Konica Minolta magicolor 1690MF User Manual

							Printable Area 3-10
Envelopes
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 size (long edge feeding), the nonprintable 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-
tom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the printable 
area for optimum results.

How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a 
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx-
imately 200 sheets at a time, fan the 
stack to prevent static buildup before 
inserting it in a tray.
Note
Although this machine 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, or thick stock) may adversely affect 
print quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it 
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. 
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media mis-
feeds.
Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray)
For details on the types and sizes of media that can be printed from Tray 1,
