Introduction

CrownNet is a combination of a network interface and host software that together allow your Crown printer to be connected to either an Ethernet or a Token-Ring network:

CrownNet Ethernet interfaces are either built into the print system–as on the 2425,

2060, and 4060 Print Systems–or available as an optional network interface card (NIC).

CrownNet Token-Ring interfaces a re avail able onl y as an o ptional network interf ace

card (NIC).

The CrownNet interface supports the following:

Operating System/Protocol Ethernet Net-

works

AppleTalk (EtherTalk)

LAN Manager/LAN Server (NetBIOS/NetBEUI)

NetWare (IPX/SPX)

TCP/IP

Token-Ring Networks

Configuring Network Interface Characteristics

This section describes in detail the configuration options available in the Administration/ Communications/xxxxxxxx NIC menu (where xxxxxxxx is either R esident or Optional):

Mode—Allows you to control how pr int jobs accepted over the CrownNet interface

are spooled and sent to the printer. Emulation—Allows you to choose the emulation used for your print jobs.

Min[imum] K[ilobyte] Spool—Allows you to define the size of the job spooling

buffer allocated to the CrownNet interface. Def[ault] Job Prio[rit y]—Allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, accord-

ing to the interface through which they are received, when jobs are received simultaneously.

PS Protocol—Allows you to set the binary communications protocol (BCP) for com-

municating over a parallel interface to a PostScript printer.

Enabling the CrownNet Interface

The Mode menu allows you to enable or disable network communication over the CrownNet interface. This ability is useful if you’re not planning to use the interface. By disabling it, the memory used by the interface spooler can be allocated to other memory clients.

CCITT—CCITT Groups 3 and 4 emulation. ESP—Emulation Sensing Processor technology. Using a

form of artificial intelligence, ESP technology analyzes incoming file data from the interface and determines which emulation, from those installed on the printer, to use to print the job.

Hexdump—He xdum p . This em ulati on prints t he he xade cimal

values of all non-protocol bytes (those that are part of the original file) received over the interface.

HPGL—HP-GL emulation. Lineprinter—Line printer output. LN03+—DEC LN03 Plus emulation. PCL4—HP PCL 4 emulation. PCL5—HP PCL 5 emulation. PostScript—PostScript Level 1 and Level 2 emulations. QUIC II— QUIC II language.

Printer-dependent; however, the typical default is ESP.

Changes take effect on the next print job.

Choices in this menu are printer-dependent. Those listed above are only typical choices. Emulation can appear under the Common menu on some printers.

Setting the Spool Buffer Size

Use the Min K Spool menu to defi ne the size of the job spooling buffer allocated to the interface. Min K Spool is the minimum number of kilobytes of the spool buffer (both RAM and optional disk) allocated to data received via the interface.

A zero for spool space does not turn an interface off. If an interface is not to be used, disable it [Administration/Communications/ (where assigned to it will be assigned to the other protocols. The sum of Min K Spool settings for all of the installed communications interfaces must be less than or equal to the setting in the Administration/Communications/K Mem for Spool menu. If Min K Spool is set to zero, the system automatically calculates a new value for it (½ of that available in K Mem for Spool) each time the printer is turned on. If the sum of the Min K Spool settings for all installed interfaces is less than the setting of K Mem for Spool, the remaining space is considered float memory, memory that can be allocated as necessary. When an interface has used its default allotment, it may use any available float memory to spool additional data. The float memory is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. No interface is guaranteed access to any spool buffer beyond its Min K Spool value. Min K Spool can appear under the Common menu on some printers.

On—Print jobs are a ccept ed, s pooled to m emory, and sent to

the printer controller for printing as soon as it will accept them. Therefore, several print jobs may be considered active at one time.

On Idle—Print jobs are spooled to memory when the printer

is idle (all pages of the previous print job have been printed). Therefore, only a single print job is active at one time.

On Input Idle—Print jobs are accepted and spooled to

memory when all pages from the previous job have been input. This means that the printer controller has finished compiling the previous print job, but not all of the pages have necessarily been printed.

Choices All—Send as an all-routes-explorer frame, also known as an

all-routes-broadcast frame. This setting is useful if your network doesn’t have a

spanning tree, where frames can be exchanged using single-route-broadca st fr ames , o r if la rge amounts of data are being transmitted and the spanning tree offers a nonsatisfactory route. This setting creates a higher network load than either Auto or Single in the route determination phase, but it is more likely to result in the best choice of route.

Auto—Send as the most appropriate frame type, based on

the entries in the SAP route-guess table. (See “SAP Route-Guess Table,” later in this section, for more information.)

This setting is useful for most environments. However, under certain circumstances (s uch as an e x tremely h eav y network load, network source routing policies, or an obscure mixture of servers using different source routing types at the same SAP) you may need to switch to one of the other settings.

