Konica devices: the redirect procedure

Konica printers are outside Help Desk scope. Ask the specific issue, try the first steps, and anything they do not clear goes to the number on the printer.

Printing

Updated 29 Sept 2026·Rian Fernando·Revision 4

Recognising a Konica device

  • Large floor-standing multifunction unit — copy, scan, fax, print in one device.
  • Konica or Konica Minolta branding on the front panel.
  • No Adelphi tag number.

Handling the contact

  1. 1

    Confirm the device is a Konica multifunction unit

    Ask for the branding on the front. Do not guess from the description alone.

  2. 2

    Ask for the specific issue

    What exactly is it doing, and what does its screen say?

  3. 3

    “Unable to connect to MFP PaperCut server” means server maintenance

    The PaperCut server is under maintenance. The printer itself is not the problem.

  4. 4

    Beeping — restart it

    If a restart does not stop it, turn it off, unplug it completely, then plug it back in and turn it on.

  5. 5

    Nothing worked — they call the number on the printer

    Clear and confident. This is a routing answer, not a refusal, and it should not sound like one.

  6. 6

    Document the call

    Like any other call.

  7. 7

    Offer a supported alternative if they are stuck

    If they simply need something printed today, a nearby supported printer may solve the actual problem.

How a Konica call is logged in Footprints

Still needed:

  • The category, subcategory, and assignee — or confirmation that Konica calls are not ticketed
  • What to tell the caller during PaperCut server maintenance

This step is deliberately blank rather than filled with a guess. Ask a supervisor or Rian Fernando before acting on it.
