About this Guide

This guide provides instructions for network administrators on installing the Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card in the Kodak Professional 8660 and 8670 PS thermal printers and conﬁguring the printers for use over a network. This guide also provides instructions on conﬁguring workstations to send jobs to the printers.

About the Network Interface Card

The Kodak Prof essional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) is an integr al PCI bus compatible print server that allows a printer to be shared on an Ethernet 10 MB or Fast Ethernet 100MB network. Because the NIC has multiprotocol capabilities, users with computers running different network operating systems can simultaneously access the same printer.

Before you install the NIC in the printer, unpack and set up your printer and install the printing software on each workstation that will send jobs to the printer.

Features

The NIC has the following features:

• connects to either a 10BaseT or 100Base TX Fast Ethernet network and autodetects the network type.

• contains ﬂash memory for updating the ﬁrmware.

• contains a serial port to connect a console terminal or a serial printer.

• connects to the printer through a 33MHz 32-bit PCI bus.

• is conﬁgurable remotely using a Web browser.

• is compatible with Hewlett-Packard’s JetAdmin NetWare, Windows 95 Peer-to-Peer printer management software, and XAdmin Windowsbased NetWare management utility.

• has remote console capability management using Telnet or NetWare.

• contains IP security to restrict printing based on IP address

Using XConﬁg Utility

The XConﬁg utility is provided with the NIC for use with Windows operating systems. Use the setup utility to install XConﬁg along with XAdmin. XConﬁg is a command line interface that can be used to issue commands and get a status from the NIC.

XConﬁg and Telnet are equivalent command line interfaces. XConﬁg does not require a prior address conﬁguration if your system is conﬁgured to support IPX. (The NIC can be selected from its default “KOD_xxxxxx_P1” address.) However, Telnet requires that an IP address ﬁrst be established on the NIC.

1. To start XConﬁg, either use the Win 95/NT Start > Programs

Additional Mechanisms for Establishing an IP Address

Enabling IP access using ARP

You must be on the same Ethernet segment to use the arp -s command. There cannot be a router between the NIC and the system using ARP.

The arp mechanism will only enable that workstation to access the NIC using the IP address used in the arp command. It is still necessary to set that IP address on the NIC using any NIC conﬁguration utility in order for that IP address to be sav ed on the NIC.

To use arp on Windows:

1. From the MS-DOS prompt use the arp -s command to enter the IP address into the NIC as shown in the following example:

arp -s 192.189.207.77 00-40-17-00-ed-d6 Substitute your actual IP address for 192.189.207.77, and

replace the 00-40-17-00-ed-d6 with the actual Ethernet address of the NIC.

2. Use the ping command with the NIC’s IP address to v erify the connection. For example:

ping 192.189.207.77 Substitute your actual NIC IP address in 192.189.207.77 in

the above examples. You should get a response back from the NIC if the IP address has been set and the NIC installed in the printer is alive on the network.

Using Arp on Unix Systems

To use arp, enter the following command at the UNIX system prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress temp Ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address of the print server, and

IPaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example: arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:40:17:00:c3:e4 temp

Part No. 6B4389 June 1999 3-19

Page 44

Using Configuration Utilities

Using rarp to Configure the IP Address

You can conﬁgure the NIC IP address using the reverse ARP (rarp) utility on the host computer. To use rarp , edit the /etc/ethers ﬁle with an entry similar to the following. If the ﬁle does not exist, you can create it.

00:40:17:00:01:07 KOD_000107 The ﬁrst entry is the Ethernet address of the NIC print server, and

the second entry is the name of the NIC.

NOTE: The name must be the same as the one you entered in the

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it by using one of the following commands:

• rarpd

• rarpd -a in.rarpd -a

NOTE: Refer to the system’s documentation for more information

To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley Unix system, type the following command:

/etc/hosts ﬁle.

about starting the rarp daemon.

ps -ax I grep -v grep I grep rarpd For At&T UNIX systems, type the following command: ps -ef I grep -v grep I grep rarpd The NIC will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is

powered on.

Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that allows conﬁguration of the subnet mask and gateway. To use BOOTP to conﬁgure the IP address into the NIC, make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer. It should appear in the /etc/ services ﬁle on your host as a real service.

BOOTP is usually started from the /etc/inetd.conf ﬁle. To enable it, remove the # in front of the bootp entry in that ﬁle. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd. Conf ﬁle would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -1

3-20 Part No. 6B4389 June 1999

Page 45

Using Configuration Utilities

Depending on the system, this entry might be called bootps instead of boot’.

To enable BOOTP, use an editor to delete the # sign. If the # sign does not appear, BOOTP is enabled.

Edit the BOOTP conﬁguration ﬁle (usually /etc/bootptab) to enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address (found on the label on the NIC box), and IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the NIC.

NOTE: Refer to your system documentation to determine how to

enter this information.

Some BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOtP requests if you have not included a download ﬁlename in the conﬁguration ﬁle. If necessary, create a null ﬁle on the host and specify the name of this ﬁle and its path in the conﬁguration ﬁle.

The NIC will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.

If you do not have subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:

255.255.255.0 for class C networks

255.255.0.0 for class B networks

255.0.0.0 for class A networks

NOTE: The type of network you have can be identiﬁed by the

leftmost group of digits in your IP address. The v alue of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks, 128 through 191 for Class B networks, and 1 through 127 for Class A networks.

3. Enter the address of the gateway with the command SET IP ROUTER. The router address is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the NIC. For example:

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.198.207.1

4. Enter SHOW IP to verify that you have entered the IP information correctly.

5. Press CTRL-D to end the remote console session.

5 Microsoft Peer to Peer Print Services (NetBEUI)

Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT systems provide Microsoft Peer to Peer services which allow these systems to share resources within a limited network domain. These nativ e services utilize the system’ s NetBIOS in conjunction with NetBEUI protocol.

Native Peer to Peer services can also utilize the system’s NetBIOS in conjunction with IPX protocol. Refer to the section at the end of this chapter for conﬁguring peer to peer services using IPX and JetAdmin tools.The Kodak Professional 10/100 Network Interface Card (NIC) supports these peer to peer services by supporting communications via NetBEUI

By default the NIC’ s NetBEUI domain name is w orkgroup . This parameter must match the domain name deﬁned for your Windows peer to peer network in order for the printer to appear as a resource in that domain. The NIC’s domain name can be changed to reﬂect your domain name with NIC conﬁguration utilities.

KOD_xxxxxx_p1 is the default NIC (printer) name advertised for peer to peer services. xxxxxx corresponds to the last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address.

NetBEUI is a non-routable protocol. This means that peer to peer service resources such as printers will ONLY be accessible to users on the same subnet (and domain) that the printer is on.

NIC Operating Modes with Novell NetWare

To service NetWare print queues, the NIC operates in the following two modes:

Remote printer mode or NPRINTER mode on NetWare 4.xx or RPRINTER mode on NetWare 2.xx or 3.xx networks.

In remote printer mode, the user sends the print job to the ﬁle server which then spools it to a print server and sends it to the printer. Remote printer mode does not use a user license on the ﬁle server. If you have NetWare 4.xx and need to take advantage of NetWare Directory Services, you must use remote printer mode.

Queue server mode also called printer server or PSERVER

mode.

In queue server or print server mode, the NIC functions as a NetWare print server eliminating the need for a dedicated print server. Jobs from the a PC are spooled to the ﬁle server which in turn spools the job directly to the NIC. Queue server and print server mode, however, require a user slot on the ﬁle server.

NOTE: We recommend that you use queue server mode if you

have NetWare2.xx or 3.xx unless you have a limited number of available user slots.

Conﬁguring for a Novell NetWare Network

To use the NIC on a Novell network, one or more ﬁle servers must be conﬁgured with a print queue that the NIC can service. Users send their print requests to the ﬁle server’s print queue, and the jobs are then spooled to the NIC directly or through an intermediate print server in remote printer mode.

