timeout.
Printing large PDF files from your web browser with the KONICA MINOLTA
CrownView feature may fail without any indication of an error. The job will
appear to start normally, but then flush without printing. The CrownView
screen will indicate that the file has printed.
82
Direct PDF File Printing
To correct the problem, increase the amount of time allowed before the PS
Wait Timer expires. The factory default setting for this timeout is 120 seconds.
Doubling the value to 60 seconds in the Administration/Communications/
Timeouts/PS Wait Timeout menu should correct most problems, or the value
can be set to 0 seconds, which effectively makes the timeout period infinite.
Direct PDF File Printing
83
Preventing Media Jams
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 have the correct media type selected if you’re printing on envelopes,
glossy stock (set as Thick 2 or Thick 3), labels, thick stock, or transparencies.
You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.
You always adjust the media width regulation guides in the media tray after
inserting the media (a guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor
print quality, paper jams, or printer damage).
If you’re printing simplex pages, make sure you load the media printing side
down in the multipurpose tray, but printing side up in the other trays. 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 a half-turn, turn the stack over, and then
place it back in the tray.
Avoid...
Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Double feeding (remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking together).
Fanning transparencies since this causes static.
Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
Overfilling the media input trays.
Allowing the output tray to overfill (the face-down output tray has a
250-sheet capacity—jamming may occur if you allow media to accumulate
more than 250 sheets at a time).
Buildup of transparencies in the output tray. This causes static electricity.
84
Preventing Media Jams
Automatic Jam Recovery
The printer provides automatic jam recovery (when enabled through the
Administration/Engine/Page 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. After the jam is
cleared, open and close the front door before printing. Printing will not
resume until you do this.
Automatic Jam Recovery
85
Understanding the Media Path
Understanding the printer’s media path will help you locate media jams. The
media tray is located at the bottom front of the printer. The media is picked
from the tray, passed under the imaging and transfer units, passed through
the fuser, and delivered via the paper exit unit to the media exit tray, which is
the top of the printer.

Understanding Media Jam Status Messages
When a jam occurs, the message window on the control panel displays one
of four messages: MEDIA JAM DUPLEX, MEDIA JAM FEED, MEDIA JAM

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.
To avoid damage to rollers, always remove jammed media gently.
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 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 printer.konicaminolta.net/support (click on the Answer
Base).
If, after clearing the media jam, the jam message in the control panel
window persists, open and close the front cover. This should clear the
jam message.

Plain paper and stock up to 28 lb
bond (105 g/m²) can be autoduplexed. For heavier weights,
manual duplexing is required. To
manually duplex, remove the
media, flip it over, and reload it.
We recommend not mixing media
types in your media tray. For the
exception, see “Transparency

than 28 lb bond (105 g/m²), or
transparencies.
Media may still be jammed.
Recheck the paper path and make
sure you have removed all of the
media jams. Open and close the
front door to reset the printer.
If you are manually duplexing,
media jams may occur if the
printed sheet(s) reinserted are
not entirely flat.
Remove the jammed media, then
remove the media from the tray

Status, Error, and Service Messages
Service Messages
A service message sometimes occurs as a result of an unusual combination
of events, not because of an actual problem. When the printer stops and a
service message displays in the message window, turn the printer off and
then back on. This often clears the service message indicator, and printer
operation resumes. Always try this before making a service call.
Service calls should be placed to the vendor from whom you purchased the
printer. If you cannot get service from your vendor, see the Service & Support
Guide for additional contact information.

Introduction
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.

