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.

Page 20

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.

Page 28

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.

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.

See Chapters 2 and 3 for details.

Ethernet cable connection

The Printer Board supports Ethernet cabling of three types:

• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base2)

Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the Printer Board.

• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)

Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Printer Board.

Page 38

1-12 Connecting to the Network

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), deﬁned as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT or

deﬁned as Category 3 or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Printer

Board.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Printer Board is 100BaseTX, also known

as Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.

2. Conﬁgure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.

Page 40

1-14 Connecting to the Network

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the Printer Board can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed, bidirectional parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.

The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:

1. With the copier and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to the parallel port of the Printer Board.

See the illustration on page 1-12 for the location of the parallel port.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.

3. Turn on the computer and the copier.

4. Proceed to Setup.

To print to the parallel port, you need to set up the parallel port connection (see “Parallel Port Setup options” on page 2-16). For information on setting up printing, see Chapter 5 and Chapter 6; for printing to the parallel port, see Chapter 9.

2-1 About Printer Board Setup

Chapter 2:

Performing Printer Board Setup

The Konica 7040 Printer Board ﬁts into a variety of work environments. To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial conﬁguration to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do.

About Printer Board Setup

When the Printer Board is power ed on after new system software is loaded, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Touch Panel Display screens. After that, the Server, Network, Printer, PS, PCL, and Job Log Setups, in that order, can be conﬁgured from the Touch Panel Display.

Perform initial Printer Board Setup in the sequence of Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup. If you do not conﬁgure the remaining Setups, the Printer Board uses default settings. These defaults allow the Printer Board to reach the Idle state, but might not allow users to print to the Printer Board. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Network server setup requirements

On NetWare or Windows NT networks, the network servers must be conﬁgured for printing to the Printer Board before you enter network settings on the Printer Board. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for Network Setup.

For Setup, you’ll need a live network connection so the Printer Board can query the network for zones, servers, server-based queues, and other essential information.

Whenever the configuration of servers, the copier, or the network itself changes at your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment. Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the corresponding settings.

NOTE: Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more

than one Setup area.

Page 42

2-2 Performing Printer Board Setup

Printer Board Setup from the Operation Panel

Setup, performed from the Operation Panel Display right after powering on or rebooting the Printer Board, conﬁgures the Printer Board to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.

There are six groups of Setup options:

• Server Setup to specify system options

• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that will transmit print jobs

to the Printer Board

• Printer Setup to specify how print jobs and queues are managed

• PS (PostScript) Setup to specify PostScript settings

• PCL (Printer Control Language) Setup to specify output defaults such as font

source, resolution, and paper size

• Job Log Setup to specify how the Printer Board handles its log of printed jobs

The Setup menus also allow you to create and change an Administrator password and clear the jobs queued on the Printer Board.

Page 52

2-12 Performing Printer Board Setup

Network Setup options

Network Setup conﬁgures the Printer Board to receive print jobs over the network systems that will be used at your site. In the Setup menu, choose Network Setup.

The Network Setup menu includes three submenus that let you choose port types, protocols, and network services.

For each item you enable, you are prompted to enter settings pertaining to that item. In Network Setup you specify network addresses and names to be used by workstations, servers, and the Printer Board when they communicate with each other.

You need to display and select options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your network requirements change, you can change N etwork Setup at any time.

If the Printer Board is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches to the correct protocol when it receives a print job. When the parallel port and one or two network ports are enabled, print jobs can be received over all of those ports at the same time.

The available network types, and the Setup areas that pertain to them, are summarized in the following tables.

Service Setup options

Network Service Setup has options for TCP/IP and IPX/SPX networks, as well as for local area Windows (SMB) printing.

• LPD Setup enables lpd printing on TCP/IP networks.

• Windows Setup enables the Microsoft SMB protocol, which supports peer to peer

printing, also known as Windows printing or SMB printing.

• For IPX/SPX networks, PServer Setup allows you to enter the names of the Novell

objects that are concerned with Printer Board print jobs.

• Web Services Setup enables the http protocol and, therefore, use of the WebTools.