Off—Send without source routing information.

This setting is useful in strictly “transparent bridge” environment s or with old equipment that doesn’t support source routing. Received frames with route information are still answered along that specific route, but when the source routing table entry times out, the route cannot be rediscovered from the CrownNet interface.

Single—Send as a spannin g-tree-e xplorer fr ame, also k nown

as a single-route-broadcast frame. This setting is useful in environments where there are no

“transparent bridges” an d where a spanning tree protocol is successfully used by the Token-Ring bridges.

Notes

The source routing table maintains 16 entries. After 20 seconds these entries default to the setting in this menu. This cannot be configured from CrownAdmin 3 unless you use remote console.

Storing Source Routing Information

The SAP (Service Access Point) route-guess table st ores source routing information. It is updated using the routing information kept in one of the following:

The frame last received by that SAP

The frame last sent to a specific address and that SAP, when using a specific route

found in the source routing table.

If the frame last sent or received included routing information, the guess entry is updated to try a single-rout e-bro adc ast nex t time. In any ca se, the cur rent b roadca st gues s en try fo r an SAP is considered successful and up to date when a frame is received specifically addressed to the CrownNet interface on that SAP or a frame is sent to a specific address and that SAP.

When an entry in the SAP table is not updated, it times out after any of the following events:

Five seconds have passed since the last transmission of a frame using a

route-type-guess for the source route of that SAP. Three frames have been sent using a route-type-guess, after a previous

route-type-guess ti med out from any of the listed events. Ten frames have been sent using a route-type-guess after that route-type-guess was

considered successful by receiving a frame addressed specifically to the CrownNet interface or by transmitting a frame along a route found in the source routing table.

When a route-type-guess entry times out, it is updated with a new guess taken in the following cycling order: no route, single route, all routes.

Choices Conventional—Allows the Macintosh to print directly to the

printer rather than to a print spooler. In other words, a single user can send only a single job at a time since the printer ties up the Macintosh until the job has been printed. If two users send print jobs to the printer, the Macintosh belonging to the first user is tied up until the first job has been printed, and the Macint osh bel ongin g to the second user is tied up until both jobs have been printed. A single printer name i s d is played in the Chooser (see “Notes,” below).

Spooling—Allows the Macintosh to send a print job to the

printer even if it’s busy printing another job. In other words, the print job is spooled on the printer, and the Macintosh is free to continue working while the job is being printed. A single printer name is displayed in the Chooser (see “Notes,” below). Up to 4 print jobs can be spooling at the same time.

Notes

Conventional—When Conventional is selected, if more than

one printer has the same name , -1 is adde d to the seco nd printer, -2 to the third printer, and so on (for example, 2425 and 2425-1).

If you’re using MultiFinder and have background printing turned on, the PrintMonitor pro g ram spools each print job on the start-up disk (Spool folder in the System Folder) before sending it to the printer. Because of this, your Macintosh is not tied up while the job is printing. See the Macintosh System Software User's Guide for complet e information. A single printer name is displayed in the Chooser.

Spooling—When Spooling is selected, the printer name is

display ed in the Ch ooser as xxxx the printer’s model number. If more than one printer has the same name, -1 is added to the second printer, -2 to the third printer, and so on (for ex am pl e , 242 5-SPO O LER and 2425-1-SPOOLER).

If you’re using MultiFinder , mak e s ure bac kgr ound printing is turned off when using the Spooling option. Otherwise, the print job will be spooled twice, onc e on the Macintosh start-up disk and once on the printer, before it is printed.

About the CrownNet Security Feature

Through the implementation of a print server password, the CrownNet print server prevents unauthorized access to private print queues.

(where xxxxxxxx is

The first time the CrownNet print server attaches to a file server, the CrownNet interface automatically creates a hidden password for the CrownNet print server and stores it in encrypted form on the fi le server. Each subsequent time the CrownNet print server attaches to the file server, the hidden, encrypted password is used.

Because it is based on the unique, network address of the CrownNet interface, this password prevents unautho ri zed pri nters from accessing private print queues by using the name of a print server authorized to access those queues. Only one CrownNet interface will generate the correct password associated with a specific print server name.

Configuring the NetWare Protocol 27

Page 44

Reassigning a Password

Once a CrownNet print server name has been a ssigned to a printer, if the print server name is reassigned to a diff erent printe r , the print server password must be reset to al low the new printer to connect to the file server.

Use the following procedure to reassign a pass word.

This procedure must be repeated on each file server that has been serviced by the CrownNet print server.

Open PConsole.

From the Available Options list select Print Server Information.

From the Print Servers list select the print server.

From the Print Server Information list select Password.