Novell NetWare

Novell Queue and Printer/NIC Association Using JetAdmin

The NIC is compatible with Hewlett-Packard’s JetAdmin tool. JetAdmin may be used to select a particular printer/NIC that is advertising its services on the network. The NIC’s Netware service is KOD_xxxxxx_P1, by def ault where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet hardware address. The NIC can then be associated with a particular Novell server and queue.

NOTE: You must be logged into the particular Novell server as an

administrator in order to set up NIC parameters associated with that server.

JetAdmin can be used to conﬁgure NetWare related parameters on the NIC.

Novell Queue and Printer/NIC Association Using XAdmin or XConfig

Refer to “Using Conﬁguration Utilities” for additional details on using the following conﬁguration utilities for the NIC:

• XAdmin is a graphic conﬁguration utility which is included on the diskette that comes with the NIC. XAdmin allows an administrator to establish and associate the NIC with a NetWare queue using the NetWare submenu options.

NOTE: You must be logged into the particular Novell server as an

administrator to set up NIC parameters associated with that server.

• XConﬁg is a command line oriented NIC conﬁguration utility which is included on the diskette that comes with the NIC. It is similar to invoking a Telnet session without the necessity of ﬁrst establishing an IP address on the NIC.

NOTE: A new name can be entered for the NIC if desired.

Changing the name also changes any other protocols that use the same name.

7 Conﬁguring for TCP/IP

The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) supports TCP/IP. The NIC appears to the network as a print server with its own IP address using the lpd line printer daemon protocol. Any host computer that supports the remote lpr command can spool jobs to the NIC. The NIC also supports gateways f or comm unications with hosts on remote networks. For special applications, a raw TCP port is available. Kodak develops printing software and supports networked printing environments for Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Windows

For Windows platforms, NT is the only platform that supports TCP/IP printing. Win95/98 systems do not support direct printing using TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose TCP/IP LPR printing software.

Macintosh

Macintosh systems use AppleTalk protocol for network communications and do not support TCP/IP printing without the addition of special purpose TCP/IP software.

Unix

• Kodak does not develop printing software for Unix platforms. However, Kodak assists third-party developers who provide applications and printing software to support Kodak printers. Refer to the K odak Web site (www.kodak.com) for information on third-party developer solutions.

• Some customers who have Unix applications and drivers capable of generating PostScript output ﬁles may wish to submit these ﬁles to Kodak PostScript printers.

• General information for conﬁguring printers on Unix platforms is provided to accommodate the use of lpr to send output ﬁles to Kodak printers. If you encounter problems, administrators should refer to the documentation for their speciﬁc Unix platform for conﬁguring print queues.

NOTE: Although generic PostScript ﬁles should print on Kodak

PostScript printers, Kodak cannot guarantee the quality of output generated from non-Kodak drivers that may not support features such as calibration of Kodak printers.

Conﬁguring Unix Systems for TCP/IP Printing

Refer to notes on Unix support at the beginning of this chapter regarding support for Unix platforms.

Assign an IP address to the printer (NIC) using the printer’s front control panel or by using utilities described in the “Using Conﬁguration Utilities.”

The conﬁguration procedure for Unix TCP/IP printing includes the following steps on a Unix workstation:

— Adding the 8670 printer to the host table. — Assigning a print queue. — Setting up the remote printer. — Creating a spool directory.

Adding the Kodak Printer to the Host Table

Use an editor to add an entry to the hosts ﬁle containing the IP address and node name of the NIC. An example of an IP address and node are:

1982.189.207.3 KOD_00C351

NOTE: Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter

the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. In this case you do not need to conﬁgure the /etc/ hosts ﬁle.

Assigning a Print Queue

Choose the NIC service you wish to use.

Setting Up the Remote Printer

Modify the /etc/printcap ﬁle to set up the remote printer for most Unix systems. If you have an RS/6000 AIX, HP/US, Sun Solaris

2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap ﬁle, skip to

the appropriate section for the Unix system you hav e to conﬁgure the Unix workstations for TCP/IP.

