How to prepare Konica Minolta printer for Printix Go

Before installing Printix Go, the printer needs to be set up correctly. The printer needs to be powered on and off during this process:

  1. Configure SSL/TLS communication.
  2. Enable web browser.
  3. Configure OpenAPI.
  4. Configure TCP socket.
  5. Verify access to printer.
  6. Enable access for guests if Printix is offline.
  7. Additional steps to use card reader:

    Printix Go installation (including update and uninstall) and use of printer's touchscreen control panel (including sign in and print) is likely to fail and result in error messages if an administrator is signed in to the printer's web pages at the same time.

Configure SSL/TLS communication

  1. Open the printer's web page and log in as administrator.
  2. Select Security in the main menu.
  3. In PKI Settings, select SSL Setting.
  4. On the SSL Setting page:

    • In Mode using SSL/TLS, select Admin Mode and User Mode.

    • In Encryption Strength, leave it at the default.

    • In SSL/TLS Version Settings, you can leave it at the default (all selected), but we recommend you clear versions older than TLSv1.2.

  5. Select OK.

    • The web browser will change the URL to https:// and may ask you to log in again.

    • The web browser may ask you to confirm an invalid certificate.

Enable web browser

  1. Open the printer's web page and log in as administrator.
  2. Select Network in the main menu.
  3. Select Web Browser Setting.
  4. In Web Browser Setting, select Web Browser Setting.

    • In Web Browser, select Enable.

  6. Select OK.

Configure OpenAPI

  1. Open the printer's web page and log in as administrator.
  2. Select Network in the main menu.
  3. In OpenAPI, select OpenAPI Setting.
  4. On the OpenAPI Setting page:

    • In Chain, select Do Not Confirm.

    • In Expiration Date Confirmation, select Do Not Confirm.

  5. Select OK.

Configure TCP socket

  1. Open the printer's web page and log in as administrator.
  2. Select Network in the main menu.
  3. Select TCP Socket Setting.
  4. Select Use SSL/TLS.

    If the TCP socket setting is not configured correctly, the History may include entries such as OpenAPI communication returned 'SSL' (FAIL).

Verify access to printer

  1. Open the printer's web page, but extend the URL with /OpenAPI/DeviceDescription/.
    Example: https://192.168.1.10/OpenAPI/DeviceDescription/
