Description
Unable to print. The IP controller appears to lock up.
Solution
CAUSE: An irregularity with system software which causes the IP601M to reboot with specific PCL* files.
SOLUTION: Update the IP601M system software. There are currently patches that will update system software to minimum version 5.5.4f. These patches
are available on the FTP site .
Notes:
1. This problem may only occur when the IP601M is first powered up and has come to ready and prior to any other printing/test prints are performed.
2. As an interim solution, print out the IP601M configuration page after the IP601M has come to ready. This may allow the job to print without a problem.
3. System software must be at version 5.5.4 prior to installing the patches.
4. It is highly recommended that the IP is rebooted and an IP configuration page is printed after each system software patch is installed.
5. It is highly recommended that the main body firmware is updated to the latest firmware listed on the [[Konica FTP site| URL
ftp://kbtdigital:kx15@ftp.konicabt.com]].
Description
The IP will not completely boot up with the KN302A card installed.
Solution
CAUSE: The KN card is installed in an incorrect PCI slot.
SOLUTION: Confirm that the IP will boot normally without the KN card installed. If the IP boots properly without the KN card installed, install the KN card in
third PCI slot from the top.

SOLUTION: Setting the TrueType option within the print driver to either Bitmap or Raster resolves the issue with the text printing a font which resembles the
italic format. The recommended setting to print TrueType fonts is Bitmap:
Note: TrueType options:
This setting controls the way TrueType fonts are stored and printed on the printer. In most cases this setting can be left on Bitmap. This will cause the printer
driver to select the best data format to use for TrueType fonts, and will usually result in the highest quality output and fastest printing speed.
Description
Documents will not staple or stitch (Fold, Stitch) when printed from PageMaker* 6.5 or 7.0.
Solution
CAUSE: Incorrect setting for Collate in the Print drivers Print features.
SOLUTION: In the print drivers Print features, set the Collate option to SORT.
This setting is required anytime a selected Finishing option requires the document to be stapled (i.e., STAPLE or FOLD, STITCH, etc.).
Notes:
1. This solution only applies when printing with a Konica PostScript* driver and utilizing a printer specific PPD file. Adobe* PageMaker incorporates its own
embedded PostScript driver which can perform all of the necessary print rendering. In this print process, all that is needed from the Konica driver is the PPD
file. The PPD file setups the printer specifics finishing features. The Konica PostScript driver simply provides the port to print through.
2. This solution does not apply when printing via the Konica PCL* driver, stapling will function normally. The PCL driver does not use a PPD file. Therefore,
PageMaker will utilize the PCL driver for print rendering and as a port to print through.
3. This solution does not apply when printing via the Konica Visual PostScript driver ONLY if the drivers PostScript option {Use PostScript Pass-through} is
unchecked (deselected) within the print drivers Properties. Stapling will function normally. The {Use PostScript Pass-through} setting is made to the driver's
properties outside of the application. With this option unchecked, PageMaker will fully utilize the Konica Visual PostScript driver for both rendering and a port
to print through. When the option is checked, the Konica Visual PostScript driver is not utilized for print rendering but only as a port to print through. The
Konica Visual PostScript driver does not have its own PPD file, therefore, use the Konica Adobe PostScript driver's PPD file to enable finishing options. This
setup is no different than printing through the Konica Adobe PostScript driver.

