Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1.5 Upgrading from a Kodak 10Mbit NIC

I

The Kodak 10/100 Mbit NIC may be used to upgrade any Kodak printers
that are currently using a Kodak 10Mbit NIC with a ÒMIL-3007EKÒsticker
on the bottom of the NIC.

Note: This manual is applicable only to Kodak printers using this Kodak

10/100 NIC upgrade relative to NIC conÞguration methods.

1.6 Kodak 10/100 NIC Features

I

The NIC is an autodetecting 10 or 100 Mbps, network interface card that
allows users to connect directly to a Kodak printer or proofer on Ethernet
networks using 10BaseT or 100BaseT network media.

The NIC connects printers directly to Ethernet networks utilizing IPX,
EtherTalk, TCP/IP and/or NetBios/Netbeui protocols in support of Novell
NetWare 3.x, Netware 4.x, Netware NDS, IBM OS/2, MS-DOS, Windows

3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Macintosh and
Unix environments. In general, any system that supports the NIC
protocols should be able to use this NIC to print to Kodak printers.

1.6.1 Hardware Features

¥ NIC motherboard, with Ethernet controller and custom shared DMA

interface to Kodak printer. The NIC connects directly to Ethernet
networks via an RJ-45 connector.

¥ CPU: An Intel 80186 processor, with a 16 MHz clock.

¥ 1 MByte of memory via Flash EPROMs: 2 Flash EPROMs are 29F040

devices. Each EPROM is 4 Mbits and arranged in 2 ´ 256k ´ 8 format.
Firmware upgrades of the ßash EPROMs can be done via network
connections.

¥ MAC chipset: Ethernet controller is 10/100 Mbps, with SRAM for data

buffering, and its own memory management.10 Mbit vs. 100 Mbit
autosensing accommodates network speed capabilities.

¥ 2 switches on the NIC faceplate provide Normal, Normal + Telnet, and

NIC conÞguration test page modes of NIC operation.

¥ Green and Yellow LEDs indicate network connectivity and trafÞc.

1-4 July 1998

1.7 Protocols

¥ The NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell IPX, EtherTalk and NetBeui/NetBios

protocols.

¥ Users can print in either PostScript or raster mode.

IMPORTANT: Printing in raster mode using EtherTalk is possible only

from a Macintosh. For non-Macintosh systems using
EtherTalk, you can print only in PostScript mode.

1.8 Network Performance

Network performance depends heavily on the topology of a network
(networked elements, that is, the # of users/nodes, inter-connectivity and
conÞguration of hubs, switches, subnets, routers, etc.) and will vary for
speciÞc environments.

A color-capable printer accepting large print jobs (1 to 100 Mbytes) may
be a critical factor in environments where network utilization optimization
is critical. A Kodak printer with a Kodak 10/100 NIC operating in a 100
Mbit environment may drastically improve your networkÕs performance
because it will only require a fraction (1/10) of the subnet network
bandwidth that would be necessary if it was operating at 10 Mbits.

1.9 NIC and Printer Installation/ConÞguration Overview

The diagram on the next page and the text that follows provide an
overview of

NIC and printer installation and conÞguration procedures.

Printer/NIC Installation and ConÞguration Overview

Step 1:Determine your Network and Printing Environment. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)
NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell Netware, AppleTalk & Native Windows (NetBeui) Protocols.

Step 2: Gather Necessary Hardware & Software Components. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)

NIC, NIC ConÞg S/W, Printer, Printer ConÞg S/W, i.e.PostScript Drivers and Raster Export

Modules

Step 3: Install the NIC in the Printer.

NIC Pre-installed in Printer?

Yes

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC. (Ch3:FastManage, Ch9:Apple/Macintosh, Appendix: A Telnet)

Recommendation: Use defaults until successful network printing is demonstrated.

Complete the following if using TCP/IP. (TCP/IP minimally requires an IP Address).

