You should be able to cancel and clear the print job in the print queue. ================================================================= IV. PRINTER DRIVER 1. Collation--Depending on your application, you need to select collation on the printer driver in order to get the desired printing results. Failure to do so will cause unpredictable results to occur. For example, if you have the following application setup: . A duplex print job with Boo let Left Binding or Boo let Right Binding selected as the Duplex/Boo let option on the Setup tab. If collation is selected at the application level it will cause the pages to print out of order. As such, do not select collation in the application. Instead, select collation at the printer driver level. . A collated, multiple copies print job. If "copies" and "collation" are selected by the application, "copies" will not wor properly. You need to select "collation" at the printer driver in order for "copies" to function properly.

. Watermar or Form Overlays in WORD. If collation is not selected at the printer driver, it will cause the Watermar to print only on the first page of the first copy. 2. Defaults--When adding or removing an option on the "Device Options Setting" tab, all the print driver configuration settings except for the "Copies" and "Scaling" settings are automatically reset to their default settings. 3. Installation (Windows XP)--Due to a Windows limitation, when a second magicolor 2480 MF printer driver is installed, the printer name in the Printers folder is identified as (Copy 1) rather than (Copy 2). 4. Installation (Windows 98SE/Me)--When upgrading to a newer version of the driver, you need to first uninstall the older version before installing the new version. 5. 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 "Unbloc " the Installer program from the WinXP SP2 firewall. 6. Installation--Do not use Plug-and-Play or the Windows Add Printer Wizard. You must use the Installer CD in order to correctly install all necessary printer drivers and utilities. 7. Installation (Windows Me)--During the process of installation, the PC will initially install the scanner driver followed by the printer driver. It is possible that when the Plug-and-Play wizard for the printer driver is displayed, it will default to LPT1 for the printer port. You would need to change the printer port to USB in order to install the printer driver properly. Failing to do this may cause the PC to display the error "Printer detection failed..." 8. Installation--The Printer Name must contain 48 or fewer characters. The default name is KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2480MF. 9. 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 Watermar and Easy Set Save. These features are available when the user is logged in as Administrator. 10. 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).

11. 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. 12. Overlays--Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with the magicolor 2480 MF driver. If you try to use an overlay file created with another driver, the file may not print. 13. 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. 14. Sharing--If you uninstall a printer driver for a shared printer under Windows 98SE/Me and then reinstall the printer driver, the new printer driver is automatically shared. If you do not want to share this printer driver, you must go in and manually unshare it. 15. Uninstallation (Windows 98SE/Me)--If you uninstall the printer driver, you must restart the PC to complete the uninstallation. Otherwise, some files are loc ed by the Windows operating system and therefore cannot be deleted. 16. Page Orientation--When a Word document with mixed page orientation is printed by Boo let, 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. 17. Job Cancellation--When a printer job is cancelled through the spooler window, the printer will print some additional pages before the cancellation ta es effect. Depending on the size and complexity of the job, it is possible that the job cancellation may not occur until all the pages are printed. ================================================================= TRADEMARKS KONICA MINOLTA is a trademar or a registered trademar of KONICA MINOLTA HOLDINGS, INC. magicolor is a trademar or a registered trademar of KONICA MINOLTA BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
