Introduction

The magicolor®2430 DL is a network-ready color laser printer for small

businesses, workgroups, and home offices. Its small price, small size,

and speeds up to 20 monochrome pages or 5 full-color pages per

minute make it a perfect replacement for your old inkjet printer. It’s also

the first color laser printer to come equipped with camera-direct photo

printing. You can print clear, crisp, durable pictures at up to 2400 x 600

dpi resolution directly from any PictBridge-enabled digital camera—with

no computer required!

KONICA MINOLTA designed the magicolor 2430 DL to be ready for

printing right out of the box. The CD-ROM that ships with the printer

includes all drivers, utilities, and documentation necessary for installing

and operating the printer in any home or small business. It’s extremely

easy to use, and it functions seamlessly with computers running

Windows®Server 2003, XP, 2000, Me, 98SE, and NT 4.0 as well as

Macintosh®OS 10.2+ and Linux®Red Hat 8.0+ and SuSE 8.1+.

Maintaining the magicolor 2430 DL is also simple and straightforward.

The toner cartridge and drum cartridge are separately replaceable for

more economical use, and the printer comes with a one-year exchange

warranty.

Controller

The magicolor 2430 DL uses the power of the

host computer’s operating system to deliver great

performance for less cost.

Type

The magicolor 2430 DL uses an easy-to-access controller with 32 MB

SDRAM on board.

Processor

The magicolor 2430 DL uses the power of the host computer’s

operating system for processing documents prior to printing. The

printer’s controller features a ARM9 130 MHz ASIC for imaging the

document.

Connectivity

Three interfaces are integrated into the magicolor 2430 DL’s controller:

The USB 2.0 (High-Speed) compliant interface provides a 4-pin

Series B connector and runs at 480 Mbps. This “Plug and Play”

interface supports Windows Server 2003, XP, 2000, Me, and

98SE; Macintosh OS X 10.2+; and Linux Red Hat 8.0+ and SuSE

8.1+ operating systems.

The Ethernet 10/100BaseTX autosensing interface operates on

both the traditional 10 Mbps LAN and 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet

networks, and it supports TCP/IP, IPP, DHCP, BOOTP, HTTP,

SNMP, SLP, LPR, Rendezvous, and Raw Port protocols.

The USB 1.1 Host Port, conveniently located on the front of the

printer, features PictBridge 1.0 compatibility for quick photo prints.

Printer Memory

The magicolor 2430 DL’s 32 MB RAM is sufficient for printing all

supported page sizes (simplex and duplex) at all supported resolutions.

One DIMM slot is available for upgrading printer memory up to 544 MB.

Additional memory can improve the printer’s performance, especially in

a network environment. Increasing the host computer’s memory may

also improve transmission speed and overall performance of the printer.

For full functionality and best quality camera-direct photo printing

(PictBridge), an additional 256 MB RAM is required. Standard printer

memory does not support high-resolution or index prints from

PictBridge.

The magicolor 2430 DL’s USB 2.0

(High-Speed) and 10/100BaseTX Ethernet

(IEEE 802.3) interfaces allow it to serve one

or many users.
