Welcome

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the Konica Minolta bizhub C252.

The bizhub C252 is equipped with an integrated printer controller that allows
you to print directly from Windows-compatible computers or Macintosh
computers.

This Quick Guide describes the printing functions, operations, usage, and
safety precautions of the printer controller. In order to ensure that this ma­chine is used efficiently, carefully read this manual before using the machine.
In order to ensure that this machine is used safely, carefully read “Installation
and Operation Precautions” in the User’s Guide [Copy Operations] before
using the machine.

Overview

Machine Modes

The printer driver settings are mainly set using a computer, however, the font
list can be printed, and the printer controller settings and default print set­tings can be set using the control panel of this machine. In addition, fax and
scanning operations can be used by switching the mode.

To switch between modes, press the mode keys on the control panel.

[Copy]

This machine can be used as a copier.

[Scan]

This machine can be used as a scanner.

[Fax]

This machine can be used for faxing.

[Box]

This machine can be used to store jobs and as a document folder for for­warding data to a computer over the network.

Overview

Printing Flow

When using this printing system as a printer, the flow of the main process is
described below.

Print commands transmitted from the application are received by the printer
driver.

Data is transmitted to this machine over a parallel interface (IEEE 1284) when
this machine is used as a local printer, over a USB interface when this ma­chine is used as a USB printer, or over an Ethernet interface (TCP/IP, IPX/
SPX or AppleTalk) when this machine is used as a network printer. The data
is then delivered from this machine to the printer controller, which performs
image rasterization (development of output characters and images to bitmap
data). Finally, this data is printed from this machine.

2

Note

The parallel and USB interfaces cannot be used simultaneously.

To use this machine as a copier, press the [Copy] key on the control panel.

C252 1-3

Overview

When a print job is received during copying, the data is stored in the memory
of this machine. When copying is complete, the print job is automatically
printed.

Flow of the Computer Faxing Operation

Conventionally, faxes are sent by loading an original into a fax machine and
sending it.

With computer faxing, you can send a fax directly from your computer with­out using any paper.

Transmission commands sent from the application are received by the print­er driver.

Data is transmitted to this machine over a parallel interface (IEEE 1284) when
this machine is used as a local printer, over a USB interface when this ma­chine is used as a USB printer, or over an Ethernet interface (TCP/IP, IPX/
SPX or AppleTalk) when this machine is used as a network printer. The data
is then delivered from this machine to the printer controller, which performs
image rasterization (development of output characters and images to bitmap
data). Finally, this data is stored in the memory of this machine and transmit­ted like a conventional fax job.

Overview

Compatible Interfaces

The various interfaces that can be used to connect this printing system to a
computer are described below.

Ethernet Interface

Connect when using this printing system as a network printer.

Supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards. In addition, the Ethernet in­terface supports the TCP/IP (LDP/LPR, peer-to-peer), IPX/SPX (NetWare)
and AppleTalk (EtherTalk) protocols.

Parallel Interface (optional)

Connect when using this printing system as a local printer.

A computer running Windows and an IEEE 1284 parallel cable are required
for connection. Use a parallel cable that uses a terminal with an Amphenol
36-pin male connector.

The parallel interface supports the compatible, nibble, and ECP modes.

USB Interface (optional)

Connect when using this printing system as a network printer.

The USB interface can be connected to a computer running Windows. A
USB cable is required for connection. Use a type A (4 pin, male) or type B (4
pin, male) USB cable. A USB cable measuring 3 meters or less is recom­mended.

The parallel and USB interfaces cannot be used simultaneously. You can
switch the interfaces in the administrator mode.

The installation procedure for the Windows printer driver differs depending
on how this machine is connected to the computer and depending on which
printer driver is used. The installation method also differs depending on the
version of Windows that you are using. Refer to the table below for the ap­propriate procedure for installing the printer driver on your computer.

Note

For details on installing the printer driver in a network environment, refer
to “Setting Up Network Printing” on page 3-1. Because it is necessary to
specify other network settings in advance when installing the printer driv­er using a network connection, install it using a local connection at this
time.

To install the printer driver under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0, log on using a user name that is au­thorized by the administrator.

To connect this machine to a computer using a parallel connection or a
USB connection, the optional local interface kit is required.

2-2 C252

Installing the Printer Driver

Automatic Installation Using the Installer

With the installer, this machine is detected to determine whether it is con­nected by USB or is on the same TCP/IP network as the computer, and then
the required printer driver is automatically installed. You can also manually
specify the printer driver to be installed.

2

Note

Since this machine is automatically detected with a network connection,
be sure to set the IP address of this machine before connecting it. For de­tails on specifying the settings, refer to “Setting the IP Address for This
Machine” on the User’s Guide [Print Operations].

When installing on Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, or Server 2003, adminis­trator permissions are required.

If the wizard starts up in order to add new hardware with a USB or parallel
connection, click [Cancel].

For IPP printing, it is not necessary to install the printer driver at this time
since IPP printing setup is performed when the printer driver is installed.
For further details on IPP printing, refer to “IPP Printing (Windows 2000/
XP/Server 2003)” on the User’s Guide [Print Operations].

Note

Even if the printer driver is deleted using the method described above,
the model information file will remain in the computer. Therefore, the driv­er may not be able to be overwritten when reinstalling the same version
of the printer driver. When installing the same version of the printer driver,
be sure to also delete the files described below.

Check the “C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86” folder and
delete the folder of the corresponding model if it is available. If the Konica
Minolta PCL driver and Konica Minolta PostScript driver are both in­stalled, the model information of both drivers is deleted. If one driver is
remaining, do not delete it.

Delete the “oem*.inf” and “oem*.PNF” files in the “C:\WINDOWS\inf”
folder. (The asterisk (*) in the file name displays a number, and the
number varies according to the environment of the computer.) Before de­leting the files, open the INF file, check that the model name is described
in the last several lines, and then check that the file of the corresponding
model is available.

The PNF file is the same number as the INF file.

automatically, and Port 9100 is created.

*2

The printer driver is not compatible with the operating system.

*3

Installing the printer driver using the installer is not applicable.

*4

Not required since standard operating system functions are used.

To obtain the Peer to Peer Printing Tool, consult the dealer where you pur­chased this machine.

To specify the driver settings when installing the Peer to Peer Printing Tool,
refer to “Port 9100 Printing (Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP/Server 2003)” on
the User’s Guide [Print Operations].

When using SMB printing, you can perform network printing without install­ing the Peer to Peer Printing Tool software. For details, refer to “SMB print­ing” on the User’s Guide [Print Operations].
