How T o Access The HTTP Server W ith An IP Browser
Use the following procedure to access the HTTP (HyperText Transfer
Protocol) with your favorite IP Browser, such as Netscape. This access
allows you to perform all print server functions.
Option: If you have the MAP (Konica Management Access Program) Utility,
use instructions on p. 3-7. MAP gives you access to the Konica Network
Management Utility , which allows you to perform all print server functions.
If you do not have the MAP Utility, perform the following steps:
1. Assign an IP address to the KN-301.
See instructions for Assigning IP Address, starting on p. 5-5.
2. Start the IP Browser you normally use.
3. 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
At this point, the IP Browser works the same as the Konica MAP Utility (see
Network Setup screen on p. 3-8.

Using Konica Network Management Utility
Overview
The Konica Network Management Utility is a Windows based HyperText
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) utility that enables you to configure network
protocols for the KN-301 print server; remotely reset the KN-301 print server
to clear an error or to return the print server to factory settings; troubleshoot
problems; enable/disable the status sheet printout; and access contextsensitive Help.
While the Konica Network Management Utility can be accessed with any
browser, such as Netscape, you can also use the MAP (Konica Management
Access Program) Utility to access and configure the KN-301. The MAP
Utility automatically installs when you install the Konica Network Management Utility CD-ROM.
If you have not already done so, install the Konica Network Management
Utility program using the installation procedure on p. 2-6.
NOTE: The Konica Network Management Utility CANNOT be installed from DOS.
Using MAP (Management Access Program)
The MAP utility consists of the MAP Setup program and the MAP program.
(See sample screens on next page.)
MAP Setup Program
The MAP Setup program allows you to configure the MAP program to
search for IP or IPX based printers.
You may also configure the maximum number of hops for the IP searches.
The hop count number determines how many sub-networks the program will
search to find the print server units. An entry of zero [0] on the screen
searches only the current subnet. An entry of [2] searches a wire that is
directly connected to the workstation and all networks accessible through
two routers. An entry of 15 or higher automatically searches every connected network; but such a high number is not recommended due to the
amount of traffic it would generate.
MAP Program
The MAP program lets you utilize the default browser for viewing and
changing the Print Server configuration settings. To do so, click on any
active KN-301 Print Server unit (see next page).

System Functions allow you to reset the unit when an error condition
occurs; reset the unit to download a new version of the print server software; return the unit to its factory defaults before configuring; check the
unit status on Novell NetWare, TCP/IP, or AppleTalk protocols; update the
Ethernet network; change the password assigned to the unit.
Reset
Two functions are available: Reset Unit lets you reset the print server to
clear an error condition that is preventing you from printing. Reset simply
recycles the unit and leaves all current print server settings intact. Typical
error conditions that would require resetting the unit include the situation
where the printer port does not accept data for a print job, or the printer is
printing codes instead of the desired text. When you reset the unit, you may
need to recycle the printer power Off, then On again to correct the problem.
Reset the Unit for Download lets you reset the print server in to download
mode to enable you to update the unit's flash read-only memory (ROM) with
a new or updated software release. A software release normally includes new
features or fixes for the print server.
Factory Defaults
This function resets the print server to the factory default settings that came
with the unit. This feature is useful in the event you are moving the print
server to a new location, or if the unit was set up improperly and you need to
start over again. Remember that this option clears any settings already
defined for the print server.
Unit Status
The Unit Status screen displays the current state for each protocol and print
server port available on your print server model. For each supported
protocol (Novell NetW are, TCP/IP, AppleT alk), the top line displays the
protocols supported and indicates whether the protocol is currently enabled

Configure Using NetW are 4.x NetW are Directory Services
Overview
NetW are Directory Services (NDS) of fers a dif ferent, 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 servers 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 on individually defined physical sites. The result is
greatly improved print server setup and management.
NetW are 4.x also provides backward compatibility for 2.x, 3.x and 4.x print
service in Bindery emulation.
The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about
servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc., and is a distributed
database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is
stored.
NetWare versions prior to 4.x provide the same data found in the DIB but the
data is stored in the NetW are Bindery . 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 NetW are 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.
NetWare Configuration 3-33
Page 55
NetW are Configuration
Configure Using NetW are 4.x NetW are Directory Services
Overview (continued)
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.
Konica Network Management Utility
The Konica Network Management Utility program provided with the KN-301
is used to configure the context of the KN-301 Print Server.
Novell NW ADMIN
The Novell NW ADMIN (NetWare Administration) program is used to create
the directory tree, print server, printer and print queue objects within the
tree. See procedure on p. 3-43.
Snap-in support for the NetW are administrator (NW ADMIN) utility is
provided for the print server. This offers a single point of control for
Administrators for NetW are Directory Services (NDS).
NWADMIN lets administrators manage the print server from a central
location.