Why does pagination change when printing any document using the Konica Minolta print driver?
Solution
Explaining pagination differences between different manufacturers print drivers:
This situation is not uncommon in the printing world. Commonly, documents will be formatted differently when printed to printers made by different
manufacturers. There are many reasons for this. Due to physical differences between printers, as well as copyright laws, different manufacturers will use
different programs for their drivers. It is the driver that does the majority of the formatting for the image to be placed on the page. Different drivers will use
different algorithms when imaging spacing and font metrics. Often times, this results in a slightly different look or format for a document when printed to two
different printers.
There are also potential differences within the image areas of the main bodies of the two printers. The print controller takes the image area into account when
laying out the image on the paper. Different image areas can determine different layouts. These factors can result in lines of text being moved on the paper.
If lines are moved enough, or lie close enough to the threshold of the image area, text and page breaks that are rendered in a certain position on one printer
may be rendered in a different position on another.
This scenario will occur across the board for printer manufacturers. A Lexmark* is different from an Epson* which is different than an HP*, etc. Obviously, the
output from certain printers will match up closer to some printers than others. The effect of this behavior can be reduced somewhat by printing with a
common standard PDL such as PostScript*. Alternatively, the customer can print with a common driver to both printers. In other words, one can print to the
HP using the Konica driver or vice versa. In this way, at least the driver-generated output would be the same going to both machines. While the output still
may not be exactly the same, the effect of printing to two different printers can be lessened. There may even be different output within the same printer
manufacturer (i.e., Konica IP302 print controller is good, but the IP304 print controller is not; Lexmark Optra K1220 is good, but the Optra T614 is not).
The analogy that is often used when explaining this to customers involves motor vehicles. A Ford and Dodge are essentially the same in terms of the fact that
they are cars that serve as a means of transportation, just as two printers are output devices. However, while the end result of driving two different cars is
essentially the same, there may be certain differences with regard to cornering and acceleration that give each car a distinct feel. This is essentially what is
happening between the two printers.
It is understandable that the customer does not want to convert thousands of existing documents, but due to the vast number of different printers currently
available on the market today, it is not possible to exactly emulate all printer manufacturers' algorithms. The only other option is to pick one printer model,
format these documents that need a consistent look for that printer, and use only that particular printer to print these documents. If there are any further
questions, please feel free to contact the National Systems Solutions Group at 1-800-825-5664.

What is the PCL* command for outputting 66 lines of text per page?
Solution
For developers or users that would like to create their own drivers or manually insert printer commands into a control string, the command for outputing 66
lines of text per page is &l#C. Substitute the value derived from the following formula for the # in the command.
Number of inches on the page minus a half-inch margin divided by the desired number of lines per page times 48.
For example, to achieve 66 lines of text per page on an 8.5x11 portrait-orientated sheet of paper, calculate 10 divided by 66 times 48. So the code that would
be input would be &l7.27C. Remember to take a half-inch margin at both the top and bottom of the page.

Unable to have output from AS/400* pick Tray 4 as default. The paper always pulls from Tray 1. A previous 7050/IP302 configuration had the ability to set
the default tray and ignore the tray calls in the print job.
Solution
CAUSE: If the print stream is PCL* with HP* tray calls, the newer controllers (IP304, IP421, IP422, IP431, IP601, IP602, IP511) will require the installation an
i-Data* EasyCom Express print server to change the tray calls. The EasyCom Express print server (Item #950209) can be programmed with search and
replace; and pre- and post-string print stream entires.
SOLUTION: In this example, if the output from the AS/400 contains an HP print driver call for Tray 1 (&l1H), this can be substituted with an tray call to select
the default tray set on the machine (&l7H). To achieve this, perform the following:
1. Using Print Guide, browse to the EasyCom.
2. Double-click the port used to accept input from the AS/400.
3. Select strings and enter:
Search for: &l1H and replace with: &l7H
This will allow the machines default tray to be selected when print jobs containing (&l1H {HP Tray 1 call}) are sent.

How to uncompress files downloaded from the [[Konica FTP site| URL ftp://kbtdigital:kx15@ftp.konicabt.com]] or the [[Konica website| URL
www.konicabt.com]].
Solution
Most of the files are compressed on the FTP site to save time when downloading. Always copy the file to an empty directory on a computer hard drive to save
online time when downloading. It is not a good habit to copy directly to a disk in the floppy drive. Some files are too big and will fill the disk; or they are
compressed, and when uncompressed, will fill the disk.
To use a downloaded file, perform the following:
1. Copy it to an empty directory on a hard drive.
2. Uncompress the file to the desired media (i.e., floppy disk).
3. Install it.
The system software is an executable. Place an empty disk in the floppy drive and double-click the executable. In the window that opens, type 'a' for the
A-drive. Press any key to continue, the disk image will be copied onto the diskette. If only one copy is needed, press the escape key, then close the window.
Repeat the procedure for any remaining disks. Be sure to number the disks accordingly (i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc). These disks are now ready to be inserted into the
print controller to upgrade the system software.
Print drivers can be uncompressed to a floppy, allowing the owner of the diskette(s) to load the driver(s) on different workstations. Some files when opened,
will display a Read Me. Follow the instructions to prevent any problems with installation.

