============================================================
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. MS Word--Word does not allow users to print a
saved document in a different paper size because
it passes its default paper size to the printer
Driver. Take the following steps to print a
document in a specified paper size:
i. In Word go to File/Page Setup and make
sure that the specified paper size is
selected under Paper Size.
ii. In Word go to File/Print and click the
Properties button of the magicolor 5440 DL.
iii. Select the Paper tab. Check "Fit to Paper"
and select the specified paper size from the
Output Paper Size drop-down list.
4. MS Internet Explorer 5.0--A SPOOL32 crash may be
experienced when printing web pages containing java
related data. Printing cannot be continued although
the document can be saved. You must restart the
printer to resume the printing job. Recommend to
upgrade IE 5.0 to IE 5.5 or higher to avoid this
problem.
5. Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0--Dashed lines may not be
imaged when printing pdf files. Recommend to upgrade
to Acrobat Reader 5.0 to resolve this problem.
6. Adobe PageMaker 6.5--The output when using the
Separation (C,M,Y,K) function may not image correct.
The K plane may be printed with color.
To use "B/W" setting instead of "Color" in the Quality
tab can correct this issue.
7. Lotus Approach 9.6.1--When Print Properties is opened,
the layout of the driver preferences collapses.
============================================================
III. CONNECTIVITY
1. Network--IPP protocol runs over HTTP. Therefore, if
you disable HTTP (Network/HTTP menu), IPP is
automatically disabled, too.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Windows 98SE/Me--When setting up the printer on a
network, use the magicolor TCP/IP port. Then use the
accompanying Print Monitor.
6. 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.
7. Large Print Job--When printing over 50 pages, it is
recommended to use the standard TCP/IP port instead
of IPP.
============================================================
IV. ERROR MESSAGES
1. 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 250
sheets of media), the message window displays a
media jam message, and printing stops.
2. Duplex Jam--A duplex media jam may result when
printing with a paper size mismatch. This is in
combination with AUTOCONTINUE=ON. Replace the tray
with the correct paper size specified in the driver.
In certain jam conditions, the message "MEDIA JAN/
UNDEFINED" may be displayed.
3. Invalid Printer Name--An error message may be
displayed when installing the printer driver. Please
remove any pre/proceeding spaces from the printer
name text string to resolve this problem.
4. Installing Toner Cartridge--If the gREPLACE TONER/
(color)h message appears on the operation control
panel after installing a new replacement cartridge,
it is possible that a paper jam exists in the
Printer. Please remove the jammed paper. Once the
jam is cleared, the message should disappear and
printing will continue.
============================================================
V. PAGESCOPE WEB CONNECTION
1. Job Page--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 Printing
Preferences.
2. URL--When entering a URL in the System/Online
Assistance field, type in 'http:// URL'. PageScope
Web Connection does not support 'https'.
3. WINS/NetBIOS--After changing the WINS/NetBIOS
setting, the printer must be powered off/on.
4. Job Page--Currently "Number of Pages" column
incorrectly shows a figure of a total number of
pages of a print job, and "Number of Copies"
always shows 1 regardless of the actual number
of the copies. For example, for a job with 3
copies of 2-page document, "Number of Pages"
and "Number of Copies" show 6 and 1 respectively.
5. Job Page--For a duplex job which has an odd number of
pages, the last blank page is counted and added to the
total number of pages. Coupled with the above note on
the Job Page, for example, a job with 2 copies of 7-page
duplex document would show 16 in the "Number of Pages"
column.
6. Administrator Log-in--If you login with a correct
Administrator password and still received an error
message "Please log in again with a correct password",
please check the Security and Privacy setting of your
browser. In Internet Explorer, please ensure that you
have Medium security (or lower) and Medium High privacy
(or lower) settings. In Netscape, please ensure that
cookies are allowed.
============================================================
VI. 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. Similar effects will occur when printing
with Watermark or with Form Overlays in WORD. Failing
to set collation in the printer driver will cause the
Watermark to print only on the first page of the first
copy.
2. Defaults--When adding or removing an option in the
"Device Options Setting" tab, all the print driver
configuration settings except for the "Copies" and
"Scaling" settings are automatically reset to their
default settings.
3. Installation (Windows XP)--Due to a Windows limitation,
when a second magicolor 5440 DL printer driver is
installed, the printer name in the Printers folder is
identified as (Copy 1) rather than (Copy 2).
