Chapter 4 Printing by lpd/lpr (Windows NT)

The KN-304 Network Board is provided with the standard print server protocol (lpd) for TCP/IP. So , y ou can use TCP/IP print service (lpr) from a computer of Windo ws NT 4.0 and up (hereafter noted as Windo ws NT).

The network protocol used for printing by lpd/lpr is TCP/IP and therefore the KN-304 Network Board must be set up for TCP/IP in advance.

For each of the Windows NT computers that perform printing by lpd/lpr, it is needed to set up TCP/IP, Microsoft TCP/IP printing and printer driver.

■ Basic TCP/IP setup

Select [Network] from the [Control Panel] of a Windows NT computer that uses a printer via the KN-304 Network Board. Then the [Network] dialog box appears. Click the [Configuration] tab and make sure that [TCP/IP Protocol] exists in the list of Network Protocols. If it is not found, add TCP/IP. See Windows NT Help or something else for how to add TCP/IP.

When “TCP/IP” exists in the [Network Protocols] list, make sure of the values of IP address, etc. Select [TCP/IP] and click the Properties button. The [Microsoft TCP/IP Properties] dialog box appears. Click the [IP Address] tab and confirm or define the TCP/IP address and subnet mask assigned to the computer . Set up on another panel as necessary. Click the [OK] button to return to the [Network] dialog box.

Next, click the [Identification] tab in the [Network] dialog box and confirm the name given to the computer. Click the [OK] button to finish the setup procedure.

■ Printer Driver Setup from Client

When the printer connected for Microsoft TCP/IP Print Service is set up as a shared printer, a Windows computer set up as a Microsoft network client can be connected to the printer.

To use a shared printer, each client should install the printer driver (Konica IP-011 Nozomi) and, for this purpose, use [setup.exe] held in the [95 nozomi] or [Ntnozomi] folder. The setup program allows to install not only the printer driver but the Konica IP-011 Nozomi Printer Tools and Readme.txt. Use the Printer Tools from a computer connected in parallel with the printer. The Printer Tools cannot be used when connection is made by TCP/IP.

For more detail of the printer driver, refer to the instruction manual of the Konica IP-011 Printer Controller.

Set the CD-ROM containing the printer driver in the CD-ROM drive. Double-click [Setup .exe] in the [95nozomi] folder if the client’ s OS is Windows 95/98, or in the

[Ntnozomi] folder if the OS is Windows NT, to start the installer. When the startup screen of the installer has appeared, click the [Next] button. The [Software License Agreement] screen appears. Click [Yes] if you agree.

Chapter 5 NetWare Setup

To print with the Konica 7020 series fitted with the KN-304 Network Board by using Novell NetWare, the setup procedures depend on the NetWare version and the method of resource management.

■ Setup for NetWare 2.x/3.x

Before setting up NetWare, you have to define the print server name, etc., from the 7020 series machine’s LCD panel or MAP (Web utility). See Chapter 6, Setup Utility MAP, for setting up NetW are by MAP. See the manual of Novell NetWare for setting up with PCONSOLE.

The setup procedure of NetWare 2.x/3.x is as f ollows . To perform this procedure, you must be autorized as supervisor.

Start up PCONSOLE and select the file server to use. Generate and assign a print queue. Define KN-304 as the print server. Define the notification list/password as necessary. Set up the primary file server as necessary.

On completion of setup, turn off printer’s main po wer and turn it on again. The printer will print out a network setup list indicating the file servers fitted with KN-304 and the queues that the file servers will service.

MEMO

The primary file sever must be defined if the network is of a large scale and connects many sites having more than one file server. PCONSOLE should be used to set up the primary file sever.

5-2 KN-304 Network Board

Chapter 5 NetWare Setup

■Setup for NetWare 4.x

Novell NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes, NetWare Director y Ser vice (NDS) and Binder y Emulation Service (Bindery Emulation). Bindery Emulation Service and NDS will be executed simultaneously. It is also possible to set up the print server so that it operates only in Bindery Emulation Service mode or in NDS mode.

