1 Getting Started

1.1 System Requirements

Operating System

• Microsoft Windows 95

• Microsoft Windows 98

• Microsoft Windows Me

• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

• Microsoft Windows 2000

When the ne twork interface card is installed, the print controller will run in the following environments.

Client operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000 Network interface type Ethernet 10/100Base-T Network protocol TCP/IP, IPX/SPX

2 Connecting to a Computer

Connect the print controller to the computer using either of the following two methods.

To connect to the parallel port

Using a parallel cable, locally connect the printer directly to a computer.

Refer to “2.1 Connecting to the Parallel Port (Local Connection)” on page 3.

To connect to the Ethernet 10/100Base-T port

If the printer is to be used on a network, connect it using a 10/100BaseT cable.

Refer to “2.2 Connecting to the Ethernet 10/100Base-T Port (Network Connection)” on page 4.

Important!

• If the printer is to be used on a network, the optional network interface card KN-305 must be installed.

2 Connecting to a Computer

2.1 Connecting to the Parallel Port (Local Connection)

Use the parallel cable to connect the parallel port of the print controller to the parallel port of the computer.

Important!

• Be sure to use a shielded parallel cable. Use of an unshielded cable may result in radio frequency interference.

• The parallel port is compatible with IEEE1284 Type B standards.

1. Make sure that the Digital Copier and the computer to be connected to the Digital Copier are both turned OFF.

2. Connect one end of the parallel cable to the parallel port (printer port) of the computer.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port of the print controller installed in the Digital Copier.

This completes the connection of the print controller to the computer.

2 Connecting to a Computer

2.2 Connecting to the Ethernet 10/100Base-T P ort

(Network Connection)

If the printer is to be used on a network, connect the network interface card to the network (LAN).

Important!

• This connection requires the optional network interface card KN-305.

• Be sure to use a shielded cable f or the Ethernet 10/100Base-T cable. Use of an unshielded cable ma y result in radio frequency interference.

1. Make sure that the Digital Copier is turned OFF.

2. Connect one end of the Ethernet 10/100Base-T cable to the 10/ 100Base-T port of the network interface card, and then connect the other end of the cable to the hub.

This completes the network connection.
