■ Network setting procedures
Before using the KN-302 Network Interface Card, you must first connect the KN-302 to the networ k and
then perform the setup procedures for the KN-302 and printer . The setup procedures depend on the system
environment.
To connect the KN-302 to the network use the KN-302’s Ethernet connector (RJ45) and a UTP cable (of
category 5, recommended).
● Windows 95/98 configuration (peer-to-peer)
To print over LAN (Local Area Network) in Windows 95/98, with no print servers installed, you can link your
printers with a configuration called peer-to-peer connection. In peer-to-peer connections , TCP/IP and IPX/
SPX protocols are used, each with a dedicated utility program. Setup procedures are as follows:
For IP peer-to-peer connections
1.Using BOOTP Lite or the arp command, assign IP address to the KN-302.
2.Using Web Utilities, make the KN-302 TCP/IP settings.
3.Make TCP/IP settings on your computer (Windows 95/98).
4.Install IP-P2P from the accompanying CD-ROM.

Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer
■ General description of the network setup
With the KN-302, there are five ways to print over TCP/IP.
• Use IP/P2P in peer-to-peer printing setup via Windows 95/98
• Use IPX/P2P in peer-to-peer printing setup via Windows 95/98
• Use LPD/LPR via Windows NT4.0/2000
• Use lpd/lpr via UNIX
• Use UNIX-TCP/IP Programs via UNIX
● Assigning IP Address
Before printing over TCP/IP, you first need to assign the IP address to the KN-302. There are six ways to
assign the IP address to the KN-302.
• Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for automatic IP address assignment
• Use BOOTP Lite from Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000 for assigning a specific IP address
• Use the arp (Address Resolution Protocol) command from Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000 for assigning a
specific IP address
• Use the arp (Address Resolution Protocol) command from UNIX for assigning a specific IP address
• Use MAP (Management Access Program) for assigning a specific IP address
• Use NIManage from Macintosh for assigning a specific IP address
When initially connecting the KN-302 to networks that are not using DHCP, you need to confirm the follo wing information:
• IP address to assign to the KN-302
• Network address of the KN-302 (MAC address or Ethernet address)
Check with the network administrator for the IP address assigned to the KN-302.The KN-302's network
(MAC) address is found on the Status P age (network setup list). It is also indicated on the label on the KN-
302. The Status Page is output when starting the Konica 7075 equipped with KN-302.
Using DHCP
For networks on which IP addresses managed by a DHCP server, the IP address is automatically
assigned to each KN-302. For more information how to use DHCP, refer to “Information for the TCP/
IP network administrator in Appendix-5”.

Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer
Using BOOTP Lite (Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000)
From Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000, you can use the BOOTP Lite program to assign the IP address to
the KN-302. TCP/IP must be set up correctly on the computer that will execute this program. To copy/
install the program files in the Windows directory perform the following procedure:
1.Reset the IP-601.
The BOOTP Lite program uses the BOOTP protocol. The BOOTP request is for a finite
period of time the IP-601 must be freshly reset for this to work.
2.Double click the Bootpl32.exe icon using the [Explorer].
3.Pull down the [Admin] menu to [Configure] option.
4.Enter the [IP address] that you want to assign to the KN-302, its [Subnet Mask] (make sure it
matches what you are using on your subnet), [Default Gateway] (your router's IP address),
and the [MAC address] of the KN-302.
Use colons as delimiters as shown on the Status Page rather than the dashes Windows uses.
5.Click on Go.
6.Wait about five minutes. The KN-302 should recycle and produce a Status Page showing the
IP parameters you have just entered.
7.Pull down the [Admin] menu to [V erify].
You should get a message back stating that [The Unit is Active]. If you do not get this message , verify
that TCP/IP is enabled on the Status Page.
8.When you get a response that the unit is active, you should be able to ping the KN-302.
Using arp command (Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000)
From Windows 95/98 MS-DOS prompt or at Windo ws NT4.0/2000 command prompt, you can use the
arp command to assign the IP address to the KN-302. It is necessary that TCP/IP is set up correctly on
the computer that will execute the arp command. Perform the following procedure:
1.At Windows 95/98, select [MS-DOS prompt] from the [Start] menu. At Windows NT4.0/2000,
select [Command prompt] from the [Start] menu.
2.Execute the arp command. For example, if the KN-302's MAC address is 00:11:22:33:44:55
and the IP address to assign is 192.168.0.128, then input as shown below, and then press
[Enter].
3.Execute the ping command for the assigned IP address. In this case no response is returned
from the KN-302.
(Example: C:\>ping 192.168.0.128
4.Turn off the main power supply to the Konica 7075, then turn it back on.
A Status Page will be output. Check that the IP address is correctly set in the list. Or, when about 5
minutes have passed after ha ving restarted the Konica 7075 using the ping command, check that the
KN-302 Network Interface Card 2-3
Page 14
Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer
KN-302 responds correctly. The ping command is also e xecuted at Windows 95/98 MS-DOS prompt
or Windows NT4.0/2000 Command prompt. The example of executing the ping command is shown
below:
(Example: C:\>ping 192.168.0.128
Using arp command (UNIX)
From UNIX you can use the arp command to assign the IP address to the KN-302. Perform the
following procedure:
1.Turn off the printer/copier.
2.Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the KN-302. However, if the server
resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the KN-302.
3.Find the MAC address of the KN-302. The address is printed on the Status Page each time you
turn on the printer/copier.
4.Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and KN-302’s
node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a KN-302 with a
name of printfast and an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.Add an entry to the arp cache for the KN-302’s IP address and MAC address, as:
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
RS6000 (AIX) requires the ether option after arp -s. For example:
arp -s ether 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
6.Check the IP-601 to see that the KN-302 is connected to the network. Turn on the printer/
copier.
7.Send a ping command the KN-302 to verify it is running on the network, as for example:
ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast
The KN-302 will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP address from the
packets.
8.T urn off the printer/copier and back on a gain and then send the ping command again to verify
that the KN-302 obtained its IP address. A confirmation message displays as:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9.Remove the entry from the arp cache using the follo wing command. Specify the KN-302 either
by its IP address or by its name, for example:
arp -d printfast
Using MAP
By using MAP (Management Access Program) included the CD-ROM that comes with the KN-302,
you can automatically identify the KN-302 on the network and set it up for TCP/IP by using Web
Utilities. T o use this method to assign the IP address to the KN-302, the follo wing procedure should be
performed on computers in advance:
• TCP/IP correctly configured
• IPX/SPX-compatible protocol installed
• MAP installed and MAP setup correctly executed
2-4 KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 15
Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer
About how to set up TCP/IP and how to install IPX/SPX-compatible protocol, refer to Windows Help
menus for example. For MAP, refer to “Using MAP (Management Access Program)” in this chapter.
To change an IP address already assigned to a KN-302, you cannot use the arp command.
Use W eb Utilities or BOOTP Lite program instead. These methods also allow you to set up
subnet mask and default gateway, etc.
Using NIManage
Refer to “Chapter 7 AppleTalk Configuration”.
● Accessing W eb Utilities
The KN-302 is provided with an HTTP server having Web Utilities. By accessing this ser ver, you can
change settings of the KN-302 itself and the IP-601. There are two ways to access W eb Utilities, through a
Web Browser, either through Netscape Navigator, version 4.x or greater or through Internet Explorer, version 4.x or greater.
• Use MAP to have KN-302 on the networks identified automatically, thereby accessing Web Utilities.
• Use a Web Browser to type the IP address assigned to the KN-302, and thereb y access the W eb Utilities.
For example:
http://192.168.0.128/
If you designate the proxy setting in y our W eb Browser you can not access the Web Utilities .
For more information see your network administrator.
KN-302 Network Interface Card 2-5
Page 16
Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer
■ Using MAP (Management Access Program)
A utility called MAP is provided on the CD-ROM that comes with the KN-302.
This program automatically identifies KN-302s on the networks and lists them on Web Browser screen.
From this Web Browser list you can select a KN-302 to change its settings and control Web Utilities.
● Prerequisites for Installation
MAP is a utility that runs on Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000. It identifies KN-302s on the networks and achiev es
connection with HTTP servers implemented on KN-302s. The MAP itself has no interface, so either of the
following Web Browsers is required as an interface:
• Netscape Navigator (version 4.x or greater)
• Interment Explorer (version 4.x or greater)
It is necessary that TCP/IP be configured beforehand both on the KN-302s and on the Windows capable
computers. It is also necessary that an IPX protocol be set up to identify IPX-based KN-302s.
● Installing MAP
Perform the following steps to install MAP:
1.Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and double-c lick on [Setup.ex e] in the [Map] folder .
2.A setup program will start. Confirm the display, and click on the [Next] button.
3.Confirm a folder to install MAP. By default, the folder is C:\Program Files\MAP . When clicking
on the [Next] button, necessary files are copied, and then installation is completed.
● Setting up MAP
As a result of executing the MAP setup prog ram, tw o programs , “MAP Setup” and “MAP” are installed. The
MAP Setup is a program to set up a necessary environment for MAP which identifies KN-302s. Ex ecute this
MAP Setup program first.
To star t the MAP Setup program, select [Start]-->[Program]-->[Map]-->[MAP Setup]. When the program
starts, the following display will appear.
2-6 KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 17
Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer
At the MAP Setup stage, you need to specify protocols used by KN-302s and a maximum IP hop number.
T o do this, indicate chec k-mark next to [Search for IPX based printers] f or IPX-based KN-302s, and [Search
for IP based printers] for IP-based KN-302s.
When using an IP protocol, specify [MAX Hops for IP Search], in which case you can select a number
between 0 and 15. The default number is set to 2. If you select 0, only segments pertaining to computers,
which restart the MAP, are found. If y ou select 2, all netw orks which are accessible passing through two or
less routers are found. Note that selecting a large number can result in the occurrence of a large number of
traffics at a time.
● Starting MAP
To start the MAP, select [Start]-->[Program]-->[Map]-->[MAP].
Once started, MAP searches for KN-302s existing on the networks according to the MAP setup. When
identifying KN-302, MAP starts a Web Browser specified as standard, and displays a list of available KN302s. By def ault, the KN-302 is named “K ON_(serial number).” When y ou select a desired KN-302 from the
list, the [Main Page] of Web Utilities is displayed.

Chapter 3 Windows 95/98 Configuration (Peer-to-Peer Printing)
■ Using IP Peer-to-Peer.............................................3-2
Chapter 3 Windows 95/98 Configuration (Peer-to-Peer Printing)
In a LAN, which has no print server but consists only of Windows 95/98 computers , computers and printers
can be connected in a “peer-to-peer” network system.
This chapter describes peer-to-peer printing over TCP/IP from Windows 95/98 using the dedicated utility,
IP Peer-to-Peer or IPX Peer-to-Peer.
■ Using IP Peer-to-Peer
As peer-to-peer printing uses the network protocol TCP/IP, the KN-302 must be set up for TCP/IP in advance. For each of the Windows 95/98 computers that perform peer-to-peer printing, it is necessary to set
up TCP/IP, install and set up [IP-P2P] included in the CD-ROM provided, and set up the printer driver.
● Basic TCP/IP setup
Select [Network] from the [Control Panel] of a Windows 95/98 computer that uses the Konica 7075 printer
via the KN-302 to display the [Network] dialog box. Click the [Configuration] tab and make sure that [TCP/
IP] exists in the list of [Current Network Components]. If it is not found, add TCP/IP. See Windows 95/98
Help or some other means to add TCP/IP.
When [TCP/IP] exists in the [Current Network Components] list, confirm the accuracy of the values of the IP
address, etc. Select [TCP/IP] and click the [Proper ties] button. The [TCP/IP Proper ties] dialog box appears. Click the [IP Address] tab and confirm or define the TCP/IP address and subnet mask assigned to
the computer. Continue the setup procedure on another screen as necessary. Click the [OK] button to
return to the Network dialog box.
Next, click the [Identification] tab in the [Network] dialog box and confirm the name given to the computer .
Click the [OK] button to finish the setup procedure.
Take care to determine the values of parameters.
Consult the network administrator to determine the values of parameters for the IP address .
If the IP address is inadequate, failures may occur in various locations in the network.
● Installation of IP Peer-to-Peer
T o install the IP-P eer-to-P eer, doub le click [Setup .exe] in the [IP-P2P] f older of the accompanying CD-ROM.
The installer will start up. Install the progr am according to the instructions display ed on the screen. The [IP
Peer-to-Peer Setup] dialog box will appear while installation is still in progress. Set up the necessary items
shown in the next paragraph.
When uninstalling the IP-Peer-to-Peer, perform the following procedure.
1.Delete the printer using IP-Peer-to-Peer from the [Printer] folder.
2.Delete the [IP-P2P] by using [Add/Delete Applications] from the [Control Panel].

