KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 1600 Raster KONICA MINOLTA Windows Driver ReadMe V1.1 ================================================================= I. INTRODUCTION This Readme file contains special information relating to the following items: - Application Notes - Connectivity - Error Messages - PageScope Web Connection - Printer Driver - Client-Server Installation (Point and Print) PLEASE NOTE that some options or features described in this Readme file (such as Network, PageScope Web Connection, Duplex or Tray 2) might not be available for your printer model. Please check your printer documentation to confirm which options and features are available for your model. ================================================================= II. APPLICATION NOTES 1. CorelDRAW--When printing a file to letter-size media, select Fit to Paper in the Output Paper Size section on the Paper tab. If you do not select Fit to Paper, the image will be cut off on one side. 2. DOS--The DOS copy and print commands are not supported. 3. MS Word--Word does not allow users to print a saved document in a different paper size because it passes its default paper size to the printer driver. Take the following steps to print a document in a specified paper size: i. In Word go to File/Page Setup and make sure that the specified paper size is selected under Paper Size. ii. In Word go to File/Print and click the Properties button of the magicolor 1600 Raster. iii. Select the Paper tab. Check "Fit to Paper" and select the specified paper size from the Output Paper Size drop-down list. 4. MS Internet Explorer 5.0--A SPOOL32 crash may be experienced when printing web pages containing java related data. Printing cannot be continued although the document can be saved. You must restart the printer to resume the printing job. Recommend to upgrade IE 5.0 to IE 5.5 or higher to avoid this problem. 5. Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0--Dashed lines may not be imaged when printing pdf files. Recommend to upgrade to Acrobat Reader 5.0 to resolve this problem. 6. Adobe PageMaker 6.5--The color separation (C,M,Y,K) function may not function correctly depending on image data. When the K plane prints in color, please use the "B/W" setting instead of the "Color" setting on the Quality tab. 7. Lotus Approach 9.6.1--When Print Properties is opened, the layout of the driver preferences collapses. 8. Notepad (Vista)--When printing multiple copies in Notepad, please ensure that the copy count is set from Notepad instead of setting it from the Printer Driver. You can set the copy count from Notepad by: - Click on the "File" command from Notepad - Select "Print" - Change the "Number of Copies" option to the desired amount ================================================================= III. CONNECTIVITY 1. Network--If you make any changes in the Network menus, you must restart the printer for the changes to take effect. 2. Windows XP--When setting up the printer on a network, use the Standard TCP/IP port and then select either Generic or Minolta-QMS Printer as the device type. Then use the Microsoft Print Monitor in this environment. 3. Windows 2000--When setting up the printer on a network, use the Standard TCP/IP port and then select either Generic or Minolta Printer as the device type. Then use the Microsoft Print Monitor in this environment. ================================================================= IV. ERROR MESSAGES 1. Duplex Jam--A duplex media jam may occur when printing with a paper size mismatch. This is in combination with AUTOCONTINUE=ON. Replace the tray with the correct paper size specified in the driver. 2. Invalid Printer Name--An error message may be displayed when installing the printer driver. Please remove any preceding and following spaces from the printer name text string to resolve this problem. ================================================================= V. PAGESCOPE WEB CONNECTION 1. URL--When entering a URL in the System/Online Assistance field, type in 'http:// URL'. PageScope Web Connection does not support 'https'. ================================================================= VI. PRINTER DRIVER 1. Collation--In order to collate multiple copies of a duplex print job with Left Binding or Right Binding selected as the Booklet option on the N-up Details button of the Layout tab, select collation in the printer driver only. Do not select collation in the application. This will cause the pages to print out of order. Similar effects will occur when printing with Watermark or with Form Overlays in WORD. Failing to set collation in the printer driver will cause the Watermark to print only on the first page of the first copy. 2. Installation (Windows XP)--Due to a Windows limitation, when a second magicolor 1600 Raster printer driver is installed, the printer name in the Printers folder is identified as (Copy 1) rather than (Copy 2). 3. Installation (Windows XP SP2)--When installing the driver from the Installer CD, you may encounter a "Windows Security Alert" message appearing on your screen. Please select to "Unblock" the Installer program from the WinXP SP2 firewall. 4. Installation--When installing the driver from the Installer CD, it is possible that a message will be displayed indicating that some Java Virtual Machine (JVM) files may get overwritten. Please select "YES" to allow the files to be overwritten. (When selecting "NO", InstallShield Wizard will appear. Click "OK" to stop and cancel the installation automatically). 5. Zoom--The Zoom feature may not function properly for zoom sizes less than 75% or more than 200%. When this occurs, a possible workaround is to change your left and right margin setting value to 0.1. 6. Poster Printing--In some applications, it is possible that the 2X2, 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 options may not function properly. When this occurs, a possible workaround is to change your left and right margin setting value to 0.1. 7. Features (Windows 2000/XP/2003)--It is possible that you may have some driver features unavailable such as Edit Custom Paper Size, Edit Form Overlay, Edit Watermark and Easy Set Save. These features are available when the user is logged in as Administrator. 8. Custom Setting--It is possible that when you delete a watermark custom setting, Easy Set names associated with the watermark may not function properly. Please ensure that after deleting the watermark you also delete the Easy Set name associated with the watermark. Please note that the same applies to all other custom settings such as custom paper sizes and form overlays. 9. Overlays--Overlay files are created as color documents. Therefore, even if you select monochrome printing (B/W on the Quality tab), the overlay prints in color. If you want a monochrome overlay file, you must create it selecting B/W printing and save it as an overlay file (Edit Form Overlay button on the Paper tab). 10. Overlays--Overlay files must be printed at the same resolution at which they were created. In other words, if you create an overlay file at 600 dpi, any documents with which you use this overlay should also be printed at 600 dpi. If you print the overlay at a different resolution, it is automatically resized and, therefore, placed incorrectly on the printed pages. 11. Overlays--Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with the magicolor 1600 Raster driver. If you try to use an overlay file created with another driver, the file may not print. 12. Overlays--Printing a file with an overlay uses twice the virtual memory of regular printing. Therefore, it is recommended that you increase your PC's virtual memory. 13. Mixed Paper Sizes--When printing a document with mixed paper sizes, the job may print with unpredictable results. For example, a conflict will occur if a duplex document were specified such that the odd-numbered page is Letter size (front side) and the even-numbered page (back side) is Legal size paper. Booklet or N-Up applications that employ scaling may experience missing data or page shifting due to different aspect ratios used for different paper sizes. An application may use mixed paper sizes when the following occurs: (a) AUTO CONTINUE is set to ON (b) TRAY CHAINING is set to ON (c) Tray 1 and Tray 2 have different sized paper ...
