Types
Before purchasing a large quantity of special media, do a trial printing  
with the same media and check the print quality.
Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to  
load it. For a list of approved media, refer to printer.konicaminolta.com.
Plain Paper (Recycled Paper)
Use plain paper that is
„Suitable for plain paper laser printers, such as standard or recycled office 
paper.
Note
Do not use the media types listed below. These could cause poor print 
quality, media misfeeds, or damage to the printer.
DO NOT use plain paper that are
„Coated with a processed surface (such as carbon paper, and colored 
paper that has been treated)
„Carbon backed
„Unapproved iron-on transfer media (such as heat-sensitive paper, 
heat-pressure paper, and heat-press transfer paper) 
„Cold-water-transfer paper
„Pressure sensitive
„Designed specifically for inkjet printers (such as superfine paper, glossy 
film, and postcards)
„Already been printed on by another printer, copier, or fax machine
„Dusty
„Wet (or damp)
Keep media between 15% and 85% relative humidity. Toner does 
not adhere well to moist or wet paper.

Thick Stock
Paper thicker than 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) is referred to as thick stock. Test all 
thick stock to ensure acceptable performance and to ensure that the image 
does not shift.
You can print continuously with thick stock. However, this could affect the 
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If 
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.
DO NOT use thick stock that is

Use envelopes that are
„Common office envelopes approved for laser printing with diagonal joints, 
sharp folds and edges, and ordinary gummed flaps
Because the envelopes pass through heated rollers, the gummed 
area on the flaps may seal. Using envelopes with emulsion-based 
glue avoids this problem.

Label
A sheet of labels 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 adhe-
sive should come through on the surface.
You can print continuously with label sheets. However, this could affect the 
media feed, depending on the media quality and printing environment. If 
problems occur, stop the continuous printing and print one sheet at a time.
Try printing your data on a sheet of plain paper first to check placement. 
Check your application documentation for more information on printing labels.

Printable Area
The printable area on all media sizes is 
up to 4.0 mm (0.157) from the edges 
of the media.
Each media size has a specific print-
able area (the maximum area on which 
the machine can print clearly and with
-
out distortion). 
This area is subject to both hardware 
limits (the physical media size and the 
margins required by the machine) and 
software constraints (the amount of 
memory available for the full-page 
frame buffer). The printable area for all media sizes is the page size minus 
4.0 mm (0.157) from all edges of the media.
When printing in color on legal-size media, the bottom margin is 
16.0
 mm (0.63).

Envelopes can only be printed on their front sides (side where the recipient’s 
address is written). In addition, printing on the front side in the area overlap

ping the back flap cannot be guaranteed. The location of this area differs 
depending on the envelope type.
The envelope print orientation is determined by your application.
With the Envelope DL and C6 size (long edge feeding), the nonprint-
able areas on the left and right sides are 6 mm.
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 printable area constraints). If you can cus
