Configuring your machine for a network 2

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 Setup Guide.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2

To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its 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 2

2
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device 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
How the IP address is assigned to your print server: 2
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from that server.
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 63 Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 64 Using RARP to configure the IP address on page 65.
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 65.
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a KONICA MINOLTA print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. For information on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 10.
8
Configuring your machine for a network

Subnet mask 2

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
Where the 0 is in the Subnet mask, there is no limit to communication at this part of the address. What this means in the above example is, we can communicate with any device that has an IP address that begins with
192.168.1.x. (where x.x. are numbers between 0 and 255).

Gateway (and router) 2

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 at 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.

Network printing from Windows® basic TCP/IP Peer-to-Peer printing

Overview 5

To connect your machine to your network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Guide. We recommend that you use the KONICA MINOLTA installer application on the CD/DVD-ROM which we have provided with the machine. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to your network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your machine for a network. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your KONICA MINOLTA network machine.
If you are a Windows installer application, use the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment. Please follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer driver which you will need to be able to print using your network machine.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to configure the IP address, see Chapter 2 first.
• Verify the host computer and the machine are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.
• If you are connecting to a Network Print Queue or Share (printing only), see Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share on page 68 for installation details.
• The default password for KONICA MINOLTA print server is “access”.