With CPU (p/n 13SA99010)
Description
Paper tray selections that are made using a Konica print driver are not being properly executed by the IP601M printing system.
Solution
CAUSE: The IP601M is powered ON separately from the main body of the printer. This would only happen if the IP601M is not connected into the proper
power outlet in back on the printer. Connecting the IP601M to power independently from the printer is NOT supported by Konica Business Technologies.
Connecting the IP601M to power in this manner disrupts the initialization of the controller which in turn impedes the controller from operating and acting upon
certain commands properly.
SOLUTION: Connect the IP601M to power in the manner outlined within the setup instructions that accompany the device.

Problem printing IPDS from an AS/400* using the NetFusion Tx card with the IPDS upgrade installed.
Solution
CAUSE: No memory module is installed for the IPDS upgrade.
Description
The status of spool file on AS/400* goes from WTR to HLD without the job printing.
Solution
CAUSE: The i-data* box does not support the page size of the spool file.
SOLUTION: Follow the rules of COR to correct the page size and resubmit the job with either an override printer file or a new printer file.
Description
What are the rules of COR?
Solution
COR is an IBM* acronym for Computer Output Reduction. COR formatting can be predicted using the following rules:
1. Any report that contains text over 85 columns across the page will be rotated to landscape and reduced down to fit on the page for which it is being
formatted (i.e., letter, legal, A4).
2. When COR activates, the following pitch sizes are changed to reflect the reduction:
Actual = COR equivalent
10 CPI = 13 CPI
12 CPI = 15 CPI
15 CPI = 20 CPI
17 CPI = 27 CPI
3. To determine whether a report will fit on letter size paper use the following formula:
Report size = Number of columns of text across the page/COR equivalent
(Example 1) A spool file with the CPI attribute of 10 with a width of 132 characters.
The report will be rotated and reduced because the number of characters across the page is more than 85. The report size will be approximately 10" across
(132 / 13 = 10.15). The report will fit on an 11" size paper in landscape mode.
(Example 2) A spool file with the CPI attribute of 10 with a width of 80 characters.
The report will be portrait because the columns of text does not extend past 85 characters. The report size will be 8" across the page (80 / 10 = 8.0). The
report will fit on an 8.5" size paper in portrait mode.
4. COR is not active for reports under 85 characters wide therefore the actual CPI is used in the formula instead of its COR equivalent.
Note: If the Page Rotation attribute is not set to *AUTO or *COR, then actual pitch is used to determine font size even if the page width is more than 85
characters.

What cable is needed to configure the NetFusion Tx card?
Solution
The mini-Centronics* cable (PCUA 950205) referenced in the Operator and Installation Guide is a Parallel Port adapter cable. This is the only cable that will
work with the NetFusion Tx card. A standard mini-Centronics cable will not properly connect to the NetFusion Tx card.

How to submit a file for a current installation or pre-sales printer test in a Microsoft* Windows or Macintosh* environment.
Solution
To submit a file for a current installation or pre-sales printer test in a Windows or Macintosh environment, perform the following:
1. Provide the product's current print driver to the customer.
2. Have the customer configure the job as they would like it printed and print the job to a file. This will eliminate the need for NSSG to have a copy of the
specific application and will save time trying to determine how the document is supposed to be formatted for printing.
Note: Most applications have a 'print to file' option.
3. Have a SRF (Service Request Form) filled out by contacting the NSSG Hotline. In NSSG’s continuing review of support processes, the method of
requesting advanced levels of support have been redefined. NSSG no longer requires that a SRF form be filled out by the technician and faxed. Instead, to
streamline the process and reduce the process time, NSSG will now take all the information live on the phone at the Contact Center. Contact Center
Engineers are responsible for providing troubleshooting support. Most calls are resolved with only one call, but in the event that several calls have been
made and the problem remains open, the Engineer will start the on-site support process by assisting the caller with the Support Request Form (SRF). SRFs
are also used for Complex Installation Support, Application Support, Enhanced Application Support, Enterprise Print Consulting and Workshops.
The Contact Center number is 800-825-5664. Use the assigned NSSG User ID for access and the Support Engineer will be happy to assist complete the