PServer is a program in the Printer Board that services all the Novell print queues assigned to the Novell print servers you have set up for printing to the Printer Board. When you choose PServer Setup and enable PServer, you can set up NDS (Novell Directory Services), Bindery Services, or both. NDS is used with NetWare 4.x; Bindery Services are used with NetWare 3.x or with NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode.

Before entering NDS settings, be sure the Printer Board is connected to the network and you have already conﬁgured an NDS directory tree with a Printer, a Print Server, and one or more Print Queue objects for Printer Board jobs (see page 3-4). To perform NDS Setup you may need permission to browse the NDS tree. If access to the Print Server is restricted, you’ll need a login password.

The main objective of NDS Setup is to specify the Print Server object. In addition, you can indicate the location of the Printer Board print queues.

Note that the terms NetWare server, Novell server, and IPX server are in common use and are used here interchangeably to mean the server on an IPX network running Novell NetWare networking software.

Enable NDS No/Yes [No]

Select Yes if the NetWare servers you will use to print to the Printer Board are running NetWare 4.x in native mode.

In Printer Board Printer Setup, you decide how the Printer Board manages print jobs by deciding which printing connections should be “published” to users over the network. The Direct connection and Print queue are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If you don’t want users to print to a connection, don’t publish it.

The Printer Board publishes two types of connections: the Direct connection and queues. At least one connection to the Printer Board must be published.

Direct connection

Jobs are transmitted to the Printer Board Direct connection only when the Printer Board is ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Printer Board is ready, and are processed as soon as a prior job is ﬁnished, before the next queued job is processed.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Printer Board hard disk. The jobs appear in the WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler displays of current jobs, but they cannot be selected for reprinting, moving or deletion. Therefore the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive jobs. If you plan to download fonts to the Printer Board via the network, you must publish the Direct connection.

NOTE: You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,

however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.

Queues

A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print jobs are being sent to the Printer Board. When a job is printed to a P rinter Boar d queue, it is stored on the Printer Board hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk, quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.

Remote users can print only to published connections. However, job storage areas for all queues exist on the server, so that administrators or other users of Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler (Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95) can move or copy jobs to the Print or Hold queue, whether or not these queues are published.

Page 77

2-37 Printer Setup options

The Printer Board hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and Printed). Users may print to two of them (Print and Hold).

• Print queue—This is the standard Printer Board queue. The Printer Board prints

jobs from the Print queue in the order in which they were received. If you plan to use the Fiery utilities, you must publish the Print queue.

• Hold queue—The Hold queue can be used for storing jobs that will be printed at a

later time, and jobs that will be printed repeatedly. The Hold queue requires some administration. In order to print a job sent to the Hold queue, the job has to be moved or copied from the Hold queue to the P rint queue. P rinting and deleting jobs from the Hold queue requires Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler.

• Printed queue—The Printed queue is a job storage area on the Printer Board disk; it

contains the most recent jobs printed from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. A Server Setup option enables this queue and governs the maximum number of jobs retained in it at any given time (see page 2-11). Reprinting jobs in this queue requires Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler.

Printer Setup options

• Specifying the Printer Board connection for parallel jobs when a parallel connection

is enabled

In the list of options that follows, default values, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

Page 78

2-38 Performing Printer Board Setup

Publish Direct Connection Yes/No [Yes]

This option enables users to print (or download) jobs to the Printer Board without spooling. Note that jobs printed to the Direct connection are not saved in the Printed queue.

If you plan to download fonts from any system to the Printer Boar d, you must publish the Direct connection. If you do not want users to print to Direct, choose No.

Publish Print Queue Yes/No [Yes]

This option enables users to print (or download) jobs to the Print queue. Jobs that are printed to the Print queue are spooled to the Printer Board disk and printed on a ﬁrstin, ﬁrst-out basis. Only queues published in the Printer Setup are available to remote users.

• If you are printing to the Printer Board over a TCP/IP network, you must publish

either (or both) the Print queue and the Hold queue.

• If you are printing to the Printer Board over the parallel port, you must publish a

queue or publish the Direct connection.