Modifying the /etc/printcap File to Set Up the Remote Printer

Conﬁgure the /etc/printcap ﬁle on each workstation to specify the local print queue, the NIC name (also called remote machine or rm), and the print server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.

The following is an example of a typical printcap ﬁle: Kodak1IPrinter on Floor 1:\ :lP=:\ :rm=KOD_003C51:\ :rp=BINARY_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/Kodak1: This creates a queue named Kodak1 on the host computer that

communicates to the NIC with a node name (rm) of KOD_003C51 and a service name (rp) of BINARY_P1 f or printing ﬁles through the spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/Kodak1.

Setting Up the Remote Printer for HP/UX Systems

For HP/UX systems, use the same program to set up the remote printer.

1. Enter sam, and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer.

2. Enter the following remote printer settings: — Line printer name (user selectable). — Remote system name. The name of the NIC must match

the name in the hosts ﬁle NIC or use the NIC IP address. — Remote printer queue (NIC binary or text service name). — Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes).

8 Conﬁguring for AppleTalk Networks

The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) supports the AppleT alk protocol allo wing Macintosh computers to print jobs to a Kodak printer simultaneously with jobs from computers using TCP/IP, Novell NetWare, and NetBEUI.

The NIC broadcasts AppleTalk information to computers on the network and automatically appears in the Chooser on workstations.

The NIC is compatible with Apple LaserWriter 8 printer drivers as well as the AdobePS and PhotoShop export module for Macintosh that came with the printer.

Printer and NIC Installation

Before you begin the conﬁguration for AppleTalk, make sure you have completed the following steps:

1. Set up the printer, and install the printing software on the workstations that will be sending jobs to the printer. Refer to the QuickSetup card or the Operator’s Guide which is included on the CD for instructions on setting up the printer.

2. Install the NIC in the printer, and connect it to your Ethernet network.

3. Generate a NIC conﬁguration page, and verify that the AppleTalk service on the NIC is enabled. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on installing and verifying the NIC conﬁguration.

NOTE: The NIC will automatically disable AppleTalk if the printer is

powered up when it is NOT connected to a functional network. You should be able to re-enable AppleTalk by power cycling the printer when it is connected to an AppleTalk network.

4. Enable Ethernet from the Macintosh’s control panel.

Configuring for AppleTalk Networks

WIndows NT Systems vs AppleTalk

Kodak supports printing using AppleTalk ONLY from Macintosh systems. Kodak does not recommend or support the use of AppleTalk printing from Windows NT systems.

Cautions and Limitations using NT AppleTalk

• Unreliable and inconsistent results have been encountered in

mixed Macintosh/Windows environments when NT servers are used to secure and/or limit access to AppleTalk resources. There is otherwise, no beneﬁt for conﬁguring the printer on an NT server as an AppleTalk printer since the Kodak printer supports other Windows compatible protocols such as.TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and Novell (IPX).

• Using an NT server to conﬁgure and capture an AppleTalk

printer may subsequently prevent the printer from showing up on Macintosh systems.

• Kodak printers that are raster only will not show up on an

AppleTalk network as LaserWriter printers. Therefore, they cannot be set up as NT AppleTalk printers.

9 Troubleshooting

This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC).

NIC Start-up Sequence

NIC LEDs

The NIC should go through the following start-up sequence upon power up:

1. The NIC will run through a set of power-up diagnostics for a

NIC Factory Defaults

2. If this does not work, try pressing the push button switch on

few seconds. If the NIC is operating properly, the red TEST LED will blink momentarily and then go out. If the TEST LED blinks continuously, there is a problem. If this is the case, ﬁrst verify that you have a good Ethernet connection and then try powering the unit off and then on again.

the NIC for at least 5 seconds (factory defaults) and po wering the NIC off and then on again. If the problem persists, the NIC may be defective.

It will then try for a few seconds to obtain TCP/IP conﬁguration information via BOOTP and RARP.

3. The print server will then check that the code in the FlashROMs is valid. If so, it will load that code and begin normal execution.

