Overview

Printing flow
When using this printing system as a printer, the flow of the main process is
described below.
Print commands transmitted from the application are received by the printer
driver.
Data is transmitted to this machine over a USB interface when this machine
is used as a USB printer, or over an Ethernet interface (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk) when this machine is used as a network printer. The data is then delivered from this machine to the printer controller, which performs image
rasterization (development of output characters and images to bitmap data).
Finally, this data is printed from this machine.

Note

Even if the printer driver is deleted using the method described above,
the model information file will remain in the computer for Windows 2000/
XP/Server 2003. Therefore, the driver may not be able to be overwritten
when reinstalling the same version of the printer driver. When installing
the same version of the printer driver, be sure to also delete the files described below.
Check the “C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86” folder and
delete the folder of the corresponding model if it is available. If the Konica
Minolta PCL driver, the Konica Minolta PostScript driver, and the fax driver are all installed, the model information of all drivers is deleted. If another driver is remaining, do not delete it.
Delete the “oem*.inf” and “oem*.PNF” files in the “C:\WINDOWS\inf”
folder. (The asterisk (*) in the file name displays a number, and the
number varies according to the environment of the computer.) Before deleting the files, open the INF file, check that the model name is described
in the last several lines, and then check that the file of the corresponding
model is available. The PNF file is the same number as the INF file.
In Windows Vista, if operated under “Remove driver and driver package”,
this procedure is not necessary.

Detail

Although the method for entering a static IP address without using the
DHCP server is described in the procedure here, it is also possible to automatically assign the IP address from the DHCP server. When “IP Application Method” is specified as “Auto Input” and “DHCP Settings” is set
to “ON” in the setting screen that is displayed, the IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address settings are automatically assigned from the
DHCP server on the network, so it is not necessary to assign them manually. However, note the following when setting “DHCP Settings” to
“ON”.
Check with the network administrator that the DHCP server exists. If the
DHCP server does not exist, be sure to specify settings for “IP Address”,
“Subnet Mask”, and “Default Gateway”.
If the settings for the IP address and other items have been assigned using the DHCP server, there is a possibility that they may be automatically
changed. When the settings for the IP address and other items are
changed, if the IP address has been used to specify a printer on the network for printing, there is a possibility that printing may not be possible
because this machine cannot communicate with the network. If “DHCP
Settings” has been set to “ON”, it is recommended that the IP address
assigned to this machine be fixed in the DHCP server settings.