Make sure the cursor is in the leftmost position and press Enter to set the new password.

Make sure the cursor remains in the leftmost position and press Enter again to verify the new password.

Exit from PConsole.

Print server names may be up to 47 characters long in NetWare versions 3.x. In Net-

ware versi on 4.x name and context may be as long as 256 characters. Only 47 char acters can be entered t hro ugh the p rinte r conf igurat ion menu. If you wish t o ente r name s greater than 47 characters you must use host based configurations such as CrownAdmin 3. For NetWare versions 3.x, if the print s erver n ame ha s mor e than 16 chara cter s, enter the first 16 characters in the PServer Name[1] menu and then up to 16 additional characters in the PServer Name[2] menu. If a file server name has more than 32 characters, enter up to 15 additional characters in the PServer Name[3] menu.

Only uppercase characters are allowed.

Spaces are not allowed in print server names. Th e first space found ends the name

even if you enter other characters to the right of the space. These subsequent characters are clea red to spaces .

You can use an underscore charact er ( _ ) to create a name consisting of more than one

word. For example, to identify a prin t server name d MARKETING_SERVER, you would display

Notes

(cont.)

A data stream sent through the CrownNet interface using QBinary or QBinary Fixed is treated the same as a data stream sent through the serial or parallel interface using Binary or Binary Fixed, respectively. In other words, QBinary and QBinary Fixed let you take a file quoted for Binary or Binary Fixed over the serial or parallel interface and send it to the printer over the CrownNet interface. A data stream sent through the CrownNet interface using QBinary or QBinary Fixed is not treated the same as a data stream sent through the same interface using Binary or Binary Fixed. QBinary and QBinary Fixed are used to send quoted BCP files over the CrownNet interface while Binary and Binary Fixed are used to send raw files over the CrownNet interface.

If Binary is enabled for the CrownNet interface, you must use the jobs since the PostScript ^D separator is a feature of only the Normal and QBinary modes. The is not needed, however, if a binary job, consisting of only a single PostScript file, is sent over the CrownNet interface. If multiple files of different languages are concatenated into one image over CrownNet or sent independently over parallel/serial, only the PostScript files are affected by quoting/BCP. Do not quote CCITT images, for example.

A data byte is quote d by repla cing it wi th a two-c haracter sequence. The fir st chara cter is a ^A (ASCII hex 0x01), and the second character is the character itself XORed with the ASCII value 0x40. For example, to send the value 0x14(^T) as data, send the two-character sequence 0x01 0x54 (^a T) instead. (ASCII “T” is the result of XORing ^T with 0x40).

This method of quoting guarantees that whenever the printer receives any of the eight control characters, the control function is intended regardless of whether the preceding character is a ^A. Any data byte not equal to one of the eight special control characters is transmitted by sending the data byte.

For more information on BCP and quoting, see the PostScript Language Reference Manual (Adobe Systems, Inc., Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1990, ISBN 0-201-18127-4), the “Adobe Serial a nd Parall el Communic ations Pro tocols Spe cificatio n” (in Adobe Developer Support. Adobe Systems, Inc., February 14, 1992), and the “PostScript Language Reference Manual” (in Supplement for Version 2011, Adobe Systems, Inc., January 24, 1992).

Advantages

The main advantage of using the Binary, Fixed Binary, QBinary, and QBinary Fixed PS protocol modes when sending binary data is that these modes allow compressed data streams. Since compress ed documents are small er than u ncompressed documents, yo u can send smaller jobs to the printer. For example, some device drivers can format bitmapped images as binary data instead of as ASCII hex-encoded data, which is twice as large.

Setting the Binary Communications Protocol 59

Page 76

Implementation

To implement PS protocol for sending binary data on your system you need a special device driver available with some applications or operating systems, or you can alternatively use a program to read the data and write out the quoted characters. See your MINOLTA-QMS vendor for any available information on device drivers or binary filter programs.

Setting the Binary Communications Protocol60

Setting the Default Job Priority

Job priority is n ot ava ilable on s ome printe rs. However, if it is available on your pri nter, the Def Job Prio menu appears in all interface menus. Check your printer documentation for availability.

The Def Job Prio menu allows you to specify which jobs are printed first, according to the interface throu gh which they are recei ved, when job s are rece ived simult aneous ly. In other words, you can give jobs received via the CrownNet interface priority over jobs received via the parallel and serial interfaces.

Introduction

After presenting an overview of CrownAdmin 3 for Windows, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and SunOS, this chapter explains how to open and close CrownAdmin 3 and how to access the online user’s guide.

About CrownAdmin 3

CrownAdmin is a softwar e utility that a llows you to monitor and conf igure Cr own printers and perform network opera tions on print ers connecte d to Ethernet o r T oken -Ring. Some of the things you can do through CrownAdmin 3 include the following:

Introduction2

Page 85

Configure network protocols on the printer interface daughterboard.

