The magicolor 2500 Series printer drivers provides several advanced document processing functions which are described below: Printer-based electronic collation Instead of transmitting a multiple-page print job several times over the network to print the number of copies required, simply tell the printer driver how many copies you want. The job is transmitted once, but the printer outputs the required number of copies. Called printer-based electronic collation, this feature enables the printer to deliver the required number of copies, with the pages in the proper order, without bogging down the transmission line. N-up printing The printer driver�s n-up option allows you to print a 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages of a multi-page document on a single sheet of media. Add a border line and select the flow of the pages across the sheet using easy-to-understand settings. Form overlays A form overlay is an image that is printed either on the first page or on all pages of a document. Watermarks A watermark is a word or phrase that is repeated on each printed page. You can add common text watermarks such as � CONFIDENTIAL� and � DRAFT� to a document� or create a custom watermark. The printer driver also includes selections for indicating the watermark� s font, style, size, color, placement, and angle. N-up printing Watermarks

intelligent, easy to monitor, and easy to replace. Consumable supplies are easily accessible. The inside front cover guides you through the replacement process. User-Replaceable Supplies � Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) toner cartridges � Drum Cartridge The magicolor 2500 Series printers� four (CMYK) toner cartridges are each color-coded for error-free installation and replacement, and feature an intelligent chip that stores information on toner levels for accurate supplies monitoring. (See � Supplies Monitoring� later in this guide for further information). When a toner does require replacement, it will rotate to present itself for changing. Toners are easily accessible via the front cover, which features step-by-step instructions for removing empty and adding new cartridges. Drum Cartridge The drum cartridge includes both the OPC drum and waste toner box. The waste toner box captures excess toner from the printing process and prevents engine damage from loose toner particles. An agitation screw inside the waste toner box ensures efficient waste toner storage. Simitri Polymerized Toner KONICA MINOLTA Simitri (pronounced � symmetry� ) Polymerized Toner produces exceptional output. Its particles are smaller and more uniform in size and shape than conventional, pulverized toner, providing finer lines, better halftones, and improved image quality, regardless of media type used. Simitri Polymerized Toner also has a higher transfer efficiency than regular toner, further contributing to output quality while producing less waste toner in the form of toner dust, which remains on the surfaces of drum cartridges, transfer belts, and rollers after a page has printed. A lubricant encapsulated within the toner particles eliminates the need for fuser oil, meaning that you have one less consumable to buy. Polymerized Toner is also more environmentally friendly, emitting less carbon acid gas (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx) in production process. Simitri Polymerized Toner adheres better to the media surface�as a result, prints are more durable, with images and text that don�t smear or fade.

pages at 5% coverage. However, actual consumable life depends on such variables as page coverage, page size, media type, continuous or intermittent printing, number of color planes, ambient temperature, and humidity. Optimal consumable life is achieved with continuous printing (three or more pages per job). Intermittent printing (one page per job) reduces consumable life. In-box Consumables The magicolor 2500 Series printers� s standard in-box toner CMYK cartridges contain enough toner for an average of 1,500 prints at standard 5% coverage, letter/A4-size paper, continuous printing.

The magicolor 2500 Series printers have been designed with the color novice in mind. These printers features an internal color matching system that automatically selects the proper color model based on the specific elements on any given page. They also include enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC), which produces consistent color on each and every printed page. Automatic ICC-Based Color Matching The magicolor 2500 Series printers� drivers include an ICC-based color matching system that provides single-button controls for automatic correction of color files. Using built-in ICC profiles and an sRGB color space, this printer-resident system makes it as easy to get great color from a PowerPoint presentation as it is from a desktop publishing application such as QuarkXPress. Both inexperienced and professional color users will find its color matching methods easy to navigate. When the color matching system is activated, users can choose from three different color rendering methods for three different types of page elements (graphics, images, and text): � Colorimetric� This is the best choice when you� re printing solid colors, automatically making adjustments for consistent, predictable output. � Perceptual� This is the ideal selection when you� re printing photographic images. It� s tuned to enhance images for high- quality proofs. � Saturation� When bright colors are needed for text and graphics, this is the best selection. If you prefer, you can use the driver�s custom selections to manually fine-tune your color output. The convenient slider bars make it easy to adjust image contrast, brightness, saturation, and sharpness. Fine-tune color output with the printer driver�s slider-bar color adjustments. Color Control Get great color without great effort. Driver-based color matching selections are easy to access and use.

From day to day, and from one consumable change to the next, toner density may change, ultimately affecting color consistency. To maintain color consistency and ensure predictable color without user intervention, the magicolor 2500 Series printers automatically perform enhanced Automatic Image Density Control at the following times: � When the printer is turned on after a temperature or humidity change has occurred � When the printer exits from Energy Saver mode after a temperature or humidity change has occurred � When the printer is turned on or exits from Energy Saver mode after a predetermined number of pages have been printed (200 pages since the last quick AIDC or 1000 pages since the last full AIDC) � After a consumables change � Whenever requested by the user through the Engine/Service/ Color Calibration menu (magicolor 2530 DL only). eAIDC means consistent color on every print.

Duplex Option You can perform manual duplexing on the magicolor 2500 Series printers by printing on one side of a page, turning it over, and then printing on the other side. For more convenient two-sided printing, an automatic duplex option is available for the magicolor 2530 DL. It installs on the side of the printer and adds very little width to the footprint of the printer. To support full- color duplex printing on all page sizes, an additional 128 MB of memory is required for 600 x 600 dpi resolution and 1200 x 600 dpi resolution; an additional 256 MB of memory is required for 2400 x 600 dpi resolution. 500-sheet Cassette An optional 500-sheet cassette can be added to the magicolor 2530 DL, increasing input to its maximum capacity of 700 sheets. The cassette accepts up to letter-size paper and attaches conveniently underneath the printer. Adding this option not only reduces the frequency of paper refills, but allows you to load more than one type of media in the printer� perfect for printing a mixture of regular documents, letterhead, forms, and preprinted stock. Memory The magicolor 2530 DL has one slot available for memory. Memory can be upgraded to 576 MB using 64 MB, 128 MB, 256, and 512 MB SDRAM. Additional memory can improve the printer�s performance, especially in a network environment, and enables printing at the highest resolution when using the automatic duplex option. Extended Warranties To further ensure trouble-free operation and to maximize the capabilities of your printer, KONICA MINOLTA offers multiple extended warranty options for the magicolor 2500 Series printers, including 1- and 2-year extended exchange warranties, and 1- and 2-year on-site service upgrades.
