Minolta magicolor 2200 User Manual

							Dual In-Line Memory Modules 111
You may also need additional memory (DIMMs) for the following:
„To print complex graphics or complex PostScript documents
„For increased collation performance
„For increased spooling performance
The magicolor 2200 has 3 DIMM slots available. The maximum memory that can be 
installed is 384 MB (3 x 128 MB DIMMs). 
„Check the startup page to make sure the printer has enough RAM installed. 
„If you have enough RAM installed, and you have configured the printer from the con-
trol panel to print at 600x600 or 1200x1200 dpi resolution (Administration/Engine/
Def Resolution menu) but the printer continues printing at a lower resolution, you may 
need additional memory allocated to the frame buffer. (See the CrownBook
 for 
instructions.)
To allocate the default amount of memory to the memory clients, use the Memory/
Quick Config menu to choose the correct resolution and paper size for your printing. 
If you experience a problem with your magicolor 2200, first go through the installation 
procedure in this guide once more. Verify each item thoroughly. You may also refer to 
the User’s Guide
 for troubleshooting tips. If you still experience a problem, contact your 
local vendor or contact Customer Service at 1 (877) 778-2687 (toll-free US).

Installation 
Attention
It’s very important to protect the printer controller board and any associated 
circuit boards from electrostatic damage. Before performing this procedure, 
review the antistatic caution on page 112. In addition, always handle circuit 
boards by the edges only.
1If you are not to the point when you are able to print an advanced status page yet, 
skip to step 2.
If you have previously installed your printer and have confirmed that it is printing, 
print an advanced status page in case you need to restore any memory settings after 
the DIMM installation. 
5Installing DIMMs automatically restores memory defaults. If your memory settings 
are specific to your environment, print an advanced status page before installing 
DIMMs, so you can recover the current memory settings.
2Ensure that the printer is turned off and the power cord and all interface cables are 
disconnected.
3Remove the printer’s controller board.
Loosen five screws and, using the tab on the lower side of the connector panel, pull 
the controller board from the printer.
4Position the controller board on a flat surface so the controller board lies flat and the 
I/O connector panel is facing you.

5If you need to remove a DIMM before 
installing one, remove it as follows; 
otherwise skip to step 6.
5If all the DIMM connectors are filled 
and you want to install more memory, 
you have to exchange one or more 
DIMMs for DIMMs with a greater 
memory capacity. 
aUsing both thumbs, pull the latches 
(one on each side of the DIMM con-
nector) outward.
bLift the DIMM straight out of the 
DIMM connector.
6Insert the new DIMM straight down into the DIMM connector until the latches snap 
into the locked position.
Observe the keyed side of the 
DIMM to align it with the connec-
tor. When seated, the DIMM stands 
upright, firmly in place. If you can-
not snap the DIMM into place, do 
not force it. Reposition it, making 
sure that the bottom of the DIMM is 
seated completely in the connector.
7Repeat steps 5–6 for each additional 
DIMM that you install.
8Reinstall the controller board into 
the printer.
Gently slide the controller board 
into the printer until it is fully seated, and then tighten the five screws.
When you print a startup page, verify that the total size of the RAM installed in your 
printer is listed.

Emulations, Fonts, and Other Software
Emulations 
Optional emulations, such as ImageServer, LN03, and CGM are available as PostScript 
files. This section describes how to download an emulation to the printer’s hard disk.
5You must have at least one hard disk, internal or external, attached to the printer in 
order to use an optional emulation. If more than one hard disk is available, the 
emulation automatically installs itself on the disk with the most free storage space. 
MINOLTA-QMS recommends that you have at least 4 MB of memory above the base 
configuration and that you add at least 1 MB memory to each emulation installed. This 
ensures that the printer can run the emulation without slowing down performance.
Downloading an Emulation via CrownAdmin
We recommend that you use CrownAdmin to download an emulation. Refer to the 
CrownAdmin online help for instructions.
Downloading an Emulation via a Parallel Interface
1Turn on the printer, and wait for IDLE
 to display in the message window.
2Insert the emulation CD-ROM or disk in your PC, and change to that drive (for 
example, if you’re using the D drive, type d:
¿
).
3Send the emulation to the printer’s hard disk. Type
copy filename 1pt#
¿
where filename is the name of the installation file and where # is 1 to 3. 
4When downloading is complete, reboot the printer.
The emulation should be listed in the Options section of the printer’s startup page, in 
the Administration/Emulation printer’s configuration menu, and on the advanced 
status page.

