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.

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.