Once the Flash code has been loaded and the unit is running normally, the yellow 100baseT LED will come on solid if a 100baseT connection is detected and the green LINK OK LED lights when a valid link is established. If the lights do not come on as described, there may be a cabling problem or a bad hub port. If necessary, try a different cable and/or hub port.

NIC Conﬁguration Page

4. Generate a NIC conﬁguration page as described in Chapter 2 to verify that the connection between the printer and the NIC is good. If the test fails, turn the printer off and reinstall the NIC making sure that it is securely seated.

Part No. 6B4389 June 1999 9-1

Page 88

Troubleshooting

Protocol Checks

— If you have a TCP/IP capable system, ping the NIC from

the host operating system prompt with the ping ipaddress command. If a successful response is received, go to the TCP/IP troubleshooting section.

— If you have a Novell system, verify that the NIC can be

seen on the network. Log in as the SUPERVISOR, go into PCONSOLE, select PRINT SERVER INFORMATION, and select the name of the NIC. If you can see Print Server Status and Control in the menu, the NIC is visible to the network. Proceed to the NetWare troubleshooting section.

— If you are running AppleTalk and you have a PostScript

printer, make sure that y ou can see the print server name under the LaserWriter icon in the Chooser. If it is visible, the connection is good. Go to the AppleTalk troubleshooting section.

5. If you cannot make any of the protocol connections, check the following:

Networking Component Checks

— Make sure the printer is powered on and is on line. — V erify that the cabling and netw ork connections are good.

If possible, try the print server on a different connection on the network. Do a printer self-test to see if bytes are being transmitted and received.

— If you using a repeater or hub, make sure that SQE is

turned off at the hub. If you have a hub or multiport repeater, verify that the hub or repeater port is good by trying the print server on a different port.

9-2 Part No. 6B4389 June 1999

Page 89

— If you have a bridge or router located between the print

server and the host computer, make sure that the device is set up to allow the print server to send and receive data from the host. For example, a bridge can be set up to only allow certain types of Ethernet addresses to pass through. Therefore, such a bridge must be conﬁgured to allow NIC addresses. Also , a router can be set up to pass only certain protocols, so make sure that the desired protocol can be passed through to the NIC.

— If the job exits the queue but does not print, make sure

that you are not printing a text job to a PostScript printer. Make sure that the printer is not forced into PostScript mode.

— Make sure that you are not performing an illegal

operation such as attempting to print a job on a paper size not supported by the printer.

Intermittent Problems

If the NIC and printer start up but you intermittently have printing problems, do the following:

Troubleshooting

1. Disable NetWare with the command SET NETWARE DISABLED.

2. Make sure you have enough memory in your computer if you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted or incomplete.

3. Check the individual protocol troubleshooting sections in this chapter for additional causes of intermittent printing problems.

TCP/IP Troubleshooting

If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the print server and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, check the following:

1. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP addresses. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server via the self-test page or through the remote console and make sure that no other nodes on the network

Part No. 6B4389 June 1999 9-3

Page 90

Troubleshooting

have this address. Duplicate IP addresses are the greatest cause of TCP/IP printing problems. If the address is not correct, check if the loading procedure was properly executed.

2. If you used XCONFIG to enter the IP address, make sure that you exited the remote console properly using CTRL-D and that you turned the printer off and then on. It may take up to two minutes for the IP address to take effect.

3. If you used rarp, make sure that y ou started the rarp daemon using the rarpd, rarpd -a, or equivalent command. Verify that the /etc/ethers ﬁle contains the correct Ethernet address and that the print server name matches the name in the/etc/hosts ﬁle.

4. If you used bootp, make sure that bootp is enabled. The # should be removed from the bootp entry.

/etc/inetd.conf. Verify that the /etc/bootptab ﬁle is correctly conﬁgured.

5. Verify that the host computer and the print server are either on the same subnet or that the router is properly conﬁgured to pass data between the two devices.

6. Make sure that the /etc/printcap ﬁle is entered correctly. In particular look for missing “:” and “\” characters because a small error anywhere in the ﬁle can have major consequences. Also, check the /usr/spool directory to make sure that you have created a valid spool directory.

