Product overview Capabilities of the IP-011 The Konica IP-011 printer controller allows you to use the Konica 7020 series copying machine as a printer connected to computers and a network. It receives print jobs from computers and network and converts them into image data (video data) that the Konica 7020 series copying machine prints out.
Startup sequence of the 7020 series + IP-011 system As the IP-011 is built in the 7020 series, supplying power to the IP-011 and its initialization starts as soon as you turn on the copier. The startup sequence is as follows.
Chapter 1 Overview Option KN-304 network board If the IP-011 is fitted with the KN-304 network board, the 7020 series can be used as a remote printer from any computer belonging to a network (NetWare/Windows). 1-6 IP-011 PRINTER CONTROLLER...

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Resetting the KN-304 to Factory Default You can cause the KN-304 to restore all parameters to factory default values, so the Print Server Card appears just as it came from the factory. You may choose to do this when the Print Server Card is moved to a new location where the environment (NetWare file servers, IP subnets, and so on) is different.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting How to Diagnose Problems Use the following list to determine the cause of printing problems: 1. Verify that the printer is functioning properly. • Is the printer printing? Make sure the printer is operating properly by causing it to generate a test page.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Network Hardware Connections • For 100BaseT or 10BaseT, check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ connector on the KN-304. • Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad cable. Troubleshooting NetWare Protocol It is recommended you use MAP to get the NetWare setup and parameter values.
