Interfaces and Daughterboards 
Interfaces
Your printer supports the following interface cards:
„CrownNet for Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTX (TCP/IP, NetWare, Ethertalk, LAN 
Manager/LAN Server) for an additional CrownNet for Ethernet connection
„CrownNet for Token-Ring (TCP/IP, NetWare, LAN Manager/LAN Server)
„Crown for DECnet-TCP/IP
„LocalTalk
You can install one of these interface cards in addition to the two standard interfaces—
parallel and CrownNet for Ethernet (TCP/IP, NetWare, Ethertalk, LAN Manager/LAN 
Server). The printer’s Simultaneous Interface Operation (SIO) allows all of these 
interfaces to be active at the same time. In other words, your printer can simultaneously 
communicate through all three ports with three hosts, either computers or networks.
If installing Token-Ring or LocalTalk optional interface cards, see the “Notices” section in 
the Installation Guide
 for FCC compliance classification information.

What’s in the Kit? 
An optional interface kit includes the following:
„An interface card
„Interface documentation (in hardcopy and/or on CD-ROM)
The kit may also include additional parts not required for network interface installation on 
this printer.
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.
1Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power 
cord and all interface cables from the printer.
2Loosen five screws and, using the tab on the lower side 
of the panel, pull the controller board from the printer.
3Remove the two screws holding the metal plate over 
the optional interface opening.
The optional interface opening is labelled “Option.” 
It’s located next to the “Parallel” port. Save the two 
screws. (You’ll use them when you install the optional 
interface card.) You can dispose of the plate according 
to local regulations.

aAttach the interface card 
to the controller board. 
bPosition the interface 
card so that its I/O con-
nector slides into its 
opening in the interface 
panel and that its 80-pin 
connector aligns with 
the 80-pin connector on 
the controller board.
cGently press the inter-
face card down until its connector 
is fully seated and the card is secured 
by the plastic support post(s).
Attention
Make sure that the connectors on the interface card and controller board are 
properly aligned. Damage to the interface card and/or controller board could 
result if the pins are misaligned.
4Secure the interface card to the interface panel with the two screws you 
removed earlier.
5Reinstall the controller board.
Gently slide the controller board into the printer until it is fully seated, and then 
tighten the five screws.
6Reconnect all interface cables.
7Reconnect the power cord, and turn on the printer.
5In compliance with UL guidelines, “The appliance inlet is considered to be the main 
disconnect device.”
8Print a startup page. 
Check that the startup page lists the interface (Optional NIC) just installed under 
“Options.”

							SCSI Interface 124
Using a Network Interface 
Once a network interface is installed, refer to “Connecting the Printer to the Host 
Computer,”  in the Installation Guide
 and the CrownBook 
for information on connecting 
to the network, installing the software, and configuring the interface and the network. 
SCSI Interface 
The optional SCSI interface allows you to connect up to three optional SCSI devices, 
including a hard disk, and Jaz and Zip drives. These devices provide storage for fonts, 
emulations, and other files; increase the number of pages that can be collated; and provide 
a secondary storage area for spooled data, while providing virtual memory capabilities. 
Whats in a Kit?
An optional SCSI interface kit includes the following:
„
SCSI interface card
„
SCSI interface card ribbon cable
„
Connector face plate
„
Two larger screws
„
Two smaller screws

							Internal IDE Hard Disk Drive 126
Using a SCSI Interface
5Installing a SCSI interface allows the attachment of external SCSI storage devices, such 
as hard drives, JAZ, and ZIP drives. Installing the SCSI interface kit will not allow you to 
print via SCSI.
Internal IDE Hard Disk Drive
WARNING!
Make sure that the printer and all accessories are turned off before installing accessories 
involving the controller board. 
One internal IDE hard disk is supported—standard on the EN and DP models, and optional 
on the N and GN models.
What
s in the Kit?
The IDE hard disk kit includes the following:
„IDE hard disk with ribbon cable attached
„IDE hard disk bracket
„4 screws
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 anti- 
static caution on page 112. In addition, always handle circuit boards by the edges only.
When installing or removing a hard disk, make sure that the metal support posts (on 
the hard disk) don’t hit any of the electrical leads on the chips mounted on the 
controller board. The controller board will not function if any of the leads are broken 
or shorted together.

1Ensure that the printer is turned off and the power cord and all interface cables are 
disconnected.
2Loosen five screws from the controller board and, using 
the tab on the lower side of the panel, pull the controller 
board from the printer.
3Position the controller board on a flat surface so the 
controller board lies flat and the interface panel is 
facing you.
4Attach the IDE hard disk to the hard disk bracket.
Attach the IDE hard disk to the 
bracket with the grooved-end 
of the bracket facing the ribbon 
cable. The screw holes in the 
bottom of the hard disk should 
match up with the holes on the 
hard disk bracket. Fasten the 
hard disk to the bracket with 
the screws provided.
5Position the hard disk so that 
the four support posts face the 
controller board, the colored 
stripe on the ribbon cable faces 
away from you, and the con-
nector is down.
6Insert ribbon cable connector pin 1 (the colored stripe side of the cable) in hard disk 
connector pin 1.

							Media Trays 128
Attention
Make sure that the ribbon cable connector and the controller board connector 
pins are properly aligned. Damage to the controller board could result if the 
pins are misaligned.
7Press down gently but firmly on the cable connector until it is fully seated. 
Attention
Do not push or pull with the ribbon cable. Use the cable connector.
8Align the support posts with the holes on the controller board, and then press down 
to secure the hard disk to the controller board. 
So that you don’t stress the board, press one corner at a time to secure the hard disk 
to the controller board.
If you’re installing DIMMs, go to the next section. 
Otherwise, reinstall 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 (page 42), verify that the hard disk is listed.
Media Trays 
The printer comes with a 500-sheet media tray (the upper tray—tray 2). The lower feeder 
unit (standard on the DP model) has another 500-sheet optional media tray (the optional 
tray—tray 5) that provides two main benefits:
„Expanded flexibility to switch media size, color, and type without having to unload 
and load media. 
„Increased media-feed capacity
Keep replacement trays close by, so you can easily change media by slipping one tray out 
and another in.
Media trays accommodate only letter/A4/legal media.

1Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord and all interface cables from 
the printer.
2Loosen five screws and, using the tab on the lower side of 
the panel, pull the controller board from the printer.
WARNING!
Because the time-of-day clock includes an internal battery, there is a danger of explosion if 
the clock is incorrectly installed or replaced. Replace it only with a supported 
MINOLTA-QMS time-of-day clock. Dispose of any used time-of-day clock in accordance 
with local laws and regulations.
ACTUNG! Da der Uhrenbaustein eine interne Batterie enthält, besteht Explosionsgefahr, 
falls dieser falsch eingesetzt oder ersetzt wird. Er darf nur durch einen unterstützten 
Baustein ersetzt werden. Bitte entsorgen Sie den Baustein gemäß den geltenden 
Entsorgungsbestimmungen.
AVERTISSEMENT! Dû au fait que l’horloge interne de l’imprimante est munie d’une 
batterie interne, il y a un risque d’explosion si celle-ci est mal installée ou remplacée. La 
remplacer seulement avec une horloge supportée par MINOLTA-QMS. Se départir de toute 
horloge interne défectueuse en respectant les lois et réglementations en vigueur.