Chapter 3 Windows 95/98 Configuration (Peer-to-Peer Printing)
● IP Peer-to-Peer setup
You can set up the IP Peer-to-Peer while installation is in process.
To change the setting, select [Start] --> [Programs] --> [Ip-p2p] --> [IP-P2P] to start up IP Peer-to-Peer.
Setting IP Peer-to-Peer
1.Once IP Peer-to-P eer begins the [IP-Peer To P eer Setup] dialog box appear to enable y ou to set
up the [Max Hops for Search], [IP Port Base], and [Printer Names].
Max Hops for Search
IP Peer-to-Peer broadcasts a search for the printer on the network.
The default of Max Hops for (0-15) is 2. When the value is set to 0, a search will be exercised only in
the segment in which the computer with an activated IP P eer-to-Peer belongs . When the v alue is 2, up
to two network routers will be searched everywhere accessible via up to two routers. Note that the
greater the value of Maximum Hop Count, the more traffics generated.
IP Port Base
Currently you do not need to type anything in this field.
Printer Names
Designate the printer name indicated when you selected the printer port during the printer driver
setup. You may use the serial number of the KN-302, IP address, DNS name, or unit name as the
printer name.
To change the currently assigned printer name, restar t Windows. Then execute the IP Peer-to-Peer
again to set up the printer for printing via IP Peer-to-Peer. The [Printer] dialog bo x can be displa yed b y
clicking the [Printer...] button.

Delete:
Deletes the highlighted printer(s) from the [Available Printers] list below. Printers deleted in this fashion will no longer be listed in the [PORT] listing when adding a printer. However , This does not actually
delete the printer from the network, it only removes it from the list maintained on this computer.
The printer may be re-added to the list by selecting the [Find Printers] button (described below) as
long as it remains connected to the network.
Find Printers:
Initiates a search routine out to the network. This routine will then list all printers f ound on the netw ork

the Unit Name. The Unit Name is the [Print Server Name] defined in the NIC.
•Unit IP:
Actual IP address of the unit. This is displayed regardless of which Unit Name method is selected.
•Port Number:
Currently you do not need to type anything in this field.
•Description:
Printer's description. This field usually contains the manufacturer's name and the printer's model.
•Flags:
[S], selected or [P], permanent. Any printers marked with an [S] flag will be displa y ed in the Window’s
Port Listing. When displa ying the Windows port list during the process of adding or changing a printer,
only Selected printers will be displayed. Only 30 printers may be selected at one time.
Any printer marked with a [P] flag will not be removed from the [Available Printers] list, even if the
printer is physically removed from the network or the [Clear List] button is selected.
3.Click [OK] when all settings are completed. All setting values are stored when you return to
the [IP-Peer to Peer Setup] dialog . If you click the [Cancel] button before clicking [OK], the

Chapter 3 Windows 95/98 Configuration (Peer-to-Peer Printing)
■ Using IPX Peer-to-Peer
Windows Peer-to-Peer printing allows Windows 95/98 computers to print to IP-601 + KN-302 printers without an intervening server and without using IP. The main features of the Windo ws IPX P eer-to-P eer printing
are as follows:
• Runs on Windows-95/98 "out of the box".
• Runs on networks that do not have a NetWare file server, as well as those that do.
• Implements IPX peer-to-peer bi-directional printing between Windows PCs and IP-601 + KN-302 print-
ers.
● Introduction and preparation
The Peer-to-P eer implementation uses the IPX/SPX stac ks that are provided with Windows 95/98. The IPX
Peer-to-Peer provided will establish a connection with the printers supporting IPX Peer-to-Peer, without
using an intermediate file server, whether or not your network uses Novell NetWare.
When configuring the network capabilities for the Windows computer , y ou must include the [IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol]. If you are not using NetW are , you do not need to activ ate any NetW are Client application.
This inclusion of IPX/SPX can also be done after initial Windows installation b y going to the [Network] setup
function under [Control Panel]. To do this, you will need the Windows CD.
Because Peer-to-Peer uses the IPX/SPX Protocol, Novell operation must remain enabled
on the KN-302, even if traditional Novell printing facilities are not being used. The name of
the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it appears in the Windows Port List, is the same as the Novell
Print Server name, and may be changed by changing the Novell Print Server name using
the Web Utility or MAP utility.
On power up, the KN-302 chec ks the network to see if there is Novell activity. If there is, it will use the same
frame type and the local network number that it senses. If, in addition, the KN-302 can log on to a file server ,
it will assume that Novell is normally used and will store this frame type and new number in NVRAM so that,
when it comes up again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some time).
However, if the KN-302 cannot attach to a file server, it will use the sensed values, but will not store them.
If the KN-302 does not see any Novell activity, it will use 802.2 on 802.3 as a frame type and will assign
itself a network number of 0. The frame type and network number being used is reported on the Status
Page.
If a KN-302 is being moved from a site that had active No vell to a site that does not, the unit should be reset
to factory default to clear the frame type and network number information.

Chapter 3 Windows 95/98 Configuration (Peer-to-Peer Printing)
● Installation of IPX Peer-to-Peer
To install the IPX Peer-to-Peer, perform the following procedure:
1.Insert the CD-ROM that came with the KN-302 into the CD-ROM drive.
2.From the Windows main window, click on [Start].
3.Click on [Run].
4.From [Run], type <CDROM drive>:\IPX-P2P\SETUP.EXE.
5.Click on [OK].
6.At the [IPX Peer-to-Peer Setup] screen, click on [Next].
If setup detected a previous installation of the IPX Peer-to-Peer, it will prompt you to have
Setup delete the old driver and continue the installation procedure. Click on [Yes] or [No].
Once the IPX Peer-to-Peer is installed, each printer on the network that supports this peerto-peer capability will appear as a [Port] under [Printer Properties].
To use the Peer-to-Peer connection, create a logical printer using the [Add Printer Wizard]
according to the instructions for IP-601. Set up the pr inter as a [LOCAL] printer. Use the
driver that came with the IP-601. When the [Add Printer Wizard] asks you to choose the
[Port], select the name of the P eer-to-Peer printer you wish to print to. When you complete
the installation, select the [Print Test Page] option.
When uninstalling the IPX Peer-to-Peer, perform the following procedure.
1.Delete the printer using IPX Peer-to-Peer from the [Printer] folder.
2.Delete the [IPX-P2P] by using [Add/Delete Applications] from [Control Panel].

