Installing the IB-23 Interface Card in the Printer
This section guides you through installing the IB-23 network interface card. The IB-23 can easily be installed in the
printer.
! Note:
IB-23 installation is not necessary for many Kyocera Mita printer models that include a built-in IB-23 interface.
Installing the IB-23 in the Printer
WARNING: Be sure to turn off the printer before installation. Damage to both the printer and the IB-23 may result
if the following procedure is followed while the printer power is on.
The instructions below describe the installation of the IB-23 into a typical Kyocera Mita printer and are similar to all
Kyocera Mita printers and digital copiers that are incorporated with the standard KUIO (Kyocera Universal I/O) slide-in
interface.
1. Turn printer power off and unplug the AC power cable from the printer.
2. At the back of the printer, remove the cover by unscrewing the two screws. Retain this cover for future re-use.
3. Insert the IB-23 into the slot aligning both edges of the card with the guides in the slot. Push the IB-23 all the way
into the slot and secure it using the screws.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging the IB-23 owing to static electricity, discharge your body before touching the
interface card. Hold the IB-23 only by the metal connector plate.

IP Address Configuration
This section describes several methods for configuring the IP address information for the IB-23.
The method you use will depend on your particular network configuration as well as your personal preferences. For
example, if your network includes a DHCP server, then you will likely use DHCP for setting the IB-23 IP addresses.
Following are the possible methods for configuring the IP addresses:
Using DHCP
Using WINS
Using Quick Setup
Using RARP or BOOTP
Using ARP
Using the Printer's Operator Panel
A
fter following the procedures in this section to configure the IP address, it is recommended to verify the IP address
settings:
Verifying the IP Address Settings
Using DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including
IP address, subnet mask, etc. to devices on an IP network. DHCP alleviates the administrative burden of managing
individual IP addresses.
A
DHCP server processes IB-23 DHCP discovery broadcasts and returns an IP address to the IB-23. The DHCP server
may be set up to grant an IP address for a limited time (a temporary lease) or for an unlimited (an unlimited lease), or it
may be configured with a permanent address reservation for the IB-23.
! Note:
In a non-WINS environment (See
WINS Configuration,
below.), it is highly recommended to set up the DHCP
server to grant the IB-23 an unlimited lease or permanent address reservation.
Unlimited Lease or Address Reservation in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
In Windows NT 4.0 and 2000, lease duration is set for a particular scope, or group of addresses. Thus, lease duration
should be set to Unlimited for the scope to which the IB-23 belongs. If this is not desired, then the IB-23 should be defined
as a
Reserved Client
.
Use the following procedure in Windows DHCP Manager to add a reserved client.
1. Select the scope that the IB-23 will belong to, then select
Add Reservations
from the
Scope
menu. The
Add
Reserved Clients
window will open.

