1 Getting Ready

1 Getting Ready

1.1 System Requirements

Operating System

• Microsoft Windows 95

• Microsoft Windows 98

• Microsoft Windows Me

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation Version 4. 0

• Microsoft Windows 2000

When the ne twork interface card is installed, th e printer controller will run
in the following environment.

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

1

2 Connecting to a Computer

2 Connecting to a Computer

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

To connect to the parallel port

Using a parallel cable, local ly 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 NC-3 must be installed.

2

2 Connecting to a Computer

2.1 Connecting to the Parallel Por t (Local Connection)

Use the parallel cable to connect the parallel port of the printer 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 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 c able to the parallel port of the printer con­troller installed in the Dig i tal Copier.

This comple tes the connection of the printer controller to the computer.

3

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 NC-3.

• Be sure to use a shielded cable for the Ethernet 10/100Base-T cable.
Use of an unshielded cable may 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.

9.1 Assigning IP Parameters Using Initializer

BOOTP is a protocol for assigning IP parameters to a Network Interface
Card (NIC). When Initia lizer is ru n on a com puter, a BOOTP request f rom a
NIC causes IP parameters that match the MAC address of the NIC to be
assigned to the NIC.

Requirements

• Computer must have TCP/IP installed and enabled.

• NIC must be connected to the same subnetwork as the computer run­ning Initializer.

Note

• Initializer does not operate properly on a network running a DHCP
server.

• If you have already set a fixed IP address, the Copier setting must be
set to “Assign automatically” or “AUTO”. Refer to “6.1.1 IP Address”
on page 40 or “6.2.1 IP Address” on page 44.

9.1.1 Using Initializer

1. To check the MAC address of the NIC, print out the Configuration
Page.

For details on printing the Configuration Page, refer to “5.1.5
Outputting a Report” on pa ge 30 or “5.2.6 Outputting a Report” on
page 37.

2. On the computer you want to use, maneuver to the directory you want
and copy the “