The print server set up for NDS mode will also service the file server of an old version operating in Bindery mode.

If NDS is not set up properly for the print server card and Bindery Service mode is not operating, the print server card cannot find the file server and Novell NetW are protocol will be indicated as inactive in the network setup list.

● Setup information

NDS

NetWare Directory Service (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects such as printers, print server and print queues. With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which, once configured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server. NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network database rather than a individually defined physical sites. The result is greatly improved print server setup and management.

Bindery emulation

The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherev er it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data f ound in the DIB but thte data is stored in the NetWare Binery. The DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned.

The Directory uses an object-oriented structure, rather than the flat-file structure of the Bindery , and offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access f ound in the Bindery .

KN-304 Network Board 5-3

Chapter 5 NetWare Setup

The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through Bindery emulation mode. Section 4.3 descr ibes Print Ser ver Operation with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed. Be aware that information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications making Binder y requests will not know the difference.

● NDS setup

Web utility

This is used for conte xt setup of the KN-304 print server . See “Chapter 6, Setup Utility MAP”, for more detail.

Novell NWADMIN

Novell NWADMIN (NetWare Administration) is used to generate a directory tree and print queue objects in the print server, printer and tree.

The KN-304 is provided with a plug-and-play f eature to support NetWare administration utility (NWADMIN) that enables the NDS administrator to perform centralized management of print servers.

Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of Setup with NWADMIN.

PCONSOLE

NetWare allows of the use of PCONSOLE as an alternative of NWADMIN. PCONSOLE is used to set up static information of print servers, like which of the queues to service, to whom information is to be given in case of trouble.

Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of setup with PCONSOLE of NDS.

5-4 KN-304 Network Board

● Setup for Bindery Emulation

Make sure of the Bindery Context.

Before connecting the KN-304 print server to the Nov ell NetW are 4.x server of bindery mode, make sure that the NetWare server contains the bindery context.

If the bindery context does not exist, the network administrator should modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to add an adequate SET command and restart the NetWare server or enter a SET command from the console prompt to make changes.

Note that any command entered following the console prompt is effective immediately but the definition of the autoexec file becomes effective only after turning off power and on again.

Perform the following procedure to check if the contains the bindery context.

Chapter 5 NetWare Setup

Log-in to the file server by the name of ADMIN. Respond to the MS-DOS prompt with TYPE Z:\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF. When the file contents are displayed, see if a line exists that is something as follows.

SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0=<Name>

=0= denotes the file server context. Use the actual file server context. <Name> identifies the server context and can be found when PCONSOLE is activated as it is indicated at top left in the Available Items menu window.

If no name is defined, the KN-304 does not work. A name m ust be defined first of all. For this purpose, terminate PCONSOLE and add the following line in the AUTOEXEC file by using a text editor.

SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0=KONICA_CORP After adding the line, turn off power and restart the server. Now the modification is effective. Alternatively, the network administrator can enter a SET command from the console prompt

to make immediate modifications. At this time, all modifications are lost once the server is turned off and restarted.

Note that any command following the console prompt is effective immediately but the definition of the autoexec file becomes effective only after the system is restarted after turning off power.

KN-304 Network Board 5-5

Chapter 5 NetWare Setup

Setup with PCONSOLE in bindery mode

If it is sure that the bindery context exists in the file server, you set up the KN-304 with PCONSOLE.

Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of setup with PCONSOLE.

In Bindery mode, only upper-case letters are valid for the printer server password.

Chapter 6 Setup Utility MAP

■MAP (Management Access Program) overview

It is possible to change printer settings through access to the HTTP server, incorporating a Web utility, mounted on the KN-304 Network Board. The CD-R OM provided contains a utility named MAP. MAP allo ws to detect KN-304 Network Boards on the network and list them up by using a Web bro wser. You can select one out of the list of the KN-304s to change its settings and operate the Web utility from the Web browser.