The quickest method (when IP = 0.0.0.0) is to use ÒarpÓ and ÒtelnetÓ commands.

1) Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) and power cycle printer.

2) Use arp -s <IP Address> <NIC Ethernet Address>

3) Use telnet <IP Address> 2002.

5) Follow Telnet Ethernet>TCP/IP>Set IP menus to set IP address and then Reset the NIC.

6) Power cycle the printer.

No

(Ch2:NIC Install) Requires NIC, Phillips or

T10 Torque Screwdriver, and Static Strap.

Use Server
Print Queues?

No

Step 6: ConÞgure Workstations for PostScript and/or Raster Mode Printing. (Ch5-8
Windows, Ch9 Macintosh)
Install proper PostScript Driver (for printer in PostScript mode) and/or Kodak Export Module
plug-in (for printer in raster mode).

Step7:Printer in PostScript Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Print
from Applications and

Select the Kodak Printer.

Yes

Step 5:ConÞgure Server (Ch4:Novell, Ch7/8 Windows
NT, Ch10:Unix)

Step7:Printer in Raster Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Export
from Adobe PhotoShop and Select
the Kodak Printer.

1-6 July 1998

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment

Consult with your system/network administrator regarding

¥ Protocols: Determine the network protocol(s) (TCP/IP, Novell IPX,

AppleTalk and/or NetBIOS) to use for communicating to the printer/
NIC.

¥ NIC ConÞguration Platform: Determine the platform that is appropriate

for conÞguring NIC network parameters.

¥ Servers: Determine any servers that will be used to spool and manage

jobs sent to corresponding printer queues.

¥ Printing Platforms: Determine the workstation platforms that will be

used for creating and sending print jobs.

Step 2: Gather the necessary components

¥ Hardware: Kodak printer, Kodak 10/100 NIC, and network cabling

certiÞed for 10 or 100 Mbit operation depending on the speed of your
network.

¥ Networking components: Networking components (cables, converters,

hubs, etc.) are not included with the NIC. You must purchase
interconnecting networking components needed to support a speciÞc
environment separately.

If a BNC (10Base2) connection is required, purchase a BNC/RJ45
transceiver or hub from your local dealer or distributor.

If a direct RJ45 (10/100BaseT) connection from a single computer to
a printer is required, a mini-hub and two network cables should be
used, minimally. We do not recommend using an Rx/Tx crossover
cable to defeat the need for a hub because it is a custom cable that
may not be available from a local dealer/distributor. Refer to the RJ54
connector description in Appendix D.

¥ NIC ConÞguration Software: Determine the NIC conÞguration utility

software appropriate for the platform. Use FastManage Utilities
(provided) or NBMon for Windows platforms, Laserwriter Utilities
(provided) for Macintosh platforms. Telnet (not provided) can be used
for any platform that supports TCP/IP.

This process may occur twice; the NIC will start a power up sequence
and then the printer will issue an additional NIC reset during the printer
initialization sequence.

4. Check the LEDs again after the printer reaches READY. Ready
indicates the NIC is connected to the network.

The green Link LED should come ON and remain ON (this indicates
that there is connectivity to a network hub/switch).

The yellow Net Traffic LED should blink intermittently as it detects
traffic on the network.

If the LEDs do not behave as described above, refer to page 12-3.
There is also the possibility that the NIC may be defective.

any mode, return the switches to Normal or Telnet mode, then power
cycle the device again for printing.

2.8 Configuring the Network Parameters

If you will be using TCP/IP, configure the NIC networking parameters.
TCP/IP requires an IP address. You can set this up using Arp, then use a
NIC configuration utility to save the IP address.

Note: Default configuration parameters should suffice for getting started

with IPX, EtherTalk or NetBeui protocols.

To use TCP/IP:

1. Set the operating mode switches to Telnet (D1 Up, D2 Down).

2. Power cycle the printer/NIC.

3. Map an IP address to the NIC Ethernet address using Arp.
Note: You can use Arp only if the computer supports TCP/IP and the

existing IP address is 0.0.0.0. If an IP address already exists,
change it using a NIC configuration utility.

