Instructions for Installing the Konica-Minolta
Printer/Copy Machine Drivers on Your PC.

↑ ↓ Preliminaries:
This is the procedure for Windows-based computers only. Installation on a Mac requires a different procedure.
  1. Before beginning this installation you must log in to your PC as an administrator, not as an ordinary user. Teachers should have local administrative control of their teacher laptops via their normal login, so this should not be a problem.
  2. We have two Konica-Minolta Copier/Printer units. One is in the Mail Room (119) and one is in the rear area of the Media Center (141).
  3. This tutorial assumes that you want the ability to use either one to drop documents into your copier account and print them when you go down to the copier.
  4. There is a separate tutorial describing how documents can be sent to your mailbox in one or both of the Konica-Minolta printers and printed when you go to the printer.
  5. Dana at the front desk will give you the User Name, Box Number, and Password information you need.

↑ ↓ Step 1:
Before beginning, you need to check whether the drivers have already been installed. To do this, click on your "Start" menu and choose "Devices and Printers". This brings up the pane below. If you see any reference to "Konica Minolta bizhub pro 951" or "Konica Minolta 951", as in the picture below, then the drivers have already been installed.
In that case you can skip this tutorial and go directly to setting up your mailbox on the Konica-Minolta printers. Contents of run box

↑ ↓ Step 2:
Remember, you must be logged in to your PC as an administrator.
Teachers should have the required privileges via their normal login.
Go to your Windows Desktop. Press the "Windows" and "R" keys simultaneously. This will bring up the window below. Type the following in the window, as shown:
    \\3861-fileserv\tools
Click "OK".

When the folder referenced above opens, find and double-click the folder labeled "Bizhub PRO951".

The folder will open and expose another File Folder with a super-long name that starts with "951_pc16_win2k3_2k8_...". Drag this folder to your desktop so that you have a local copy of it.

↑ ↓ Step 6:
When you have dragged the folder to the desktop your computer will make a copy of it and its contents, which you will see in the location to which you dragged it. In this picture it is to the right of the window from which it came.
Once the copying process is complete you can click the server window (Bizhub PRO951) closed, as you don't need it anymore.

↑ ↓ Step 7:
Double-click the file folder that you copied from the server in the previous step. When the folder opens you will see, near the bottom of the list, two applications, each of which has a downward-pointing blue arrow on its icon and which says "Application" in the "Type" column: contents of setup folder

A DIALOG BOX WILL APPEAR asking
  "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"
Press the "Yes" button.

Press the "Agree" button.

Make sure the "Install printers/MFPs" button at the top is selected.
Also make sure the "Preference for IPv4" button is selected. IPv4 is the version of the Internet Protocol that we use in the Broward Schools network. IPv6 is the newer protocol which is not widely used (yet) and which will NOT work in our network.
Press "Next".

The "Finish Installing Drivers" panel allows you to give distinctive names to the printers as seen on the menus on your computer. This is your chance to customize this.
I would suggest doing what I have done in the slides below and include the room number in the printer name.
This does not affect how anyone else sees the printers.
If you want to rename a printer select it so that it is highlighted and press "Rename Printer" as shown below.
Otherwise press "Finish".
uninstall old driver alert and progress bar

This is what you get when you press the "Rename Printer" in the previous step. Rename the printer in a way that is meaningful to you, then press "OK".

There is another tutorial to help you with that.