• If you plan to use the Fiery utilities or the WebTools on any system, you must pub-

lish the Print queue.

Publish Hold Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Use this option to enable users to print (or download) jobs to the Hold queue. Jobs in the Hold queue can only be printed by copying or moving the jobs to the Print queue with Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler. If you do not want users to print to Hold, choose

No.

Parallel Connection Direct Connect/Print Queue/Hold Queue [Print Queue]

Use this option to determine where jobs printed to the parallel port are sent. Only the queues that you published are displayed.

This option appears only if you selected Yes for the Enable Parallel Port option in Network Setup.

Page 79

2-39 PS Setup options

If only one of the queues is published, this option does not appear and parallel port jobs are automatically printed to that queue.

Personality Auto/PCL/PostScript [Auto]

This option determines whether the PCL or PostScript printer drivers are in effect, or whether the Printer Board makes the determination automatically. In Auto mode, the Printer Board senses whether a job is PostScript or PCL and chooses the driver accordingly. In PCL or PostScript mode, the Printer Board is restricted to PCL or PostScript jobs respectively. See PCL Options on page 2-41 and PostScript Options on page 2-39 for more information. Also see Appendix A.

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to activate any changes made in the Printer Setup; select No to return to the main Setup menu without making any changes.

PS Setup options

PS (PostScript) Setup options allow you to set defaults for Printer Board behavior. Most of these defaults can be overridden from within an application.

TO ACCESS POSTSCRIPT SETUP OPTIONS:

Default Paper Sizes US/Metric [US]

Specify whether to print on US paper sizes (for example, letter, legal, tabloid), or Metric paper sizes (for example, A4, A3) by default. When no page size is deﬁned within a PostScript ﬁle, jobs are printed on Letter paper if you selected US, or A4 paper if you selected Metric.

Page 80

2-40 Performing Printer Board Setup

Convert Paper Sizes No Letter/11x17->A4/A3 A4/A3->Letter/11x17 [No]

Specify whether to convert paper sizes in documents automatically to the default paper sizes speciﬁed. For example, if you selected Letter/11x17->A4/A3, a letter size document would automatically be printed on A4 paper. If you select No, the server only prints the document if it ﬁnds a media source in the size speciﬁed by the ﬁle.

Print Cover Page No/Yes [No]

Use this option to specify whether the Printer Boar d prints a cover (job summary) page at the end of each print job. If you select Yes, each print job is followed by a page containing the name of the user who sent the job, the document name, the server name, the time the job was printed, the number of pages printed, and the status of the job. If a PostScript error occurred and the Print to PS Error option is set to Yes, the status entry will be the PostScript error message.

Allow Courier Substitution Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when you download PostScript ﬁles to the P rinter Boar d, or when you print a document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font. If this option is set to that are not available on the Printer Board hard drive generate a PostScript error and do not print.

Print to PS Error No/Yes [No]

Use this option to specify whether the Printer Boar d should print the available portion of a print job when it encounters a PostScript error. Select Yes to print the portion of the job that was processed before the error occurred; select No to cancel the print job entirely when a PostScript error is encountered. We recommend leaving this option at

No unless you encounter printing problems.

NOTE: If you intend to download fonts, be sure to set this option to No.

2-43 Administrative functions in the Setup menu

Administrative functions in the Setup menu

The remaining options in the Setup menu are intended to help you manage print jobs but are not required for printing:

•In Job Log Setup you specify whether you want the Printer Board to print and

clear its log of printed jobs automatically. See the next section for details.

• Change Password enables you to create or change an administrator password on the

Printer Board so that users cannot enter the Setup menus and change Printer Board settings without permission. In addition, the administrator password controls remote job management functions via Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler. The administrator password prevents Printer Board users from reprinting print jobs, moving print jobs (changing their priority or their queue), and deleting or conﬁguring jobs, other than their own. See Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 for details.

• Clear Server clears all queued print jobs from the server—jobs in the Printer Board

Print, Hold, Direct, and Printed queues. The Job Log is cleared at the same time. If an administrator password has been set, unauthorized users will not see this command (or any of the administrative or Setup options).