8. In the “Preferred File Server:” field, enter the name of the Preferred File
Server that you want the KN-301 Print Server to attach to first. This
operation, in conjunction with listing all the file servers to be serviced on
this preferred file server, lets you connect directly to the file servers of
choice rather than having the KN-301 search for all file servers it is to service
(which may take a long time).
9. In the “Preferred NDS Context:” field, enter the preferred NDS context. The
Preferred NDS Context refers only to the context name, whether typed or
non-typed. Do not begin the context path with a trailing period (.). You do
not need to write a container name (KN-301 Print Server Name) because it
was provided in the field above. See example below:
ou=standard.o=organization_1 (KONICA)
10. In the “Preferred NDS Tree” field, enter the preferred NDS tree name. If
you don’t know what the tree name is, type WHOAMI at the DOS prompt.
11. The “Print Queue Scan Rate” lets you select how often the KN-301 polls
the Novell Netware queues to see if any new print jobs need to be serviced.
The default is one (1) second. Enter in the “Print Queue Scan Rate” field a
value between 1 and 255 seconds.
12. Select the “Ethernet Frame T ype:” you want the KN-301 to use. If you
select Auto-Sense, the correct frame type is automatically selected.
13. Click on the “Disable Bindery:” checkbox if you want to disable Bindery
Services. Bindery services is disabled if the checkbox is marked. When you
disable Bindery Services, the KN-301 will not support any of the print
servers on any Bindery file servers.
14. After completing the above steps, enter the password in the password
field, using lowercase letters, then click on “Accept Settings" to store the
new configuration settings in the KN-301’s nonvolatile memory.
NOTE: The default password is “sysadm.”
These changes will not take effect until you power down the Konica Printing
System, and then power it back on.

Configure Using NetW are 4.x Bindery Emulation
Overview
Novell’s NetWare 4.0x can operate in the Bindery Services Emulation mode
and NetW are Directory Services (NDS) mode (see NetWare Dir ectory
Services to configure the print server in this mode).
While Bindery Emulation services and NDS services run simultaneously and
transparently to each other, the print server may be configured to operate
with Bindery Services mode only, as described in this section; or with NDS
only . When configured under NDS, the print server will also service older file
servers operating in bindery mode.
NOTE: If the Bindery Services mode is not running, the print server will be unable to
find its file servers, and the status page will indicate that the Novell NetWare protocol is
not active.
Before installing the print server on a Novell NetW are 4.x server in Bindery
Emulation mode, first check to be sure the server has Bindery Context by
using the Confirming Bindery Context procedure on the next page.
If the server does not have Bindery Context, the Novell administrator must
execute either a SET command from the console prompt, or, modify the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file to include the proper SET command and restart the
server.
NOTE: The command entered from the console prompt takes effect immediately,
whereas, the definition in the autoexec file takes effect only when the server is shut
down and then restarted.

Using PCONSOLE
Confirming Bindery Context
Perform the following steps to determine if the server has Bindery Context:
1. Login to the server as ADMIN.
2. At the prompt, perform a DOS TYPE of Z:\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF .
3. When the file displays, look to see if you have a statement similar to
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=O=<Name>
Where =O=<Name> is a sample name for the file server context.
Use your own file server context in place of =O=<Name>.
<Name> is the designation for the Server Context, and is obtained by
starting PCONSOLE. The Server Context name is displayed in the upper left
corner of the A vailable Options menu screen. .
4. If no such name statement in on the screen, you must add that statement
to enable the KN-301 to work. In that case, exit from PCONSOLE and use a
DOS text editor to add the following statement to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT =O=KONICA_CORP
5. After adding the statement to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, you must power
down the server and restart it for the changes to take effect.
Or, as an alternative method, the network administrator can type the SET
command at the Server console to make changes immediately. In this case,
any changes will be in effect until the server is powered down and restarted again.
Important: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately ,
whereas, the definition in the autoexec file takes effect only when the server
is shut down and then restarted.

