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
