This Windows utility provides an efficient method for transporting print jobs directly to a KONICA MINOLTA printer via the TCP/IP protocol.

This utility provides the ability to download fonts, profiles, and overlays to the printer’s hard disk. It also allows you to download fonts to printer memory.

These color profiles provide support for host-based color management systems including Microsoft ICM 2 for Windows, Apple ColorSync, CorelDRAW, Kodak KCMS, Adobe Photoshop 5, and others.

This installer automatically places all needed print-related components, such as a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file, color profiles, screen fonts, and registration information, in the correct locations on your system and allows you to use your printer with Macintosh OS 9, or X (version 10.1 or higher).

Installing Printer Drivers and Utilities, Macintosh Environments

Some Notes to Consider

 In the following sections, we assume that you are installing the software

for the first time.

 The current version of Macintosh OS X has limited support for PPD

(PostScript Printer Description) files. Although KONICA MINOLTA printers can be used with Macintosh OS X, not all advanced printing features are available. Advanced printing features are still available under Macintosh OS 9.

Installing Printer Drivers and Utilities, Windows

You can connect to your printer by

 A crossover Ethernet cable

 Ethernet patch cables and an Ethernet hub

Macintosh—PPDs

KONICA MINOLTA developed a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for the magicolor 7300. This PPD works with the Macintosh Operating System’s PostScript printer driver (LaserWriter) to provide support for the features on the magicolor 7300, such as print resolution and media sizes, and optional features such as duplexing.

Macintosh OS 9—PPDs and Utilities Installation

OS 9 Step 1. Software Installation

a Insert the Software Utilities CD-ROM in your Macintosh’s CD-ROM

drive.

If the CD-ROM window does not appear, double-click the CD-ROM icon on your Macintosh desktop.

b Double-click the Install icon.

c Follow the instructions on the screen to install the magicolor 7300

PPD and utilities.

d After the PPD and utilities installation is complete, choose Quit.

e When the system software installation is complete, remove the

CD-ROM from your CD-ROM drive and store it in a safe place.

OS 9 Step 2. Creating a Desktop Printer

EtherTalk Connection

a You can connect via Ethernet in either of two ways:

 Plug one end of a crossover Ethernet cable into the Macintosh and

the other into the printer’s Ethernet port.

 Use Ethernet patch cables and an Ethernet hub. Plug one end of

each patch cable into the hub, then plug the other end of one into the Macintosh and the other end of the second into the printer’s Ethernet port.

b Open the Chooser and select LaserWriter.

c Choose Create and then Set-Up.

Installing Printer Drivers and Utilities, Macintosh6

LPR Connection

a You can connect via Ethernet in either of two ways:

 Plug one end of a crossover Ethernet cable into the Macintosh and

the other into the printer’s Ethernet port.

 Use Ethernet patch cables and an Ethernet hub. Plug one end of

each patch cable into the hub, then plug the other end of one into the Macintosh and the other end of the second into the printer’s Ethernet port.

b Locate the Desktop Printer Utility.

If you cannot locate it on your Macintosh hard disk, it can be found on your Macintosh’s system CD-ROM.

c Select Printer (LPR), and choose

d Type in the IP address and use the same address for the Queue

name. Click

e Choose Create.

f Name the printer with the IP address or a descriptive name.

OK.

NetWare and NDPS

For NetWare 5, NetWare 6, and NDPS installation, refer to the magicolor 7300 Reference Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM. Section 2 of the Reference Guide, “Installing Printer Software, Drivers, & PPDs,” includes basic information about these interfaces as well as instruction for installation.

 For information about connecting using earlier versions of NetWare,

check the Answer Base at printer.konicaminolta.net/support

Linux

For Linux PPD and PDQ installation, refer to the magicolor 7300 Reference Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM. Section 2 of the Reference Guide,

“Installing Printer Software, Drivers, & PPDs,” includes basic information about PDQ, XPDQ, CUPS, and XPP connections and instructions for installing them.

Media Specifications12

What amount of media can I use?

Attention

Do not allow media to go above the fill limit mark inside the tray or the media may not be fed correctly.

What Is the guaranteed imageable (printable) area?

Each media size has a specific imageable area, the maximum area on which the printer can print clearly and without distortion.

This area is subject to both hardware limits (the physical media size and the margins required by the printer) and software constraints (the amount of memory available for the full-page frame buffer). The guaranteed imageable (printable) area for all media sizes is the page size minus 0.197 inch (5 mm) from all edges of the media, except for media (such as custom media) with a width of 12.25 inch (311 mm), which is 0.275 inch (7 mm).

Envelopes also have a nonguaranteed flap area that varies with envelope type.

How do I set page margins?

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom-size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.

How can I change the image alignment?

If, for any reason, you need to change the image alignment, you can do so in two different ways.

 Adjust the margins or page size through your application (recommended

method).

 Use the printer’s control panel (Quality/Tray Alignment menu).

Media Specifications14

Media Types

General Considerations about Media

For best results, use media that is

 Suitable for plain-paper laser printers, such as standard or recycled office

paper

 Stored on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper

Before purchasing a large quantity or special media, perform a trial print with the same media and check the print quality.

Attention

Use only KONICA MINOLTA-approved media. Using unsupported media such as inkjet paper will result in damaging the printer and in voiding your warranty.

Check printer.konicaminolta.net/support currently approved media. To order approved transparency media, go to www.q-shop.com.