Primary File Server
When T o Define A Primary File Server
The procedure for defining a primary file server starts on the next page. A
primary file server should be defined only if you have a very large network
tied into many different sites with several file servers. This procedure is
performed with the PCONSOLE utility in the File Ser vers T o Be Serviced
option, details of which start on the next page.
If you do not wish to define a primary file server, go directly to the
PCONSOLE configuration procedure for your particular NetW are version.
The following information describes the effect on your system when a
primary file server is defined and not defined.
When a primary file server is defined -
• File servers require no more than a 1/4 second propagation delay.
• Minimum of two file servers can be placed on the file server list.
• The KN-301 searches for the primary server, starting with the
servers that are closest (0 hops), and works its way outward to a
maximum of four hops.
When the KN-301 finds a primary file server , the print server -
• Stops searching for other servers
• Reads the list of servers in NetWare’s PCONSOLE
• Attempts to attach to every server on the list, wherever located.
When a primary file server is not defined -
• File servers require no more that a 1/4 second propagation delay
• The KN-301 has a maximum limit of 16 file servers
• The KN-301 searches for file servers that are four hops or less
away. The four hops that KN-301 searches are the four LAN
segments directly connected to the first workstation or server.
NOTES:
1. The propagation delay is the time it takes for a packet of data to go from the file
server to the KN-301 unit.
2. A hop is a step in the data transmission from one node (a workstation or server)
through an intermediate node.

Section 5: UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Page 89
UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Overview
The following pages explain how to configure the Konica Print Server and
your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various environments.
Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows
systems and for most popular UNIX systems.
The Konica Print Server TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr
spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that
communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port.
This port number defaults to 10001, but may be changed to any desired
number using the Konica Network Management Utility.
You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for delivering IP
addresses to hosts through an IP network.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for network
management services.
SNMP is supported for Management Information Base (MIB) II over IP for
the print servers. This support allows you to query MIB II to get system
information about the print server.
Installation in a Windows Environment
Several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be used on
NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as on native Microsoft Windows
network. This flexibility allows various options for setting up the network
printing system even though this Konica Print Server does not support
Netbeui.
• If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare network,
configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard Windows/
NetWare utilities to provide access to the printer.
• If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/
IP. This section describes installation under W indows for Workgroups,
Windows 95, and Windows NT.
5-2 UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Page 90
UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Windows for Workgroups
UNIX Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP
capability; or that the workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT
server (for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not shared, an
lpr queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is
initiated. See Windows documentation about sharing printers.
Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/IP. However,
various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups
workstations, including a free TCP/ IP stack provided by Microsoft. Third
party lpr spoolers are available.
The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP stack and a
shareware lpr application that is available from various sources, including
the Konica Print Server manufacturer.
• You will need files WFWTCP32.zip and WFWTCP32.txt for TCP/IP, and
files WLPRS41.zip and wlprspl.txt for lpr.
• You will need the BOOTPL.exe file if you wish to use the BOOTP Lite
program to set up IP parameters. The BOOTPL.exe file is located on the
Konica Network Management Utility CDROM.
• WFWTCP32.zip, WLPRS41.zip, and BOOTPL.exe are both available for
downloading from the Konica WEB server located at: http://
www.kbm.com.

Installing TCP/IP
To set up TCP/IP on the workstations, follow the instructions in the text file
for the TCP/IP stack. These instructions are part of the self-exploding files
that you downloaded from the Web site. They are the copyright of Microsoft
and cannot be included here.
Loading the lpr Spooler
The Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 (wlprspl.txt), provides detailed
instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler.
Setting Up The Konica Print Server
The Konica Print Server must be given an IP address and routing information before being used with TCP/IP.
This can be accomplished with Konica Printer Management for Windows if
you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with Apple Administration Program for Macintosh if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network.
Follow the instructions for these programs provided in Section 3 or Section
4 (see Note).
NOTE: If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the BOOTP Lite program
described on p. 5-5 or the ARP procedure described on p. 5- 6.
Procedure prior to running these programs:
1. Install the Konica Print Server in your printer.
2. Power -up the printer.
3. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address.
It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the Protocol address is not
configured.
NOTE: If the unit already has an IP address, the IP Address procedures on the following
pages will not be required.