Use the syntax your system requires for mapping an IP address to the
hardware address. If needed, obtain the syntax using your system
help.

EXAMPLE: for MS-DOS, when the hardware address =
0040C8:1234AB and the IP address = 2.4.6.8, type:
arp -s 2.4.6.8 00-40-C8-12-34-AB

Note: If an error occurs, type arp or arp /help for the proper syntax f or

your system.

4. To use Telnet (with MS-DOS), type telnet 2.4.6.8 2002
Note: 2002 is the NIC’s diagnostic port.

2-8 July 1998

NIC Installation and Verification

Follow the telnet menu to set the TCP/IP address; save it using the
NIC Reset command and then power cycle the printer.

If needed, see the platform-specific chapters for details on configuring
NIC network-related parameters from that platform.

Next, you need to configure the computers for printing. Refer to the
platform-specific chapters for details.

Windows - FastManage Configuration Utilities

3 Windows - FastManage ConÞguration Utilities

Windows FastManage Utilities: FastManage Utilities allow you to

conÞgure the NIC remotely from Windows platforms. They provide
complete control over all network protocols and related parameters via a
graphical user interface.

Alternate Method: You can also use Telnet to conÞgure and troubleshoot
the NIC from any platform that supports TCP/IP communications. Refer to
Appendix A for information on using Telnet.

Initial NIC check and printer setup using Win 95/NT Network
Neighborhood: If you have network browsing capabilities and you select
Workgroup, you should be able to see the printer/NIC initially advertising

itself as KDxxxxxx, where ÒxxxxxxÓ is consistent with the last six digits of
the Ethernet address for the NIC. This is just an initial check that the NIC
is functioning on your network. You must still use conÞguration utilities to
conÞgure non-default network parameters. If you are comfortable with
NIC conÞguration defaults, then you could select the ÒKDxxxxxxÓ printer/
NIC. Windows will prompt you to install a print driver, if necessary. After
installing an appropriate printer driver, you will be able to select the printer
within an application ÒPrintÓ window and and print to that printer.

3.2 Extracting Files from the Windows Utilities Diskette

The NIC.exe Þle on the diskette is a compressed archive of DOS/
Windows for conÞguring the NIC networking parameters. To effectively
manage these Þles, do as follows:

1. Create a KODAK directory/folder on your hard drive, then copy the
NIC.exe Þle to that folder

2. From a RUN or MS-DOS window, type NIC -d to extract and
decompress the directories and Þles.

DOS and FASTMAN directories and Þles appear in the KODAK
directory. The FASTMAN directory contains the Kodak FastManage
Utility Setup Þles that are used when running setup.exe.The DOS
directory contains the PrintMon and NBMon utilities that are used to
detect and conÞgure the NIC in a DOS environment.

3.2.1 Setting up the FastManage Utilities

To set up the FastManage utilities, run setup.exe (in the FASTMAN
directory), then follow the on-screen prompts. We recommend using the
FM default installation directory.

The default installation directory, FM, will contain the Kodak Fast Manage
Utilities for Windows, including Discovery, NIC Manager, and BOOTP. You
access the utilities, which are graphical user interfaces for detecting and
conÞguring NICs in your network environment, from the Start/Program
menu.

3.10 NetBeui Browsing and Sharing Abilities

When a client machine comes up on the network, it usually comes up in a
pre-conÞgured workgroup. The default workgroup for all NetBIOS
machines (including the Kodak NIC) is named Workgroup. When users
look for devices on the network, they normally see only those devices in
their workgroup. Windows 95 allows a user to browse multiple
workgroups, to choose a speciÞc workgroup, and then to view the devices
inside that workgroup. There must be at least one PC workstation in each
workgroup to store a list of all the other devices in that workgroup. That
PC is the BrowseMaster. The BrowseMaster is checked by the NetBIOS
clients without any user intervention.

