Printer Status Monitor Center locates network printing devices by using the Service Location Protocol (SLP), and only supports printing devices responding to KONICA MINOLTAspecific SLP and PJL queries such as the magicolor 2300 DL, the magicolor 2430 DL, the magicolor 5430 DL, the mag-icolor 5440 DL and the magicolor 2530 DL.

    DuplexingSelect paper with high opacity for duplex (double-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. Check your application for margin information. For best results, print a small quantity to make sure the opacity is acceptable.Duplex (Double-sided) printing can be done automatically with the duplex option installed and selected.

    Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse handling 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.
