There are several reasons why your Konica Minolta C250i printer may be printing magenta as yellow. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check the magenta toner cartridge: Make sure that the magenta toner cartridge is properly installed and has enough toner. If the toner cartridge is low or empty, replace it with a new one.
Clean the printer heads: Use the printer's cleaning function to clean the printer heads. This can help remove any clogs or buildup that may be preventing the magenta ink from flowing properly.
Check the printer settings: Check the printer settings to make sure that the correct paper type and color settings are selected. If the printer is set to print in grayscale or black and white mode, it may not use the magenta ink.
Perform a firmware update: Make sure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Sometimes firmware updates can fix issues with printing quality.
Contact Konica Minolta support: If none of the above steps solve the issue, you may need to contact Konica Minolta support for further assistance. They may be able to diagnose the issue remotely or send a technician to your location.
Does the demo page do the same? Mite have image control board failure. And electrical storms on a good surge protector not a Ace hardware 19.99 special, of course nothing against Ace Hardware :). Could also be a High Voltage board failure. Meter count page OK print out.