Chapter 5UNIX Configuration
■ UNIX printing through TCP/IP.................................5-2
This section explains how to configure the KN-302 and y our network for use with TCP/IP communication in
various UNIX environments. Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for most popular
UNIX systems.
The KN-302 TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems , and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the KN-302 TCP/IP port. This port number is 10001.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for network management services. SNMP is supported for Management Information Base (MIB) II over the IP for the
network interface card. This support allows you to query MIB II to get system information
about the network interface card.
The KN-302 can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:
• Host-based where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is
communicated to the KN-302 via a TCP/IP port.
• Printer-based lpd where the IP-601 appears as a host running a line printer daemon.
Many operating systems provide the option of using host-resident printing or printer-resident printing.
In general, printer-based lpd is easier to use on BSD UNIX systems. This requires an entry in the printcap
file once the KN-302 has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of
remote lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpd approach be used.
Each printing mode has certain advantages over the other mode, as follows:
• The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; whereas the printerresident method prints a banner page with the host’s name.
• The printer-resident method requires you to configure the IP-601+KN-302 only one time, when you install
the KN-302.; whereas, the host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every
host that you want to be able to print jobs.
The KN-302 will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/spooler programs
that present a print image to the IP-601 over a TCP/IP port.

● Configuring IP address to the KN-302
Regardless of the printing mode selected, the KN-302 must be given the IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the KN-302 in one of the following ways:
• Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
See “Using DHCP, Information for the TCP/IP network administrator, in Appendix”.
• Use arp and ping capability.
See “Assigning IP Address, General Description of the Network Setup, in Chapter 2 Setting Up KN302 and Printer”.
• Use BOOTP (Internet Boot Protocol).
See “Using BOO TP to assign IP address , Information f or the TCP/IP network administrator , in Appendix”.
• Use reverse ARP (rarp) capability (Ethernet
See “Using rarp to assign IP address, Inf ormation for the TCP/IP network administrator, in Appendix”.
• Use arp command, MAP(Management Access Program), or BOOTP Lite for Windows.
See “Assigning IP Address, General Description of the Network Setup, in Chapter 2 Setting Up KN302 and Printer”.
• Use NIManage for Macintosh.
See “ Chapter 7 AppleTalk Configuration”.
II frame type only).
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or arp and ping procedures only when the KN-302 is in its
factory default state (when no IP information has been entered).
Depending on the topology, you need to provide the MAC address of the KN-302. The MAC address is the
12-character code that is printed on the Status Page each time the printer/copier is turned on.
After the KN-302 has an IP address, you must use the MAP utility, or other dedicated utilities (for Windo ws
or Macintosh) to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

● lpd UNIX Printing
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon that lets you print across a TCP/IP
network without the need to install software on your workstation, with all filtering and banners done by the
KN-302.
Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
The process begins when the lpr call finds the printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm)
entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer.
lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote
system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to
the remote system.
The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the
control file and its own printcap file.
The KN-302 lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulation and filters the data, if possible, so it can
be printed on the printer you specify.
You can indicate to the KN-302 lpd what type of printer it is attached to by either:
• Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or
• Changing the listed emulations via a standard IP based Web Browser.
The sections that follow give specific lpd setup instructions for various systems.
Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd
T o set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the KN-302 using printer resident lpd, add an entry
to the /etc/printcap file on your host for each printer you use. Perform the following procedure:
1.Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the KN-302 as the remote host and PORT1
as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is as follows:
<printer_name>\ (for example, lprprinter)
:rm=<remote_host>:\ (
for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>:
(for example, spool directory on system used to spool
data and control files)
This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name> to the printer designated
<printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the KN-302
designated as <remote_host>.
2.Create the spooling directory. For example, type:
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>
3.To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:
lpr-P <printer_name> < file_name>
Installation and testing are done. You are now ready to print.

■ Setup for NetWare 3.x
Before setting up NetWare , you ha v e to define the print server name, etc., from the MAP (W eb utility). See
“Chapter 2 Setting up KN-302 and Printer”, for setting up NetWare by MAP. See the manual of Novell
NetWare for setting up with PCONSOLE.
The setup procedure of NetWare 3.x is as follows. To perform this procedure, you must be authorized as
supervisor.
1.Start up PCONSOLE and select the file server to use.
2.Generate and assign a print queue.
3.Define KN-302 as the print server.
4.Define the notification list/password as necessary.
5.Set up the primary file server as necessary.
On completion of setup, turn off the printer’s main power and turn it on again. The printer will print out a
Status Page indicating the file servers equipped with KN-302 and the queues that the file servers will
service.
The primary file sever must be defined if the network is of a large scale and connects many
sites having more than one file server. PCONSOLE should be used to set up the primar y
file sever.
6-8 KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 58
■ Setup for NetWare 4.x
Novell NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes, NetWare Directory Service (NDS) and Binder y Emulation
Service (Bindery Emulation). Bindery Emulation and NDS will be executed simultaneously. It is also
possible to set up the print server so that it operates only in Bindery Emulation mode or in NDS mode.
The print server set up for NDS mode will also service the file server of an old version operating in Bindery
mode.
If NDS is not set up properly for the print server and Bindery Service mode is not operating,
the print server cannot find the file server and Novell NetWare protocol will be indicated as
inactive in the Status Page.
● Setup information
NDS
NetWare Directory Service (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects.
As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x
server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects such as printers, print server
and print queues.
With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which, once configured in its
context (or location) on the network, eliminates the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server.
NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network database rather than individually defined physical sites. The result is a greatly improved print server setup and management.
Chapter 6 NetWare Configuration
Bindery emulation
NetWare 4.x also provides backward compatibility for 3.x and 4.x print service through Bindery emulation.
The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users,
printers, gateways , etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network
wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data found in the DIB but the data
is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific
security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned.
The Directory uses an object-oriented structure, rather than the flat-file structure of the Bindery, and
offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access found in the Bindery.
The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through Bindery emulation mode.
When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just
as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed.
Be aware that information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the
Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications making Bindery requests will not know the difference.