Description
How to insert pre- and post-string characters when printing using i-data* print servers (i.e., NetFusion*, EasyCom*, PlusCom*, LinkCom*) in order to substitute
print stream parameters to correct or modify PCL* print jobs.
Solution
With an i-data print server installed, the Print Guide* Utility can be used to define pre- and post-strings.
A pre-string is a string of characters sent to the printer before each print job; a post-string is sent to the printer after each print job. The printer can also
replace strings; that is, automatically substitute one string for another.
Use this feature if needing to customize the printer setup for particular print jobs. Customized setups could include, for example, font selection, printer reset,
formfeed, bannerpage, or load a form.
To customize printer setup, perform the following:
1. Display the PrintServer Advanced Configuration web page.
2. Click Logical Printers.
3. Click on the logical printer in the list whose setup is to be changed. The Configure Logical Printer web page is displayed.
4. Edit the pre-, post-, and replace strings in the adjacent text fields.
Note: The replace string syntax is [string1], [substitution1]; [stringN], [substitutionN]
5. Click Save.
To define/edit string settings directly, click Text and type in the string text in the adjacent field. Right click and a menu containing the most common special
characters appears. When one of these special characters is selected, the code for the character is inserted into the text (at the cursor location).
To use pre- or post-string settings defined in a file, click Read from file and type in the path specifying the file location in the PrintServer. Download the file to
the PrintServer file system using FTP. It is recommended to put the file in the PrintServer '/config' directory.
Pre-, post- and replace string definitions cannot use more than 250 characters each. The number used in each case is shown below the text field.
Read from file on replace strings is only available for PrintServers using firmware number S80xxx.550 or higher. On earlier versions of PrintServers, Replace
String Settings can only be defined by directly typing them in.
Notes:
a. Restart the PrintServer before any changes made in pre-, post- and replace string settings are applied to print jobs
b. Double-quote (") must be written as hex code (0x22). Otherwise the string will be truncated after the first double-quote.
Example: "Hello" is written as 0x22Hello0x22.
PrintGuide automatically changes double-quotes to hex values as you type.
EXAMPLES
1. This simple example writes the text "This text will be sent before" before the job, and "This text will be sent after" after the job:
Pre string: This text will be sent before
Post string: This text will be sent after
2. This example is used to print Unix jobs on a PCL compatible printer. It inserts a carriage return for every linefeed , before each job, and a formfeed after
each job:
Pre string: 0x1b&k2G
Post string: 0x0c
4. This example writes a bannerpage before the job, and adds a formfeed at the end:
Pre string: * * * * * * Start of new print job * * * * * 0x0c

Unable to install PCL* or PostScript* print drivers into NDPS* database using BROKER (RMS) services. Error displayed is 0x0500000F ZLIB.DLL from a
Microsoft* Windows NT4.0/2000 workstation running Novell* Client 4.83 with SP1 installed.
Solution
CAUSE: ZLIB.DLL version 1.1.4 located in winnt\system32 directory on the client will not allow the drivers to be installed correctly.
SOLUTION: Rename the ZLIB.DLL version 1.1.4 on the workstation then copy ZLIB.DLL version 1.1.3 (located on Novell's website ) on the client in the
winnt\system32 directory.
CAUTION: There is a security vulnerability in zlib.dll version 1.1.3 that can be exploited by providing a specially crafted invalid compressed data stream to
zlib's decompression routines that results in zlib attempting to free the same memory twice. On many systems, freeing the same memory twice will crash the
application. Such "double free" vulnerabilities can be used in denial-of-service attacks, and it is remotely possible that the vulnerability could be exploited in
some application to execute arbitrary code with that application's permissions. There have been no reports of any exploitations of this problem, but the
vulnerability exists nevertheless.

