============================================================
II.  APPLICATION NOTES

     1. CorelDRAW--When printing a file to letter-size
        media, select Fit to Paper in the Output Paper
        Size section on the Paper tab. If you do not 
        select Fit to Paper, the image will be cut off
        on one side. 

     2. DOS--The DOS copy and print commands are not
        supported.

     3. Word--When you open an existing Word document, Word
        passes its default media size on to the printer
        driver rather than using the media size specified 
        for the document. 

        Therefore, if you want to scale a document defined
        for one media size to print on another media size,
        use the following procedure:

          i. In Word go to File/Page Setup and check the
             media size.
         ii. In Word go to File/Print and choose the
             printer's Properties button.
        iii. On the printer driver's Paper tab, identify the
             Original Document Size (the size media 
             installed in the tray), and then select Fit to
             Paper.

============================================================
III. CONFIGURATION

     1. Defaults--After restoring printer configuration
        settings to their factory defaults, you must
        restart the printer.

============================================================
IV.  CONNECTIVITY

     1. Parallel--For best printing performance through 
        the parallel port, use the ECP port setting.

     2. Network--IPP protocol runs over HTTP. Therefore, if 
        you disable HTTP (Network/HTTP menu), IPP is 
        automatically disabled, too.

     3. Network--If you make any changes in the Network/HTTP
        or Network/SNMP menus, you must restart the printer 
        for the changes to take effect.

     4. Network--Under Windows XP/2000 only Generic and 
        Minolta Network Printer are supported as the 
        Standard TCP/IP port.

     5. Network--When using the LPR port under Windows NT,
        name the print queue LP.

============================================================
V.   ERROR MESSAGES

     1. Fatal Error Code: 16H--If this error message
        displays, first check for proper installation of the
        transfer belt. Once you have confirmed that it is
        installed correctly, if the error message continues
        to display, call for service.

     2. Media Jam--Be sure to empty the printer's output
        tray regularly, especially if you print lengthy jobs.
        If the output tray fills up (approximately 500 
        sheets of media), the message window displays a
        media jam message, and printing stops.

============================================================
VI.  PAGESCOPE LIGHT

     1. Deleted Jobs--When print jobs are deleted from the
        Job/Active Job list, they do not disappear from the
        list. However, they are still deleted.

     2. Job Owner--The Job Owner field is always blank
        unless a name is specified in the User Name text 
        box on the Device Options Setting tab in the printer
        driver.

     3. Password--The minimum length of the PageScope Light 
        Administrator password is 1 character, and the 
        maximum length is 4 characters.

     4. URLs--When typing URLs in the System/Online 
        Assistance window, you must use only lowercase
        letters. In addition, PageScope Light does not
        support https:// URLs, only http:// URLs.

============================================================
VII. PRINT MONITOR
     
     1. Crown Print Monitor--If you install the Crown Print
        Monitor (version 2.0.14 and below) to use with
        another MINOLTA-QMS printer, you must restart your 
        PC before printing. Otherwise, a shade of yellow or
        green will print over the text on the test page.

     2. Windows XP--When setting up the printer on a
        network, use the Standard TCP/IP port and then 
        select either Generic or Minolta-QMS Printer as the
        device type. Then use the Microsoft Print Monitor in
        this environment.

     3. Windows 2000--When setting up the printer on a
        network, use the Standard TCP/IP port and then
        select either Generic or Minolta Printer as the
        device type. Then use the Microsoft Print Monitor in
        this environment.
 
     4. Windows 98/95--When setting up the printer on a 
        network, use the magicolor TCP/IP port. Then use the
        accompanying Print Monitor.

     5. Windows NT--When setting up the printer on a 
        network, use the LPR port. Then type the printer's
        IP address in the first text box and LP in the 
        second text box. Use the accompanying Print Monitor.

============================================================
VIII.PRINTER DRIVER
     
     1. Collation--In order to collate multiple copies of a
        duplex print job with Booklet Left Binding or 
        Booklet Right Binding selected as the Duplex/Booklet
        option on the Setup tab, select collation in the
        printer driver only. Do not select collation in the
        application. This will cause the pages to print out
        of order.