● Requirements for installation

MAP is a utility operating on Windows 95/98/NT/2000. It detects KN-304s existing in the network and establishes connection with the HTTP server mounted on a KN-304. One of the following Web browsers is needed for interface as MAP does not have a means of interface.

• Netscape Navigator (version 4.x and up)

• Internet Explorer (version 4.x and up)

Therefore TCP/IP must be set up for both the KN-304 and Windows computer. The IPX protocol m ust also be set up to search KN-304s that use IPX.

● Installing MAP

Install MAP by the following procedure.

Set the CD-ROM provided in the CD-ROM drive and double-click [Setup.exe] in the [Map] folder.

The setup program starts. Confirm the information displayed and click the [Next] button. Confirm the folder in which MAP is to be installed. The default is C:\Prog ram Files\MAP. Clic k

■MAP setup

The MAP setup program installs two programs, MAP Setup and MAP. MAP Setup is the program used to set up the environment for MAP to detect KN-304. Execute MAP Setup first.

To start MAP Setup, select [Start] - [Programs] - [Map] - [MAP Setup]. Once MAP Setup starts, the following window appears.

In MAP setup, the protocol used by the KN-304 detected on startup of MAP, and the IP maximum hop count, should be designated. To detect the KN-304 that uses IPX, check the “Search IPX printer” box. To detect the KN-304 that uses IP, check the “Search IP printer” box.

To use IP as the network protocol, the Max Hops for IP Search should be designated. The default of Max Hops for IP Search (0-15) is 2. When the value is set at 0, search will be exercised only in the segment to which the computer that has activated MAP belongs. When the value is 2, the network will be searched everywhere accessible via up to two routers. Note that the greater the value of maximum hop count, the more traffics generated.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

■ Status Page

The Status page is sent as a print job to the printer when the KN-304 is powered on. For example, the report on the next page shows the configuration of the KN-304 immediately before the report is printed. Konica 7020 series printer also allows you to use a command from the LCD panel that will produce a status report.

it is strongly recommended that you revie w this report immediately after installation and any time the setup has been changed. If the report does not include a protocol that was configured, check that the procedure was done properly.

■Resetting the KN-304 Factory Default

You can cause the KN-304 to restore all parameters to factory default values, so the Print Server Card appears just as it came from the factory. You may choose to do this when the Print Server Card is moved to a new location where the environment (NetWare file servers, IP subnets, and so on) is different.

This process is called “Reset to Factory”. It can be done with MAP or a Web Browser . However, if network access is not possible, the following method may be used.

Note: Resetting to factory default means that the print server loses all data such as names and IP ad-

dresses. It does not lose its serial number or MAC address.

■How to Diagnose Problems

Use the following list to determine the cause of printing problems:

1. Verify that the printer is functioning properly.

• Is the printer printing? Make sure the printer is operating properly by causing it to generate a test page . See your printer’s owner’s manual for instr uctions on generating a test page.

• Is the printer on-line (green LED should light)*? Verify that the printer is on-line or else nothing will print. *Status at about 2 minutes after power-on.

• Does the LCD panel of Konica 7020 series display an error message? Review Konica 7020 series manual.

• Did you get a KN-304 status page? On power-up, the KN-304 sends a status page which may contain information that can be useful for troubleshooting. Keep the status page available until a problem is resolved.

2. Check the KN-304’s LED status indicator to ensure that there is no error condition. See LED Status Indicator, for more information.

3. Check the status report to see what protocols are enabled and active. See the appropriate chapter to confirm that you have installed and configured your network protocol correctly for the KN-304. See Status Page for an example of the status page.

4. Determine if other users can print. If they can’t and they are all on the same NOS, go to the troubleshooting section for that NOS.

5. When you have determined the nature of the problem, use the checklists in the next section.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

●Troubleshooting Network Hardware Connections

• For 100BaseT or 10BaseT, check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ connector on the KN-304.

• Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad cable.

●Troubleshooting NetWare Protocol

It is recommended you use MAP to get the NetW are setup and parameter v alues . If you have not resolved the problem after running MAP, go through the checklists in this section.

