Introduction4—Chapter 1.1
Introduction
This chapter guides you through the installation of your printer in Windows
environments. The two most common ways to connect your printer to a PC
are using either a local connection (parallel or USB interface) or using a
network connection (TCP/IP).
Local Connections
A local connection is accomplished by connecting the workstation and the
printer directly by means of a parallel or USB interface. These interfaces sup-
port only a one-to-one connection, which means that the workstation exclu-
sively ‘owns’the connection to the printer.
Some network environ-
ments allow the access
of a printer locally
attached to one of the
workstations. Although
all users attached to the
network may use the
printer, the (print) data
flow to that particular
workstation may affect its
normal use. In most of
these cases, this work-
station is exclusively
needed as a print server
and cannot be used as a
normal workstation anymore.

Making the Parallel Connection
Connecting your printer locally to your PC using a parallel connection
requires two steps.
1Connect your printer to your PC.
Connect your printer to your PC by means of a parallel cable. The cable
must not exceed a length of 6.5 feet (2 meters).
2Install the KONICA MINOLTA PostScript or PCL Driver for Windows. (See
“Installing the PostScript Printer Driver”on page 33 for more information.)