● NDS setup
Web utility
This is used for context setup of the KN-302 print server. See “Chapter 2, Setting up KN-302 and
Printer”, for more detail.
Novell NWADMIN
Novell NWADMIN (NetWare Administration) is used to generate a directory tree and print queue objects in the print server, printer and tree.
The KN-302 is provided with a plug-and-play feature to support NetWare administration utility
(NWADMIN) that enables the NDS administrator to perf orm centraliz ed management of print servers.
Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of Setup with NWADMIN.
PCONSOLE
NetWare allows the use of PCONSOLE as an alternative of NW ADMIN. PCONSOLE is used to set up
static information of print servers regarding which queues to service and to whom information is given
in case of trouble.
Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of setup with PCONSOLE of NDS.
● Setup for Bindery Emulation
Make sure of the Bindery Context.
Before connecting the KN-302 print server to the Novell NetWare 4.x ser ver of binder y mode, make
sure that the NetWare server contains the bindery context.
If the bindery context does not exist, the network administrator should modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF
file to add an adequate SET command and restart the NetWare server or enter a SET command from
the console prompt to make changes.
Note that any command entered following the console prompt is effective immediately but
the definition of the autoexec.ncf file becomes effective only after turning off power and on
again.
Setup with PCONSOLE in bindery mode.
If it is sure that the bindery context exists in the file server, y ou can set up the KN-302 with PCONSOLE.
Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of setup with PCONSOLE.
In Bindery mode, only upper-case letters are valid for the printer server password.

■ Setup for printing through AppleTalk
This section explains how to configure and use the NIManage (NIManage AppleTalk Administration Program) so that printing can be performed from a Macintosh system.
The NIManage is used to perform the following functions:
• Change the network zone and/or change printer names for IP-601+KN-302 printer.
• Assist Konica Customer Support in diagnosing problems.
Windows95/98
Winlllllllllllllllldows95/lllll
● Configuration for AppleTalk
The AppleTalk protocol must be enabled before printing can be performed.
Use the MAP utility and Web Utilities for Windows to check or to enable the AppleTalk protocol.
Refer to “Chapter 2, Setting Up KN-302 and Printer” for more details.
• Print to the Konica 7075+IP-601+KN-302 printing system by using Chooser to select the network and
printer.
• The KN-302 is found in Chooser as KON_(serial number) 1, where 1 stands f or the IP-601 connected to
parallel [port 1].
● Using the NIManage
How to access the NIManage
The NIManage (NIManage AppleTalk Administration Program) is contained on the CD-ROM supplied with
the KN-302.
1.Copy the NIManage program (folder labeled NIManage) on the CD-ROM to a folder.
For example, place the program in a folder called NIMANAGE or PRINTSERVER.
2.Double click on the NIManage Program icon when it appears on the desktop. The Zone and
KN-302 Device Dialog menu appears.
If your network has no zones, choose only from the KN-302 Device field, as no Zone field is
displayed.
3.Select the Zone that has the KN-302 you want to administer.
Available KN-302s on that Zone appear in the KN-302 field.
4.Select the KN-302 you want to use.
Setup the KN-302
Use the options added to the menu bar to configure the KN-302. Depending on your printer, certain functions may appear grayed out, which indicates that they cannot be selected.
• Use [Printer Setup] to configure your KN-302 for PostScript printers.
• Use [Reset] to perform a full reset of the KN-302. When you select [Reset] from the KN-302 menu, the
KN-302 resets automatically.
• Use [Configuration] to change the KN-302 name, and the AppleTalk Zone name; and also view the KN302 configuration features. You can change the KN-302’s default name to another one y ou may pref er . Be
sure to recycle the power to the printer/copier Off, then On; otherwise, the changes you made will not
occur.

Protocol Setup For TCP/IP Users
Protocol Setup is used to set up the protocols on the unit when you do not hav e access to a Novell NetW are
server or workstation.
• Be sure to turn On the protocols you want to use. It is recommended that you turn Off the protocols you
are not using.
• TCP/IP users must also enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. Entering a value for
the Default Gateway enables the KN-302 to communicate with other Subnets.
• If KN-302 does not have an IP Address/Subnet Mask established when you display the Protocol Setup
screen, the information in the IP Address and Subnet Mask fields will be incorrect.
• Enter the correct IP Address and Subnet Mask.
If incorrect values are supplied, TCP/IP will not be enabled.
In that case, you will not be alerted with an error message.
• After you select protocols, be sure to recycle the KN-302 power by turning the printer Off, then On;
otherwise changes will not be made. After choosing the item on the menu, the f ollo wing screen displa ys.
The default values for the IP address is shown as zeros. However, this represents a “no IP
Address” condition, not an IP address.
How To Access The HTTP Server With An Web Browser
Access to the HTTP Server allows you to perform all network interface card functions.
Use the following procedure to access HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) with the standard W eb Browser ,
such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.
1.Assign an IP address to the KN-302.
(See “Chapter 2 Setting Up KN-302 and Printer”).
2.Start the Web Browser you normally use.
When the Browser is up and running, type http:// followed by the IP address of the unit in the Location
field at the top of the Browser screen, or by going to [File] at the menu bar and choosing Open Location.
Example: For a unit with an IP address of 199.9.200.200, type:
http://199.9.200.200

