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.Section.

Now open Microsoft Word and press CMD+P as if to print a blank page.

Select “Copies & Pages” and change it to “Output Method”

On the next pop-up screen, check the box for “Account Track.” Then put in your copier code for the password and check the box for “Save Settings” before pressing OK twice.


Back on the main printing pop-up, change the preset to “Save Current Settings as Preset…” Name it something easy to remember and use that preset each time you print.


Close the print pop-up and Microsoft Word and the printer should now be ready to use!