cause the BuzzBox ribbon cable to stretch or twist.
Use the Velcro® attachment provided to mount the BuzzBox where the
printer operator can see and/or hear it.
A 14'/4.2 m cable is provided, but you can use up to a 500' cable (RJ-11
4-pin or 6-pin).
Connect the interface box to an electrical outlet.
A 110/220-volt adapter is provided in the US, and a universal power
supply is provided outside the US.
If you unplugged a parallel cable from the printer in step 1, attach the
cable to the parallel port on the interface box.
To test the BuzzBox, make sure its switches are on, then press the
printer’s Online key to take the printer off line.
You can use the BuzzBox switches to enable or disable the
buzzer, the light, or both. When the printer goes off line, the light
flashes and the buzzer sounds until the printer is placed back on
line or until the light and buzzer switches are turned off.
Using the BuzzBox
When the BuzzBox lights or buzzes, check the printer message window to
find out what has interrupted printing. See “Status, Error, and Service
Messages” on page 114 for a list of printer messages and how to respond
to them.
Remember that pressing the Online key to enter the printer configuration
menu triggers the BuzzBox alarm.
Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs)
Dual in-line memory modules (or DIMMs) are compact circuit boards with
surface-mount memory chips.
Your printer comes standard with 256 MB SDRAM printer memory. However,
you can upgrade it to a maximum of 512 MB of RAM through the installation
of additional DIMMs. Two DIMM slots are available. Additional memory must
be 64, 128, or 256 MB, PC-100 compliant SDRAM DIMMs.
Additional memory allows you to download more fonts and increase the
printer's buffer (area where data sent from the computer is stored while
Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs)
131
waiting to be printed). The amount of RAM installed in your printer governs
which resolutions can be used with each media size.
You may also need additional memory (DIMMs) for the following:
To print at maximum performance
To print complex graphics or complex PostScript documents
For increased collation performance
For increased spooling performance
How Much Memory Do You Need?
Check the startup page to make sure the printer has enough RAM installed.
To allocate the default amount of memory to the memory clients, use the
Memory/Quick Config menu to choose the correct resolution and paper size
for your printing (refer to the Crown Books for further information).
132
Quick Config is not displayed if a hard disk is installed; use Manual
Config.

Duplex Kit (Americas Only)
The duplex kit (designed for the magicolor 3300 EN) consists of a custom
integrated curcuit chip, which provides duplex printing and time-of-day clock
capability. Follow the instructions in “Time-of-Day Clock” on page 147 to
install integrated circuit chip.
Emulations, Fonts, and Other Software
Emulations
CGM is available as an optional emulation. This section describes how to
download an emulation to the printer’s hard disk.
You must have at least one hard disk, internal or external, attached to
the printer in order to use an optional emulation. If more than one hard
disk is available, the emulation automatically installs itself on the disk
with the most free storage space. We recommend that you have at
least 4 MB of memory above the base configuration and that you add
at least 1 MB memory for each emulation installed. This ensures that
the printer can run the emulation without slowing down performance.
Downloading an Emulation via PageScope Net Care
MINOLTA PageScope is a utility which provides access to printer management functions, including status monitoring and network/printer parameter
settings. We recommend that you use PageScope to download an emulation.
Refer to the PageScope online help on the Software Utilities CD-ROM for
instructions about downloading applets for telnet and ftp.

the following:
IDE hard disk with ribbon cable attached
IDE hard disk bracket
4 screws
Installation
Attention
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and any
associated circuit boards from electrostatic damage. Before performing
this procedure, review the antistatic caution on page 133. In addition,
always handle circuit boards by the edges only.
When installing or removing a hard disk, make sure that the metal support
posts (on the hard disk) do not come in contact with any of the electrical
leads on the chips mounted on the controller board. The controller board
will not function if any of the leads are broken or shorted together.

Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.
In compliance with UL guidelines, “The appliance inlet is considered to be the main disconnect device.”
When you print a startup page, verify that the hard disk is listed.
Media Trays
The printer comes with a 100-sheet multipurpose tray (tray 1) and a
500-sheet media tray (the standard upper tray—tray 2). The optional 1x500
high-capacity input feeder has one 500-sheet media tray (tray 5), and the
optional 2x500 high-capacity input feeder has two 500-sheet media trays
(trays 5 and 6). Additional trays may be purchased. Extra trays provide 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.

