Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL Troubleshooting




Konica Minolta released the Magicolor 2530 DL printer in the summer of 2006. This printer is designed for small offices or home offices, with a maximum output of 20 pages per minute in black and white and five pages per minute in color. The maximum resolution is 2400 dots per inch by 600 dots per inch. This printer is no longer available for sale new, but replacement cartridges can still be found. As with all printers, the Magicolor 2530 is prone to occasional issues, but Konica Minolta provides helpful troubleshooting tips.

Misfeeds
1) Make sure that all paper you are loading into the Magicolor printer matches the printer's specifications for acceptable media. Folded or bent paper can cause misfeeds and paper jams. If the paper is too moist (or has been stored in a humid area), it may stick together from the paper tray and cause the printer to jam.

2) Check under the printer. If the printer is off-balanced, the paper may not feed correctly. It is best to keep the printer on a flat surface.

3) Avoid overfilling the paper tray (which has a maximum capacity of 200 sheets). Also try not to load different sizes and types of paper at the same time. Printing on transparencies can cause misfeeds, especially if you ran the transparencies first, because this causes static to accumulate.

Clearing a Paper Jam
1) Remove any paper in the output tray. Pull the lever on the front edge of the printer's top, and then slide open the top cover. Pull on the laser drum cartridge gently to lift it out of the printer. Place the cartridge on a flat, dry surface and try to avoid putting it down in direct sunlight.

2) Push the two gray levers on either side of the printer as far back as possible. You should now be able to see any paper that is misfed. Pull gently on the paper to remove it. If no paper is stuck here, flip the latches back down, reinstall the cartridge and proceed to Step Three.

3) Pull out the paper tray as far as it will go, and then lift up and pull more to remove it completely. Reach into the back of the paper drawer and feel for loose paper. Pull gently on the paper to remove it from the system. Lift up on the front lid of the paper tray to remove it. Take all of the paper out of the tray, fan it, tap it on a flat surface to align it all, and then reinsert it. Reattach the lid and insert the paper tray back into the printer.

4) Pull the printer out from the wall to access the duplex cover. When printing double-sided copies, the paper is pulled back into this area and can sometimes jam. Pull on the duplex cover to open it. If paper is jammed here, you can see it clearly and remove it by pulling gently upward.