●NetWare Checklist

• Is the print server name entered correctly? The factor-default name is KON_serial number. The

serial number is located on the card.

• Did you assign print queues to the printer? It is recommended you assign each print queue to only

one Print Server Card-connected printer. If print queues are assigned to other network printers, the print jobs may be going to an other network printer.

• Did you assign the printer to the type Remote Other /Unknown?

• If the PCONSOLE settings are correct, the connection between the printer and network may have

been broken. Tur n the printer off and, using PCONSOLE, wait for the status message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and the status should change to Waiting for Job.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

●File Server Checklist

• Is there enough disk space on the file server and is it running?

• Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use PCONSOLE to check this.

• Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer? (supervisor or administrator)

• Are the File Server and the KN-304 communicating? Run NetWare ’s COMCHECK utility from any network workstation to check this.

• Are there enough user positions on the File Server? The Print Server function logs on as a user.

●Workstation Checklist

• Is the network loaded onto the workstation? See the NetWare documentation.

• Is the application set up to print to the printer? For instance, are you using the correct driver?

• Is the workstation connected to the correct print queue? Print a file and verify that the file goes to the queue.

• Are the print queues assigned to the KN-304-connected printer also assigned to another network printer? If they are, the print jobs may be going to that printer.

• From PCONSOLE, enter a sample print job directly into an assigned queue. Does the job become Active? Is job printed?

• Is A UT O ENDCAP enab led? Auto Endcap lets y ou send data to a network printer . Use PRINTCON to check. If not, enable it.

●Print Server Card Configuration Checklist

If all your hardware connections are correct, check the following:

• Use MAP to check the status of the print server. The Unit Status screen shows the status for the selected network interface card. This report includes a status of file servers and queues assigned to a printer along with a description of any problems.

• The printer may not be assigned to the correct print queues. Use PCONSOLE to direct print jobs to the correct queues, then check to see if the print job is in the queue.

• If devices were added or changed, use PCONSOLE to make sure you configured the new devices correctly.

• Make sure the KN-304’s name has been entered correctly . If you changed the name in MAP, you must

7-8 KN-304 Network Board

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

also change the name in PCONSOLE before you can print.

• Use PCONSOLE to check the Printer Status. Make sure it is not stopped or paused.

• You cannot use PCONSOLE V ersion 1.0 to configure the network interface card. Connect No vell f or an upgrade.

●Printer Server/File Server/Printer Checklist

Check the following to see if:

• The KN-304 Print Server can log into the file server, and can service jobs from a File Server.

• The KN-304 Print Server name is listed on that File Server.

• The passw ord assigned to the Print Server Card through PCONSOLE matches the password assigned through MAP. Use MAP to update the password stored in the network Print Server’s memory.

• The print job is in the print queue and waiting to be printed. Use PCONSOLE to check if the print jobs are being sent to the printer.

●Workstation to Print Server Card Connection Checklist

To make sure the workstation is communicating with the Print Server Card, check the following:

• Print a file from the workstation and make sure the print job gets to the print queue using PCONSOLE. If the print job does get to the queue, the problem is not with the workstation/print server connection.

• Use CAPTURE to send data to the printer from a workstation software application. See y our NetWare print server manual for information.

• Make sure another printer is not taking the print jobs from the queues BEFORE the Print Server Card can service the job. To do this, disable the other printer until you can verify the Print Server Cardconnected printer setup.

●KN-304 Loses Its File Server Connection

If the KN-304 loses its connection to the file server, it can tak e appro ximately 5 to 10 minutes to reconnect. If the connection is not made after a reasonable amount of time, check the error conditions to troubleshoot the problem.

●Unable to Print from a Different Context

The KN-304 does not support printing from a context different from the context you are installed upon. If you want to do this, you must create an alias queue. See your NetWare Manual for more information.

■ Information for the TCP/IP network administrator

● Use of DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service that provides IPaddress assignment and maintenance procedures. The KN-304 can get IPinformation from the service.

