This allows to detect the network printers connected by IP/IPX and enables access to Web
utilities incorporated in the KN-304 Network Board to set up the network and printers with the
aid of the Web browser.

IP-P2P

This enables peer-to-peer printing by TCP/IP from Windows 95/98.

■ Network setting procedures

Before you use the KN-304 Network Board, it is needed to set up the system and perform some preparatory
tasks. The procedures depend on the system environment.

● For peer-to-peer printing from Windows 95/98

A printer can be connected in the form of so-called “peer-to-peer” to produce printout without using a print
server in a LAN (Local Area Network) consisting only of Windows 95/98. The setup procedure is as follo ws.
See Chapter 2, Setting up from the LCD Panel, for more detail of Step 1, and Chapter 3, Peer-to-Peer
Printing (Windows 95/98), for Steps 2-4.

Set up the KN-304 Network Board for TCP/IP from the Konica Sitios 7020’s LCD panel.
Set up your computer (Windows 95/98) for TCP/IP.
Install “IP-P2P” from the CD-ROM provided.
Install the printer driver.

● For lpr/lpd printing from Windows NT

To produce printout by lpr/lpd from Windows NT, the setup procedure is as follo ws. See Chapter 2, Setting
up from the LCD Panel, for more detail of Step 1, and Chapter 4, Printing by lpd/lpr, for Steps 2-4.

Set up the KN-304 Network Board for TCP/IP from the Konica 7020’s LCD panel.
Set up your computer (Windows NT) for TCP/IP.
Install “Microsoft TCP/IP Print” if not installed yet.
Install the printer driver.

KN-304 Network Board 1-3

Chapter 1 KN-304 Network Board overview

● Use of NetWare

To produce printout in a network of Novell NetWare , the setup procedures depend on the NetWare version
and resource management. See Chapter 2, Setting up from the LCD Panel, for more detail of Step 1, and
Chapter 4, NetWare Setup, for Step 2.

With NetWare 2.x or 3.x

Define the server name, etc. of the KN-304 Network Board from the Konica 7020’ s LCD panel.
Set up the print server functions by PCONSOLE.

By NDS with NetWare 4.x

Define the server name, etc. of the KN-304 Network Board from the Konica 7020’ s LCD panel.
Set up the print server functions by NWADMIN.

By bindery emulation with NetWare 4.x

Define the server name, etc. of the KN-304 Network Board from the Konica 7020’ s LCD panel.
Set up the print server functions by PCONSOLE.
