2-4 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997
Making the Jumper Selections
JP1/JP2 Factory Settings (Both Jumpers On)
JP1 and JP2 are two small black jumpers near the right side in
the middle of the Network Interface Card. When the card is
shipped, each jumper is positioned across both sets of pins (ON).
This allows for both remote Telnet diagnostic monitoring and
normal operation/printing with 10BaseT.
Cable Autodetection (Both Jumpers Off)
The connection autosensing feature automatically senses the
presence of a 10BaseT connection. If no 10BaseT connection is
sensed, a 10Base2 (BNC) connection is assumed. However,
Telnet capability is disabled.
JP1/JP2 - selection of cable connection manually
Telnet and cable autodetection modes are the recommended use
of the JP1/JP2 jumpers.
However, the cable type can also be selected manually. The
jumpers are positioned to match the locations of the two ports. If
you look at the Network Interface Card ports on the back of the
printer, the right port is for twisted pair, 10BaseT (RJ45) cabling.
The right jumper corresponds to that connector and is labeled
JP1. The left port is for ThinNet, 10Base2 (BNC) cabling. The left
jumper corresponds to that connector, and is labeled JP2.
Installing the Hardware
• For manual selection, lift the jumper for the appropriate
cable connector up and off the pin and then push it back
down over both pins . This specifies the particular connector
that will be in use.
NOTE: Move only the jumper for the cable connector type that
will be used. The other jumper must remain on one pin.
Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 2-5
Installing the Hardware
LINK Jumper Selection (Non-10BaseT)
The enlarged view in the illustration shows the jumper labeling as
viewed from behind the printer looking toward the front.
NOTE: Complete these steps only if link test integrity needs to
be enabled and your cabling is non-10BaseT.
If you have non-10BaseT twisted pair cabling, such as AT&T or
HP STARLAN, you may need to enable the link test integrity
function from the 10BaseT transceiver by changing the LINK
jumper on the Network Interface Card.
1. Find the small black jumper labeled “LINK” near the right front
side of the Network Interface Card.
This is the LINK jumper. When the Network Interface Card is
shipped, this jumper is positioned on only one of the two pins.
This specifies that the link test integrity is disabled.
2. Lift the black jumper up and off the pin and then push it back
down over both pins.
2-6 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997
See the illustration below for LINK jumper enabled/disabled
positions.
Installing the Network Interface Card

Finish up the installation by closing the printer:
1. Grasp the black handles on the back of the printer and slide
the back of the printer in.
2. Using the Phillips-head screwdriver, replace the five screws
you removed.
3. Attach the Ethernet cable to the appropriate connector on the
Network Interface Card.
Installing the Hardware
4. Plug in the printer, and turn it on. Make sure the power light
illuminates on the display panel.
5. When the printer completes initialization and the front display/
control panel displays the message “READY ,” check the LEDs
for the Network Interface Card for the following indications.
The LEDs are located on the back of the printer.
• The yellow LED should be on and stable indicating correct
10BaseT connectivity between the printer and the Network
Interface Card and the network hub switch.
NOTE: Check the condition of the yellow light only if you are
using 10BaseT. It has no validity for ThinNet
connections.
If the yellow light does not illuminate or is unstable, check
for proper 10BaseT connectivity.
Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 2-9
Installing the Hardware
If the connectivity is correct and the yellow light blinks or
does not illuminate, the Network Interface Card may be
defective.
NOTE: The condition of the green LED is relevant for both
10BaseT and 10Base2 connectivity.
• Check that the green LED blinks intermittently as a
detection of network traffic. If the green light does not blink
intermittently, the Network Interface Card could be
defective.

