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

2

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).

Install a KONICA MINOLTA PostScript or PCL Driver for Windows.

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.

TCP/IP Connection

3

			Mode
			Common
		Timeouts	Emulation
	Security	Emulations	EtherTalk
		Serial	Min K Spool
IDLE	Administration	Communications	TCP/IP
		Parallel	CrownNet
	Control Panel	Special Pages	NetWare
		NIC	PS Protocol
			LAN Manager
			Def Job Prio

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.

	TCP/IP
	Protocol		Enable, Disable
	Internet Address		xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
	Subnet Mask		000.000.000.000
	Default Router		000.000.000.000
	Remove Passwords		Yes, No
	Remove Hosts		Yes, No
	Secure Files		Yes, No
	Accnting/revchan		Enable, Disable
	Accnting Timeout		5-600 (sec.)
	Port Assignment		1-9999
	LPD Banner		Enable, Disable
	Bootp Enable		Enable, Disable
	RARP Enable		Enable, Disable
			Internet Address,
	SNMP NMS[1...5]		Community Name,
			Access

Subnet Mask	User Access
000.000.000.000	No limitations (default)
255.255.255.xxx	Only users (PCs) having an IP address of 255.255.255.xxx
	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.

4	TCP/IP Connection

7

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.

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.

Windows Platform	Proceed with Paragraph	Page

Adding a Crown Port

Before you can send print jobs and receive status information on them using the Crown Print Monitor, you must add a Crown port to your PC’s configuration, and then associate the Crown port with your printer. You can add a port using a manual setup method or an auto-discovery method. For first-time installations we recommend that you use the manual method.

If you’ve already installed the Crown Print Monitor, follow the instructions for adding a new Crown port as described in “Adding a Crown Port After Crown Print Monitor Installation” on page 9.

6	TCP/IP Connection

Manual Method

1 Select the Manual option from the Add Crown Port dialog.

2 Type the logical name for the port in the Port Name text box.

This is a descriptive identifier of the port. Each port name must be unique. The maximum port name is up to 128 characters. This name displays in the Print to: list box of the Printer Properties dialog box in Print Manager.

If the port name exists already, the following message displays: The port name “port_name” already exists on this computer. Please choose another name. You must choose another Port Name.

On initial access to the Add Port dialog box, whatever you type in the Port Name text box is automatically copied to the IP Address text box. The port name and IP address can be the same or they can be different. However, if they are different, then first click the cursor in the IP Address text box and type it. Then click the cursor in the Port Name text box and type it.

3 Type the Internet Protocol Address for the port.

This address is either the unique host name or the dot notation identifier (IP address) of your printer.

Host Name	A symbolic name (a convenient way for people to refer to a host) that
	identifies network devices on your computer. This name must exist in
	your Network Host Name file and must be unique.
Dot Notation	A unique set of four numbers, separated by periods, which identifies a
Identifier	device on the Internet (for example 191.45.105.227).

If an invalid or previously used IP address (host name or dot notation identifier) is given, the following message displays: The port address “IP_Address” could not be resolved on this computer. Accept it anyway?

If you receive this message, you must do one of the following:

a Select No and type another valid IP address (this is what we recommend).

TCP/IP Connection