The NIC cannot act as a BrowseMaster. For example, a NetBIOS
workstation is on a workgroup (for example, ÒMyCompanyÓ) and the
printer/NIC is installed on the network. The NIC will come up and
advertise itself in the default workgroup called workgroup. A user who
browses the network (using Net View or Network Neighborhood
applications) will not see the printer/NIC or even see a workgroup called
workgroup, because there is not at least one workstation in the
workgroup with the printer/NIC.

F
A
S
T
M
A
N
A
G
E

To solve this problem:

1. Connect to the printer/NIC.

2. Store a new NetBIOS workgroup name using either FastManage
package, nbmon.exe, or any other conÞguration tool.

3. Once connected to the printer/NIC, go to the Network Protocol
section, then to Microsoft SMB.

4. Change the property called NetBIOS Workgroup.

5. Change the workgroup name to the same as in the workgroup (that is,
MyCompany).

Users should now be able to browse the printer/NIC just as they would
any normal NetBIOS client.

As an alternative:

1. Use the net use or net view command without having the printer/NIC
in the same workgroup as the workstation.

2. Fill in the proper NetBIOS name of the printer/NIC.

3. Enter net? at a DOS prompt for more information about the utilities.

3.10.1 DOS Tools for NetBIOS

If you have problems installing and using the NetBIOS management
tools, the following suggestions might help:

¥ When using the showprn.exe tool, and the printer/NIC does not

appear, issue the command with a -d0, -d1 or -d2 switch:

showprn.exe -d1

This causes showprn to use an alternate stack to send the packet.
This problem shows up sometimes in systems that have multiple NICs
or multiple protocols loaded. If a -d1 switch was used with the
showprn.exe tool, use it on the NBMON command line.

¥ If the IPX protocol is loaded and running on a system running

Windows 95, the check box for Send NetBIOS over IPX should not be
checked.

Send NetBIOS over IPX is located in the Control Panel--> Network-

-> IPX Compatible Protocol screen.

¥ Open up the Control Panel, Networks screen. Choose NetBEUI

protocol. Check the checkbox marked Set this Protocol to be the

Default Protocol. In Windows 95, it is located in the Advanced
Options window.

4.4 ConÞguring in a Mixed Bindery and NDS Environment

The Kodak printer/NIC can operate in a mixed Bindery/NDS environment.
Adhere to the following restrictions:

¥ The Kodak printer/NIC can service up to 16 queues (NDS and/or

Bindery) on a total of 16 servers.

¥ The Kodak printer/NIC cannot service bindery queues and NDS

queues on the same server (i.e., two simultaneous connectionsÑone
bindery, one NDSÑon the same server).

¥ The Kodak printer/NIC can service NDS queues in only one tree.

¥ When logged in to an NDS environment as an NDS Print Server, you

should conÞgure the print server with only one NDS Printer object. You
specify parameters, such as which port to send data (LPT or COM) by
creating special queue name sufÞxes.

The major differences between conÞguring a Kodak printer/NIC to
service bindery or NDS queues areÑ

¥ When using Bindery queues, users may modify the setting in the

printer/NIC called Preferred Server. This refers to the Bindery File
Server that holds the conÞguration Þle.

¥ When servicing NDS queues, the printer must be conÞgured with a

context name, and may be conÞgured (optionally) with a tree name.
This can be done with FastManage.

¥ When conÞgured for NDS, the printer does not use a conÞguration Þle.

It logs into the context where it was conÞgured, locates the printer and
queues that it should service.

¥ Regarding manual conÞguration of print server, queues, and printers

(within PCONSOLE or NWadmin): Bindery print servers are directly
attached to bindery print queues. NDS print servers are attached to a
single printer, which in turn is potentially attached to many print
queues.

When conÞgured to service both Bindery and NDS queues, the NIC does
the following:

1. At startup, the NIC tries to locate an NDS server.

2. Once it locates the server, the NIC looks at the context it has been
conÞgured with, and tries to log in as print server KDxxxxxx (the xxxs
are the six-digit hardware address).

