How the Printer Board works

The Printer Board receives ﬁles from computers on the networ k, processes (RIP s) those ﬁles, and then sends them to the copier’s print engine for printing. Even with the Printer Board installed, you can still use your copier to make copies.

Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Printer Board by means of a PostScript printer driver and a PostScript printer description ﬁle (PPD). Windows computers can also communicate with the Printer Board by means of a P rinter Control Language (PCL) printer driver and a PDD ﬁle. Both drivers enable you to use all the special features of the Printer Board from the Print dialog box.

About printer drivers and printer description ﬁles

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application software and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application software, merges those instructions with printer-speciﬁc options you specify (see below), and translates all that information into PCL or PostScript, a language the Printer Board understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PCL or P ostScript ﬁle based on your original ﬁle and the options you set from the Print dialog box.

A printer description ﬁle contains information about a particular device’s features and capabilities (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver reads the information in the ﬁle and presents that information to you in the form of options you can choose from the Print dialog box. The printer description ﬁles for the Printer Board include information about the features of both the copier and the Printer Board. For details, see Appendix A, “Print Options.”

xix Network administration features

Network administration features

Printer Board software offers several important features that affect y ou as a networ k or printer administrator:

• Direct (native) support of NDS with NetWare 4.x

NetWare 4.x can also be supported in bindery emulation.

NOTE: NDS is an abbreviation for either Novell Directory Services or NetWare

Directory Services. The two names are used interchangeably.

• Simultaneous NetWare 4.x and NetWare 3.12 connections supported

One NetWare 4.x NDS tree and up to eight NetWare 3.12 bindery servers (or NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation mode) can be connected to the Printer Board.

• Support for Windows (SMB) printing

Windows printing, also known as SMB (Server Message B lock) printing, allows you to print on TCP/IP networks using built-in Microsoft networking support and without additional network software. Printing using SMB allows you to print from your computer to a particular queue (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Printer Board.

• Fiery utilities

Fiery Downloader can be run from Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers. Fiery Spooler is supported on only Mac OS computers.

• Fiery WebTools (Status, WebSpooler, WebLink, and Installer)

Fiery W ebTools allow you to manage the Printer Board fr om the Internet or from y our company’s intranet. WebTools are supported on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 computers. To use the Fiery WebTools, you need to set certain options in Network Setup and Printer Setup.

• Job tracking

Job Logs can include two user-entered Notes fields.

xx Introduction

• Support for PCL and PostScript

PCL (Printer Control Language) and PostScript™ are both page description languages—computer languages that control the transfer of information from the computer to the controller. Both PCL and PostScript, along with separate sets of fonts, come standard with the Printer Board.

NOTE: Mac OS computers do not support the PCL features of the Printer Board.

1-1 Printer Board on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a Konica 7040 Printer Board and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters for completing your installation.

Printer Board on the network

When the Printer Board is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer. The built-in 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet interface on the Printer Board supports the following network protocols:

• AppleTalk

• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols) TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd proto-

col is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (SMB) printing. The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets.

• IPX/SPX (Novell) IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to the Printer Board parallel port.

A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX protocols. The Printer Board is auto-sensing and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add the Printer Board to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Physically connecting the Printer Board to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring network servers

• Printer Board Setup

Stages of installation on the network

Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:

Prepare a network node for the Printer Board—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Printer Board will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface of the Printer Board. See page 1-11 for details.

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Printer Board as a PostScript or PCL printer. See Chapter 3 for information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

Conﬁgure the Printer Board for your particular printing and network environment. See Chapter 2 for details.

• Client setup

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Printer Board over the network. These steps are described in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, and some information is provided in Chapter 3 of this manual.

• System administration

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 4 for details.

Prepare a network node. Connect the Printer Board to the network.

Conﬁgure UNIX, Windows NT and IPX (Novell) servers to specify Printer Board print queues and Printer Board users.

Install PCL and PostScript printer drivers and Fiery utilities on the server.

Mac OS computers use PostScript printing features, not PCL. No special conﬁguration of AppleShare servers is required.

On the Printer Board Touch Panel Display, conﬁgure Server Setup, Network Setup, Printer Setup, PS Setup, PCL Setup, and Job Log Setup.

At each workstation that will print to the Printer Board:

• Install the appropriate printer drivers, and connect to one or more queues.

• For computers that will use the WebTools, install an Internet browser.

• Verify the Printer Board in the list of printers and run a test print.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and for using remote utilities. To use the diagrams, ﬁnd the page with your preferred platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books referred to in the keys.

The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star conﬁguration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual.

If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Note that multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Printer Board with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.

Token Ring hardware is required for connection to a Token Ring network. Token Ring drivers are already included with Printer Board system software. See Appendix D for details. The IPX/SPX and TCP/IP functionality outlined in this section is available on both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. AppleTalk is supported on Ethernet only.

The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:
