options and features are available for your model.

=================================================================
II. APPLICATION NOTES

1. CorelDRAW--When printing a file to letter-size

media, select Fit to Paper in the Output Paper
Size section on the Paper tab. If you do not
select Fit to Paper, the image will be cut off
on one side.

2. DOS--The DOS copy and print commands are not

supported.

3. MS Word--Word does not allow users to print a

saved document in a different paper size because
it passes its default paper size to the printer
driver. Take the following steps to print a
document in a specified paper size:

i. In Word go to File/Page Setup and make

sure that the specified paper size is
selected under Paper Size.
ii. In Word go to File/Print and click the
Properties button of the magicolor 1600W/1680MF/1690MF Raster.
iii. Select the Paper tab. Check "Fit to Paper"
and select the specified paper size from the
Output Paper Size drop-down list.

4. Adobe PageMaker 6.5--The color separation (C,M,Y,K)

function may not function correctly depending on
image data. When the K plane prints in color, please use
the "B/W" setting instead of the "Color" setting on
the Quality tab.

5. Lotus Approach 9.6.1--When Print Properties is

opened, the layout of the driver preferences collapses.
 6. Notepad (Vista)--When printing multiple copies in Notepad,
please ensure that the copy count is set from Notepad
instead of setting it from the Printer Driver. You can
set the copy count from Notepad by:
- Click on the "File" command from Notepad
- Select "Print"
- Change the "Number of Copies" option to the desired
amount

=================================================================
III. CONNECTIVITY

1. Network--If you make any changes in the Network menus,

you must restart the printer for the changes to take
effect.

=================================================================
IV. ERROR MESSAGES

1. Duplex Jam--A duplex media jam may occur when

printing with a paper size mismatch. This is in
combination with AUTOCONTINUE=ON. Replace the tray
with the correct paper size specified in the driver.

2. Invalid Printer Name--An error message may be

displayed when installing the printer driver. Please
remove any preceding and following spaces from the
printer name text string to resolve this problem.

=================================================================
V. PAGESCOPE WEB CONNECTION

1. URL--When entering a URL in the System/Online

Assistance field, type in 'http:// URL'. PageScope
Web Connection does not support 'https'.

=================================================================
VI. PRINTER DRIVER

1. Collation--In order to collate multiple copies of a

duplex print job with Left Binding or Right Binding
selected as the Booklet option on the N-up Details
button of the Layout 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. Similar effects will occur when printing
with Watermark or with Form Overlays in WORD. Failing
to set collation in the printer driver will cause
the Watermark to print only on the first page of the
first copy.

2. Installation--A warning message may appear during the

driver installation. Click [Continue Anyway] to continue
installation. This does not affect the operation after
installation or connection.

3. Installation--When installing the driver from the

Installer CD, it is possible that a message will
 be displayed indicating that some Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) files may get overwritten. Please
select "YES" to allow the files to be overwritten.
(When selecting "NO", InstallShield Wizard will
appear. Click "OK" to stop and cancel the
installation automatically).

4. Zoom--The Zoom feature may not function properly for zoom

sizes less than 75% or more than 200%. When this occurs,
a possible workaround is to change your left and right
margin setting value to 0.1.

5. Poster Printing--In some applications, it is possible

that the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 options may not function
properly. When this occurs, a possible workaround
is to change your left and right margin setting value
to 0.1.

6. Custom Setting--It is possible that when you delete a

watermark custom setting, Easy Set names associated with
the watermark may not function properly. Please ensure
that after deleting the watermark you also delete the
Easy Set name associated with the watermark.

Please note that the same applies to all other custom

settings such as custom paper sizes and form overlays.

7. 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).

8. 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.

9. Overlays--Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with

the magicolor 1600W/1680MF/1690MF Raster driver.
If you try to use an overlay file created with another
driver, the file may not print.

10. 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.

11. Mixed Paper Sizes--When printing a document with mixed

paper sizes, the job may print with unpredictable
results. For example, a conflict will occur if a duplex
document were specified such that the odd-numbered page
is Letter size (front side) and the even-numbered page
(back side) is Legal size paper. Booklet or N-Up
 applications that employ scaling may experience missing
data or page shifting due to different aspect ratios
used for different paper sizes. An application may use
mixed paper sizes when the following occurs:
(a) AUTO CONTINUE is set to ON
(b) TRAY CHAINING is set to ON
(c) Tray 1 and Tray 2 have different sized paper
(d) Paper Source is set to Auto
(e) Paper sizes specified on the front and back side
are the same

12. Page Orientation--When a Word document with mixed page

orientation is printed by Booklet, 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.

13. Device Options Setting--It is possible that when you

click the "Default" button under the "Device Options
Setting" tab, the "Apply" button will be grayed-out.
When this occurs, clicking the "OK" button will have
the same effect as the "Apply" button.

14. Upgrading Driver--Remove the original driver before

upgrading. From Start->Programs->KONICA MINOLTA program
group, select "Uninstall", or from Start->Settings->
Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, remove only
"KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 1600W/1680MF/1690MF Raster".
"KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 1600W/1680MF/1690MF Raster
Printer Driver Software" listed in the "Add or Remove
Programs" will be needed when removing the upgraded
driver. If it has been removed by mistake, Please
re-install the driver from the Installer CD.

15. Upgrading Driver--An error message may appear while

installing an upgraded driver. However, please
continue to complete the installation.

If the "Language Version Conflict..." error dialog box

appears, click the "Yes" button. If the "Setup could
not replace..." error dialog box appears, click the
"Ignore" button'. You should be able to
install the upgraded driver.

16. During Installation by USB, it is possible that Windows

"New Hardware Found" or "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog
appears behind the Printer Driver Installer. In such a
case, please bring this Windows dialog to the foreground,
then select "Locate and install driver software (recommended)"
or "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" to
allow the driver installation to complete.

=================================================================
VII. CLIENT-SERVER INSTALLATION (Point and Print)

1. Printer Properties (Windows Vista)--When installing

the driver with SP2, new security features allow for
greater protection but less flexibility in a Client/Server
 environment. When the "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)"
box is checked, SP2 forces the user to go into
"Forceguest" mode even if the user has Administration
rights to the server. As such, it is possible that driver
settings performed at the client side may not be saved
at the server because the user does not have the proper
security rights. Additionally, some driver settings
at the client side may not be available.

The "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" check box can

be accessed by going to "My Computer", then to "Tools",
"Folder Options" and select the "View" tab.

In Vista, similar security features are found in the

User Account Control (UAC) setting. This means that
some driver settings at the client side may not be available
when the User Account Control check box is checked.

The "User Account Control" check box can be accessed by going

to the "Control Panel", then to "User Accounts", then to
"Turn User Account Control on or off".

2. Printer Properties (Windows Vista)--It is possible that after

installing the driver at the client side, Auto Configure may
not be able to correctly detect the Duplex or Tray 2 option
if they are installed in the system. You may still be
able to enable these options by unchecking the Auto Configure
check box and manually enabling them through the Device Options
Setting tab. If the duplex option is not enabled, some features
such as "Double-Sided" will be grayed-out.

3. Printer Names--Windows supports the use of long printer

names. It allows you to create printer names that contain
spaces and special characters. However, if you share a printer
over a network, some clients will not recognize or correctly
handle the long names and you may experience problems printing.
To prevent printing problems due to long names, you need to
ensure that the printer's entire qualified name (including
the server name, \\PRINTER2\PSCRIPT, for example) must be
less than 32 characters. Additionally, do not include
spaces or special characters in these names.