Configure printer parameters

Define groups of printers with common characteristics so you can easily make global

configuration changes. Use SNMP (where available) for retrieving and setting up printer information.

Download printer system software, fonts, forms, etc.

Control PostScript files through the PS Utilities dialog box.

Format and print files.

Check printer status.

Configure settings on the printer.

Use Remote Console.

Create and edit group-configuration templates.

For more information, see the CrownAdmin 3 online help. Instructions for accessing the user’s guide can be found later in this chapter.

OS/2

Use one of the following procedures to open CrownAdmin 3 for OS/2:

Double-click on the CrownAdmin 3 icon.

Select the CrownAdmin 3 icon, and then from the File menu choose Open.

Macintosh

Open CrownAdmin 3 for Macintosh OS as you would any Macintosh application:

Double-click on the CrownNet icon, or

Select the CrownNet icon, and then from the File menu choose Open.

All of the utilities are located in CrownAdmin 3’s Network menu.

Setting the EtherTalk Zone

CrownNet supports the Phase 2 EtherTalk protocol, which allows multiple logical zones on a single network. Although each network device may be assigned to only one of these zones, it can servic e dif ferent zon es. A zone is a subgroup of us ers within a lar ger group of interconnected networks. Because you can have up to 64K nodes on an EtherTalk network, it’s common to divide larger networks into zones to reduce traffic.

Use the following procedure to attach a printer to and detach a printer from a specific zone. If necessary, choose the Help button to see on-line help.

From the Network menu, choose Set EtherTalk Zone...

CrownNet scans the network for available printers and zone names, and then displays the informatio n in a di alog bo x. The sho rtcut for t his comman d i s Command

In the Printers box, select the appropriate printer by clicking on its name.

The Printers box lists all available printers. Each printer name is followed by an @character and the name of the zone to which it is attached.

Opening CrownAdmin 34

Page 87

If the appropriate printer doesn’t display in the Pri nt ers box, click the Scan... button to rescan the network for available printers.

In the EtherTalk Zones box, select the appropriate zone name.

The EtherTalk Zones box shows the list of available EtherTalk zones in the network.

If the appropriate zone doesn’t display in the EtherTalk Zones box, click the Scan... button to rescan the network for available zones.

If necessary, type a password in the Password box.

The system administrator sets this password on the printer.

Choose the Set button to set the zone n ame (that is, attach the selected printer to the selected zone).

The zone name takes effect immediately, and the new printer@zone name is displayed in the Printers box.

Click the Scan... button to rescan the network for available printers.

The printer must reset itself after the zone is changed, so rescanning is necessary to display the reset printer in the Printers box.

Choose the Done button to return to the CrownNet window.

Using Filters

Since CrownNet supports Phase 2 Ethernet, which allows multiple logical zones on a single network, an d because y ou have up t o 64K nodes o n an Eth erTalk network, it may be difficult to find a particular printer. The Filters option helps you locate a printer on the network.

From the Options menu choose Pr eferences...

In the Filter Specification box, type the name of th e printer.

The maximum length of the name is 32 characters.

The = wildcard character matches all possible characters (for example, = alone specifies

all printers in the selected zone[s], and m= selects all printers starting with “m.” The ≈ wildcard character matches any or no characters . For examp l e, m≈g selects printers

named “mg,” “meg,” “mktg,” “marketing,” and so on.

By default, zones as well as printers are scanned. If you do not want zones scanned, deselect Rescan Zones.

Click OK to return to the CrownAdmin 3 desktop.

Naming the Printer

Your printer’s default name on a network is the model, such as the 2425 Print System. However, each printer on an EtherTalk network must have a unique name. CrownNet provides a utility to set the printer name if more than one printer of the sam e model is on the networ k.

Use the following procedure to set the printer’s name. If necessa ry, choose the Help button to see on-line help.

From the Network menu choose Set Printer Name.

The shortcut for this procedure is Command-N.

In the box at the top of the dialog box, select the printer you want to re name.

If the appropriate printer doesn’t display in the box, c lick the Scan... but ton to rescan the network for available printers.

Type a new name for the printer in the New Name box.

Printing Directly to the Printer

It’s possible to bypass the server and send print jobs from your workstation directly to the printer. This procedure cuts down on network traffic beca use the jobs are spooled on your workstation rather than on the server.

The following information will help you print directly to the printer.

Make sure OS/2 and workstation software are installed on the workstation.

Install CrownNet Manager for OS/2 on your workstation, using the server inst al la ti on

procedure in the CrownNet Setup Guide. Make sure you use the MINOLTA-QMS printer driver rather than the IBMNU LL

printer driver.