3. Once successful, the NIC gets the printer attribute of that print server,
and then gets the list of print queues that the printer should service.

4. The NIC attaches to those print queues and moves on to the next
phase.

Note: If a context was not speciÞed in the NIC NVRAM, the NIC will not

log into the NDS tree.

5. The NIC then tries to locate normal Bindery Þle servers.

4-8 July 1998

Novell NetWare

6. Once it locates a Bindery Þle server, the NIC looks in its preferred
server for an NVRAM value, and if a value exists, routes itself to that
server.

7. The NIC then looks on the preferred server for a print server queue in
the form of KDxxxxxx.

8. The NIC then reads the print server queueÕs conÞguration Þle and logs
in and attaches to the queues and servers listed in that conÞguration
Þle.

9. If a preferred server was not speciÞed in its NVRAM, the NIC searches
up to 24 Þle servers on the network for a print queue.

10.If a print queue is not found, the NIC goes back periodically through
the list of servers and try to blindly log in as print server KDxxxxxx. If
successful, it gets the list of queues that the NIC should service and
attaches to those queues.

4.5 Novell NetWare - AppleTalk

If AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS) for Novell is not already in use, consult
the Novell CD-ROM on-line documentation to set up and use ATPS. To
use ATPS for the Kodak printer, an ATPS.CFG Þle must be edited
appropriately to deÞne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding
zone.

Note: AppleTalk for Novell recognizes the printer only when it is in

PostScript mode. Raster mode cannot be accommodated. You
must set up an IPX queue to support both PostScript and raster
modes. Only Macintosh systems can print in raster mode using
AppleTalk.

4.5.1 Configuring Novell NetWare 3.x for AppleTalk

2. On the server, back up the sys:\system\atps.cfg Þle.

Note: Make sure you include the beginning and end quotes in the

following commands.

Edit the atps.cfg Þle, and add a line with the Kodak printer AppleTalk
name and its associated AppleTalk zone to the list of printers in the
following format:

<Appletalk printer name>:<Appletalk zone>

For example, enter the following command:

ÒKodak Printer:Kprinter_ZoneÓ

Note: Make sure you include the quotation marks in the command.

If no queue is stated, a NetWare queue associated with the AppleTalk
printer name, NW_Kodak_Printer, is created. You can verify this using
PCONSOLE.

3. Save the atps.cfg Þle.

4. Load atps -s -v

Use the -v [verbose] option to view the atps activity and to verify that
the contents are executed properly.

Your server can now use the same print services that Macintosh
computers use to access a Kodak printer.

4.5.2 Configuring Novell NetWare 4.x for AppleTalk

Use the NetWare 4.x utilities provided to set up AppleTalk. This setup is
menu driven, so you do no need to edit any Þles.

4.6 Troubleshooting Netware

The printer/NIC does not log in to bindery Novell 3.x server

The server may not have the bindery emulation mode enabled. To verify
that the bindery emulation is enabled, Þnd the following line in the
autoexec.ncf Þle in the system directory:

Set Bindery Context=<context>

Novell NetWare

where <context> is the name of the company to be used by bindery
emulation. If it is not there, bindery emulation is not running. Refer to the
NetWare userÕs manual for instructions on bindery emulation.

The printer/NIC does not login to the Þle server

¥ Use FastManage to see the messages sent by the printer/NIC.

¥ Use the userlist command (in NetWare 4.x, this is nlist user) to see

whether an assigned user to the printer/NIC has logged in.

¥ Use PCONSOLE to force a conÞguration Þle server to direct the

printer/NIC to search for a speciÞc server.

¥ Use a speciÞc frame type (refer to FastManage).

File server displays an Incomplete Packet error message

By default, the printer/NIC Þnds NetWare servers using repeated
broadcasts of different frame types. If a server is bound to a speciÞc
frame type, the server issues error messages for frames it does not
understand. Use FastManage to set a speciÞc frame type.