Chapter 8Troubleshooting
■ Resetting the KN-302 to Factory Default................8-2
■ Status Page............................................................8-3
■ How to Diagnose Problems....................................8-4
Y ou can cause the KN-302 to restore all par ameters to factory default values , so the Network Interface Card
appears just as it came from the factory. You may choose to do this when the Network Interface Card is
moved to a new location where the environment (NetWare file servers, IP subnets, and so on) is different.
This process is called “Restore Factory Defaults”. It can be done with a Web Browser.
Resetting to factory default means that the Network Interface Card loses all data such as
names and IP address. It does not lose its serial number or MAC address.
8-2 KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 67
■ Status Page
The Status Page is sent as a print job to the printer when the Copier is powered on. The sample Status
Page described below shows the configuration of the KN-302 immediately bef ore the report is printed. You
can print the Status Page using the Web utilities.
It is strongly recommended that you revie w this report and confirm the setting immediately after installation
and any time the setup has been changed.
Use the following list to determine the cause of printing problems:
1.Verify that the printer is functioning properly.
• Is the printer printing? Make sure the printer is operating properly by generating a test page. See
the “Konica IP-601 Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL for instructions on generating a test
page.
• Does the LCD Touch Screen of the Konica 7075 display an error message? Review the “Konica
7075 INSTRUCTION MANUAL”.
• Did you get a KN-302 Status Page? On power-up , the KN-302 sends a status page which contains
information that can be useful for troubleshooting. K eep the Status P age av ailable until a problem is
resolved.
2.Check the Status Page to see what protocols are enabled and active . See the appropriate
chapter to confirm that you have installed and configured y our network pr otocol correctly f or
the KN-302. See “An example of Status Page”.
3.Determine if other users can print. If they can’t and they are all on the same NOS, go to the
troubleshooting section for that NOS operation manual.
4.When you have determined the nature of the problem, use the checklists in the next section.
● Troubleshooting MAP Prob lems
If the MAP cannot detect a target KN-302, check the following:
• Are the network settings on the KN-302 correctly made?
• Did you correctly select the MAP settings?
• Are the protocols used by the computer on which the MAP is to run correctly set up?
• Are the Web Browsers used by the computer on which the MAP to run correctly set up?
• If nothing irregular is found, turn off the main power supply to the Konica 7075, then turn it back on, wait
about several min utes and try running the MAP again.
8-4 KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 69
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
● Troubleshooting NetW are Pr otocol
It is recommended that you use MAP to get the NetWare setup and parameter values. If you have not
resolved the problem after running MAP, go through the checklists in this section.
NetWare Checklist
• Is the print ser ver name (network interface card name) entered correctly? The factory default name is
KON_(serial number). The serial number is informed in the Status Page.
• Did you assign print queues to the printer? It is recommended that you assign each print queue to only
one Network Interface Card-connected printer. If print queues are assigned to other network printers, the
print jobs may be going to another network printer.
• Did you set up the printer to the type Remote Other /Unknown?
• If the PCONSOLE or NWADMIN settings are correct, the connection between the printer and network
may have been broken. Turn the printer off and, using PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, wait for the status
message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and the status should change to Waiting for Job.
File Server Checklist
• Is there enough disk space on the File Server and is it running?
• Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to check this.
• Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer? (supervisor or administrator)
• Are the File Server and the KN-302 communicating? Run NetWare’s COMCHECK utility from any net-
work workstation to check this.
• Are there enough user positions on the File Server?
Workstation Checklist
• Is the network loaded onto the workstation? See the NetWare documentation.
• Is the application set up to print to the printer? For instance, are you using the correct driver?
• Is the workstation connected to the correct print queue? Print a file and verify that the file goes to the
queue.
• Are the print queues assigned to the KN-302-connected printer also assigned to another network printer?
If they are, the print jobs may be going to that printer.
• From PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, enter a sample print job directly into an assigned queue. Does the job
become Active? Is the job printed?
• Is AUTO ENDCAP enabled? Auto Endcap lets you send data to a network printer. Use PCONSOLE or
NWADMIN to check. If not, enable it.
If all your hardware connections are correct, check the following:
• Use MAP to check the status of the print server. The Unit Status screen sho ws the status for the selected
network interface card. This report includes a status of file servers and queues assigned to a printer
along with a description of any problems.
• The printer may not be assigned to the correct print queues. Use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to direct
print jobs to the correct queues, then check to see if the print job is in the queue.
• If devices were added or changed, use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to mak e sure you configured the ne w
devices correctly.
• Make sure the KN-302’s name has been entered correctly. If you changed the name in MAP, you must
also change the name in PCONSOLE or NWADMIN before you can print.
• Use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to check the Printer Status. Make sure it is not stopped.
• You cannot use PCONSOLE Version 1.0 to configure the netw ork interf ace card. Connect Novell Inc. f or
an upgrade.
Printer Server/File Server/Printer Checklist
Check the following to see if:
• The KN-302 Print Server can log into the file server, and can service jobs from a File Server.
• The KN-302 Print Server name is listed on that File Server . Use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to set up the
KN-302s to the File Server.
• The password assigned to the Print Server Card through PCONSOLE matches the password assigned
through MAP. Use MAP to update the password stored in the KN-302’s memory.
• The print job is in the print queue and waiting to be printed. Use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to check if
the print jobs are being sent to the printer.
Workstation to Print Server Card Connection Checklist
To make sure the workstation is communicating with the Print Server Card, check the following:
• Print a file from the workstation and make sure the print job gets to the print queue using PCONSOLE or
NWADMIN. If the print job does get to the queue, the problem is not with the workstation/print server
connection.
• Use CAPTURE to send data to the printer from a workstation software application. See your NetWare
print server manual for information.
• Make sure another printer is not taking the print jobs from the queues before the Print Server Card can
service the job. To do this, disable the other printer until you can verify the Print Server Card-connected
printer setup.
KN-302 Loses Its Novell File Server Connection
If the KN-302 loses its connection to the file server, it can take appro ximately 5 to 10 min utes to reconnect.
If the connection is not made after a reasonable amount of time, check the error conditions to troub leshoot
the problem.
Unable to Print from a Different Context
The KN-302 does not support printing from a context different from the context upon which you are installed. If you want to do this, you must create an alias queue. See your NetWare Manual for more

■ Information for the TCP/IP network administrator
● Using DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service that provides IP address assignment and maintenance procedures. The KN-302 can get IP information from the service.
There are two user-definable variables related with the DHCP functions.You can set up those var iables
from [Setup TCP/IP] of [Network Administration] provided by the Web utility.
• Enable DHCP
• Enable IP address defined
a. If you select [Not enable DHCP], the KN-302 does not call for the DHCPservice. If no IP address is
defined for the KN-302 or [Enable IP address defined] is OFF, the KN-302 attempts to get an IP address
by BOOTP requestor or some other means.
b .If DHCP can be used and no IP address is defined for the KN-302 or [Enable IP address defined] is OFF,
the KN-302 calls for the DHCP when reset or power has turned on.
c.If DHCP can be used but an IP address is defined for the KN-302 and [Enable IP address defined] is ON,
the KN-302 gets IP information from NVRAM (non-volatile memory) and does not use DHCP service.
Both of the options [Enable DHCP] and [Enable IP address defined] are ON by default (employed at shipment time). In this case, if the IP identification infor mation stored in NVRAM is not available, the KN-302
generates a DHCP request.
Appendix
When DHCP can be used and the factory default values are set for the KN-302, set up
(reserve) to enable the KN-302’s IP address to be used continually on the DHCP server,
otherwise the same address might be given to other hosts.
KN-302 Network Interface Card Appendix-5
Page 76
Appendix
● Using BOOTP to assign IP Address
The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option f or configuring the IP address of a non-disk network device .
To communicate the IP address, use the following procedure:
1.Turn off the printer/copier.
2.Log in as superuser on a host that is attached on the same network segment as the print
server. Confirm the subnet mask is the one you intend to use. However, if the server resides
on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server.
3.Find the MAC address of the KN-302. The address is printed on the Status Page each time you
turn the printer on.
4.Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and KN-302's
node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a KN-302 named
printfast with an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
6.Edit the /etc/bootptab file and add the following information:
8.Check the IP-601 to verify that the KN-302 is connected to the network. Turn on the IP-601.
9.Wait until the IP-601 powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The KN-302 should re-initialize itself.
10.After the KN-302 has re-initialized, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the print server has the address, a confirmation message displays:
192.9.200.200 is alive
11.Remove your changes to the
12.Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