7. If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX, make sure that the daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the command lpc start printer where printer is the name of the local print queue.

8. If you are using an AT&T based Unix operating system, make sure the printer is enabled (enable printer where printer is the name of the local print queue.)

9. Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service is running on the host computer. Refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this.

10. If you cannot print more than one job at a time, increase the IP time out using the SET IP TIMEOUT command.

Troubleshooting

11. If PostScript jobs do not print or run together, set the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 3 (control-D). For example:

SET SERVICE HP_PRINTER EOT 3

12. If you cannot print long jobs (over I MB, add the line mx#0 to your /etc/printcap ﬁle entry.

NOTE: If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug

with long print jobs on the NIC.

NetWare Troubleshooting

If you cannot print from NetWare and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, verify that the NIC is attached to the server queue by going to PCONSOLE selecting PRINT QUEUE INFORMATION and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS. If the NIC does not appear in the list of attached servers, check the following:

1. If you changed the log in password, change the password in both the NIC printer server using the SET NETWARE PASSWORD command and in the ﬁle server using the PCONSOLE Print Server Information Change Password command.

2. Make sure that you have enabled at least one NetWare ﬁle server using the SET NETWARE SERVER servername ENABLED command.

3. Check if you have exceeded your NetWare user limit.

4. Make sure that the print server name you used in PCONSOLE exactly matches the name that is conﬁgured in the NIC server and make sure it is deﬁned as a Queue Server for the print queue.

5. If you are running both 802.3 and Ethernet II frames on different ﬁle servers on your network, the NIC print server may not make a connection to the desired ﬁle server. Force the frame type to the desired one using the SET NETWARE FRAME command from the Print server remote console.

6. If you are losing portions of your print job, set the TIMEOUT parameter in your CAPTURE statement to a higher value—at least 50 seconds for Windows.

AppleTalk Troubleshooting

If you cannot print from a Macintosh computer with AppleTalk, check the following:

1. Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and that you have selected the correct network interface from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh.

2. If you have a large network, make sure that you have the AdobePS, LaserWriter 8.xx, or equivalent driver since earlier versions may cause PostScript errors. Verify that you get the correct printer information when you select Printer Info from the Setup button in the Chooser.

3. Make sure that you have selected the correct Printer Description File from the Chooser.

4. Verify that you selected the correct AppleTalk zone. Because the NIC receives its zone inf ormation from router broadcasts, it may not be in the zone you expect and will not show up in the Choose. You may need to force the zone name with the SET APPLETALK ZONE command.

5. If you are running an old version of Macintosh OS, verify that the Laser Prep versions on all Macintosh computers that need to print to the NIC are the same.

Windows NT Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing with Windows NT, check the following:

1. Make sure that you can ping the NIC using the DOS command PING of the NIC.

2. Make sure that TCP/IP is installed and running on the Windows NT system.

Troubleshooting

3. If you cannot print to the NIC from a client PC that is connected to a Windows NTAS ﬁle server, verify that y ou can print directly from DOS. If you can print from the ﬁle server but not from the client, the problem is probably with the NetBEUI communications rather than with the TCP/IP link to the NIC. Check your ﬁle server network setup to make sure that you can print from the client to other printers on the network.

Windows Peer-to-Peer Troubleshooting

If you cannot print on a Windows Peer-to-P eer network, check the following:

Peer to Peer using NetBEUI

If the print server does not show up in the Network Neighborhood on a Windows Peer-to-Peer network, remove the Windows network software for netBEUI from the Network Control panel and then reinstall it.

— Install the NetBEUI Protocol, the client for Microsoft

Networks, and the network adapter card driver.

Peer to Peer using IPX

If the print server does not show up under JetAdmin on a Windows Peer-to-Peer network, remove the Windows network software from the Network Control panel and then reinstalling it as follows:

— Install the IPX/SPX-Compatible Protocol, the client for

Microsoft Networks, and the network adapter card driver.

— Restart the system, and add the HP JetAdmin service.

