NOTE
The network addresses used in this manual are shown for
example only. Network addresses used in your installation
should be within the appropriate address range and have the
correct subnet mask for your network segment.
The IntecLAN Internal Print Server is a fast 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX/1000Base-T network interface.
This network print server supports IEEE 802.2, IEEE 802.3,
Ethernet-II and SNAP, and can detect those frame types
automatically.
It supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, EtherTalk (Mac) and
NetBEUI (Windows).
The print server has a number of security features, including
SSL/TLS, IP Filtering, disabling unused protocols, etc.
Password protection ensures that the print server is safe from
unauthorised changes in settings. You can also restrict access by
disabling network services, protocols and ports you are not using.
You can limit access to specific authorised IP addresses as well.
The SMTP feature allows you to have an E-mail sent to
designated addresses when certain errors occur.
NOTE
Change the emulation in the Printer Menu settings to Auto o r
PS before printing the network summary.

CAUTION!
Please ensure that a valid IP address for your network

can cause serious problems on your network.
E
XAMPLE
TELNET
TELNET requires the print server to have a valid IP address
configured. If the NIC already has an IP address configured, skip
steps 1 to 3 below.
NOTE
The method of configuring commands may differ between
workstations. Refer to the workstation’s manual.
1.Use the PING command to confirm the connection with
the network card.
Example
For IP address 172.168.20.127:
CONFIGURATION
ping 172.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the
configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been
already set manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with
the network. Reset the network interface card settings to
the default and try to set a temporary IP address. If you
still have the problem after resetting the network interface
card, consult the network manager.
2.Login to the network card using TELNET.
Example
For IP address 172.168.20.127
telnet 172.168.20.127
Using TELNET > 20
Page 21
You should see a sequence similar to the following
example:

3.Enter the number of the item to be changed.
The details window for that item displays.
4.When the configuration is complete, click Exit Setup to
save your change. To exit without saving your
modification, select Quit.
5.Turn the printer off and on again.
NOTE
The network card continues to use pre-transmission settings
until the printer is turned off and back on again.

This section provides guidelines on how to print over the network
from various Microsoft Windows operating systems. There are
numerous ways of printing from Windows and the exact set-up
will vary depending upon your environment. There are also
numerous versions of Windows, which can be configured as
either a client, server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of
network printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help
with all of their operating systems and this is a good reference
point for the exact details of each configuration option within
Windows.

U
SING THE INTEC DRIVER INSTALLER
The Intec driver installer program searches for compatible
printers on the Network and installs and configures the printer
drivers with the correct port settings automatically.
Using the Intec driver installer program, you can install to the
following connected printer types:
1.Locally connected printers
> USB port
> Parallel port
2.Networked printers
> Directly connected (i.e. Peer-to-peer) printers via TCP/
IP. The Microsoft Standard TCP/IP is installed and
configured to use Port 9100 with the printer’s IP
address.
> Printers not directly connected, but shared via a PC
(i.e. Client-Server)
WHY
USE THE INTEC DRIVER INSTALLER
>Automatically discovers printers on the Network (TCP/IP)
>Installs driver and correctly assigns appropriate port and
IP address
>Allows easy configuration and sharing of the printer with
other Network users
>Automatically configures the printer drivers with the
appropriate hardware device options such as hard disk
drive, duplex unit (via Network Extension software)

Windows Rally
Windows Rally is an automated “Plug and Play” type utility that
allows users to discover and configure network devices
effortlessly.
Windows standard TCP/IP port
The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers
using the TCP/IP protocol. A computer that acts as a print server
must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to print.
You can configure this to use either LPR or Raw (e.g. Port 9100).
IntecLPR
Used to connect your printer over TCP/IP using an LPR port.
Installing a network printer > 28
Page 29
IntecLPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS
and PRN files directly to your printer, and automatically redirect
jobs to other printers on the network.
IPP
The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), defines a standard protocol
for printing as well as managing print jobs, media, resolution,
etc.
NetBEUI
NetBEUI (NetBios Extended User Interface) is a protocol that was
designed for use on small workgroups or LANs. Within Windows,
NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between computers.
It provides a simple method of printing, but the protocol does
have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically
it is employed in small business networks or home networks.

This section is for administrators and it should be read in
conjunction with the relevant Mac OS X manual. Please ensure
your Mac has the latest Mac OS X updates installed.
To get the best results from your printer, install the Postscript
Printer Description (PPD) file supplied with your printer and use
this to customise the Apple PostScript driver that is built-in to the
OS X. Features provided by the PPD file includes:
>Supported paper types
>Paper trays
>Printer resolution
>Printer colour matching
NOTE
The PPD file must be installed using the IntecDriver Installer
to ensure that all essential files are copied.

ETTING UP A NETWORK PRINTER
1.If the printer does not already have an IP address, use the
Printer Setup Utility to assign an IP address. See “The
printer setup utility interface” on page 34.
To do this, you will need to know the printer's MAC
address. This can be found on the print server's network
summary printout. See “Network summary printout” on
page 32.
2.Install the printer driver software. This copies the printer
driver files to the correct location on your Mac OS X
system.
3.Make a connection to the printer by USB, TCP/IP,
Rendezvous or AppleTalk. See “Connecting to your
printer” on page 45.
4.If required, enable hardware device such as duplex unit or
printer hard disk. See “Configuring printer hardware
options” on page 48.