Downloading an Emulation via an Ethernet Interface
5Before you begin this procedure, your printer and PC (or UNIX workstation) must be 
connected to an Ethernet network running TCP/IP and have valid IP addresses.
1Turn on the printer, and wait for IDLE
 to display in the message window.
2If your PC is running Windows, change to DOS.
3Insert the emulation CD-ROM or disk in your PC, and change to that drive (for 
example, if you’re using the D drive, type d:
¿
).
If you want to download the emulation from a UNIX workstation, copy the installa-
tion file from the emulation CD-ROM or disk to a temporary directory on your UNIX 
workstation, then change to that directory.
4Open an ftp session at your PC or workstation by typing one of the following com-
mands:
ftp printername¿
(for example, ftp pctdev6¿
)
ftp 
ipaddress¿
(for example, ftp 161.33.130.45¿
)

where  filename is the name of the installation file.
The printer’s message window reads 
1 Active Job to indicate that the emulation 
is being downloaded to the hard disk. The 
ftp> prompt returns when the emulation 
has finished loading.
8At the ftp>
 prompt, end the ftp session by typing

9When the Disk light stops flashing and the printer’s message window reads Idle 
for at least 30 seconds, turn the printer off and then on again.
10When downloading is complete, reboot the printer.
The emulation should be listed in the Options section of the printer’s startup page, in 
the Administration/Emulation printer’s configuration menu, and on the advanced 
status page.
5You may want to erase any installation files left on your computer (and/or workstation), 
and then remove any temporary directories.
Using an Optional Emulation
Refer to the documentation that came with your emulation for configuration and usage 
instructions.
ImageServer
MINOLTA-QMS ImageServer technology provides a high-performance, cost-effective 
way for businesses using document imaging to print their stored image files. 
CCITT Emulation
A CCITT emulation (Group 4, monochrome only) is available through the 
MINOLTA-QMS
 ImageServer option, which image-enables your printer, allowing it 
to print many images at or near the rated engine speed and eliminating the need for a 
computer dedicated to rasterizing images. For complete information, refer to the 
documentation that comes with the ImageServer option.
Fonts
Optional fonts are available as files on floppy disks. This section describes how to 
download optional fonts from a floppy disk to the printer’s hard disk.
5At least one hard disk (internal or external) must be present on your printer before you 
can download a font. If more than one hard disk is available, the font automatically 
installs itself on the disk with the most free storage space.

Installing a Kanji Font Internal IDE Hard Disk
Attention
The Kanji fonts are factory installed on a formatted hard disk drive. DO NOT 
reformat or initialize the Kanji internal hard disk. Reformatting erases all data, 
fonts, and files on the disk. Your warranty does not cover this error.
The Kanji font internal IDE hard disk is installed on the controller board in the same way 
any internal hard disk is installed. See “Internal IDE Hard Disk Drive” on page 126 for 
detailed steps on installing an internal hard disk.
Attention
If you already have an internal hard disk installed, you must remove it before you 
can install the Kanji disk. 
Configuring the Printer for Kanji
See “Storage Devices” in the CrownBook
 for information on how to configure your 
printer’s memory when using an internal hard disk.
QFORM
QFORM allows you to use existing lineprinter and forms-printing applications on your 
magicolor 2200. This printer-resident application gives you the ability to store PostScript 
forms on the printer’s hard disk and fill those forms with your application’s ASCII print 
stream. Features include
„Definition of page formatting and fonts
„Duplexing with binding-margin offsets
„Two-sided forms with text fill-in on front and/or back
„“Gray bar” listing formats
„Automatic page numbering
„ANSI carriage-control recognition
