Connecting to a PC on a
Windows Platform
Introduction
This chapter guides you through the installation of a Crown II printer in Windows environments, and
describes how to install additional printer utilities found on the Software Utilities CD-ROM. The two
most common ways to connect your Crown II printer to a PC on a Windows platform is either using a
local connection (parallel or USB interface), or using a network connection (TCP/IP).
Parallel Connection
Connecting your Crown II printer locally to your PC using a parallel connection requires two steps.
1 Connect your Crown II printer to your PC.
Connect your Crown II printer to your PC by means of a parallel cable. The cable must not
exceed a length of 6.5 feet (2 meters).
2 Install a KONICA MINOLTA PostScript or PCL Driver for Windows.
Windows Platform Proceed with Paragraph Page

TCP/IP Connection
To connect your Crown II printer in a TCP/IP network
environment, you must make sure that the internal
network addresses in the Crown II printer have been
set. The next illustration shows an example of a simple
network environment.
Principally, you only have to enter a unique IP address.
Optionally, you may enter a subnet mask and/or a
router address, depending on your local environment
and requirements.
It is assumed that all PCs attached to the network
needing access to your Crown II printer have TCP/IP
hardware and software installed and that an RJ45
network connector is available for the Crown II printer.
If your network does not provide an RJ45 connection,
you may use a hub.
The following illustrations show a quick overview of
the Crown II printer menu structure affecting TCP/IP
settings.
For details regarding the TCP/IP menu and printer settings in general, refer to the
Crown Book Part 1.

1 Enable the TCP/IP protocol.
Crown II printers are shipped with the TCP/IP protocol
enabled. You should, however, verify this.
2 Set the Internet address.
This setting must contain a unique IP address. All Crown II
printers are shipped with a preset
IP address. In most cases you may want to modify this
address, so it doesn’t conflict with any other IP address
present in your network or in networks attached.
Your network system administrator should assign the
IP address.
You need the printer’s IP address when setting up the Crown
port as described in “Adding a Crown Port” on page 6.
3 Set the subnet mask address.
The subnet mask allows you to limit access to your printer
(for example, departmental divisions). The table below shows
some examples.

have access to the printer (the last triplet of the address xxx,
doesn’t affect access and can be any value).
4 Set the router/gateway address.
If you have a router/gateway in your network and you allow users outside your network environment to print on your Crown II printer, you may need to enter the router/gateway’s IP address
here. The default setting (000.000.000.000) is recommended because it allows for autosensing of
the router/gateway and responds to any router communication received.
5 Set additional Crown II printer parameters.
Although the parameters mentioned above are sufficient for normal operation, you might want to
change other settings in the TCP/IP menu to accommodate your local requirements. When you
are finished making changes, reboot your Crown II printer.
After all printer settings are performed, you must reboot your printer to make sure the changes
take effect.

TCP/IP Connection
6 Connect your Crown II printer to the network.
Attach your Crown II printer to the network by plugging the network RJ45 connector into the
RJ45 receptacle on the interface panel of your Crown II printer.
7 Install the Crown Print Monitor.
A print monitor is software that enables the connection between software applications and the
network port on your PC. While some versions of Windows come with a print monitor, the Crown
Print Monitor was designed specifically for your Crown II printer. It allows the transportation of
print data over the TCP/IP protocol for serverless printing.
Instructions for installing the Crown Print Monitor are in the next section, “Installing a Crown
Print Monitor” on page 5.
8 Install the printer driver.
Instructions for installing the printer driver are in the following locations.

Collate Specifies that one complete copy of the document should be printed before the next
copy is printed. Collating through your application is more time-consuming than collating
through the printer driver. When you collate through the application, the application
sends the complete job the requested number of times. When you collate through the
printer driver, the application sends the job only once. The Crown II printer holds the data
in memory and prints it the requested number of times.

2 Edit the system host table by adding the following line to the hosts file:
internetaddress hostname
where internetaddress is the Internet address of the printer (Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/TCPIP/Internet Address menu [where xxxxxxxx is either Resident or
Optional]) and hostname is the name of the printer.
3 Send the hardware address to the print server by typing:
arp -s hostname hardwareaddress temp↵
ping hostname↵
where hostname is the name of the host and hardwareaddress is the new
hardware address of the printer (in the form ##.##.##.## as found on the
printer startup page).
Installing the UNIX Host Software
Insert the Software Utilities CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
1
Some drives require that the disk be placed in a caddy before being inserted in the drive. Check
your CD-ROM drive documentation for information. Also, it takes a few seconds for the
automounter to detect the CD.
2 Log on the UNIX system as root.
3 Type the following command to go to the root directory:
cd /↵
4 If you’re using a Solaris system, skip to step 6.
If you’re using a SunOS system and already have a directory on the system named cdrom, skip to
step 5.
If you’re using a SunOS system and don't have a directory on the system named cdrom, type the
following command to make one:
mkdir /cdrom↵
5 Mount the CD-ROM file system:
mount -r -t hsfs device_filename /cdrom↵
For device_filename substitute the complete pathname of the device associated with the CDROM drive. On SunOS systems, device_filename is usually /dev/sr0. If it isn't, check your SunOS
system documentation.
6 Verify that the CD-ROM file system has been mounted by listing the contents of the directory:
The directory contains several subdirectories, including UNIX.
7 Change to the directory in which you want the UNIX Host Software to be installed.
8 Extract the files from the CD-ROM. For example:
tar xvf /cdrom/platform/unix/host_sw/hs_tar↵
The utilities are installed in a directory named KONICA MINOLTAoft in the current directory.
See the readme file on the CD-ROM for the exact location of this file.
9 Unmount the CD-ROM file system:
umount device_filename↵
Installing the UNIX Host Software 89
For device_filename, substitute the complete pathname of the device file associated with the
CD-ROM drive.
10 Change to the newly created KONICA MINOLTAoft directory:
cd KONICA MINOLTAoft↵
11 Run the Qinstall installation utility:
./Qinstall↵
12 Follow the instructions on the screen. When the installation is complete, the following
message displays:
KONICA MINOLTA UNIX Host Software installation complete
13 Copy the addprt and qpr utilities and their associated manual pages to standard directories.
For example,
cp addprt /usr/bin↵
cp qpr /usr/bin↵
cp man/addprt.1 /usr/man/man1↵
cp man/qpr.1 /usr/man/man1↵
14 Update the printer's Internet name and address in the hosts file.
15 Run the KONICA MINOLTA addprt utility by typing:
addprt↵
16 Follow the instructions on the screen.
