Driver Download and Install

1. On any web browser go to

http://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.eu/index/service/dlc.false.driver.TASKALFA6550CI._

.EN.html

2. Download the driver called Mac OS X 10.5 and up (32/64bt Universal).

3. Agree to the license agreement.

4. Double-click on the drive Kyocera OS X 10.5+…mpkg on the desktop, and launch the file in

the window that appears by double-clicking on it.

5. Click continue on the resulting installation window.

6. You may be asked for a username and password – this is the username and password for the

local Mac user account with administrative privileges (not your NetID).

7. Accept the default settings on the installation dialog. Click Close when you see the following

– this means that all of the printer drivers have installed successfully.

Install the Printers

1. Open System Preferences and choose Print & Scan

2. Click on the + (bottom-left of the Print & Scan dialog) and select Add Other Printer or

Scanner…

3. Control-click anywhere on the toolbar and choose Customize Toolbar

4. Drag the Advanced gear up into the toolbar and click Done.

6. To assign the driver in the final, Print Using, section, select Select Printer Software… from

the drop-down menu, and then search for and select the Kyocera CS 6550ci (KPDL) driver.

7. Finally, click Add.

8. You have now installed the Color printer for the Kyocera Copiers. On a Mac, it is necessary

to install a separate, Black & White, driver for the same copiers to avoid getting color

charges for grayscale print jobs. Follow the same steps as for installing the color printer, but

the Add Printer dialog should look like this:

9. When completed, you should have the following printers available to you:

Install the PaperCut Application

PaperCut is the application that moves the print job to the printer queue, and correctly bills the

appropriate department for the work.

1. From the Go menu choose Connect to Server…

2. Enter the server address smb://loki.unr.edu/PCClient and click Connect. If you are asked for

a username and password, enter your username as UNR\netid and your NetID password.

3. Look in the Mac folder and either double-click on the PCClient app or drag it into the

Applications folder.

4. During the install, you may be asked to install a Java runtime. Click Install.

5. When completed, you should have a new piece of software in your Applications folder

called PCClient. Launching it will ask you for a username and password – this is your NetID

and password. Enter your NetID as UNR\netid and check the Remember my identity box so

that you do not have to enter your username and password again.

6. The final stage is to allow PaperCut to launch automatically when you start the computer.

Open System Preferences and choose Users & Groups. Ensure that your login account is

selected on the menu on the left.

7. Select Login Items and click on the + at the bottom.

8. Select PCClient from the Applications folder and click Add.

9. Check that PaperCut will auto-start by logging out of your computer and back in. A small

green box should appear in the corner with the PaperCut logo clearly displayed.

Printing

1. To print, select either the CopyStar or CopyStarB&W printer from the print dialog.

2. The first time you print to either of these, you will be asked for your NetID and password.

Enter your username as UNR\netid and check the Remember this password in my keychain

if you do not want to be asked this every time you print.

3. A new window will appear. This will inform you of the cost of printing, and allow you to

select the department you would like to be billed. Click Print to send the job to the printer.

4. The printer may state that it is in Error State. This is normal, and should not affect your

ability to print.

5. At the printer, enter in your PIN and select the job you would like to produce. You can print

from any Kyocera copier on-campus.