Windows for Workgroups
Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite
This procedure uses the BOOTP protocol. The Konica Print Server must be
on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to
configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
The BOOTPL.exe program works with a 16 Bit TCP/IP Stack (FTP,
NetManage, B&W, or WFWG).
1. Reset the print server.
NOTE: The BOOTP request is for a finite period of time. The print server must be freshly
reset for this to work.
2. From Program Manager under File, select Run \windows\ BOOTPL.exe.
3. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.
4. Enter the IP address (you want to assign to the Konica Print Server);
the Subnet Mask ( matching what you are using on your subnet); the
Default Gateway (your router's IP address); the MAC address of the
Konica Print Server (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as
Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet
rather than the dashes that Windows uses.
5. Click on Go. You will get a message that the program is Verifying, and
then it will tell you whether the unit is active or not.
6. Wait for about five minutes for the Konica Print Server to reset. The
Status sheet should report the newly entered IP information.
7. Enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
ping [IP address of Konica Print Server]
Continue until you get a reply. If you get no response, verify that TCP/IP is
enabled on the status sheet. If the IP information is not displayed on the
sheet, then repeat the above procedure.

Windows for Workgroups
Assigning IP Address with ARP
Use the following procedure to use ARP to configure the IP address.
1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box.
2. At the command prompt enter:
(a) ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server].
The identified unit should reply. If you do not ping the network, the
arp cache will be empty (no static entries), and you will receive an
error 2 message (after performing the next step).
(b) arp -s [IP address of Konica Print Server]
[MAC Address of Konica Print Server]
The entry should be accepted. You will receive an error 3 message
if Konica's Remote Access Software (RAS) is installed.
(c) ping [IP address of Konica Print Server].
The request should time out.
3. Recycle the power on the print server. The Konica Print Server will
produce a status page that should include the entered IP address.
4. When the Konica Print Server is up again, type the following at the
command prompt:
(a) ping [IP address of Konica Print Server]
Continue until you get a reply.
NOTE: This only enters the IP address. You must use the Konica Network Management
Utility to enter the other IP parameters.

UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Microsoft Windows 95
Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client
also requires an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources.
The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be
created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95
workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an Windows NT server
on the network.
The following instructions are based on a shareware lpr application that is
available from various sources, including the Konica Print Server manufacturer. You will need the wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr.
If you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program, you will also need the
ntBOOTP.exe file. The ntBOOTP.exe files provided on the Konica
Network Management Utility CDROM. ntBOOTP.exe and WLPRS41.zip
are also available for downloading from the Konica WEB server located at
http://www.kbm.com.

Default Gateway (your router's IP address); and the MAC address of the
Konica Print Server (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as
Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet
rather than the dashes Windows uses.

6. Wait about five minutes. The Konica Print Server should recycle and
produce a status sheet showing the IP parameters you have just entered.
7. Pull down Admin menu to Verify. You should get a message back stating
that the Unit is Active. If you do not get this message, check that TCP/IP is
enabled on the status sheet

Windows NT Instructions
Assigning IP Address With ARP
1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]
The identified unit should reply.
NOTE: You need to ping something on your network prior to using the arp -s command.
Windows NT will not allow you to add an entry to an empty arp cache.
arp -s [IP address of the Konica Print Server] [MAC Address of
the Konica Print Server]. The entry should be accepted.
ping [IP address of the Konica Print Server].
Request should time out.
2. Recycle the power on the printer or let the Konica Print Server reset itself.
The Konica Print Server will produce a status page that should include the
entered IP address.
3. When the Konica Print Server is up again, at the command prompt, enter:
ping [IP address of Konica Print Server]
Continue until you get a reply.
NOTE: This only enters the IP address. Use the ntBOOTP Program or any standard Internet
Web Browser to change the IP parameters.
