============================================================
I. INTRODUCTION
This Readme file contains special information relating
to the following items:
- Application Notes
- Configuration
- Connectivity
- Error Messages
- PageScope Light
- Print Monitor
- Printer Driver
- Status Display
============================================================
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. MS Internet Explorer 5.#/6.#--Some graphics (GIF)
may not be imaged properly.
7. 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.
============================================================
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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
============================================================
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. URL's--When typing URL's in the System/Online
Assistance window, you must use only lowercase
letters. In addition, PageScope Light does not
support https:// URLs, only http:// URLs.
5. WINS/NetBIOS--After changing the WINS/NetBIOS
setting, the printer must be powered off/on.
6. Job Name--Some job names may appear corrupted when
displayed in the PSL. This maybe observed when the
job name contains two-byte characters.
============================================================
VII. PRINT MONITOR
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 98/95--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 profiles--During installation, ICC profiles
are automatically installed in both the Color and
Windows/system32/spool/drivers/32x86/3/
directories.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Installation (USB)--Due to a Windows limitation, you
are required to specify the location of the printer
driver twice.
6. 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).
7. 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.
8. 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/.
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 2300 DL driver. If you try to
use an overlay file created with another driver,
the file will 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. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. Yellow Line--A yellow line may be imaged when a Size
Mismatch is detected while printing thick stock.
Replace the paper with the correct media size and
proceed to print the job.
============================================================
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. Printer not Attached 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 powered on.
3. 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.
4. Port Busy message--The Status Display may possibly
display a "Port Busy" status. The status should
update itself after the driver finishes sending data.
