• Is deﬁned as a standard NetWare interface and is accessed

with NetWare print utilities.

• Conﬁgures servers and queues using PCONSOLE.

• Uses standard NetWare print utilities

• Services up to 16 queues on 16 NetWare ﬁle servers

Features of the Network Interface Card with AppleTalk

AppleTalk protocol may be used by Macintosh, Novell, and Windows NT systems.

NOTE: Printing in raster mode using AppleTalk is possible from a

Macintosh only.

• From the Macintosh, the Network Interface Card operates as

an AppleTalk node on Ethernet. The printer emulates a LaserWriter. In PostScript mode, select the printer from the Chooser, and print to it as if printing to a LaserWriter. In Raster mode, select the printer from the export module, and print to it.

• For non-Macintosh systems using AppleTalk, only PostScript

printing is supported. Raster mode printing can only be accomplished with IPX or TCP/IP print queues.

The following are features of the Network Interface Card when it is used with AppleTalk:

• Operates as an AppleTalk node on Ethernet.

• Emulates a LaserWriter in PostScript mode. Advertises itself

as a Kodak_Raster device in Raster mode.

• Supports both EtherTalk Phase 1 and Phase 2.

• Operates in multizone networks.

which hold the slot cover for the Network Interface Card in place. Remove the slot cover and set it aside.

7. Remove the Network Interface Card from the antistatic bag.

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

Do the following steps to install and seat the Network Interface Card:

1. Hold the card so that the connector is on the bottom and the cable receptacles are toward you.

Installing the Hardware

2. Tilt the card at about a 30-degree angle, and slide the front into the slot you opened.

Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 2-7

Installing the Hardware

The cable receptacles should extend through the front of the slot.

3. Seat the card by positioning the connector on the bottom of the card against the receptacle on the mother board. Press it gently into place.

4. Secure the card connector plate to the printer connector plate by replacing the three screws you removed from the slot cover.

2-8 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997

Finishing up

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.

2-10 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997

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.

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.

• 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.

Utilities For Printers in Raster Mode

Kodak Raster Printer Utility— Macintosh utility used to rename the printer in Raster mode. This is the printer name as it appears when using the speciﬁc printer’s export module in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop.

AppleTalk Zone

Default: * (Physical Zone assigned to cable segment) We recommend that you use the default zone. The only time you

would use a different zone name is if the default physical zone were subdivided into logical zones.

If there are routers on your network, the printer is assigned to the default zone named by the router.

Each time the printer initializes, it attempts to acquire the zone name that is deﬁned in the printer's nonvolatile RAM. If it cannot ﬁnd it, the printer is placed in a default zone. If there are routers on your network, the printer acquires its zone name from the router.

The printer must be operating in PostScript mode when you change the zone. Once the procedure is complete, the zone is applicable for both PostScript and Raster modes.

Set_EtherTalk_Zone.PS—Utility which renames the printer zone in PostScript mode. This is the zone that the printer appears in as a PostScript printer in the Chooser or similar PC/AppleTalk ZoneName window. Edit the ﬁle to modify the zone parameter, save the ﬁle, and download the ﬁle to the printer.

Edit the ﬁle so that your zone name is substituted for “YourZoneNameGoesHere.” No other parts of the ﬁle should be altered. Be careful not to insert any nonprinting characters in this ﬁle, or errors will occur during the download. If there are syntax errors in the ﬁle, the printer returns an error message through the LaserWriter Font Utility and the zone name are not changed.

Changing the Printer’s Zone

1. Make sure the printer is in PostScript mode.

2. Open the Set_EtherTalk_Zone.PS ﬁle on the Macintosh Printer Driver installation disk.

Section 5: Determine printer modes of operation, PostScript and/ or Raster, to be used based on the model of printer. Install the corresponding PostScript and/or Raster mode software. Refer to appropriate platform speciﬁc sections based on their anticipated use as print servers and/or user workstations.

