Printing via FTP

Printing with the TCP/IP FTP protocol (ftp command) will now
be explained. Please refer to your workstation’s manual for the
details of the ftp command. In the following explanation,
printing of a print file “test.prn” using the printer name
“OP8c_lp” is used as an example.

About FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring a
file with TCP/IP. If the print data is sent to a logical printer on
this Fast EtherNet via FTP then it will be printed out.

Regarding the logical printer

The Fast EtherNet includes three logical printers.
In order to print a file created using the printer driver, use the

“lp” logical printer for printing.
In order to print a text file of the Shift JIS Kanji code, use the

“sjis” logical printer for printing.
In order to print a text file of the EUC Kanji code, use the “euc”

logical printer for printing.

/ Root (printing not possible)

lp For direct output
sjis For Shift JIS Kanji converted output
euc For EUC Kanji converted output

“sjis” and “euc” function only as postscript printers.
They cannot be used with other printers.

User Manual 67

Printing

1. Log into the Fast EtherNet.

When printing with ftp, you can use any values for
“Name” and “P ass-word”. Ho wever , if the user name is
“root”, the “P asswo rd” set under TELNET or the utility
(see “Using telnet” in Chapter 7) will be required..

Example: Logging in the Fast EtherNet with a host name “OP8c”
(or an IP address “192.168.20.127”).

#ftp OP8c (or ftp 192.168.20.127)
Connected to OP8c
220 Fast EtherNet 7100e+ Ver 1.0.0 FTP server
Name (OP8c:root) : root
331 Password required.
Password:
230 User Logged in
ftp>

2. Move to the transfer directory using the cd command.

In the Fast EtherNet the transfer directory has a
hierarchical structure. Please make sure to move to
the transfer directory . It is not possible to output the
print data to the root directory.

Example: Moving to the lp directory and confirming the current
directory .

ftp>cd /lp
250 Command OK.
ftp>pwd
257/lp is current directory
ftp>

68

Fast Ethernet

7100e+

3. Configure the transfer mode.

There are two types of transfer mode, the “BINARY
mode” in which the file contents is output as it is and
the “ASCII mode” which converts the LF code to the
CR+LF code. If a binary file, con verted by the printer
driver, is transferred, the transfer mode has to be the
“BINARY mode”.

4. Using the put command, transfer the print data to the Fast
EtherNet.

There are two modes of file transfer using the put command.
Example: Transferring the print data “test.prn”.

ftp> put test.prn

Example: Transferring the print data specified by an absolute
path “/users/tes/test.prn”.

English

Example: Changing the transfer mode to the BINARY mode
and verifying the current mode.

ftp> type binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> type
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>

ftp> put /users/test/test.prn /lp

If the print data is specified by an absolute path,
specify the transfer logical directory. There is no
need to switch directories with the cd command.

5. Log out from the Fast EtherNet using the quit command.

ftp> quit

User Manual 69

Verification of the printer status

Three states, i.e., the IP address, login user name and transfer
mode, can be verified using the quote command “stat”.

In addition, by specifying the directory after the stat (lp, sjis,
euc), the printer status can be verified.

Example: Displaying the Fast EtherNet status.

ftp> quote stat
211-FTP server status:
Connected to: 192.9.200.82.128.30
User logged in: guest
Transfer type: BINARY

Printing from NetW are

In order to print using a Novell Netware4.1 or
NetWare3.1network environment, it is necessary to set up the
NetW are server and the Fast EtherNet.

To make the configuration changes it is necessary to have file
server administrator and supervisor authorization. This guide is
intended for NetWare administrators with a basic knowledge of
NetW are and its operating procedures. We suggest you read this
in conjunction with the Novell NetWare manual.

About NetWare

You can print with the printer connected directly to a Novell
NetWare network. For printing using NetWare4.1(NDS mode
and bindery mode) or NetWare 3.1, the Fast EtherNet supports
the following modes.

Print Server Mode

In print server mode: [1] a print job is stored in a print queue on
the file server, [2] a printer running in print server mode will
directly access the print queue and take the job, [3] the printing
process is performed immediately. You do not need to have any
other print server, whether on the file server or in the form of a
workstation, because the printer acts as a print server.

72

Fast Ethernet

7100e+

Remote Printer Mode

In remote printer mode: [1] a job is stored in a print queue on the
file server, [2] the print server (either on the file server or a
dedicated workstation) takes the job, and [3] transfers it to the
printer allocated to the print queue. [4] The printer receives the
job and the printing operation is performed. This mode uses the
standard NetWare print function (PSERVER.NLM/EXE). The
existing print server can be used.