Job Log Setup

The Fiery Job Log is a record of all jobs processed or printed on the Printer Board, whether they originate from a user workstation, a networked server, the Printer Board, or a computer attached to the parallel port. The Job Log can be printed at any time from the server or remotely from a workstation running Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler.

The printed Job Log lists accounting information about each job including user name, document name, time and date printed, and number of pages. Users printing from Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, and Mac OS computers can also enter job-specific notes that appear in the Job Log. See Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 for details.

By default, the Job Log is not printed or cleared automatically. You can change these defaults in Job Log Setup. You can also clear the Job Log from Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler.

• Scroll the main Setup menu to choose Job Log Setup.

• Enter the options as described below. When you have ﬁnished, save changes.

Job Log Setup options

Default values for the following options, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs Yes/No [No]

Use this option to specify whether you want the Printer Board to print the Job Log after every 55 jobs. If accounting for each printed page is important at your site, and an administrator checks the printed output, set the Job Log for automatic printing.

Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 Jobs Yes/No [No]

Use this option to specify whether to clear the Job Log after every 55 jobs. If you do not enable this option, and do not clear the Job Log from the Printer Board or Fiery Spooler or WebSpooler, the Printer Board saves a record of all jobs.

NOTE: In addition to Auto Clearing or manual clearing through Fiery Spooler or Web-

Spooler, the Job Log (together with all queued jobs) is also cleared when you choose Clear Server from the main Setup menu, when system software is reinstalled, or when a new version of system software is installed on the Printer Board.

Job Log Page Size Tabloid/A3 Letter/A4 [Tabloid/A3]

Select the paper size for printing the Job Log. Regar dless of page size, 55 jobs ar e listed on a page. The paper size used depends on the Default Paper Sizes setting in PS Setup .

3-1 Printer Board on an IPX network

Chapter 3: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share printing to the Printer Board. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Printer Board. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the requirements for network clients to print to the Printer Board and to run Fiery Downloader and WebTools.

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, skip to page 3-18. For information on UNIX workstations, skip to page 3-27.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

Printer Board on an IPX network

The NetWise™ software built into the Printer Board supports the following network operating environments:

• NetWare 4.x—Novell Directory Services (NDS)

• NetWare 3.12—Bindery services

• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell ﬁle server running NetWare

3.12, or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Printer Board through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in Chapter 5, and printing is described in Chapter 9.

Page 90

3-2 Setting up Network Servers

The Printer Board can accept jobs concurrently from N etWare, Windows NT 4.0, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT or UNIX workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS or Windows NT 4.0 computers can print either via the NetWare server or directly.

The Printer Board can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix D describes the Token Ring option.) During Printer Board setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Printer Board and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are speciﬁed in a startup ﬁle when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

NOTE: Ethernet and Token Ring cannot be used simultaneously.

In addition to printing, Fiery Downloader is available to Windows 95 users with IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols loaded. With Fiery Downloader, Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the Printer Board directly, not through the NetWare server.

NOTE: Fiery utilities are not available to Windows 3.1x users.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the Printer Board is similar to setting up another printer on the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators need.

A Printer Board with IPX connections has these characteristics:

• Both NetWare 3.12 and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also supported through bindery emulation.

• A minimum connection to the Printer Board consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.

• A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be conﬁgured simultaneously.

This limit is the same regardless of whether the Printer Board is connected to the network via Ethernet or via Token Ring.

Page 91

3-3 Tips for experts—IPX networks

• The Printer Board looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

• Each print server can store jobs for any queue on the Printer Board.

• Windows 95 workstations (whether a Novell server is present or not) can use IPX/SPX protocols for communicating with the Printer Board directly to run Fiery Downloader.

Overview of IPX printing to the Printer Board

NetWare ﬁle servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare ﬁle server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation.

The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection and the Print, and Hold queues on the Printer Board. The NetWare queue names should be given an extension corresponding to the Printer Board queue, as follows:

_print _hold _direct

NOTE: The extension names must be in all lowercase and must be in English.

There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however you should turn off and turn on the Printer Board after a queue is created or r emo v ed.