There are two user-definable variables related with the DHCP functions.You can set up those variables from [Setup TCP/IP] of [Network Administration]provided by the Web utility.

• Enable DHCP

• IP address in NOVRAM

a. If you select [Not enable DHCP], the KN-304 does not call for the DHCPservice. If no IP address is

defined for the KN-304 or “Enab le IP addressdefined” is OFF, the KN-304 attempts to get an IP address by BOOTP requestor some other means.

b. If DHCP can be used and no IP address is defined for the KN-304 or[IP address in NOVRAM] is OFF,

the KN-304 calls for the DHCP when resetor power has turned on.

c. If DHCP can be used but an IP address is defined for the KN-304 and[IP address in NOVRAM] is ON,

the KN-304 gets IP information from NVRAMand does not use DHCP service.

Both of the options [Enable DHCP] and [IP address in NOVRAM] are ON by default (employed at shipment time). In this case, if the IP identificationinformation stored in NVRAM is not available, the KN-304 generates a DHCPrequest.

When DHCP can be used and the default values are set for the KN-304, itis needed to set up (reserve) so that the KN-304’s IP address be usedcontinually on the DHCP server, because otherwise the same address might begiven to other hosts.

● Naming by WINS

Use of WINS for the KN-304

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) allows registering the current IP address and NetBIOS name to the KN-304. A client who wishes to communicate with the printer can use the WINS server to match the IP address and NetBIOS name. F or most users, it is easier to remember the printer’ s NetBIOS name than the IP address.

To use WINS for the KN-304, it is needed to enter the IP address of the WINS server b y “TCP/IP Setup” of the Web utility.

Setting for the WINS server

You set up the DHCP server to provide the KN-304 with WINS server inf ormation automatically. Otherwise you can enter the required information in “TCP/IP Setup” of the KN-304. See the instruction manual of the DHCP server for details of automatic setup for the DHCP server.

Perform the following steps in order that the WINS server should work for the KN-304.

Appendices-4 KN-304 Network Board

Appendices

Assign an IP address to the KN-304. You may use DHCP.

Initiate access to the desired KN-304 by using the Web utility.

Select “TCP/IP Setup” from the main menu.

The NetBIOS name for the KN-304 is shown on the screen. The NetBIOS name is the KN304’s serial number (for example, KON_993011).

You can enter a new name to change the current NetBIOS name. It should be a string of up to 15 1-byte characters.

If the DHCP server is set up so that the address of the primary WINS server be supplied to the KN-304, the address is shown in the TCP/IP Setup menu. If it is not shown, enter the IP

address of the primary WINS server. You can also enter the IP address of the secondary WINS server if you like. If the DHCP server is set up so that the address of the secondary WINS server be supplied to the KN-304, the address is automatically filled.

Restart the printer (KN-304).

The printer’s status page should now show that the KN-304’s name has been successfully registered in the WINS server.

● FTP printing

FTP printing by Netscape

Connect to the KN-304’s port through which print jobs are sent. For e xample , perf orm the following steps to print through the KN-304 by Netscape.

Type [ftp://port1@<KN-304’s IP address]. Select [File] from the menu bar. Select [Upload File].

More than one file cannot be selected for FTP printing.

KN-304 Network Board Appendices-5

Appendices

By Netscape and Drag & Drop

You can print out the contents of a file by Netscape and Drag & Drop.For example, perform the following steps to print out a file through theKN-304 by Netscape.

The selected file will be sent to the printer.

Type [ftp://port1@<KN-304’s IP address]. A message says [Current directory is ]. Drag the file existing on the system to the Web browser’s window. A prompt asks you “Do you want to upload the dragged file to the FTP server?” Click “OK”. The file you just dragged will be sent to the printer.

More than one file cannot be selected for FTP printing. Only one can log in the port.

Use of FTP client

Perform the following to print from FTP Client.

Type [ftp<KN-304’s IP address]. Enter “port1” as the log-in name. Select binary mode. Type [put<filename>]. The selected file will be sent to the printer.