For print servers (indirect printing), conﬁgure the printer on a pertinent server platform using the desired protocol.

For user workstations, conﬁgure the printer to use a Novell server’s print queue (indirect printing).

Novell NetWare - Overview

You should be familiar with the system administrative tasks for your system including the PCONSOLE utility. You may conﬁgure the printer for use with Novell NetWare using Novell’s standard IPX protocol or with Novell NetWare using AppleTalk protocol. Refer to the “AppleTalk-Novell” section for more information.

Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 6-1

Novell NetWare

With NetWare, the printer operates as a print server and reads requests from NetWare servers. The printer can service 16 queues on 16 ﬁle servers and poll successive queues every second.

You can print to the printer with standard Novell print utilities such as NPRINT or from Microsoft Windows applications.

Novell NetWare IPX - Overview

To use Novell IPX, you must create a conﬁguration ﬁle using the KSETUP.EXE utility included on the Novell utilities diskette.

If you have more than 20 servers, we recommend that you specify a primary server (server with KSETUP ﬁle) so that the Network Interface Card can do a more efﬁcient search for the server/KSETUP ﬁle.

The default frametype setting is AUTOSELECT. You may have to specify a speciﬁc IPX FrameType from the printer’s front control/ display panel if you have servers using different frametypes. Complete the remaining server and queue conﬁguration steps using the Novell PCONSOLE utility.

When using Novell IPX, one user license is required because the printer/Network Interface Card logs into the server being serviced.

Novell NetWare AppleTalk - Overview

To use Novell’s AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS), an ATPS.CFG ﬁle must be edited appropriately to deﬁne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Novell AppleTalk Advantages over Novell IPX

The use of Novell ATPS does not require conﬁguration steps using PCONSOLE, steps to specify a primary server, or steps to specify a frametype. ATPS does not require a user license, and performance differences between the use of IPX and AppleTalk are negligible. Refer to the documentation for AppleTalk, Novell NetWare for more information.

The disadvantage of using Novell AppleTalk over Novell IPX is that you cannot print in Raster mode using ATPS over the Novell server. Only Macintosh systems can printer in Raster mode using AppleTalk.

6-2 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997

NOTE: Novell AppleTalk only recognizes the printer when it is in

PostScript mode. Raster mode printing cannot be accommodated. You must set up an IPX queue to support both PostScript and Raster mode printing.

Novell NetWare - IPX - 3.x/4.x Servers

Novell NetWare IPX - Printer Parameters

You may set up or modify network printing parameters over Novell NetWare IPX for frametype and preferred server. Frametype is set up from the printer’s front display/control panel and by downloading a PostScript command ﬁle to set up a preferred server.

It should not be necessary to modify these parameters from factory defaults of Frametype = AutoSelect and Preferred Server = Undeﬁned. This function is provided for efﬁciency in varying customer environments.

Refer to “Network Printer Parameters” for information on setting up all printer parameters for the various protocols.

Novell NetWare

Creating and Editing the IPX KSETUP Configuration File

Some procedures in this section vary, depending on whether you are running Novell NetWare 3.x or 4.x. Complete the procedures appropriate for your site.

You must create a conﬁguration ﬁle using the KSETUP.EXE program from the Novell Utilities diskette. This conﬁguration ﬁle should reside on only one ﬁle server. You can modify the ﬁle as necessary to change the queues or servers that the printer services.

Upon startup, the printer tries to read a conﬁguration ﬁle from the available servers. If a primary server is deﬁned, it will start with that server. It looks in the \login\kodak directory for a ﬁle named kxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Network Interface Card’s Ethernet address.

NOTE: For printers in PostScript mode, make a test print; and

make a note of the hardware address of the installed Network Interface Card.

Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 6-3

Novell NetWare

Do the following steps to create the KSETUP conﬁguration ﬁle:

1. Log in to the ﬁle server as ADMIN in the main context.

2. Change to the \login directory on the ﬁle server.

3. Create a Kodak directory by entering the command:

md kodak

4. Change to the new directory by entering the command:

cd kodak

5. Insert the Utilities for Novell setup disk into the A drive. Copy the Utilities for Nov ell setup disk into the directory by entering the command

copy a:*.*

6. Run the KSETUP program using the command syntax below:

KSETUP /e=<NICaddress> /s=<server> /q=<queue> / p=<printserver>

where <NICaddress> is the last six digits of the printer's Ethernet

Network Interface Card’s hardware address. <server> -is the name of the ﬁle server. <queue> -is the name of the print queue the printer will

service. <printserver> -is the name of the printer/Network Interface

Card.

NetWare 3.X: <printserver>

<printserver> can be anything you want to call the printer.

6-4 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997

Novell NetWare

NetWare 4.X: <printserver>

<printserver> is deﬁned by combining the letter K with the last six digits in the printer’s Ethernet Network Interface Card address.

For example , if your printer’ s Network Interface Card Ethernet address is 00:40:C8:02:EE:44, the ﬁle server is FSERVER, the print queue is PTRQ, and the print server name is K02EE44, you would enter the following

KSETUP /e=02EE44 /s=FSERVER /q=PTRQ /p=k02EE44

This command would add the following line to the conﬁguration ﬁle called K02EE44:

FSERVER:PTRQ:K02EE44:::

7. If more than one ﬁle server sends ﬁles to the printer or if more than one queue is set up on a ﬁle server, use a text editor to modify the conﬁguration ﬁle and add a line similar to the one below for each server and/or queue.

<File Server Name>: <Queue Name>: <Print Server Name>:::

Additional KSETUP ﬁle lines might look like:

FSERVER:PTRQ2:K02EE44::: FSERVER2:PTRQ:K02EE44:::

Creating Novell NetWare Print Servers and Queues

The Network Interface Card logs in to NetWare ﬁle servers and attaches to NetWare print queues. It then prints the jobs that it can read from the server.

To print with the Network Interface Card, you must deﬁne the card as a print server. You can create new queues or pick existing queues and then enable the print server, the Network Interface Card, to service the queues.

Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 6-5

Novell NetWare

The following example creates a print server: ps1 (K123458 for NetWare 4.x) and a queue: lp1 on the server: raisa. You could create subsequent queues on raisa that use the same print server, ps1. The printer can serve multiple queues on any server.

Deﬁning the Network Interface Card as a Print Server

Do the following steps to deﬁne the Network Interf ace Card in the printer as a print server. You only need to do this once on each ﬁle server that will access the printer.

1. Log in to the ﬁle server as SUPERVISOR/ADMIN in the main context, then run the NetWare PCONSOLE utility.

If Novell’s AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS) is not already in use, consult the Novell CD-ROM on-line documentation for setup and use of ATPS. To use ATPS for the Kodak printer, an ATPS.CFG ﬁle must be edited appropriately to deﬁne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Novell AppleTalk Advantages over Novell IPX

The disadvantage of using Novell AppleTalk over Novell IPX is that you cannot print in Raster mode using ATPS over the Novell server. Only Macintosh systems can print in Raster mode using AppleTalk.

NOTE: Novell AppleTalk only recognizes the printer when it is in

PostScript mode. Raster mode printing cannot be accommodated. You must set up an IPX queue to support both PostScript and Raster mode printing.

Novell NetWare - AppleTalk - Printer Parameters

You can set up and modify the Phase Type, AppleTalkZone, and AppleTalkName parameters for network printing over Novell NetWare AppleTalk. Set up the Phase Type from the printer’s front display/control panel, and download PostScript command ﬁles to set up the AppleTalkZone and AppleTalkName. It should not be necessary to modify these parameters from the factory defaults, Phase Type = Phase II, AppleTalk Zone = *. The AppleTalk Name is the printer name; such as, Kodak DS 8650 PS.

Refer to “Network Printer Parameters” for information on setting up all printer parameters for the various protocols.