<For PSER VER.NLM>
The file server functions as a print server.

<For PSER VER.EXE>
A personal computer is used as a dedicated print server unit.

User Manual 73

NetW are 4.1 Print Server Mode (NDS)

NetW are4.1 has an NDS network and a bindery network.

NDS Network

In order to use Netware4.1 print server mode via the NDS network,
it is necessary to set up the file server and Fast EtherNet.

See later in this chapter for:

• using NetWare4.1 print server mode via the bindery
network;

• using NetWare4.1 remote print server mode;

• using Netware3.1.

The following example uses NetWare4. Some of the on-screen
instructions and options may vary depending on the OS version
and system configuration.

In this example, the Fast EtherNet is connected to the NetWare
NDS tree “ODCSOFT”, the admin user context “ENG7”, the
context “SOFT22.ENG7” for creating a print server, and the f ile
server “SOFT22-NW44”.

Starting PCONSOLE through NDS

For the purpose of this example we will use F: as the network
drive name for logging in to the NetWare server.

1 Go to the context where admin exists ([ENG7] in this

example), using the CX command.

F:\>cx ENG7

2 Log in from the client to the file server ([SOFT22-NW4] in

this example) using the admin authority.
After entering Login, input your password.

Configuring the Fast EtherNet

This section explains how to use the Standard Setup Utility for
Windo ws. You can also mak e these changes using the Setup Utility
on a Macintosh or via TELNET. Read the following description
and choose the appropriate utility for your network environment.

• Use the utility when the NetWare file server and the
print server are running normally.

• Ensure that the printer is switched on as the Fast
EtherNet cannot be configured when the printer is off.

This procedure assumes that the Standard Setup Utility has
already been installed. For information on installing the utility,
see “CHAPTER 7 Control of Fast EtherNet”.

1 Select the Fast EtherNet to be configured from the list.

The Ethernet address is displayed on the Fast EtherNet
self-diagnostics test. If there are many NetWare file
servers, there may be cases where the list is not displayed.
In that case, select [Environment Settings] in the
[Options] menu and click the [NetWare] tab. Select
[Specify network to be searched], enter the NetWare
address wher e the F ast EtherNet exists, then click [Add].

NetW are 3.1 Environment

Starting PCONSOLE

Under NetWare 3.1, both print server mode and remote printer
mode are supported. Although the procedures for setting the file
servers are the same, there is a difference in the configuration of
the Fast EtherNet. This section describes the settings for the file
server and Fast EtherNet required to print in the NetWare3.1
environment.

See earlier in this chapter for:

• using the NetWare 4.1 print server mode via the NDS
network;

• using the NetW are 4.1 print server mode via the bindery
network;

• NetWare 4.1 remote printer mode.

In the following description, NetW are 3.1 is used as an example.
Some of the on-screen indications and options may vary
according to the OS version and system configuration.

In this example, the Fast EtherNet is connected to the file server
“SOFT22-NW312”.

For the purpose of this example we will use F: as the network
drive name for logging in to the NetWare server.

1 On the client machine, log in to the file server (“SOFT22-

NW312”) as supervisor.

Management of the Fast EtherNet

The Fast EtherNet can be configured from a computer on the
network. This procedure will now be explained.

Using a W eb Bro wser

If [the Fast EtherNet] is connected to the network with TCP/IP,
the Fast EtherNet settings and the printer menu settings can be
configured using a Web Browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Use a Web Browser which meets the following conditions:

· Microsoft Internet Explorer Ver.3.0. or higher

· Netscape Navigator Ver.3.0. or higher

Refer to the specific Web Browser manual on how to launch the
W eb Browser .

· There is no operation assurance on other Web Browser
than those mentioned above.

· The Fast EtherNet has to be connected to the network
with TCP/IP.

· In order to change the configuration, the user must
login as “root”.

· The password of the “r oot” user when the W eb Br owser
is used is the last 6 digits of the EtherNet address. This
password cannot be changed.

The following explanation relates to an example in which the
printer is OKIP A GE 8c(PS), W indows98 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer V er.4.0 are used.

1. Configure the IP address, subnet mask and gateway in the
Fast EtherNet.

For details, refer to “Configuring the IP address in the Fast
EtherNet” (Page 14).

2. Launch the Web Browser, type in the IP address of the Fast
EtherNet in the “Address (Location / Position)” and press
the Enter key.
