<<Network installation>>

2. How to print in the Minolta Printers via Network Interface Card 
   in Windows2000.

When you use TCP/IP protocol in Windows2000, make the printer port setting 
as follows:
First, make sure that IP address has been assigned on the NIC for Printer 
being connected to the network. Then, turn the Printer power on.

Procedure:
  1) Install Printer Driver as Local Printer (ex. Port setting : LPT1).
  2) Select Printer properties from printer icon.
  3) Select  ports tab and click "Add Port".
  4) Select "Standard TCP/IP Port", so "Add Standard TCP/IP Port Wizard" 
     will start.  Then click "Next".  
  5) Input "IP Address of the network interface card", and then port name 
     will be input automatically. (If setting PageWorks/Pro 12/20, 
     steps will be skipped from step6 to step10 automatically.   
     Without steps 6 to 10,these products work correctly.)
  6) Select "Custom" and "Settings" in device type.
  7) Select "LPR" in "Protocol" and input "Queue Name" according to the 
     Printer Model in the following "LPR Setting list".
  8) Check "LPR Byte Counting Enabled".
  9) Click "OK".
 10) Click "Next" and "Finish" according to Wizard.
 11) Click "Close" on Printer Ports and "Apply" on Printer properties.

( In case of PageWorks/Pro12/20, Protocol is set to "RAW" and "Port 
Number" of "RAW settings" is set to  9100. )

Trouble Shooting;
Case1. Can not print.
* Open configure port on Ports tab of printer properties and continue 
  to follow from the step4.
* In case if "Standard" is checked and selected "Generic Network Card" 
  or "Minolta Network Printer" on Step6, delete this port and create 
  a new port.  Then , the same problem explained in Case 4 will start. 

Case2. Get a garbage print or an extra print.
Open configure port on Ports tab of printer properties and make sure 
that setting is made to LPR Byte Counting Enabled. 

Case3. Last Page cannot print.
Open configure port on Ports tab of printer properties and make sure 
that setting is made to LPR Byte Counting Enabled. 

Case4. "Off Line" status appears in the printer folder even when it 
       can be printed.
Uninstall printer driver, delete this port and re-install it again.
 
3. Before installing the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/Pro L' driver for a 
   network connected printer, such as NetWare, or peer-to-peer via NIC, 
   you need to install the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/Pro L' driver for 
   "LPT1" first and then change the port to the desired network port. 
   During the driver installation for LPT1, please don't print the 
   TestPage when the dialog box displays 'Would you like to print a 
   test page?'.  For your system doesn't connect to the LPT1 but 
   network with the printer.

4. When you want to print by using NetWare Print Sever from Windows 
   NT 4.0, and you have installed IP-P2P or IPX-P2P programs, data 
   transfer speed over NetWare Sever could be slower than expected. 
   In that case, you would be better to remove 'Peer To Peer' program.


<<Driver Setting>>

5. The 'Separator' button on the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/Pro L' driver
   can not be used for the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/Pro L'.

6. When you want to print multiple copies of N-up page, you need to 
   uncheck 'collate' in the 'Printer' dialogue of the application that 
   you are using.

7. When you print 'Legal' documents, you need to select 'Legal' paper 
   from 'Page Setup' in the application, and otherwise the 'Minolta 
   ColorPageWorks/Pro L' cannot print properly.

8. When you want to use the 'Enhance Contrast' function in Image tab. 
   We suggest check the 'Enhance Contrast' in CPW-L driver, then 
   using the ZScript for printing to avoid the wrong outputs.

9. We identified that the following PCs can print with ONLY EPP mode:
      - Gateway Solo 9100XL, PentiumII, 366MHz
      - Dell Inspiration 3200D, PentiumII, 233MHz
      - Compaq Armada 3500, PentiumII, 366 MHz
   If "BI-DIRECTIONAL" is disable in the driver, these PCs can print 
   with the other parallel modes:Nibble, Bi-directional, and ECP.
   However, status monitor won't function with "BI-DIRECTIONAL" off
   status.  

   The following explains how to turn off "BI-DIRECTIONAL" in the driver.

   On Windows95/98, open Properties of the driver, click Details tab and 
   click a push button for Spool Settings to open Spool Settings dialog. 
   On this dialog, select "Disable bi-directional support for the printer".

   On WindowsNT4.0, open Properties of the driver and click Ports tab.
   On this tab, turn off a check mark for "Enable bi-directional support".

10. If you turn on your PC during the printer's warmup status,
    the printer does not print.  In this case, turning off and on 
    the printer will make the printer prints correctly.
    

<<PostScript Option (ZScript)>>

11. Recommend users to use the CPW-L driver for printing. If the output
   is incorrect, then use the ZScript driver instead for printing.

12. When you want to print an 'EPS' file, you need to install the 
    ZScript (PostScript) option, and print by using ZScript driver.

13. When you want to use the ZScript option for a remote printer, you 
    need to select desired printer from the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/
    Pro L'driver, not the ZScript driver (PostScript driver).

14. When you want to use ZScript, and if you have a lot of fonts (more 
    than 500), you may have difficulty installing the ZScript option, 
    because of the size limitation of 'Win.ini' in Windows. You may 
    need to remove some of these fonts to get ZScript to install.

15. When you install multiple drivers for the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/
    Pro L', you do not need to install ZScript more than once.

16. You need to uninstall the Masquerade before using the "Print to 
    file" function in NT4.0.

17. You need to set other than the ZScript printer as default in order to 
    remove the ZScript driver from Win3.1x.

18. During the installing of Masquerade in Win3.1, the J-Post selection 
    will appear. You need to use WPS.exe to free modules to complete 
    the installation. WPS.EXE is a utility that allows you to 
    selectively free modules that are in use by Windows. When you run 
    Masquerade it may "patch" the existing COMMDLG.DLL and PSCRIPT.DRV 
    files. In order to do this, no other application can be using these
    files. If some other application is using one of these files and 
    Masquerade needs to patch it, then Masquerade will pop up a message
    box saying "Need exclusive access to COMMDLG.DLL or PSCRIPT.DRV), 
    close any application that has it open and retry". If you close all
    apps other than Program Manager and try again and the same error 
    occurs, you can use WPS to free COMMDLG.DLL and proceed to create 
    a Masquerade generated driver. Please refer to WPS-EXE for 
    installation instructions. WPS.exe located on 
        http://www.zeno.com/tech/sp50upd.html.


<<General>>

19. When you print multiple copies of a document in N-up, Fit to Paper 
    and/or with Watermark, check Collate in Print dialog box of the 
    application with Windows2000.

20. If the watermark is not printed properly, please use "Arial Black"
    (default) as font typeface on Windows2000.

21. With Windows2000, plug&play (find new hardware) wizard appers even 
    though you have already installed this driver.  Proceed with the 
    message and complete the wizard once, so the wizard will never appear 
    again.

22. When you send a huge file with high resolution for printing. If the 
    Video Under-run occurs, then you need to change to lower resolution
    and restart the printer.

23. If you have any difficulty printing to the 'Minolta ColorPageWorks/
    Pro L', you may be able to resolve the problem by changing your 
    PC's BIOS setting for the 'Parallel Port'. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR
    WITH THE 'PC BIOS' SETTING, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THAT SETTING.
    MINOLTA DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE AS A 
    RESULT OF YOUR ACTIONS.


<<Status Monitor>>

24. If you have any difficulty with the 'Status Monitor', you may need 
    to 'Exit' and start it again.

25. When you are printing, the response time period for the 'Status 
    Monitor' will be longer than when the printer is idle.