To use Novell ATPS, an atps.cfg ﬁle must be edited appropriately to deﬁne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Setting up Windows 3.x Workstations to use TCP/IP from PC-NFS

The Network Interface Card was designed as a direct network interface for printers in UNIX environments that support the line printer daemon (lpd). However, it also works with PC/TCPcompatible software, such as PC/TCP FTP, and with VMS™ systems that support (lpd).

PC-NFS enables DOS users sharing printers attached to hosts or to PCs. PC-NFS users can access the printer through their UNIX PC-NFS server and print jobs at the rated speed of the printer.

Do the following steps to set up a shared printer:

1. Install PC-NFS on your PC. See your PC-NFS installation guide for instructions.

7-2 Part No. 1H9613 June 1997

Windows 3.x Workstations

2. Set up a PC-NFS server as described in the PC-NFS installation guide. Make sure that the server runs the PC-NFS daemon rpc.pcnfsd.

3. Set up a printer on the PC-NFS server as described in the sections in this guide on UNIX systems.

4. Edit the server’s /etc/exports ﬁle and add the print spool directory to the list of directories being exported to the PCs running PC-NFS.

Make sure that the PCs have read and write access to this directory. If the spool directory is not exported, PC-NFS will not mount the printer.

5. Update the list of exported directories using the command:

exportfs -a

6. Mount this printer using either the nfsconf program or the following command:

NOTE: Enter the command on one line without returns.

net use <print device>: <host>:<printer name> [/option [/ option]...]

NOTE: The print device can be either lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. The host

is the server name, and the printername is the name assigned to the printer.

7. Use the net printers command to see a list of printers: attached to the server.

net printers <servername>

8. Select raw mode of data transfer while mounting a printer in PC-NFS for printing PostScript ﬁles.

Raster Mode Considerations

NOTE: The export module for NT only supports Raster mode

printing using TCP/IP or IPX (Novell) queues. NT AppleTalk printing will not recognize the printer in Raster mode because the printer advertises itself as a Kodak_Raster device instead of a LaserWriter device. Therefore, AppleTalk printing will limit the use of the printer to PostScript mode printing only.

A workstation can be conﬁgured as a pseudo-server when using TCP/IP to service a printer by also sharing the printer and assigning a queue name. The same workstation can then select itself as a server and the shared queue for either PostScript or Raster mode printing.

Windows NT Servers and Workstations

Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may encounter problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by K odak. When in doubt, refer to the K odak web site for availability and the latest versions of drivers. Refer to “Getting Help” for information on how to access the Kodak web site.

We recommend that you install the printer driver and/or the export module on each server and workstation on your network. When you set up the servers for sharing, install only the software relevant to the operating system for the server.

Direct Printing

We recommended that an NT server be conﬁgured to service printers with TCP/IP since both PostScript and Raster mode printing is supported by TCP/IP server/queues. An AppleTalk server/queue only supports PostScript mode printing.

We recommend that workstations print indirectly using a server queue.

A printer is conﬁgured on an NT server in the same manner as conﬁguring a printer on an NT workstation except that on an NT server, the printer is shared and assigned a queue name.

Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 9-3

Windows NT 3.51Workstations and Servers

When a printer is shared on a server, do not select other Windows systems that will use the queue. Drivers should be installed locally on all systems serviced by a server. You may encounter problems when trying to download copies of a driver from the server to a workstation.

Indirect Printing (Printing through a Server)

From the workstation, browse the netw ork and selects a pertinent server and queue.

Even though workstations may be conﬁgured to print directly to a printer using TCP/IP or AppleTalk, we recommend that workstations print indirectly by selecting a TCP/IP server queue for optimal resource utilization.

NT Server Queues

On NT servers, you may encounter corruption of data when printing ﬁles over 5 Mbytes which have been exhibited by the occurrences of color bands across the printed image. This condition can be corrected by setting up server properties to accept the entire print job before passing the ﬁle on to the printer. “Job Prints While Spooling” must be deselected.
