Here are a couple of links from the Konica website which provide somes illustrated instructions:

Media Jam Tray 1; Paper Pickup Roller replacement instructions.


Clearing Media Jams

Replacing the pickup rollers seems like a drastic first step. I would check to make sure that the paper being used is suitable for this printer and it is in good consition. You might try a different paper to see if it makes a difference.

Good luck in resolving your issue.

the door or cover is not properly closed or it may still have piece of paper inside it.

go to www.konicaminolta.com usa and download the print driver.

Hi, pretty sure its the transfer belt not able to turn, remove it and make sure there is nothing blocking it, maybe a paper jam

Open the top cover of the printer and remove the drum (piece with long green handle). Look down inside the printer and you will see a roller with ridges. Clean that roller with formula 409. Try not to use alcohol because it dries the roller.

If you are printing on paper thicker than 23lb. bond, you want to make sure you select "thick stock" for the media type on your computer.

For instance... in your application click on file and then print. In the print window select properties (usually). On the setup tab of the next window you will see media type on the right side. Set it to the type of paper you are printing on. This should make the printer pick up the paper slower.

If the paper is thicker than 90lb index (160 g/m2) it is too thick to go through the machine.

right now, i dont know about the cliking noise, there can be many things causing this. but for hevy paper open cover, take out PC drum, under that there is a take-up roller, pull the little knob in right side and then move it to the right side, then you can pull out the take-up roller, then clean the roller and the plate, whats under the roller. installit back. if thats not helping, then you have to take the roller out again, and cut off two plastic sides.
it shoult help.

but its quite pointless, you sould glue this cover to the printer, much cheaper.