file.
Page 77
Appendix
● Using rarp to assign IP Address
The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP
addresses on start-up. This procedure requires a workstation with a rarp server.
To store the IP address, use the following procedure:
1.Turn off the printer/copier.
2.Log in as superuser on the rarp server.
If the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the
print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network.
3.Find the MAC address of the KN-302. The address is printed on the Status Page when you
power on the printer/copier.
4.Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP Address and KN-302's
node name.
See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with the name of
printfast has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the MAC address.
To continue the example, for the printfast card with an MAC address of 00:40:c8:00:00:ff,
make the following entry:
0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast
6.If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon is running.
7.Check the IP-601 to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on the printer/
copier.
8.Wait until the IP-601 powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The KN-302 should then
reset itself.
9.After the KN-302 has reset, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP
address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the print server has the address, a confirmation message displays:
192.9.200.200 is alive
10.Remove your changes to the /etc/ethers file.
11.Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

● Installing UNIX-TCP/IP Programs
The CD-ROM provided with the KN-302 Network Interface Card includes installation scripts , UNIX-TCP/IP
Programs, for various UNIX systems.
This section describes how to install UNIX-TCP/IP Programs on the KN-302 for an y of the following oper ating systems:
• DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC
• System V Rel. 4
• Solaris (Ver. 1.x, 2.x)
• SCO UNIX
• OSF1/ALPHA
• IBM AIX
• HP-UX
Once the KN-302 has its IP information loaded, the following steps are necessary for host-side TCP/IP
printing:
1.Load the UNIX-TCP/IP Programs on your workstation. It is presented as a tar file on the accompanying CD-ROM.
2.Run the appropriate installation script, if available.
3.Complete the configuration for your operating system.
Loading the UNIX-TCP/IP Programs
The following procedures are only necessary when using the supplied host-based lpr capability.
Loading the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used.
1.Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to the print server.
2.Insert the CD-ROM in to the host CD drive.
3.Go to or create the directory in which you want to install the UNIX-TCP/IP Programs. For
example:
mkdir /usr/PSC_install
If you already have a IP-601+KN-302 at your site and you are now installing another one,
delete the files in the installation directory not (/usr/Konica). If these files remain, they can
prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.
8-Appendix KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 79
Appendix
4.Use the tar command to load the UNIX-TCP/IP Programs from the CD-ROM. Choose your UNIX
version from the example of the follo wing table, or if not sho wn, consult the man page for y our
system:
UNIX VersionExample
BSD/ULTRIX/AIX/SCOtar -xvf/dev/rfd0
System Vtar -xvf/dev/rdsk/f13ht
System V/Solaris 2.3tar -xvf/dev/rCDROM
The device name varies depending on the computer and its peripheral designations. The
first BSD floppy device is often called rfd0.
5.After performing the tar , the system will displa y a list of KN-302 files copied by the tar. At this
point, go to the appropriate section in this man ual for instructions on running the installation
script on your system.
Filters
There will be certain options in executing the script for various systems.
PostScript UNIX Printing
The installation script can create an entry in the /etc/printcap file for IP-601(and KN-302):
ASCII, PCLfiles
If your printer is not a PostScript printer , the install script uses an input filter (infilter) that supplies CR/
LF translation to print ASCII files on a PCL printer.
If your printer is a PostScript printer , y our printcap file will ref erence psfilter which offers easy ASCII-
to-PostScript conversion. Normal PostScript format files are not affected. Proprietar y and public domain filters are available for broader filtering capabilities.
PSBanner
The KN-302 ships with an input filter called psbanner, an output filter to print PostScript banners.
You may change infilter or outfilter entries in the /etc/printcap file.
The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:
<print_name> | Konica Print Server printer:\
:lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\
:of=/usr/nic/psbanner
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

For example:
<printer_name> | Konica Print Server printer:\
:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
Except for the first line, all printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab.
6.The Installation script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the daemon for the
newly configured printer.
It also displays the path used in case you need to restart the daemon.
For example:
7.Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd processes.
Type: ps -ax | grep lpd
8.T o stop ALL printing, use the kill command on your lpd processes.
Type: kill -9 <Process ID>

The screen displays the entry (see sample printcap file below) and asks if you want the script
to append it to your /etc/printcap file.
Type yes or no, then press Enter. Type no to perform manual edits.
<printer_name> | Konica Print Server printer:\
:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
6.Installation for the system is completed. When prompted to configure additional printers, type
yes or no, then press Enter. It is recommended that you ping the Konica Print Server to test
communications.
Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the /etc/printcap file to configure a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD systems, however, the printcap entry is different.
If you use the printcap entry generated automatically by the installation script, this will be transparent to
you.

Installing and Printing on HP/UX System
1.Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.
The script automatically downloads the correct KN-302 utilities for your particular system
and prompts you for information as needed.
2.What is the node name of the KN-302?
Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example,
type printfast, then press Enter.
3.What is the printer name?
Type the desired
printer name,
then press Enter.
4.Your screen displays your install script information, as for example:
Node name of the Konica Print Server: printfast
Printer name to be used: <printer_name>
The printer is attached on: PORT1
When asked to OK this configuration, type yes or no, then press Enter.
5.The script starts the daemon for the newly configured printer automatically. It also displays
the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the following example, the path
would be:
This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier.
When the installation script is completed, you must configure the printer and make it known
to the lp system. The HP/UX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure
a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file).
Use the following specific commands to configure the printer:
See HP's alternative SAM method for configuring the printer on the next page.
12-Appendix KN-302 Network Interface Card

Appendix
Using the SAM Program to Configure the Printer
HP supplies the sam program as an alternative method for configuring the printer. The printer name must
be the same as the one you entered during the KN-302 installation.
When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/printer_name.
The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-toPostScript filters, and the system will invoke the filters automatically if you define the content type of the
printer as PostScript.
The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter
command to define new filters and content types if necessary.
The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now available to you. The fact that you are printing
across the network is completely transparent.

