❖❖❖❖ Features

• Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T

• The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX,

TCP/IP), Windows NT 4.0 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPP (TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPP

IPP

), UNIX (TCP/IP) and Macintosh (AppleTalk) protocols. This al-

), Windows 95/98/Me (TCP/IP, NetBEUI,

), Windows 2000

lows you to use the machine in a network that uses different protocols and operating systems.

• A computer used as a dedicated print server is not required because the Network Interface Board can be configured as a NetWare print server.

• The Network Interface Board can connect the machine to the network without requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface Board is installed inside the machine.

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for printing via the Internet.

Windows 95/98/Me Configuration

Configuring Protocols

Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing

These instructions are for configuring the Network Interface Board and Windows 95/98/Me to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.

Configuring the machine

Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.

• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The default is active.)

• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP

protocol.

Reference

For more information about how to make the above settings, see the System Settings.

If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see P.90 “When Using DHCP”.

Note

❒ After setting the IP address, use the ping command to make sure that it has

been set correctly.

Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [MS-DOS Prompt].

Type the following: (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)

C:\> ping 192.168.15.16

If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.

Reply from 192.168.15.16 : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.

Request timed out.

Configuring a Windows 95/98/Me computer

These steps are for configuring a Windows 95/98/Me computer to use the TCP/ IP protocol.

Open [Control Panel] and double-click the [Network] icon. Make sure that

“TCP/IP” is listed in the [The following network components are installed:] box on the [Configuration] tab.

Note

❒ If the TCP/IP protocol is not installed, click [Add] on the [Configuration] tab

to install it. For more information about installing the TCP/IP protocol, see Windows 95/98/Me Help.

Configuring Protocols

Using SmartNetMonitor for Client

SmartNetMonitor for Client is a utility that helps you to use network printers effectively. It is useful in environments where two or more network printers are used. It is recommended that you install SmartNetMonitor for Client to use Parallel Printing and Recovery Printing. For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Client, see SmartNetMonitor for Client Help.

❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Client features

• Sends a print job directly to the network printers without using a print server.

• Notifies when a printing error occurs.

• Prints documents using other printers in the printer group when the spec-

ified printer is busy (Recovery Printing).

• Equally divides the number of copies to be printed among the selected printers in the printer group (Parallel Printing).

Important

❒ The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-

ers selected for Recovery Printing or Parallel Printing.

• Printer models

• Installed options (e.g. Paper tray unit)

• Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray unit

• Total memory

• Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)

Reference

For more information about installing SmartNetMonitor for Client, see the Printer Unit Type 1045 Printer Reference 1.

Note

❒ Make sure to close all applications before beginning the installation process.

Installing SmartNetMonitor for Client may require the computer to be restarted.

Using SmartNetMonitor for Client

Installing SmartNetMonitor for Client

Follow the procedure below to install SmartNetMonitor for Client.

Configure the IP parameters on the Network Interface Board using the op-

eration panel.

Reference

For more information about setting IP parameters, see “Configuring the printer for the Network with the Operation Panel” in the System Settings.

Insert the CD-ROM labeled “Printer Drivers and Utilities” into the CD-

ROM drive.

Note

❒ If the installer starts automatically, you can use it to install SmartNetMon-

itor for Client. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Open [Control Panel], and double-click the [Add/Remove Programs] icon.

On the [Install/Uninstall] tab, click [Install].

Click [Next >].

Type the name of the CD-ROM drive in the [Command line for installation pro-

gram] box, followed by “:\ NETWORK \ NETMON \ CLIENT \ DISK1 \ SETUP.EXE” (do not include the quotation marks), and then click [Finish].

Note

❒ An example would be “D:\ NETWORK \ NETMON \ CLIENT \ DISK1

\ SETUP.EXE” when the CD-ROM drive letter is “D”.

From the [Choose Setup Language] list, select the language you want to use,

and then click [OK].

After the [Welcome] dialog box appears, click [Next >].

Follow the instructions on the screen.

After the installation is complete, configure the printer port with SmartNetMonitor for Client. ⇒ P.7 “Setting Up the Printer Driver”

Note

❒ If the dialog box asking if you want to restart the computer appears, select

[Yes, I want to restart my computer now.].

Windows 95/98/Me Configuration

Deleting the port

The following procedure allows you to delete the printer port. If you want to delete the port which is currently used in Windows, switch the port to another such as “FILE”, and then delete it. For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Client, see SmartNetMonitor for Client Help.

From the [Printers] window, click the icon of the printer which uses Smart-

NetMonitor for Client to print. On the [File] menu, click [Properties].

Click the [Details] tab and make sure that the SmartNetMonitor for Client

port is shown in the [Print to the following port] box.