machine) surface. A surface can be tested for levelness with a standard
round pencil. If the pencil rolls, the surface is not level.
Close to an easily accessible grounded power supply (on an exclusively
dedicated power outlet) that meets printer specifications.
Near your computer—at the length 6.5'/2 m or less for an IEEE 1284
bidirectional parallel connection.
With enough space to allow adequate ventilation and easy servicing.
With an ambient temperature range of 50°–90° F/10°–32° C and relative
humidity range of 15%–85% (noncondensating).
At an altitude of 0–10,170'/0–3,100 m.
In a place away from the following:
Direct sunlight, heating and cooling sources, extreme temperature and
humidity changes, wind, dust, open flames, and items that can easily
burn.
A connection to the same electrical circuit as high-current machines,
noise-generating equipment (such as a copier or air conditioner), and
strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields (such as a refrigerator).
Water, water pipes, liquid (drink) containers, and corrosive chemicals or

Small, loose metal parts, such as paper clips and staples.
Do not tilt the printer more than 10° when moving it.
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.
Requirements
153
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.
Attention
Do not connect the groundwire to gas or water pipes or grounding for
telephones.
Power Requirements
WARNING!
Connect the power plug to an outlet with the same rated voltage as the
printer (120 or 240 V), and fused for at least 15 amperes (4 amperes for
240 V). No other devices should be connected to this outlet, as
overheating could cause fire or electric shock. The printer draws 8 A at
120 V, or 4 A at 240 V. Your printer requires a properly grounded AC
outlet with a rated line voltage of 120 V or 220–240 V. The grounding
terminal on the power cable should be connected to a good earth
ground to prevent electric shock and fire.
In compliance with UL guidelines, “The appliance inlet is considered to
be the main disconnect device.”

Consumable Life Expectancies
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 simplex pages (faces) with the starter yellow, magenta, and cyan toner cartridges. (However, many factors also affect toner life expectancy. See the
notes at the end of the following table.)

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.

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.

IPP
IPP has two meanings:
1
Internet Printing Protocol—Internet Printing Protocol allows you to print
remotely to any IPP-enabled printer through both intranets and the
Internet. All printers, including the magicolor 3300, that are shared on a
Windows 2000 (and higher)-based server are automatically made
accessible by using the Internet Printer Protocol (IPP). This technology
allows for electronic distribution of documents via the Internet, and
communication between the user and the printer. You can submit jobs,
inquire about the status of a printjob, and cancel a job.
Internet printing in Windows 2000 is automatically enabled by installing
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Clients that are running
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 (and later) with IPP printing support can
print to Internet printers. IPP (which is case-sensitive) is built on top of
HTTP, which in turn runs over TCP/IP.
a After the driver is installed, select Start/Settings/Printers/Add
Printer.
b Click Next; then select Network Printer; then click Next.
c Select “Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your intranet”.
d Enter the URL, for example: http://iphostname:80/printer_name.
iphostname:80 = printer name in the host table, or the printer IP
address. The iphostname is acquired from the System Administrator.
printer_name = the printer name given on the startup or status page
(do not include spaces or underscores in the name).
For instructions on changing your default printer name, refer to
the Crown Books.
e Click Next and follow the instructions on the screen.
f Print a test page, and verify that the test page printed.
Windows 98/95-based clients can install the add-on Internet printing
client from the Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM by using the following
command:
\clients\win9xipp.cli\wpnpins.exe

Internet Pull Printing—Internet Pull Printing is a way to download files
the printer can interpret already (such as PS, PCL, HPGL) and send them
to the printer without having to download them to a computer first.
Internet Pull Printing does not provide an HTML emulation that
prints web pages.
To do effective pull printing, you have to be able to access both “http” and
“ftp” methods.
Internet Pull Printing is activated through the printer’s web page
(CrownView). One of the menu selections you will see on the printer’s
browser page is Internet Pull Printing. When the menu item is selected,
you are presented with several fields to populate.
a No User name is required.
b Password is “admin” (all lower case, without the quotes).
c URL is the web address of the file you wish to print to the printer, for
example: http://newsite.test.com/testfile.ps.
The Use Proxy check box and the DNS/PROXY Settings are
fields that will best be addressed by your System Administrator
according to your network environment.
d Once the password and URL have been input, simply select the Pull
File button. You should receive a message that lists the URL address
and file, saying that it has been queued to print.
Internet traffic will factor into print speed and how fast the job is
received.
166
If you incur any error messages, or your file does not print,
contact your System Administrator to discuss the information
on the Use Proxy check box and the DNS/PROXY Settings
page.
