English
What’s Next?
You have now completed the hardware setup of you printer. There are three
more important steps:
1If your language is other than English, refer to “Selecting a Message
Window Language”on page 20. Select the message window language
you prefer.
2If you are connecting via parallel or USB, skip to Step 3. If you are
connecting via Ethernet, set your IP (Internet Protocol) address.
With DHCP—If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), your IP address will be automatically assigned by
the DHCP server when you turn on your printer. (Refer to the Reference
Guide, in PDF format on the Documentation CD-ROM.)
Without DHCP—If you are not using DHCP, you may set the IP address
in one of two ways:
Use the KONICA MINOLTA installation software. Refer to the
Documentation CD-ROM.
Set the printer’s IP address manually. Refer to “Manually Selecting an
Ethernet IP Address”on page 21.
3Connect the printer to your computer or a network.
4Insert the Software Utilities CD-ROM and follow the instructions on the
screen to install a printer driver and printer utilities. There are several
installation options, depending on your host environment.
Windows—Use the AutoInstaller for the easiest installation. If you
prefer to install a printer driver and utilities manually, refer to "Software
Installation" in the User’s Guide, in PDF format on the Documentation
CD-ROM.
Macintosh—Use the Macintosh installer to install PPDs. To complete
the connection, refer to "Software Installation" in the User’s Guide, in
PDF format on the Documentation CD-ROM.