     2. Color matching--The Color Matching and Line Art
        options (Quality tab) are not compatible. If Color
        Matching is enabled, you cannot print at 2400 x 600
        Line Art resolution. Conversely, if Line Art is
        enabled, Color Matching is automatically disabled.

     3. Color profiles--During installation, ICC profiles
        are automatically installed in both the Color and
        Windows/system32/spool/drivers/32x86/3/
        directories.

     4. Defaults--Whenever you install an option in the
        printer driver (Device Options Setting tab), all
        printer driver configuration settings are
        automatically reset to their default settings.

     5. General--The color/monochrome and monochrome-only
        printer drivers for this printer cannot be 
        installed at the same time on your PC. In other 
        words, if one printer driver is already installed 
        on your PC, you must uninstall it before installing 
        the other printer driver.

     6. Installation (USB)--Due to a Windows limitation, you
        are required to specify the location of the printer
        driver twice.

     7. Installation (Windows XP)--Due to a Windows  
        limitation, when a second magicolor 2300 DL printer  
        driver is installed, the printer name in the Printers 
        folder is identified as (Copy 1) rather than 
        (Copy 2).

     8. Installation (Windows 2000)--If the printer driver
        is installed by Plug and Play under Windows 2000, 
        the installer may try to install files for Windows
        XP. This does not cause a problem since the files
        for Windows 2000 and Windows XP are identical.

     9. Installation (Windows 95)--When you first install
        the driver on a Windows 95 system, you may receive a
        error message "ws32_2.dll not found." This means
        that you need to install the Windows Socket 2 Update.
        This is mainly for the magicolor port, which uses
        winsock2's dll and library. To download this
        application, go to www.microsoft.com/windows95/
        downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/
        w95sockets2/.

    10. Overlays--When editing an existing form overlay or
        creating a new form overlay (Edit Form Overlay button
        on the Paper tab), if you specify the name of an
        existing form overlay, the new overlay settings
        overwrite the old settings without asking for
        confirmation.

    11. Overlays--Overlay files are created as color
        documents. Therefore, even if you select monochrome
        printing (B/W on the Quality tab), the overlay
        prints in color. If you want a monochrome overlay
        file, you must create it yourself and save it as an
        overlay file (Edit Form Overlay button on the
        Paper tab).

    12. Overlays--Overlay files must be printed at the same
        resolution at which they were created. In other 
        words, if you create an overlay file at 600 dpi, any
        documents with which you use this overlay should 
        also be printed at 600 dpi. If you print the overlay
        at a different resolution, it is automatically
        resized and, therefore, placed incorrectly on the
        printed pages.

    13. Overlays--Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with
        a KONICA MINOLTA DeskLaser driver (magicolor 2300 DL,
        magicolor 2200 DeskLaser, etc.). If you try to
        use an overlay file created with another driver,
        the file will not print.

    14. Overlays--Printing a file with an overlay uses twice
        the virtual memory of regular printing. Therefore, it
        is recommended that you increase your PC's virtual
        memory.

    15. Print Speed (Windows XP)--Under Windows XP,
        monochrome printing may be reduced to 4 ppm just 
        after driver installation. Restart the PC to fix 
        this issue.

    16. Sharing--If you uninstall a printer driver for a
        shared printer under Windows Me/98 and then
        reinstall the printer driver, the new printer driver
        is automatically shared. If you do not want to share
        this printer driver, you must go in and manually
        unshare it.

    17. Uninstallation--If you uninstall the printer driver,
        you must restart the PC to complete the 
        uninstallation. Otherwise, some files are locked by 
        the Windows operating system and therefore cannot be
        deleted.

============================================================
IX.  STATUS DISPLAY
     
     1. Connectivity--The Status Display supports only local
        ports (Parallel and USB), not Ethernet ports. For
        Ethernet ports, use PageScope Light to monitor printer
        status.

     2. Error message--The Status Display always looks for
        the default printer. Therefore, if the printer is
        not set up as the default printer, you receive a
        "Printer not attached" error message even if the 
        printer is connected and turned on.
