How to set up a Mac for Enhanced Server Printing

This method of printing will allow the Mac user to print directly from their workstation to the printer. Their job will still be recorded in the Print Director system as normal, but it won’t be placed into the ‘Follow Me’ system, i.e. the user will need to collect their job at the printer to which they sent it.

Ensure a user record exists for the user in Resource Manager

Firstly, we need to ensure we have a record for the user in Resource Manager with a PIN number we will use to insert into their printer settings on their PC. If the user exists, take note of their PIN. To create the user, follow these steps:

• Open Resource Manager.
• Navigate to User Management > Users.
• Click Add.
• Choose the Department into which the User must be placed and click OK. The new user defaults set for this Department will be inherited.
• In the Username text box, enter the user’s full name.
• In the Controller User ID text box, enter the PIN number the user will use to log in to the printers. Click the Auto button to generate a random, unique PIN number.
• If the user has a card and the printers make use of card swipe authentication, enter the user’s card number into the Card No text box.
• Enter the user’s email address in the Email Address text box. This is used for the following purposes:
• Allowing for Scan-to-me functionality on Konica Minolta and Lexmark Embedded Devices.
• Sending emails from within Resource Manager.
• Sending emails after Rule violations.
• Click OK.

Set up the printer on the Mac

Now that we have a PIN number for the user, we can set up the printer on their Mac.

• Ensure the correct Konica Minolta driver is installed. Download from www.konicaminolta.com.au (NOTE: Generic Postscript driver will not work).
• Add the printer via System Prefers the normal way. NB: When the Options & Supplies screen is displayed, ensure that the Hard Disk option is ticked.
