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.
1Connect 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).
2Install a KONICA MINOLTA PostScript or PCL Driver for Windows.

Make sure your operating system (Windows 98SE and above, not including Windows NT4) supports
USB and make sure USB drivers for the port are installed on your operating system (found on the
Device Manager).

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.

1Enable the TCP/IP protocol.
Crown II printers are shipped with the TCP/IP protocol
enabled. You should, however, verify this.
2Set 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.
3Set 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).
4Set 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.
5Set 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
6Connect 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.
7Install 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.
8Install the printer driver.

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.
installations we recommend that you use the manual method.
For first-time
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.

TCP/IP Connection
Manual Method
1Select the Manual option from the Add Crown Port dialog.
2Type 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:
“port_name” already exists on this computer. Please choose
another name.
You must choose another Port Name.
The 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.
3Type 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 NameA 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
Identifier
A unique set of four numbers, separated by periods, which identifies a
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:

bSelect Ye s and add this address in the Network Host Name file on you computer before you
send any print jobs to the port. If a print job is sent to the port before the address is entered in
the Network Host Name file, printing of the job fails.
cSelect Cancel to abort adding the port and to exit from the Add Port dialog box.
4Select OK.
5Select Close in Printer Ports dialog box, then select Apply.
6Select OK in Print Server Properties to close the Printers window.
7Choose Finish, and restart your computer when prompted.
If you are updating an existing monitor, the installation program automatically reboots your
system after installation.

Auto Discovery adds all hardware devices found on your network to your port list. On large
networks, this may not be desirable and can be avoided by using the manual method of adding a
Crown port as described on page 6.