When the Printer Board is conﬁgured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Hold to Hold, Direct to Direct. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.

Page 92

3-4 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare ﬁle server so that networked users can print to the Printer Board from their workstations, and the P rinter Boar d can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.

For each NetWare ﬁle server that you conﬁgur e, follo w these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.

• Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

• Log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare ﬁle server.

• For NetWare 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 3-6).

• For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 3-9).

• For NetWare 3.12 and for NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle server, a

print server, and a print queue for the Printer Board (see page 3-12).

With bindery services, you can route all Printer Board print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle Printer Board jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, on the Printer Board, and on the client workstation, are summarized in the following tables. The ﬁrst table applies to NDS connections, the second to bindery connections.

Complete the operations in the left column, then the center column, then the right column.

3-6 Setting up Network Servers

Setting up an NDS connection

In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context which deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Printer Board you are mainly concerned with deﬁning a printer, a print server object and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator programs (PCONSOLE or NETADMIN which are textbased, or NetWare Administrator which has a graphical user interface and context-sensitive help).

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers (which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects). Access to objects is controlled by rights that are deﬁned as properties of each object. Rights are established by network administrators.

NOTE: The procedures that follow work with all versions of NetWare 4.x. With

NetWare 4.11 or later, you can combine the procedures using the Print Services Quick Setup dialog box.

TO CREATE AN NDS PRINT QUEUE:

1. Start NetWare Administrator and select the container in which you are going to deﬁne the print queue for the Printer Board.

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Printer Board. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation, which causes the 4.x server to behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.12 server.

NOTE: The ﬁle server selected must not be in the same tree as that selected in NDS

Setup.

Up to eight bindery servers, whether in native 3.12 mode or in 4.x emulation, can connect to the Printer Board.

If your server is using NetWare 3.12, proceed to “Setting up a Printer Board print queue for bindery” on page 3-12.

In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Printer Board, the network administrator must do the following:

• Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and

the print queue for the Printer Board will be created. The container deﬁnes the “bindery context” for your network structure.

• Edit the network startup ﬁle to set the bindery context.

• Activate the new bindery context.

This section describes the second and third steps. Given the variety of possible network structures, it is impractical to suggest a bindery context that applies to every network.

3-10 Setting up Network Servers

TO SET THE BINDERY CONTEXT:

1. Establish a connection with the server which will have the Printer Board queue.

This is best done by the network administrator using PSERVER from the server console. It can also be done remotely using the RCONSOLE utility. For more information, refer to your NetWare documentation.

2. At the NetWare prompt type load install.

The NetWare Server Installation window is displayed.

3. Use the down arrow key to select Maintenance/Selective Install.

The Installations Options menu is displayed.

4. Select NCF Files Options.

5. From the menu of available NCF ﬁles, choose Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.

6. Type a new line anywhere in the ﬁle as follows:

set Bindery Context = enter your bindery context here

NOTE: After the “=” sign, type the bindery context obtained from the system adminis-

trator.

7. Press Esc to close the window, and save changes.

8. Proceed to the next section to activate the bindery context.

3-12 Setting up Network Servers

TO ACTIVATE THE BINDERY CONTEXT:

1. If you cannot reboot the NetW ar e serv er at this point, type the set command manually at the server’s colon prompt.

Use the same command as you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle (in step 6 of the previous procedure).

2. If you can reboot the NetWare server, the set command is loaded automatically.

You are ready to set up the Printer Board print server and print queue. See the next section for details.

Setting up a Printer Board print queue for bindery

For NetWare 3.12 and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWare print server and print queue for Printer Board are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, ﬁrst you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup on the Printer Board Touch Panel Display.

TO SET UP A NETWARE SERVER FOR PRINTING TO THE PRINTER BOARD :

1. Log in to the NetWare server as the Supervisor.

2. At the NetWare MS-DOS prompt, type

If you are using NetWare 4.x in bindery mode, Print Console (PCONSOLE) has two modes. Press the F4 key to switch to Bindery mode.

The Available Options menu is displayed.

3. Choose Change Current File Server and press Enter.
