Introduction
Introduction
Crown Print Monitor+ works with the Microsoft Print Spooler in Windows
environments to port jobs to the printer as well as to retrieve information from
the printer. In Crown Print Monitor+, Print Spooler “monitors” or “despoolers”
are configured to service print jobs in a particular queue. Designed
specifically for your printer, Crown Print Monitor+ uses TCP/IP protocol to
transport print jobs and access printer status information.
As shown in the illustration, Crown Print Monitor+ does more than just transport your print job to the printer. It also displays status information on that print
job.

System Requirements
To use Crown Print Monitor+, you need
A printer with Crown or Crown Port+ printer technology and an Ethernet
interface configured for TCP/IP protocol
Crown Print Monitor+ works with the KONICA MINOLTA printer
it was shipped with. If you have other KONICA MINOLTA
printers, check their documentation or our web site at
www.konicaminolta.net/printer/
technology. If so, they can also use Crown Print Monitor+.
A workstation running Microsoft Windows XP/2000/NT4/Me/98
Crown Print Monitor+ files
to see whether they use Crown
Files are available on the Software Utilities CD-ROM that came
with your printer or you can download the files from the Internet.
The AutoInstaller (on the Software Utilities CD-ROM that came with your
printer) automatically installs the necessary components of Crown Print
Monitor+ and places the required files in the appropriate locations.
You can also load the files manually, either using the files on the CD-ROM
that came with your printer or by downloading the files from the Internet.
If you already have Crown Print Monitor installed, Crown Print
Monitor+ can function at the same time so you don’t have to
reconfigure older printers. Or you can delete the ports to which the
older printers are attached, recreate them using Crown Print
Monitor+ and let Crown Print Monitor+ manage your Crown
printers.
