Introduction

Types of network connections

1

Network connection example

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

2

	1
TCP/IP	TCP/IP

1)Router

2)Network 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. See Network Shared printing on page 4.

Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

The KONICA MINOLTA machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.

If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the KONICA MINOLTA machine.

3

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.

2)Also known as “Server” or “Print server”

3)TCP/IP, USB or parallel

4)Printer (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.

4

Introduction

Protocols

1

TCP/IP protocols and functions

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) protocols.

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 Mac OS X. 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 16.

•For information about the security protocols, see Security protocols on page 32.

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 Light) 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.

WINS

Windows Internet Name Service is an information providing service for the NetBIOS name resolution by consolidating an IP address and a NetBIOS name that is in the local network.

5

Introduction

LPR/LPD

Commonly used printing protocols on a TCP/IP network.

1

SMTP client

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client is used to send E-mails via the Internet or Intranet.

Custom Raw Port (default is Port9100)

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 32.

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 32.

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®.

Web services

The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 users to install the KONICA MINOLTA printer driver by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder.

See Installation when using Web Services (For Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 users) on page 69. The Web Services also let you check the current status of the machine from your computer.

Introduction

Web server (HTTP)

The KONICA MINOLTA print server is equipped with a built in web server that allows you to monitor its status	1
or change some of 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.

•For the HTTPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 32.

IPv6

This machine is compatible with the IPv6, the next generation internet protocol.

Other Protocol

LLTD

The Link Layer Topology Discovery protocol (LLTD) lets you locate the KONICA MINOLTA machine easily

on the Windows Vista® Network Map. Your KONICA MINOLTA machine will be shown with a distinctive icon and the node name. The default setting for this protocol is Off.

7

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 Setup Guide.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways

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

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:

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

Subnet masks restrict network communication.

	Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2	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)

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.

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

Overview

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® user and want to configure your machine without using the KONICA MINOLTA

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”.
