Tips
- In Windows XP/Server 2003, if the printer driver is deleted in the above procedure, the model informa-
tion files remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version of the printer driver,
the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.
– Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder ("C:\WIN-
DOWS\system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system), and if there is a folder of the corre-
sponding model, remove it. However, if multiple drivers are installed including the PCL KONICA
MINOLTA driver, PostScript KONICA MINOLTA driver and fax driver, the model information of all drivers
is deleted. To leave drivers other than the fax driver, do not remove the folder.