Appendix A NIC Services

Overview

A service is a resource for the Kodak Professional network interface card (NIC) that must be selected by computers conﬁgured to print to a NIC. The NIC provides the following predeﬁned services as defaults (xxxxxx is the last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address):

Service Port Filter BOT EOT OPT Protocols

KOD_xxxxxx_P1 BINARY_P1 * TEXT_P1 POSTSCRIPT_P1 RASTER_P1

KOD_xxxxxx_P1_AT

P1 0 1 1 BQ NW, NB, IP P1 0 1 1 BQ IP P1 1 1 1 BQ IP P1 0 1 1 BQ IP P1 0 1 1 BQ IP P1 2 1 1 BQ AT

Use the default services for the NIC used in typical Windows and Macintosh networked environments. Howe ver , it ma y be desirab le to modify a service name to reﬂect something more meaningful to users when browsing a network for a Kodak printer.

• Service TEXT_P1 is not applicable to Kodak PostScript/raster

printers and should not be used.

• Port P1 is the representation of the NIC’s interface port to the

printer. Since there is only one interface, P1 is the only option.

• Filter 0 = No ﬁlter. The AppleTalk ﬁlter (#2) is the only pertinent

ﬁlter that must be used to deﬁne an AppleTalk compatible service, KOD_xxxxxx_P1_AT.

• BOT & EOT = 1 = “Null String”. This means that there are no

Beginning or End Of Transfer command strings associated with any of the default services.

• Options = Bidirectional and queueing are enabled for all

services.

Part No. 6B4389 June 1999 A-1

Page 96

Appendix A NIC Services

• Protocols = NetWare, NetBEUI, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk are the

protocols that Kodak supports for this NIC. (Do not be alarmed with references to LAT & DLC protocols. You may wish to disable LAT and DLC protocols, but this is not necessary for proper NIC operation with other protocols.)

Environment/Protocol

For Netware environments , the KOD_xxxxxx_P1 identiﬁer should appear in Network Neighborhood as a resource.

For NetBEUI environments, the KOD_xxxxxx_P1 identiﬁer should appear in Network Neighborhood under a default domain called WorkGroup as a resource. If a different domain name exists for your environment, the NetBEUI domain parameter must be modiﬁed to reﬂect it.

For TCP/IP environments, it is necessary to select any NIC service with IP enabled as the remote printer queue name (any service except Text_P1 and KOD_xxxxxx_P1_AT).

For AppleTalk environments, select an AppleTalk related service, for example, KOD_xxxxxx_P1_AT.

BOT/EOT Strings

The following begin of transfer and end of transfer strings are included here for reference only.

Filters

A ﬁlter is a program built into the NIC that performs a speciﬁc function. Four ﬁlters are available. The only ﬁlter pertinent to this

NIC used in Kodak printers is the AppleTalk ﬁlter(#2).

Filter No. Description

1 Substitutes one user-speciﬁed character

string for another character string. By default it adds a carriage return character plus a line feed character every time a line feed character is encountered in the data stream. It is useful for printing Unix text ﬁles because these ﬁles do not have carriage

returns at the end of lines. 2 Default AppleTalk ﬁlter (no binary support) 3 Converts a text ﬁle to P ostScript f or use with

PostScript only printers. Requires V3.27 or

later ﬁrmware. 4 Allows AppleTalk binary ﬁles to be printed

on any printer that supports the HP Tagged

Binary Communications Protocol

Appendix B Command Summary

Command line input applies to the use of the following NIC conﬁguration mechanisms:

• XConfig

• Telnet

• Terminal on NIC Serial Port When connecting to the NIC, you get a message such as

Console Connected or Remote Console Reserved when you are connected. Press RETURN, type the password ACCESS when you get the # prompt, and type anything in response to the Enter Username prompt. Enter commands at the Local>prompt.

NOTE: The commands available are generally a subset of the

commands used on terminal servers. There is no distinction between the SET and DEFINE commands or between the CLEAR and PURGE commands. When you type CTRL-D to exit the remote console, any of these commands take effect, and the results are stored permanently. It is not necessary to enter both a SET and a DEFINE to execute a command and save the results.