NotiÞcation not working when created with PCONSOLE

Verify that the printer type is DeÞned Elsewhere and not any other type.

Refer to Kodak Printer/NIC Installation and ConÞguration Overview in
Chapter 1 for overall conÞguration process steps and details. In the list
below, the steps described in this chapter are highlighted.

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment

Step 2: Gather the necessary components

Step 3: Install the NIC hardware, if needed

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC, if necessary

Step 5: ConÞgure the print servers, if needed

Step 6: ConÞgure the printer on user workstations

Step 7: Printing

8.1 ConÞgure the NIC

If possible, start with the default parameters. TCP/IP protocol is the only
protocol that minimally requires conÞguration of an IP address. if it is
necessary to conÞgure NIC network parameters in Windows
environments, refer to Chapter 3, FastManage, or Appendix A, Telnet.

8.2 ConÞgure Print Servers

Servers are conÞgured the same as workstations; however, the printer is
shared for use by multiple users.

8.2.1 Network Service and Protocol Installation

Windows NT supports network printing utilizing TCP/IP, Novel Netware
IPX, NetBeui and AppleTalk protocols. Appropriate protocols and services
must be installed prior to conÞguring printers.

NetBeui native Windows support PostScript or raster

AppleTalk AppleTalk Protocol PostScript only

8.2.2 Windows NT Server Queues

Problem Downloading non-Windows NT drivers From Windows NT
Servers

Windows NT systems are supposed to support automatic downloading of
other OS drivers when users conÞgure their OS for printing to a Windows
NT queue. For non-Windows NT OSs, i.e.,Windows 95, the proper Kodak
OS driver is not downloaded. When a printer is shared on a server, do
not select other OSs that will use the queue. Drivers should be installed
locally on all non-Windows NT systems serviced by a server.

Preventing Corrupt Image Data

On Windows NT servers, you may encounter corrupt data when printing
Þles over 5 Mbytes (exhibited by occurrences of color bands across the
printed image). You can correct this condition by setting up your server to
accept the entire print job before passing the Þle on to the printer. To do
this, do NOT select Job Prints While Spooling in Server Properties.

8.3 ConÞguring your Workstation for Printing

0

You should verify that this platform is supported for printing to your printer
or proofer. Refer to the user guides and software Þles provided with your
printer or proofer for information about installing software to support
PostScript and raster printing, calibration, etc. If needed, refer to
Appendix E, Technical Assistance.

8.4 Printer/NIC selection and printer setup using Win 95/NT Network
Neighborhood:

If you have network browsing capabilities and you select Workgroup, you
should be able to see the printer/NIC advertising itself as KDxxxxxx,
where ÒxxxxxxÓ is consistent with the last six digits of the Ethernet
address for the NIC.

1. Open Network Neighborhood

2. Locate and then double-click the printer icon named KDxxxxxx.

You must still use conÞguration utilities to conÞgure non-default network
parameters. If you are comfortable with NIC conÞguration defaults, then
you could select the ÒKDxxxxxxÓ printer/NIC. Windows will prompt you to
install a print driver, if necessary. After installing an appropriate printer
driver, you will be able to select the printer within an application ÒPrintÓ
window and and print to that printer.

8.5 Adding a Printer to Your System

Complete the following generic procedures to add a printer and install a
PostScript driver. These procedures include:

¥ Creating a printer that will communicate via TCP/IP (LPR Port) -

Section 8.5.1

¥ Creating a printer that will communicate via AppleTalk - Section 8.5.2

¥ Creating a printer that will communicate via a server/queue - Section

8.5.3

¥ Creating a Windows NT printer/queue that remote users may select

Note: Server conÞguration is the same as workstation conÞguration;

however, the resulting printer must then be shared and a queue
name assigned.

If needed, refer to the Windows NT documentation and software provided
with your system.
