How to Install the Konica Minolta Printers

Using the Konica Minolta printers involves two main steps. First, installing the drivers and printer. Then setting it up to use your lab's tracking code.

The department uses tracking codes for prints and copies in order to fairly charge printer expenses in excess of $X a year to the appropriate labs.

If you do not complete the tracking code step, you will not be able to print!

This guide is split into a Windows section and Mac Section.