4. Installation (Windows 98SE)--When upgrading to a newer
version of the driver, you need to first uninstall
the older version before installing the new version.
5. Installation (Windows 98SE)--During the Driver
installation from the Installer CD, the "Invalid Printer
Name" dialog box appears after entering the existing
printer name in the "Friendly Name" text field. The
suffix "Copy 1" will be automatically appended to the
new printer name to avoid duplicate names. You can change
it to another unique name in the text field or can change
it from the Printer folder after instillation.
6. Installation (Windows XP SP2)--When installing the driver
using the Konica Minolta Printer Software Installer,
you may encounter a "Windows Security Alert" message
appearing on your screen. Please select to "Unblock"
the Installer program from the WinXP SP2 firewall.
7. INSTALLATION--When installing the Driver using the KONICA
MINOLTA Printer Software Installer, it is possible that
a message will be displayed indicating that some Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) files may get overwritten. Please
select "YES" to allow the files to be overwritten.
(When selecting "NO", InstallShield Wizard will appear.
Click "OK" to stop and cancel the installation
automatically.)
8. Features (Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003)--It is possible
that you may have some driver features unavailable such
as Edit Custom Paper Size, Edit Form Overlay, Edit
Watermark and Easy Set Save. These features are
available when the user is logged in as administrator.
9. IPP Port (Windows 2000)--Due to problems associated with
the Windows spooler, for printers printing through the
IPP port, selecting "Keep printed documents" in the
Properties page of the printer will not keep the
printed jobs in the queue. Additionally, displaying the
Help menu items in the Printer Queue window will cause
an error message to display.
10. 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 selecting B/W printing and save it as an overlay file
(Edit Form Overlay button on the Paper tab).
11. 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.
12. Overlays--Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with
a magicolor 5440 DL driver. If you try to use an overlay
file created with another driver, the file may not print.
13. 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.
14. Sharing--If you uninstall a printer driver for a
shared printer under Windows 98SE/Me 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.
15. Uninstallation (Windows 98SE)--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.
16. Uninstallation (Windows 98SE)--If you uninstall
"KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 5440 DL Printer Driver Software"
from Add/Remove Program Properties, you must temporarily
disable any anti virus scan or anti virus real time
protection programs.
17. Uninstallation (Windows Me)--When using Windows Me,
restart the computer after uninstalling the printer driver.
18. Page Orientation--When a Word document with mixed page
orientation is printed by Booklet, the second page rotates
by 180 degrees. For example, a 3-page document with
Landscape, Portrait and Landscape orientation set for the
first, second and third page respectively would have the
second page rotated.
19. Conflict Dialog Box--It is possible that a conflict dialog
box may not be displayed when a user selects a paper size,
paper source and media type combination that is not
supported by the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 5440 DL.
20. Upgrading Driver--Remove the original driver before
upgrading. From Start->Programs->KONICA MINOLTA program
group, select "Uninstall", or from Start->Settings->Control
Panel/Add or Remove Programs, remove only "KONICA MINOLTA
magicolor 5400DL". "KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 5440DL Printer
Driver Software" listed in the "Add or Remove Programs"
will be needed when removing the upgraded driver. If it
has been removed by mistake, Please re-install the driver
from the Installer CD.
============================================================
VII. STATUS DISPLAY
1. Printer Status--The Printer Status may display an
error message such as "Power Off/Communications" or
"Port Busy" while the print job is spooling. The
correct printer status should be updated once the
job has cleared the spooler.
2. Supplies Status Popup--Once the remaining toner amount
has reached the percentage set in the "Notify when
Supplies Reach" spin box, the "Supplies Status" window
will pop up. This window will keep popping up every 5
minutes until the empty toner cartridge is replaced.
Setting the percentage to 0 (zero) can prevent the
Supplies Status window from popping up.
============================================================
VIII.STATUS Monitor
1. Status Monitor Center--The network printers may not
display in the main screen when it is opened. If this
happens, please refresh the screen by selecting "Update
Printers" from the "Action" menu.
============================================================
IX. Operation Control Panel
1. PROCESSING--Changing the print settings while
'PROCESSING' displays on the panel will affect the
printing process. Wait till 'PROCESSING' is changed
to 'READY' before changing the print settings.
