Introduction
Network features
1
Your KONICA MINOLTA machine has the following basic network features.
Network printing
The print server provides printing services for Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and
Windows Server® 2003/2008 supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater) supporting TCP/IP.
Network scanning
You can scan documents over the network to your computer (See Network Scanning in the Software User’s Guide).
Network PC Fax
You can directly send a file from your computer as a PC Fax over your network (See PC-FAX Software for Windows® and Sending a Fax for Macintosh in the Software User’s Guide for a complete description). Windows® users can also PC Fax receive (See PC-FAX receiving in the Software User’s Guide).
Fax to Server
The Fax to Server feature allows the machine to scan documents and send them via a separate fax server. Unlike Internet fax or I-Fax, the Fax to Server feature utilizes a server to send the documents as fax data over phone or T-1 lines.
Management utilities
BRAdmin Light
BRAdmin Light is a utility for initial setup of KONICA MINOLTA network connected devices. This utility can search for KONICA MINOLTA products on your network, view the status and configure basic network
settings, such as IP address. The BRAdmin Light utility is available for Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2003/2008 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater computers. For installing
BRAdmin Light on Windows®, please see the Quick Guide provided with the machine. For Macintosh users, BRAdmin Light will be installed automatically when you install the printer driver. If you have already installed the printer driver, you don’t have to install it again.
2 |
Introduction
Web Based Management (web browser)
The Web Based Management allows you to monitor KONICA MINOLTA printer’s status or change some of 1 its configuration settings using a web browser. 
Note
We recommend Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6.0 (or greater) or Firefox 1.0 (or greater) for Windows® and Safari 1.3 (or greater) for Macintosh. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.
Remote Setup
The Remote Setup software allows you to configure network settings from a Windows® or Macintosh (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater) computer. (See Remote Setup in the Software User’s Guide.)
Internet fax/scan to E-mail server
The KONICA MINOLTA machine can be assigned an E-mail address allowing you to send, receive or forward documents over a Local Area Network or the Internet to PC’s or other Internet fax machines. Before using this function, you have to configure the necessary machine settings by using the machine’s control panel. (For details, see Internet fax and Scan to E-mail (E-mail server) on page 68.) You can also configure these settings using Web Based Management (web browser) see Web Based Management on page 55, or Remote
Setup see Using Remote Setup to change the print server settings (Not available for Windows Server® 2003/2008) on page 16.)

Introduction
Types of network connections
1
Wired network connection example
Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no central server controlling file access or printer sharing.
WindowsR |
Windows R |
Windows R |
TCP/IP |
|
TCP/IP |
1Router
2Network printer (your machine)
In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier to configure than the Network Shared printing method described on the following page. See Network Shared printing on page 5.
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
The KONICA MINOLTA machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
If you are using routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the KONICA MINOLTA machine.
The KONICA MINOLTA machine can also communicate with Macintosh (TCP/IP compatible operating systems).

Introduction
Network Shared printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type |
1 |
|||||||||||||||||
of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs. |