4 Network Printer Parameters
This section discusses parameters within the printer related to
IPX, AppleTalk and TCP/IP network protocols and methods for
modifying parameters from both Macintosh and PC platforms.
We recommend that you use the default parameters where
applicable and especially when troubleshooting configuration
problems.
Modifying Printer Parameters
You can change some parameters from the printer’s front display/
control panel and others by downloading PostScript command
jobs to the printer. Y ou can download PostScript command files by
doing the following:
• From a Macintosh over a Network or by using LocalTalk—You
can download the pertinent control <filename>.ps using the
LaserWriter Font Utility.
• From Windows through a network port—With DOS
commands, you can map a network queue to an LPT port by
using Capture with Windows 3.x or Netlink with Windows NT
\SERVER\ QUEUE LPT# and then download the pertinent
control <filename>.ps using COPY <filename>.ps LPT#.
Network Printer Parameters
This method is suggested assuming that a network
connection to the printer already exists and that you are using
a PC that supports network port mapping to an LPT port.
• From Windows through a parallel port—With DOS commands,
you can download the pertinent control <filename>.ps using
COPY <filename>.ps LPT#.
Printer Parameters - Factory Default
If some parameters have been changed from the defaults and
you find it necessary to return to factory default parameters, you
can reset the printer to factory defaults using the printer’s front
display/control panel by using the f ollowing procedure. This resets
all changeable parameters such as AppleTalk name,
AppleTalkZone, IP address, and preferred server name. Refer to
the appropriate sections of this manual for more information.

that point, the printer only uses the frametype that was
successful.
Use the following procedure to select a specific printer IPX
frametype from the printer’s front display/control panel. If your
network has multiple file servers that use different frame types,
you may want to select the frametype that the primary server will
use. Selectable frametypes are:
• AutoSelect 802.2
• AutoSelect 802.3
• Ethernet 2
• SNAP
NOTE: If you are setting up a
Color Proofer 9000, refer to the user’s guide for the
Network Interface Card shipped with the proofer for
specific instructions on using the display/control panel.

Primary/Preferred Server
The primary or preferred server is the name of the file server that
contains the KSETUP configuration file for Novell environments.
In most environments it may not be necessary to define a
preferred server (factory default setting). If you have any
problems, you should define the preferred server as a
troubleshooting precaution.
NOTE: In environments with hundreds of servers, the printer
logs in to the preferred server instantly (seconds) instead
of potentially searching through hundreds of servers
(minutes) to find the KSETUP file. In an en vironment with
only one server, you may find it necessary to define that
server as the preferred server.
The following utilities are provided with your Novell Utilities
diskette for downloading a primary server name to your printer:
• PSSERVER.PS for defining a primary server with the printer
in PostScript mode.

Network Printer Parameters
• RSSERVER.EXE f or defining a primary server with the printer
in Raster mode.
• CNTL_D file must be appended to the configuration files that
are downloaded through the parallel printer port.
If a Macintosh system is availab le on the network, these Windows
utility files could be transferred to the Macintosh and then
downloaded to the printer over the network using the LaserWriter
Downloader Utility. This method avoids the additional necessity
for a parallel I/F to the printer from a PC.
Primary Server For PostScript Printers
To define the primary NetWare server for a PostScript printer in
PostScript mode, do the following steps:
1. Edit the PSSERVER.PS file from the Utilities for Novell
diskette.
2. In the third line of the file, replace the phrase “PUT YOUR
SERVER NAME HERE” with the name of the primary
NetWare server where the KSETUP configuration file
resides.
Make sure that the ( ) in (PUTYOURSERVERNAMEHERE)
are not removed.
NOTE: The primary server name is case sensitive.
3. Save and exit the file.
4. Send the file to the printer through a port such as the parallel
port. The following command is an example of sending the
file to the printer using the parallel port. The CNTL_D file is
found on the Utilities for No vell disk ette and is only necessary
if the file is downloaded using the parallel port.
COPY PSSERVER.PS + CNTL_D LPT1:
5. Once the file has been sent to the printer, power cycle the
printer to allow the change to take effect.
Primary Server for Raster Printers
To define the primary NetWare server for a Raster printer, do the
following steps:
1. Execute the RSSERVER program from the Utilities for Novell
diskette by typing RSSERVER at the command line.