LPR printing is slow or hangs with Microsoft* Windows NT 4.0. Delays or failures may result when you print to a Windows NT 4.0 print server connected
through line printer remote (LPR) to a shared printer using the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service.
CAUTION: This solution contains information about editing the registry. Before editing the registry, understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For
information about how to do this, view the [["Restoring the Registry"| URL http://techweb.konicabt.com/tpm/media/restore_registry.pdf]] Help topic in
Regedit.exe or the [["Restoring a Registry Key"| URL http://techweb.konicabt.com/tpm/media/restore_regkey.pdf]] Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
Solution
CAUSE: With Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 and later, the default TCP Ports for LPR are 721-731. The symptom only occurs if 11 or more jobs are
simultaneously spooled in an NT spooler. Once the 11th job reaches the spooler, all jobs will pause for approximately 3 minutes between jobs. Changes can
be made so that ports greater than 1,023 can be used to prevent LPR from running out of available ports or conflicting with reserved ports. There is a registry
Copyright 2006, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. October 2006
51
IP-601M
entries that allow line printer remote (LPR) to use any available port higher than 1,023. With this entry, LPR is no longer restricted to only using the 11 TCP
Ports (721 through 731) and will not conflict with reserved ports, even on very busy print servers.
SOLUTION: In Service Pack 3 (or later), a new registry entry is automatically generated when a new LPR port is created. This setting is defined on a per
printer port basis and defaults to 0, which is RFC compliant. To enable individual IP address ports to use TCP ports 1024 and higher, apply Service Pack 3
(or later) and then perform the following steps:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\LPDSVC\lpr
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require reinstallaton of the operating system. Konica or Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Notes:
a. For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Change Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Information" Help topics in Regedt32.exe.
b. Back up the registry before editing it and update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).
2. The installed LPR ports will be displayed on the right of the window . On the far right there will be a data value of (0) or (1) in parenthesis. The data value
of (0) indicates that this LPR port uses ports 721-731, which is the default. The data value of (1) indicates that this LPR port uses any port greater than ( )
1024.
3. To change a LPR port to use a port greater than 1024, perform the following:
a. Double-click the entry to view the Edit DWORD Value window.
b.. Change the value data from 0 to 1, and then click OK.
c. Repeat steps a and b as required to change other LPR ports.
d. Close the Registry Editor window.
e. Restart the Spooler Service for the changes to take affect. Type the following command at a command prompt:
net stop spooler
f. To restart the Spooler service, type the following command at a command prompt:
net start spooler

Adobe* PageMaker* not printing correctly.
Solution
CAUSE: If the PostScript* driver is loaded under Microsoft* Windows, PageMaker will not print correctly if the PPD (PostScript Printer Description) is not
installed correctly within PageMaker. Although PageMaker is a Windows (and Macintosh*) program, it does not use a PostScript Windows driver in the typical
manner. The PPD must be installed manually on a Windows PC, much the same as it is loaded manually into the System\Extensions\Printer Descriptions
folder on a Macintosh.
SOLUTION: With PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5, the PPD file provided on the Konica disk must be manually copied from the disk (using Explorer, File manager,
etc.) to the Pm6\Rsrc\Usenglsh\Ppd4 directory. Before copying the file, make sure that PageMaker is not open. For a network installation, the path is
different. The program looks for the PPD in Pm6\Pm6user\Ppd4.
Without proper installation, PageMaker may use some other PPD or a generic default, called General. After copying the PPD to the PPD4 directory, start
PageMaker. The (Driver Name) PPD should show up in the PPD selection of the print dialog box. A PCL* Windows printer driver will have its capabilities
under a Setup button. Because the PostScript PPD is being installed, the printer's special capabilities are found by clicking on the Features button.

Is UNIX* printing supported?
Solution
The self-contained NIC print server (or KN3xx) will handle print jobs sent with the "lp" command from most UNIX environments. However, most "lp" options
(designated with the '-o') are not supported by this printer. This printing solution allows for output of ASCII text (no special features i.e., duplex, tray calls, and
finishing features) only.
If the user is running an application on their UNIX server that emulates PCL* driver output from a non-Konica driver (i.e. HP3 driver output). Special features
will not be available without the use of a third-party print server such as the i-data* EasyCom* which can be programmed to search for and replace
non-Konica driver PCL with the correct Konica PCL output.
Konica also offers a PostScript* print utility called KP for most UNIX environments that supports some of the "lp" options. This utility allows printing with
special features but requires the IP unit to be equipped with the PostScript upgrade. This utility may or may not be compatible with the customers UNIX
application. It is recommended to download and install the utility on the UNIX server and test to determine if the customer's application can access the utility
prior to recommending this as a printing solution.
Notes:

Printing preferences are not available using the Konica Visual PostScript* driver when printing from PageMaker* 6.5 or 7.0.
Solution
CAUSE: [Use PostScript Pass-through] selection in the PostScript options is checked.
SOLUTION: Uncheck within the print driver properties the [Use PostScript Pass-through] option.
Notes:
1. When printing with a Konica PostScript driver and utilizing a printer specific PPD file. Adobe* PageMaker incorporates its own embedded PostScript driver
which can perform all of the necessary print rendering. In this print process, all that is needed from the Konica driver is the PPD file. The PPD file sets up the
printer specifics finishing features. The Konica PostScript driver simply provides the port to print through.
2. When printing via the Konica PCL* driver, all printing features will function normally. The PCL driver does not use a PPD file. Therefore, PageMaker will
utilize the PCL driver for print rendering and as a port to print through.