3TCP/IP, USB or parallel (where available)
4Printer (your machine)
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
The KONICA MINOLTA machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is connected via the USB or the parallel interface at the server.
5 |
Introduction
Protocols
1
TCP/IP protocols and functionalities
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow users to gain access to network connected resources.
The print server used on this KONICA MINOLTA product supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol.
TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows®, Windows Server® and Macintosh.
The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this KONICA MINOLTA product.
Note
•You can configure the protocol settings by using the HTTP interface (web browser).
See How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser) on page 56.
•For information about supported security protocols, see Security protocols on page 79.
DHCP/BOOTP/RARP
By using the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, the IP address can be automatically configured.
Note
To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network administrator.
APIPA
If you do not assign an IP address manually (using the control panel of the machine or the BRAdmin software) or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network.
DNS client
The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
NetBIOS name resolution
Network Basic Input/Output System name resolution enables you to obtain the IP address of the other device using its NetBIOS name during the network connection.
6 |
Introduction
WINS
Windows Internet Name Service is an information providing service for the NetBIOS name resolution by |
1 |
consolidating an IP address and a NetBIOS name that is in the local network. |
|
LPR/LPD
Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.
SMTP client
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via the Internet or Intranet.
Custom Raw Port (Default is Port 9100)
Another commonly used printing protocol on a TCP/IP network. It enables interactive data transmission.
IPP
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents directly to any accessible printer via the internet.
Note
For the IPPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 79.
mDNS
mDNS allows the KONICA MINOLTA print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS X Simple Network Configured system. (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater).
TELNET
The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports TELNET server for command line configuration.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers, routers and KONICA MINOLTA network ready machines. The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
Note
For the SNMPv3 protocol, see Security protocols on page 79.
LLMNR
The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers, if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works in both the IPv4 or IPv6 environment when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as
Windows Vista®.
7 |
Introduction
Web services
The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 users to install the KONICA MINOLTA |
1 |
printer driver by right clicking the machine icon from the Start / Network selection. |
|
See Installation when using web services (Windows Vista®/Windows® 7) on page 118.
The Web Services also lets you check the current status of the machine from your computer.
Web server (HTTP)
The KONICA MINOLTA print server is equipped with a built in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of its configuration settings using a web browser.

2 Configuring your machine for a network
Overview
2
Before using your KONICA MINOLTA machine in a network environment, you must install the KONICA MINOLTA software and also configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. In this chapter, you will learn the basic steps required to print over the network using TCP/IP protocol.
We recommend that you use the KONICA MINOLTA installer on the CD/DVD-ROM to install the KONICA MINOLTA software as this will guide you through the software and network installation. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Guide.
Note
If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the KONICA MINOLTA installer or any of KONICA MINOLTA’s software tools, you can also use the machine’s control panel to change network settings.
For more information, see Control panel setup on page 17.
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the IP address and subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
IP address
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to a network. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
•192.168.1.1
•192.168.1.2
•192.168.1.3
10
Configuring your machine for a network
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network the print server will automatically obtain its IP |
|
address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name |
|
services. |
2 |
|
Note
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see:
Using DHCP to configure the IP address on page 113. Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 114. Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 115.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 115.
Subnet mask
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2
•Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168. 1. 2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
•Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168. 1. 3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000
Note
0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with 192.168.1.x. (where x.x. are numbers between 0 and 255.)
Gateway (and router)
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located on an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator.

Before using your KONICA MINOLTA product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct |
3 |
TCP/IP settings. |
In this chapter, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on the front of the machine.
The Network menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the KONICA MINOLTA machine for your network configuration. Press Menu, then press a or b to choose Network. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure. For additional information on the menu, see Function table and default factory settings on page 121.
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications, which also can be used to configure many aspects of the network. (See Changing the print server settings
on page 15.)
TCP/IP
If you connect the machine with an Ethernet cable to your network, use the Wired LAN menu selections. If you connect the machine to a wireless Ethernet network, use the WLAN menu selections.
This menu has ten sections: Boot Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name, WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPA and IPv6.
Boot Method
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. The default setting is Auto.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the
Boot Method to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel, BRAdmin Light utility, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).

f Enter how many times the machine tries to obtain the IP address. We recommend you to enter 3 or more. |
3 |
Press OK. |
g Press Stop/Exit.
1Auto mode
In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP server is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is not available, the machine will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP server also does not answer, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.
2Static mode
In this mode the machine’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to the assigned address.
3RARP mode
The KONICA MINOLTA print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. (For more information on RARP, see Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 115.)
4BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to RARP that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. (For more information on BOOTP, see Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 114.)
5DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network (typically a UNIX, Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista® network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from a DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002 compliant dynamic name services.
Note
•If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT Method to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT Method, use the machine’s control panel Network menu, BRAdmin Light, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).
•On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
