2-2) Driver installation

MS Networking for NT4.0 should be installed under “Network” in your control panel even if the GP device
will not be used as a network printer.

You must have Administrator rights to install the Fax functionality with the Printer Driver. This is
necessary to run the Fax service in Windows NT4.0. Normal Users and Power Users do not have the rights
to enable this service.

2-3) Restrictions

The Network Interface Board-E2e/E3e cannot operate with the “Automatic Configuration” mode when it is
using NDS mode. Instead, you should use Bindery mode or disable the “Automatic Configuration” mode.

A problem has been experienced when connecting to a Novell NDS Server (v4.11) with Service Pack4
installed. Novell has provided a workaround that is as follows:

1. After SP4 installed, modify the Startu p.ncf file from

“LOAD C:\NWSERVER\PK411.NLM” to
“LOAD C:\NWSERVER\PK411.NLM”, “PMUNLOAD TSKSZERFX.NLM”

2. Save file and restart the server for change to take affect or run “PMUNLOAD TSKZERFX.NLM”

at the console prompt for the change to take affect without restarting the server.

When printing with “Microsoft TCP/IP Printing” with the “Network Interface Board-E2e/E3e”
installed in your GP, you should enter the same name into the “Name or Address of server providing lpd” of
the “Add LPR compatible printer” dialog that you have entered as the name under “Device Information” in
NetSpot. If the name is not known, leave it blank. Failure to do this may cause a fatal error in the driver.

Windows NT4.0 must be installed with the MS Networking components. If the driver has been installed
prior to installing MS Networking, the following steps should be taken:

1. Install MS Networking for NT4.0 under “Network” in your control panel.

2. Install or re-install Service Pack#3 or later.

3. Re-install the printer driver.