3. Print via the Konica Visual PostScript driver ONLY if the driver's PostScript option [Use PostScript Pass-through] is unchecked (deselected) within the print
drivers Properties. Stapling will function normally. The [Use PostScript Pass-through] setting is made to the driver's properties outside of the application.
With this option unchecked, PageMaker will fully utilize the Konica Visual PostScript driver for both rendering and a port to print through. When the option is
checked, the Konica Visual PostScript driver is not utilized for print rendering but only as a port to print through. The Konica Visual PostScript driver does not
have its own PPD file; therefore, use the Konica Adobe PostScript driver's PPD file to enable finishing options. This setup is no different than printing through
the Konica Adobe* PostScript driver.

Light images (black lines appear gray when compared to a different manufacturer's printer) when printing PDF documents from Adobe* Acrobat* 5.x or 6.x
using the latest Konica Minolta (visual) PostScript* driver.
Solution
CAUSE: This issue is related to PostScript code already contained in the document.
SOLUTION: When printing from graphic applications such as Adobe Acrobat, using the Konica Minolta (visual) PostScript driver, it is recommended to select
(check) the Use PostScript Pass-Through option under the driver's PostScript options when printing PDFs. This reduces the print spool size and allows for
faster and more accurate printing as pre-existing PostScript code in the document is not acted upon by the print driver.
Although, if any of the Konica Minolta (visual) PostScript printer driver output options such as layout, booklet, fold & stitch, insertion etc. are desired, then
deselect (uncheck) the Use PostScript Pass-Through to allow these option to function when printing the PDF document.
Description
Is ECM/password printing an available option with Macintosh*?
Solution
ECM/password printing is not available for use with Macintosh.
Description
Slower than expected print speed.
Solution
CAUSE: A printer's rated speed refers to the rate at which the unit can move paper through the paper path. Very often, this rated speed will not coincide
with the actual throughput observed during the printing of documents. Many factors such as page description language, graphic content and intensity, the
type of print server card being used, and the presence of forms overlay along with the numerous possible settings that can exist for each element within the
printing system, can all affect the throughput of the printer on a job-to-job basis. Additionally, workstation and network bottlenecks can also adversely affect
the overall performance of the printer.
SOLUTION: Currently there is no industry-wide standard for measuring and rating the speed of network printers on the market. The printer's rated speed
refers solely to the printer's ability to run paper through the paper path under optimal conditions. This figure is not in any way meant to imply that this will be
the print speed for all documents that are sent to the printing system.

How to print a captured file directly to the printer from a Microsoft* Windows 2000 or XP workstation.
Solution
Copying captured files (.txt, .prn or .cap file containing PCL*, PJL, PostScript* or ASCII) directly to the NIC card of the printer over a network connection can
be used to confirm that a file capture is valid and contains printable data. Two methods outlined below:
1. From a DOS prompt c:\ lpr -S (ip address) -P port1 (file name with complete path [i.e. c:\myfiles\capture1.txt])
Another method is to copy the file to a shared printer name on the same workstation:
2. From a DOS prompt c:\ copy/b (file name with complete path [i.e. c:\myfiles\capture1.txt]) (UNC path to printer share name) \\pw-smith\IP601M-front
Note: It is very important that the syntax above is correct or the file will not be copied to the printer.

