network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your machine for a
network. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your KONICA MINOLTA
network machine.

If you are a Windows

user and want to configure your machine without using the KONICA MINOLTA

installer application, use the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment. Please follow the instructions in
