Advanced Document Processing

The magicolor 2400W’s printer driver provides several advanced

document processing functions:

Printer-based electronic collation

N-up printing

Form overlays

Watermarks

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.

Media Path

The relatively simple media path of the magicolor 2400W allows it to

print pages quickly and enables support for labels and thick stock.

Lift the printer’s top cover to

remove a media jam.

The magicolor 2400W handles

all media types through the

standard media path.

Consumables

magicolor 2400W consumables are easy to

replace and cost-effective.

Toner Cartridges

The magicolor 2400W’s four (CMYK) toner cartridges are color-coded

for error-free installation and feature an intelligent chip that stores

information on toner levels for accurate supplies monitoring. (See

“Supplies Monitoring” for further information.)

KONICA MINOLTA’s proprietary polymerized toner produces exceptional

output. Its particles are smaller and more uniform in size and shape

than conventional toner, providing finer lines, better halftones, and

improved image quality. It also has a higher transfer efficiency than

regular toner, further contributing to output quality while producing less

waste toner. A lubricant encapsulated within the toner particles

eliminates the need for fuser oil, meaning that you have one less

consumable to buy.

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.

Consumable Yields

Consumable yields are expressed as an average number of letter/A4

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 2400W’s standard in-box toner cartridges hold enough

toner for an average of 1,500 prints at standard 5% coverage, letter/A4-

size paper, continuous printing).

Also included in the shipment is a full-capacity drum cartridge.

Printer control panel LEDs

Status Display—Supplies Status display

Status Display—Configuration page

Printer Control Panel

The 6 LEDs on the printer’s control panel alert you when the life of a

toner cartridge or the drum cartridge is nearing the end or has ended.

Status Display

The Status Display is a desktop utility that displays information about

the current status of the printer and its consumables and allows you to

configure various settings.

Access the Supplies Status display by choosing Supplies Status from

the utility’s Display menu. This full-color, gas gauge-style display

displays the capacity of each toner cartridge and the drum cartridge as

well as the percentage of life remaining.
