============================================================
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--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.
4. MS Internet Explorer 5.0--A SPOOL32 crash may be
experienced when printing web pages containing Java
related data. Recommend to upgrade to IE 5.5 or
higher.
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. Network--Under Windows XP/2000 only Generic and
Minolta Network Printer are supported as the
Standard TCP/IP port.
4. Network--When using the LPR port under Windows NT,
name the print queue LP.
============================================================
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 200
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.
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.
============================================================
V. PAGESCOPE WEB CONNECTION
1. 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.
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 STATUS MONITOR CENTER
1. Crown Print Monitor--If you install the Crown Print
Monitor (version 2.0.14 or lower) to use with
another KONICA MINOLTA 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 Network Printer as
the device type. Then use the Microsoft Print
Monitor in this environment.
4. Windows 98/Me--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.
6. magicolor 2430 DL User's Guide--Under Chapter 3 of the User's
Guide, the note "If the device is connected to the USB port or
if "Unable to Connect" appears under Status, Status Display
or PageScope Web Connection does not appear, even when you
double-click the printer name" must instead read as follows:
If "Unable to Connect" appears under Status, Status Display
or PageScope Web Connection does not appear, even when you
double-click the printer name."
============================================================
VII. 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--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.
3. USB Installation (Windows 9x)--Due to a Windows,
limitation, you are required to specify the location
of the printer driver twice.
4. Installation (WinXP)--Due to a Windows limitation,
when a second magicolor 2430 DL printer driver is
installed, the printer name in the Printers folder is
identified as (Copy 1) rather than (Copy 2).
5. Installation (Windows 9x)--When upgrading to a newer
version of the driver, you need to first uninstall
the older version before installing the new version.
6. Installation (Win2K, WinXP)--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.
7. Installation (WinXP 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.
8. IPP Port (Win2K)--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.
9. Overwriting 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.
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 2430 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 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.
15. Uninstallation (Windows 9x)--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 9x)--If you uninstall
"KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2430 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. Mixed Paper Sizes--When printing a document with mixed paper
sizes, the job may print with unpredictable results.
For example, a conflict will occur if a duplex document
were specified such that the odd-numbered page is Letter size
(front side) and the even-numbered page (back side) is Legal
size paper. Booklet or N-Up applications that employ scaling
may experience missing data or page shifting due to different
aspect ratios used for different paper sizes.
An application may use mixed paper sizes when the following
occurs:
(a) AUTO CONTINUE is set to ON
(b) TRAY CHAINING is set to ON
(c) Tray 1 and Tray 2 have different sized paper
(d) Paper Source is set to Auto
(e) Paper sizes specified on the front and back side
are the same
19. 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.
20. Print Spooler--It is possible that during the printing of
jobs, the print spooler may crash. This would mean that the
job would not have been completed successfully and that it will
remain in the Print Queue. Any jobs in the Print Queue
immediately following the job with the spooler crash may not
print. In order to resolve this condition, you must first flush
all the jobs in the Print Queue. For Win2K/XP/NT, a special
utility program has been included in your magicolor 2430 DL CD
to delete/flush all jobs in the Print Queue. This file is
located in the utilities folder of your magicolor 2430 DL CD
with the file name "FlushPrintQueue.bat." Please ensure that
you are logged in as Administrator prior to executing the
utility program. For Win9x/Me systems, you must reboot your PC.
After you reboot, you will have the option of deleting all jobs
in the Print Queue.
============================================================
VIII.STATUS DISPLAY
1. Power Off/Communications message--The Status Display
may read incorrect while the print job is spooling.
The correct status should be updated once the job
has cleared the spooler.
2. Port Busy message--The Status Display may possibly
display a "Port Busy" status. The status should
update itself after the driver finishes sending data.
============================================================
IX. [OPTIONAL] PRINTER MEMORY (DIMMs)
1. Printer Memory--Due to the configuration of the printer
controller board, only 2 banks of memory are recognized
(single-sided DIMMs). Double-sided DIMMs have 4 banks of
memory but only 2 of the 4 banks are recognized. As such,
a printer installed with 512MB double-sided DIMMs may only
recognize half of that memory, 256MB. In order to recognize
all available memory, you must ensure that you have
single-sided DIMMs. The DIMM specification is as follows:
Capacity: 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB
Module Type: Unbuffered Non-ECC
Physical Bank(s): 1
Pin Count: 168-pin
Configuration: 8Mx64, 16Mx64, 32Mx64, 64Mx64
Data Rate: 100MHz, 133MHz
CAS Latency: 3
Voltage: 3.3V
============================================================
X. PICTBRIDGE SUPPORT
1. PictBridge Support--With 32MB of on-board memory or 32MB of
on-board memory and 64MB DIMM, the magicolor 2430 DL will
support 600X600 printing in DRAFT mode. It will not be able
to support index printing. The Digital Still Camera and the
operation control panel will not show other selections. With
128MB DIMM or more, all functions are supported. Futhermore,
the magicolor 2430 DL supports 640X480 (and above) image
sizes.
