Making general settings before using the printer

The printer driver requires setting items that are common to all print jobs, including
the port to which the printer is connected and any optional devices configured with
the machine. These settings must be made using tabs available in a Properties dialog
box after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating
environment changes.

The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, so you
do not usually need to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the
following cases.

Cases where changes are necessary

Applicable tabs

You want to add a comment to distinguish the printer
from others.

General

The connection port has been changed on the
computer.

You want to change the conditions for the display of a
timeout error.

You want to designate a port to which the machine is
connected via a network. (This setting must be made
on a computer that is connected to the controller via a
network.)

Details

The setting is not related to printing.

Color Management

You want to share the machine with other computers
connected to the same network. (This setting must be
made on the computer directly connected to the
controller.)

Sharing

You want to change the setting in the Minolta
Pi8500Pro PCL6 Properties dialog box. For details,
see Chapter 3.
