1.1 Printer controller

The printer controller is a device for performing printing functions and net-

work printing functions with this machine.

Role of the printer controller

The printer controller is built into the machine.

You can print from applications on the computer connected to the printing

system. When using this machine as a network printer, you can print from

applications on the computer.

Available printer controller functions

The printer controller provides the following functions.

-Printing of data that is sent from a printer driver installed on a computer

-Support of network protocols including TCP/IP (IPv4/IPv6), IPX/SPX, and

AppleTalk

-Direct printing over a network using SMB (Windows), LPR, and IPP print-

ing

-Access to settings for this machine and the printer controller from a client

computer over the network (using a Web browser)

-Control of the number of pages printed (“User Authentication” and “Ac-

count Track” functions)

-Fax operations using a computer (PC-fax transmission)

Machine modes

The printer driver settings are mainly set using a computer, however, the font

list can be printed, and the printer controller settings and default print set-

tings can be set using the control panel of this machine. In addition, fax and

scanning operations can be used by switching the mode.

To switch between modes, press the mode keys on the control panel.

[Copy]

This machine can be used as a copier.

[Fax/Scan]

This machine can be used as a fax or as a scanner.

[User Box]

This machine can be used to store jobs and as a document folder for for-

warding data to a computer over the network.

Note

You can use this machine as a printer in all modes.

Change the default print settings in the Utility mode.

C550 1-4

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, Ap-

pleTalk) when this machine is used as a network printer. The data is then de-

livered 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.

Original documents can be scanned in the copy function or network scan

function while this machine is operating as a printer.

To use this machine as a copier, press the [Copy] key on the control panel.

When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory

of this machine. When copying is complete, the print job is automatically

printed.

Reminder

Be sure to restart the computer.

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 de-

scribed 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 driv-

er are all installed, the model information of all drivers is deleted. If anoth-

er 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 de-

leting 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.

Use this machine’s control panel to assign an IP address to this machine.

Reminder

When specifying network settings, follow the instructions of the network

administrator.

1Press the [Utility/Counter] key in this machine’s control panel, touch

[Administrator Settings], and then enter the administrator password.

– The administrator password is required to enter Administrator

mode. Ask the administrator of this machine for the administrator

password.

2Touch [Network Settings], then [TCP/IP Settings].

3Touch [ON].

4Touch [IP Settings].

Setting up network printing 3

C550 3-5

5Touch [Manual Input] under “IP Application Method”.

6Specify settings for the following:

– IP Address: Specify the IP address of this machine.

– Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for the network to which

you are connecting.

– Default Gateway: Specify the default gateway address for the net-

work to which you are connecting.

7Touch [OK].

8To apply the settings, restart this machine (turn the main power off,

then on again).

Turn this machine back on to apply the IP address.

Reminder

When turning the power off, then on again, wait at least 10 seconds be-

fore turning the power on again; otherwise, this machine may not function

properly.

Setting up network printing 3

C550 3-6

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 au-

tomatically assign the IP address from the DHCP server. When “IP Appli-

cation 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 man-

ually. 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 us-

ing 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 net-

work 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.
