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
        (d) Paper Source is set to Auto
        (e) Paper sizes specified on the front and back side
            are the same

    14. Page Orientation--When a Word document with mixed page 
        orientation is printed by Booklet, the second page 
        rotates by 180 degrees.  For example, a 3-page document
        with Landscape, Portrait and Landscape orientation set
        for the first, second and third page respectively would
        have the second page rotated.

    15. Device Options Setting--It is possible that when you
        click the "Default" button under the "Device Options
        Setting" tab, the "Apply" button will be grayed-out.
        When this occurs, clicking the "OK" button will have
        the same effect as the "Apply" button.

    16. Upgrading Driver--Remove the original driver before
        upgrading. From Start->Programs->KONICA MINOLTA program
        group, select "Uninstall", or from Start->Settings->
        Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, remove only 
        "KONICA MINOLTA	magicolor 1600 Raster". 
        "KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 1600 Raster Printer Driver 
        Software" listed in the "Add or Remove Programs" will
        be needed when removing the upgraded driver. If it 
        has been removed by mistake, Please re-install the 
        driver from the Installer CD.

    17. Upgrading Driver--An error message may appear while
        installing an upgraded driver. However, please  
        continue to complete the installation.

        If the "Language Version Conflict..." error dialog box
        appears, click the "Yes" button.  If the "Setup could
        not replace..." error dialog box appears, click the 
        "Ignore" button'. You should be able to
        install the upgraded driver.

    18. During Installation by USB, it is possible that Windows 
        "New Hardware Found" or "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog 
        appears behind the Printer Driver Installer. In such a 
        case, please bring this Windows dialog to the foreground, 
        then select "Locate and install driver software (recommended)"
        or "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" to 
        allow the driver installation to complete.

=================================================================
 VII. CLIENT-SERVER INSTALLATION (Point and Print)

     1. Printer Properties (Windows XP SP2 Vista)--When installing
        the driver with SP2, new security features allow for
        greater protection but less flexibility in a Client/Server
        environment.  When the "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)"
        box is checked, SP2 forces the user to go into
        "Forceguest" mode even if the user has Administration
        rights to the server.  As such, it is possible that driver
        settings performed at the client side may not be saved
        at the server because the user does not have the proper
        security rights.  Additionally, some driver settings
        at the client side may not be available.

        The "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" check box can
        be accessed by going to "My Computer", then to "Tools",
        "Folder Options" and select the "View" tab.

        In Vista, similar security features are found in the
        User Account Control (UAC) setting.  This means that
        some driver settings at the client side may not be available
        when the User Account Control check box is checked.

        The "User Account Control" check box can be accessed by going
        to the "Control Panel", then to "User Accounts", then to
        "Turn User Account Control on or off".

     2. Printer Properties (Windows Vista)--It is possible that after
        installing the driver at the client side, Auto Configure may
        not be able to correctly detect the Duplex or Tray 2 option
        if they are installed in the system.  You may still be
        able to enable these options by unchecking the Auto Configure
        check box and manually enabling them through the Device Options
        Setting tab.  If the duplex option is not enabled, some features
        such as "Double-Sided" will be grayed-out.

     3. Printer Names--Windows supports the use of long printer
        names.  It allows you to create printer names that contain
        spaces and special characters.  However, if you share a printer
        over a network, some clients will not recognize or correctly
        handle the long names and you may experience problems printing.
        To prevent printing problems due to long names, you need to
        ensure that the printer's entire qualified name (including
        the server name, \\PRINTER2\PSCRIPT, for example) must be
        less than 32 characters.  Additionally, do not include
        spaces or special characters in these names.
