II.  CD-ROM

     1. About Adobe Reader
        If you do not have Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader installed
        on your computer, click "Manual" in the main menu of
        the Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM, and then click
        "Install Adobe Reader 6.0".
        Note: To install Adobe Reader 6.0, Service Pack 2 or later
        (for Windows 2000) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or
        later must be installed.
        If your system does not meet these conditions, install
        Acrobat Reader 5.0 by double-clicking the program in the
        \Adobe\acrobat5 directory of the Utilities and Documentation
        CD-ROM.

============================================================
III. APPLICATION NOTES

     1. Acrobat Reader 5--When documents are printed with
        "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size", while "Print
        as image" is not selected, they may not print correctly.
        In this case, you may use one of the following methods:
          - Select "Shrink oversized pages to paper size" and 
            "Print as Image", when printing.
          - Upgrade to Adobe Reader 6 or later.

     2. CorelDRAW--When printing a file on letter-size
        media, select "Fit to Paper" in the Output Paper
        Size section of the printer driver's Paper tab.
        If you do not select "Fit to Paper", the image will 
        be cut off on one side. 

     3. DOS--The DOS copy and print commands are not
        supported.

     4. Excel--When previewing (Print Preview) and printing
        worksheets and charts, patterns applied to drawing
        objects and AutoShapes may look and print
        differently than identical patterns applied to other
        objects, such as worksheet cells and chart series.    

     5. Excel--When a document is printed with N-up, the
        printable area may change.
        In this happens, adjust one of the following features:
          - Choose File/Page Setup, and adjust the Margins.
          - Choose File/Page Setup, and adjust the Scaling.

     6. Word--When you print a Word document with Fit to Paper
        set for the first time, Fit to Paper may not take effect.
        Use the following procedure to resolve this problem:
          i. In Word, go to File/Page Setup and open the Page 
             Setup dialog.
         ii. Choose any other paper size.
        iii. Choose the original paper size again.
         iv. Close the Page Setup dialog by clicking on the OK 
             button.

     7. Notepad (Windows 2000/XP)--To print multiple copies
        of a file, use the Number of Copies setting on the
        File/Print/General tab, not the Copies setting on
        the File/Print/Setup tab.

     8. Internet Explorer 6 (Windows 98)--If you try to 
        print, an Application Error may occur and you may not be 
        able to print.

     9. Visio 2000--When using certain fonts, the character
        spacing may be irregular and overlap.

============================================================
IV.  PRINTER DRIVER
     
     1. Collation--In order to collate multiple copies of an
        N-up or duplex print job with Booklet Left Binding or 
        Booklet Right Binding selected as the Duplex/Booklet
        option in the printer driver's Setup 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.

     2. Watermarks--When a document has both portrait and landscape
        oriented pages and the watermark's angle setting is diagonal,
        the watermark will print correctly for those pages that
        have the same orientation as the first page. The watermark
        will not print correctly for the pages having another
        orientation than the first page.

     3. Watermarks--The watermark printing will be changed,
        if the printer driver's watermark properties are changed 
        during printing.

     4. Watermarks--The Watermark may not print with certain 
        font Size and Style combinations.

     5. Edit Watermark--The Watermark Preview may look incorrect
        for certain Typeface, Size and Angle combinations. The
        actual printout, however, will be correct.

     6. Installation (Windows XP)--Due to a Windows  
        limitation, when a second magicolor 2400W printer  
        driver is installed, this printer name in the Printers 
        folder is identified as (Copy 1) rather than 
        (Copy 2).

     7. Installation--Do not use Plug-and-Play or the Windows
        Add Printer Wizard. You must use the CD-ROM Installer
        in order to correctly install all necessary printer
        drivers and utilities.

     8. Installation--The Printer Name must contain 48 or fewer
        characters. The default name is KONICA MINOLTA magicolor
        2400W.

     9. Original Document Size--Certain applications may 
        allow you to select an unsupported media size 
        in the Original Document Size list box on the
        printer driver's Paper tab. However, if you do 
        select an unsupported media size, the file will not 
        print.

    10. Overlays--When editing an existing form overlay or
        creating a new form overlay (Edit Form Overlay button
        in the printer driver's Setup tab), if you specify 
        the name of an existing form overlay, the new 
        overlay settings overwrite the old settings without 
        asking for confirmation.

    11. Overlays--Overlay files are always created as color
        documents. Therefore, even if you select monochrome
        printing (B/W on the printer driver's Quality tab), 
        the overlay prints in color. If you want a monochrome
        overlay, you must create it yourself and save it as an
        overlay file (Edit Form Overlay button on the printer
        driver's Setup tab).

    12. Overlays--Overlay files must be printed at the same
        resolution at which they were created. In other 
        words, if you create an overlay file with 600 dpi, any
        document with which you use this overlay should also be
        printed at 600 dpi. If you print the overlay with a different
        resolution, it is automatically resized and, therefore,
        placed incorrectly on the printed pages.

    13. Overlays--Overlay files must be printed at the same
        Original Document Size at which they were created.
        If you try to use an overlay file created at a
        different size, the file will not print.

    14. Overlays--Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with
        the magicolor 2400W driver. If you use an overlay file
        created with another printer driver (such as the magicolor
        2300W, or the magicolor 2300 DL), the overlay file will
        not print.

    15. 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.

    16. Print Speed (Windows XP)--Under Windows XP,
        monochrome printing may be reduced to 5 ppm just 
        after installation of the driver. Restart your PC to fix 
        this issue.

    17. Uninstallation--If you uninstall the printer driver,
        you must restart the PC to complete the uninstallation.
        Otherwise, some files are locked by the Windows operating
        system and, therefore, cannot be deleted.

    18. Original Document Size--When you choose Letter Plus, 
        UK Quarto, Foolscap, Kai 16 or Kai 32 and try to 
        print, you must have the correct media size loaded in
        the input tray. If not, the printer will stop printing.

    19. Manual Duplex--If a media jam occurs during printing of
        the back side of a print job, the job will be canceled. 

    20. Printing Properties--Don't change the following printer
        settings:
          - Details tab/Spool Setting (Windows 98/Me)
          - Advanced tab (Windows 2000/XP)

    21. Network setting--This printer does not support 
        network install or printer sharing.

============================================================
V.   STATUS DISPLAY
     
     1. Connectivity--The Status Display supports only USB
        ports.

     2. Printer Name Change--When the printer's name is
        changed, you must restart your PC in order to work
        with the Status Display correctly.

     3. Printer Status Refresh Rate--When a large print job
        is being printed, printer Status may not be 
        refreshed until the print job has finished.

     4. Rights--Only "Administrators" group users (Windows 
        2000) or "Computer Administrator" account users 
        (Windows XP) can use the Status Display.

     5. Sharing Limitation--If the magicolor 2400W is shared, you 
        cannot use the Status Display.
