network print server. The print server provides printing services for Windows®2000/XP/XP Professional x64
Edition, Windows Vista®, Windows®7, Windows Server®2003/2008, Windows Server®2003 x64 Edition
supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater supporting TCP/IP. The following chart
shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.

Network features 1
Your KONICA MINOLTA machine has the following basic network functions.
Network printing 1
The print server provides printing services for Windows®2000/XP/XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows
Vista®, Windows®7 and Windows Server®2003/2008 supporting TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh
supporting TCP/IP (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater).
Management utilities 1
BRAdmin Light 1
BRAdmin Light is a utility for initial setup of KONICA MINOLTA network connected devices. This utility can
search for KONICA MINOLTA products on your network, view the status and configure basic network
settings, such as IP address. The BRAdmin Light utility is available for Windows®2000/XP, Windows Vista®
and Windows Server®2003/2008 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 (or greater) computers. For installing BRAdmin Light
on Windows®, please see the Quick Guide we provided with the machine. For Macintosh users, BRAdmin
Light will be installed automatically when you install the printer driver. If you have already installed the printer
driver, you don’t have to install it again.
Web Based Management (web browser) 1
Web Based Management (web browser) is a utility for managing network connected KONICA MINOLTA
devices, using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). This utility can view the status of KONICA MINOLTA
products on your network and configure the machine or network settings using a standard web browser that
is installed on your computer.
For more information, see Chapter 4: Web Based Management.
For increased security Web Based Management also support HTTPS. For more information see Managing
your network printer securely on page 34.

Types of network connections 1
Network connection example 1
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no
central server controlling file access or printer sharing.
1) Router
2) Network printer (your machine)
In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier
to configure than the Network Shared printing method. See Network Shared printing on page 4.
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
The KONICA MINOLTA machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the KONICA
MINOLTA machine.

Network Shared printing 1
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type
of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs.
1) Client computer
2) Also known as “Server” or “Print server”
3) TCP/IP, USB or parallel
4) Printer (your machine)
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
The “Server” or the “Print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
The KONICA MINOLTA machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the
machine is connected via the USB or the parallel interface at the server.