Installing and Printing on System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V Rel. 4 386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-based machines.
Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer
interface file.
After completing the software download in Loading the Software, y ou must configure the printer and make
it known to the lp system.
1.Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.
The script automatically downloads the correct KN-302 utilities for your particular system
and prompts you for information as needed.
2.Select your system by choosing one of the following options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3, then press Enter.
3.You have now installed TCP/IP on the Konica Print Server.
Copy your interface file.
(/usr/nic is a good place to keep your copy).
4.Edit the printer interface program this printer uses to redirect output to the Konica Print Server .
Then, configure your printer using lpadmin.
In most cases you would use the default interf ace script named standard (usually found in the /usr/spool/lp/
admins/lp/model directory).
If you wish to use an interface tuned to a specific printer, you must have a copy of the interface file for the
port you want to initialize. For example:
You must specify the KN-302 name (PSC_name) and the KN-302 port (10001) indicated above to enable
the nicfilter to connect to the Konica Print Server unit. The name must be the same as the one you entered
in /etc/hosts for this KN-302.
The remaining arguments are optional. Nicfilter uses them to produce a high quality banner. The lp print
service user name, request id, file names and options always pass to the interface file. They will be available in any interface script as shell variables, although they may have different names.
If you disable banners in the lp command, the system will set the ${nobanner} option to yes. This will
suppress the KN-302 banner generation.
If you do not define the FILTER shell variable in your interface file , you can usually modify it to pipe data to
nicfilter. The simplest way to accomplish this is to enclose the entire script in parentheses and pipe it to
nicfilter, using the arguments described above.
If you wish to use the banner generated by the interface file, simply omit the last four arguments.
14-Appendix KN-302 Network Interface Card

These arguments are shell variables from the interface file . They may ha ve different names
(names used above are from the standard interface file supplied with most Version 2 and
i386 systems).
Installing and Printing on SCO UNIX System
Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems.
The KN-302 solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system inv okes nicfilter directly from the
printer interface file.
After completing software download in Loading the software, you must configure the IP-601+KN-302 and
make it known to the lp system. Use the following steps:
1.Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.
The script automatically downloads the correct Konica Print Server utilities for your particu-
lar system and prompts you for information as needed.
2.Select your system. Choose one from these options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3 and press Enter.
3.What is the node name of the Konica Print Server?
Type the name assigned in the /etc/hosts file, then press Enter.
For example, type: printfast
4.What is the printer name for this Konica Print Server-linked printer?
Type a
printer name
, then press Enter.
5.The screen displays your install script information. For example:
Node name of the Konica Print Server: printfast
Printer name to be used: <printer_name>
The printer is attached on: PORT1
Do you want to accept this configuration? Type yes or no, then press Enter.
6.The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays
the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the preceding e xample, the path
would be:
This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier. When the installation script is complete, you
must still configure the printer and make it known to the lp system.
The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is no /etc/
printcap file).
The specific commands to do this are:
lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name
NOTE: Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command.
enable printer_name
accept printer_name
KN-302 Network Interface Card Appendix-15

Appendix
You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See y our system documentation f or details. Note
that the printer name must be the same as the one you entered during Konica Print Server installation.
The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of your printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII
to PostScript filters and the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the
printer as PostScript.
The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter
command to define new filters and content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print
service is now apparent. Your printing across the network is completely transparent.
Installing and Printing on AIX RISC System/6000
The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program.
The qdaemon uses configuration information stored in the /usr/lpd/qconfig file to manage queues and route
jobs to the proper devices. This information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device
known to the system.
An AIX virtual printer is simply a high level software view of a data stream, queue, and de vice that controls
how a given job will be processed. A different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that a
real printer supports. For e xample, you would use diff erent virtual printers for PostScript and PCL jobs e ven
though they are destined for the same physical printer.
Configuring IP-601+KN-302 on an AIX system approximates configuration of a local printer as closely as
possible. The only difference is that the physical device associated with your Konica Print Server printer
must be a named pipe used by the print daemon to route data to the Konica Print Server.
The following procedure shows the most straightforward way to add a printer to your system:
1.Run the Install script by typing: nicinst.
The script automatically downloads the correct Konica Print Server utilities for your particu-
lar system and prompts you for information as needed.
2.What is the node name of the Print Server unit?
Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts, for example,
type: printfast, then press Enter.
3.What is the printer name?
Type: the desired printer name, then press Enter.
16-Appendix KN-302 Network Interface Card
Page 87
Appendix
4.The screen will display the install script information you provided, as for example:
Node name of the Konica Print Server: printfast
Printer name to be used:<printer_naThe printer is attached
on: PORT1
When asked to OK this configuration, type yes or no, then press Enter.
5.Configure a virtual printer using printer_name as the physical device, where printer_name is
the same printer name chosen during install.
6.Use the following command to shut down the qdaemon and stop all printing:
stopsrc -s qdaemon
7.Edit /etc/qconfig to change the special file for device printer_name
from:/dev/printer_name
to:/dev/nic/printer_name.
8.Restart the daemon with:
startsrc -s daemon
The installation script creates the named pipe and starts the supplied print daemon using the printer name
and Konica Print Server information you supplied.
Since the AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) cannot accept a named pipe as a printer device,
the installation script creates a null character device in /dev/
printer_name
.
Virtual Printer Commands
By entering the device name printer_name for configuration purposes, virtual printers can be added either
through SMIT or through the mkvirprt command.
During this process you also select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the set of
predefined attributes for that printer type.
In most cases, this set of attributes will be sufficient, but it can be changed either through SMIT or by using
the chvirprt command. If you need to make more extensive changes on your printer, see the AIX RISC
System/6000 documentation for information.
Before you edit the files, be sure that the following daemon is running:
file=/dev/printer_name to file=/dev/nic/printer_name
15.Type stopsrc -s qdaemon.
16.Type startsrc -s daemon. Now you can print using the lp command.
AIX Print Commands
The AIX lp command works slightly differently from the lp command for other System V Release 4 systems.
The following lp commands can be used to print files:
lp -d <queue_name> <filename> or
lp -d <queue_name>:<device_name> <file_name>