Will Microsoft* Windows XP Service Pack 2 create printing problems?
Solution
Service Pack 2 (SP2) is, in many ways, a new XP, and there is no way to test every possible combination of hardware and software on which it might be
installed. Practice due diligence and evaluate the specific XP deployment before installing XP SP2.
There are several pre-installation steps that should be considered:
1. Understand the benefits of installing the service pack:
a. Malware attachment warnings
b. Malware download warnings
c. Pop-up blocker
d. Firewall turned on by default
e. Windows Security Center GUI that lets end users see and manage security settings (this can be blocked in a managed environment)
f. Enhancements to auto updates, including improvements for dial-up users
g. Better management of browser add-ons and e-mail addresses
h. A new wireless deployment wizard useful for small businesses
2. Grab a copy of the recovery document from http://snipurl.com/8gju . This document discusses how to recover from a problem XP SP2 installation. Please
take the precaution of printing out the recovery instructions. Hopefully, they will never have to be used.. At any rate, be prepared when priorities change and
XP SP2 must be installed immediately. When rushed, looking for recovery information before installing may end up being an after-thought.
Windows XP SP2 is also an issue for IT departments using SUS for updates, since it may need to be blocked from some SUS client computers and approved
for others. Remember that the service pack will have to be approved in the SUS server database before clients can receive it, giving an extra layer of

IP-601M
protection to SUS shops.
If any of these scenarios applies, here are some resources. Start with the free Microsoft tool at http://snipurl.com/8gjw . It includes an executable, a script,
ADM template to use with Group Policy, and sample E-mail text to be used to inform users on how to block and unblock delivery of XP SP2.
Note: Refer to the following linlks for more information about blocking:
http://snipurl.com/8gjx
http://snipurl.com/8gjz
http://snipurl.com/8ei8
For those who like to do things the hard way, the Registry can be edited to block XP SP2 delivery. Go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate and add the new value DoNotAllowXPSP2. Set the value to 1. This will
block delivery of XP SP2 via SUS or Automatic Updates for up to 120 days. Removing the value will allow delivery of XP SP2, as will the passage of time.
This isn't a permanent solution; it just affords a little more breathing room.
And finally, do not believe everything read or heard. Contrary to some rumors, XP SP2 does not break things; it fixes things. Sometimes closing holes means
good software will need to be revised or reonfigured.
Note: Most of the Microsoft URLs referenced above are very long; the "snipurl" versions do not break, and will not expire.
CAUTION: Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage the system. Before making changes to the registry, back up any valued data on the
computer.

Scantrip Admin utility information.
Solution
Scantrip Admin is an enterprise-level administration tool for Konica's Scan-to-Disk feature. Groups of images from multiple scanner/print engines can be
retrieved and deleted with Scantrip Admin. The Scan-to-Disk activity can be checked and the information saved to file for audit purposes. Scantrip Admin
can even be used to perform a back up of the Scan-to-Disk file system.
Konica's Scan-to-Disk technology allows scanning of documents from the print engine's platen glass or the document feeder directly to file where it is stored in
a mailbox on the print engine's internal hard disk. For details on Konica's Scan-to-Disk technology, please refer to the Konica print engine's documentation.
Scantrip Admin functions as a general user tool as well as an administration tool. It allows retrieval and deletion of image files (created with the print engine's
Scan-to-Disk feature) from a personal mailbox. These user-level operations can be performed manually or automatically (with the Auto-Polling feature).
Note: Scanning utilities (Scantrip and Scantrip Admin) are now posted on the [[Konica SEC website| URL http://www.sec.konicabt.com/main.html]].

Availability of DOS print drivers for the IP601M.
Solution
Konica Minolta printers using the IP controllers are designed for Microsoft* Windows-based applications. DOS applications cannot take advantage of the
advanced features of the Konica Minolta printer. Some DOS applications do not have the ability to select a relatively compatible HP* printer. The KNAS
response clearly states that DOS applications are not supported by the printer in question. Likewise, support via application testing is not available for
DOS-based applications. For non-core platform applications, DOS, Vertical, HOST, etc.., enhanced application support will be made available at the cost of
$105.00 per hour. An estimate would be provided as to the time involved for testing and feedback on the results.
DOS applications are not technically supported since each DOS application carries its own set of printer drivers instead of a single driver that the Windows
operating systems use. Therefore, printing in DOS is a case-by-case basis. However, some printing functionality can be obtained using the following
recommendations:
1. The application has a driver for a nearly compatible printer such as the HP 5SiMX.
2. The user does not select any special function for the HP printer.
3. The user does not expect to use special modes such as staple, booklet, letterhead, etc.
For developers or users that would like to create their own drivers or manually insert printer commands, see the Konica Printer Commands hyperlink for
common PCL* and PJL codes and the Top Ten Most Commonly Requested PCL Commands list.

