The controller is an image controller designed to use the machine as a printer, allowing you to print documents directly to the machine from a computer to which the controller is connected. The printer driver, which is used during printing, is equipped with various functions that make the most out of the features of the machine. They enable you to use the same functions as those offered by the machine. When actually running a print cycle, you can specify various functions of the machine on your computer screen.
NOTE
•When using the controller, be sure to set the machine to the On Line state.
•Some functions offered by the machine cannot be combined, such as Staple and Hole-Punch, and some others may not be used because of a paper size involved. The functions that cannot be selected appear dimmed.
Further, if functions that are incompatible with each other are specified, the Conflicts dialog box will appear, prompting you to change the settings. When this dialog box appears, check the details and reselect the functions to ensure function compatibility.
•Some settings, which are defied by the machine for the restricted combinations of different functions, can at times be accepted by the printer driver. If a print command is issued from the personal computer with such settings made, the machine does not produce the output correctly or abandons the job to produce nothing. Make sure that you make correct settings.
Various Printing Functions
•Makes prints that are sorted into complete sets of the originals or grouped into uncollated groups, each containing prints of one original. p.3-22

The controller is installed inside the machine. The installation procedures are to be performed by service personnel.
The controller is connected to the computer by a printer cable or network cable. Power to the controller is supplied from the machine.
4692O002AB
TIP
If you cannot print from your computer, make sure that the printer cable or network cable is connected to the corresponding connectors.
1-9
The following functions must be set on the machine using its Utility Mode, as they relate to the controller.
Select the priority use of the machine, either as a copier or printer.
Copier: The machine is used as a copier.
The machine starts the print cycle only after it has received the entire data of a particular print job.
The machine can be used for copying, since it starts printing only after it has received the entire data of the job for printing. This means that more time is available to you for copying, but you have to wait for a longer time before a particular print job is done.
Printer: The machine is used as a printer.
The machine starts the print cycle before it completes receiving the entire data of a particular print job.
On receiving the data for one page, the machine starts printing, accepting no other job for copying. This means that less time is available to you for copying, but you do not have to wait long before a particular print job is done.
On Line key
This function is the same as that available in ordinary printers as On Line/ Off Line.
Select On Line normally.
A lit lamp indicates that the machine is in the On Line mode.
Ready Lamp
Data can be transferred while this lamp stays lit up.
The lamp remains blinking while data is being transferred.

The printer driver requires setting of items that are common to all print jobs, including the port to which the printer cable is connected and optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using property sheets available from the Properties command after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating environment is changed.
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, meaning that you do not usually bother to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the following cases.

There are two different steps to take to display a property sheet. The contents of a particular property sheet slightly differ depending on how you access it. Select the appropriate one according to your need.
(1)To display a property sheet from the printer folder
(2)To display a property sheet from an application menu Below are the detailed procedures for each approach.
Displaying a Property Sheet from the Printer Folder
1.Click the [Start] button and select “Settings.” Then, click “Printers.”
2.Click the icon of “Minolta Di550 PCL6.”
3.Select “Properties” from the menu that will appear. This shows the property sheet.
It allows you to set the environment in which you will use the printer. The settings made through this method are valid in all applications.
TIP
With PCL6, only OS standard property is displayed. When “--> 32bit Super Drive Setup” tab is clicked, exclusive property will be displayed.
Displaying a Property Sheet from an Application Menu
1.Select [Print...] from the [File] menu of the application.
2.Make sure that the “Name” of the “Printer” is “Minolta Di550 PCL6”: If “Minolta Di550 PCL6” is not listed, click [ ▼ ] and, from the menu that will then appear, select “Minolta Di550 PCL6.”
3.Click the [Properties] button. This shows the property sheet.
This method allows you to set the number of copies and paper for each document. Note that the settings made on the property sheet accessed through the application are valid only for that particular application.