Description
Cannot print or print preview a web page after installing Microsoft* Windows XP SP2.
Solution
CAUSE: The web page includes an ActiveX object. For security reasons the printing function is blocked.
SOLUTION: The only way for an end-user to print the page is to turn off a Windows registry setting called "local machine zone lockdown". Microsoft advises
against this, as it lowers security.
WARNING: In Windows, system configuration information is centrally located in the registry. While this simplifies the administration of a computer or
network, one incorrect edit to the registry can disable the operating system. The following list provides some best practices for using the registry and Registry
Editor safely:
1. Before making changes to the registry, make a backup copy.
2. Back up the registry by using a program such as Backup. After making changes to the registry, create an Automated System Recovery (ASR) disk. For
troubleshooting purposes, keep a list of the changes you make to the registry. For more information, see System State data.
3. Do not replace the Windows registry with the registry of another version of the Windows or Windows NT operating systems.
4. Use reliable tools and programs other than Registry Editor to edit the registry.
5. Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage the system. Use tools and programs that provide safer methods for editing the registry.
6. Never leave Registry Editor running unattended.

Following a Novell* NDPS or iPrint installation, the Windows* print driver is configured with default settings ONLY on the client workstation.
Solution
CAUSE: Novell NDPS or iPrint drivers are migrated from the Novell server to clients in a non-configured format. This is because the driver is not actually
installed on the Novell server. In the Novell environment, the server simply holds, and then pushes the non-configured driver files to the client. In a Windows

IP-601M
server environment, the Windows driver is installed on the server and can be configured prior to roll out to the clients.
SOLUTION: It is possible to roll-out configured drivers from in a Novell environment. Novell's ZenWorks* allows the Novell administrator to create a snapshot
of a client workstation before and after the driver is installed and configured. This snapshot can then be migrated to the user's workstations resulting in a
configured driver installation.
Using ZenWorks to migrate a configured driver will vary based on Netware version, ZenWorks version, NDPS version and Windows client version. Therefore
step by step instructions to perform this operation are not available. The Novell administrator at the location would be responsible for implementing this
procedure.
[[Third party print driver configuration applications| URL http://www.printerpropertiespro.com]] for Novell are also available. Please consult the vendor(s) for

Is SCS/IPDS* printing available for the S/390* or AS/400*?
Solution
IBM* SCS/IPDS printing is supported on this model with the i-Data* Linkcom III* print server. The Linkcom III print server can convert SCS/IPDS print streams
to PCL* which the controller can interpret.
Note: Prior to placing a printer in the customers environment a digital needs analysis (DNA) must be submitted to NSSG including complete details regarding
the host print stream at the location.
To support printing from an IBM mainframe S/390 or AS/400 using Ethernet protocol and SCS/IPDS Print Data Streams with an internal IP controller will
require a Linkcom III 10/100 Ethernet model print server with SCS/IPDS support. The choices listed below are dependent upon the printer print speed.
IMPORTANT: The Linkcom III must have minimum firmware version 556.380 or it will not operate correctly.
LinkCom III 10/100 (no SCS or IPDS) - support Multi-Port/External Ethernet Interface for MFP's up to 55PPM (7640001483)

Images opened in File Magic* (by Fortis*) print out as a negative via the PCL driver. Whites are black and vice-versa.
Solution
CAUSE: This application uses the Windows Image Viewer* to view documents. This is a known issue with Windows Image Viewer and the Konica PCL*
driver.
SOLUTION: As a workaround, select the negative check box in the graphics tab of the PCL driver. It may be necessary to create another driver and set
negative as the default in that driver. The user should then select this driver when printing from this application.
Note: This issue does not occur when printing from the Adobe* PostScript* or Visual PostScript driver for this controller.

Mail Merge staples all pages together, but end user would like to separate mail merge into separate jobs based by name or address.
Solution
Download and import [[word_mail_merge_printing|URL http://techweb.konicabt.com/tpm/media/word_mail_merge_printing.pdf]] into normal.dot. Set up the
driver you want to use as the default and then set the finishing features desired in Printing Preferences. Run normal.dot under macros, you should be
presented with a question of how many sections are in the merge (i.e., how many pages before the next name or address in the merge).