2. In
Figure 1
, enter the IB-23 MAC address (Do not enter the colons, e.g. '00:c0:ee:14:00:87.'), IP address, and
other information. The IB-23 MAC address may be obtained from the IB-23 Network Status Page.
3. Click
Add
.
4. Turn printer power on. The printer receives the IP address from the DHCP server. You can print the network status
page to confirm the IP address.
Verifying the Active Lease Status
You can verify active leases for a particular scope by opening the
Active Leases
windows:
From the
Scope
menu, select
Active Leases
. Reserved clients will display "Reservation" or "Reservation in use"
beside the client name.
Figure 2. Verifying Lease Status
Disabling DHCP
If IP address assignment with DHCP is not desired, it may be disabled using the IB-23 Quick Setup wizard, the printer
front panel, a web browser, or several other methods.
IMPORTANT:
Note, however, that DHCP IS AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED when the IP address is set using any other
method such as the Quick Setup wizard, printer front panel, etc.
IP Address Persistence
When the printer is turned off and back on will the IB-23 retain its IP address?
Using WINS
Temporary
If a temporary lease is obtained from a DHCP server, then the IP address is temporary.
That is, when the printer is turned off and back on, the IB-23 does not begin using its IP
address until it has negotiated with a DHCP server. Thus, if a DHCP server is not available,
the IB-23 will not have an IP address. This is necessary to prevent IP address conflicts in a
DHCP environment.
Permanent
If an unlimited lease or address reservation is obtained from a DHCP server, or if set by
any method other than DHCP, then the IP address is permanent. That is, when the printer
is turned off and back on, the IB-23 will begin using its assigned IP address.
2/9 ページIP Address Configuration
2006/05/26file://F:\USERMAN\EXPORT\Option\IB-23\P6以降用完了分\ｈｔｍｌ\English\tcpip_setting.h...
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) is used by Windows NT to provide a mechanism for mapping the NetBIOS
name, commonly referred to as 'host name,' to an IP address. WINS requires a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server2003 to be
configured as a WINS server.
WINS enables defining a printing configuration which references the printer by its name rather than by its IP address.
Thus, even if the printer IP address is changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will still be valid and printing will
continue uninterrupted. Another advantage of WINS is that a new IB-23 may seamlessly replace an old IB-23 simply by:
giving the new IB-23 the same host name as the old IB-23, or
modifying the Windows LPR port configuration for the old IB-23 with the host name of the new IB-23.
WINS Registration and Naming
The IB-23 must be given the address of the primary WINS server where it will register its host name. It may optionally be
given the address of a secondary WINS server. The DHCP server is often setup to provide the IB-23 with its host name
and the WINS server addresses. Refer to your DHCP server documentation for the proper setup procedures.
A
lternatively, the following web browser procedure may be used to configure the host name and WINS server addresses:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address bar, enter the IP address assigned to the IB-23.
3. After the web browser displays the IB-23 COMMAND CENTER, click the Advanced tab.
4. The webpage for basic TCP/IP settings is displayed.
5. By
DHCP
, click ON to activate address discovery and assignment using DHCP.
6. Enter the WINS server information. You can usually obtain this information from the network administrator.

Using RARP or BOOTP
You can resolve the IP address via RARP or BOOTP over the Ethernet connection. The host computer must support
either protocol as the boot server. The address information will be stored in a configuration file on the server as, for
example, ethers or bootptab file. The interface card issues each time the IB-23 is turned on RARP and BOOTP requests
and attempt to receive the configuration information returned by the server.
To prepare a configuration file for BOOTP
:
1. Properly connect the IB-23 to the network.
2. Create and store the configuration information in a
/etc/bootptab
file.
For example, to set '192.168.1.2' for IP address; the hardware address is '00:c0:ee:14:00:87,' enter as follows:
ht=ether:\ #Target hardware type
ha=00c0ee140087:\ #Target hardware address
ip=192.168.1.2:\
gw=192.168.1.1:\ #Default gateway address
sm=255.255.255.0:\ #Subnet mask
3. In
/etc/inetd.conf
, add:
bootps dgram, udp wait root /etc/bootpd bootpd
4. Reset inetd by:
kill -1 1
5. Turn IB-23 power off, then on.
6/9 ページIP Address Configuration
2006/05/26file://F:\USERMAN\EXPORT\Option\IB-23\P6以降用完了分\ｈｔｍｌ\English\tcpip_setting.h...
The IB-23 automatically issues BOOTP requests to the server and receives the BOOTP response to obtain the
configuration information.
To prepare a configuration file for RARP:
1. Properly connect the IB-23 to the network.
2. Create and store the configuration information in a
/etc/ethers
file.
For example, to set '192.168.1.2' for IP address; the hardware address is '00:c0:ee:14:00:87,' enter as follows:
00:c0:ee:14:00:87 192.168.1.2
3. Start RARPD on the workstation. Enter:
rarpd -a
4. Turn IB-23 power off, then on.
The IB-23 automatically issues RARP requests to the server and receives the response to obtain the configuration
information.
The RARP information the server returns contains only the IP address. To configure the subnet mask, gateway address,
and other information, you must use a web browser.
Using ARP
A
RP is available for resolving IP addresses both in Windows and UNIX networks. The IP information can be set by
registering it in the ARP table.
! Note:
Using this address resolution method requires the IB-23 IP address to be 0.0.0.0.
Using the 'arp' Command and 'ping' command
1. Properly connect the IB-23 to the network and turn the power on.
2. In UNIX, define the interface card in the ARP table by using ARP as the following example:
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:c0:ee:14:00:87 temp
In Windows, at the DOS prompt:
arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-c0-ee-14-00-87
This procedure only 'registers' the IP address in the ARP table and does not 'write' it in the IB-23. Perform
the following step.
3. Ping the IB-23 address by commanding at the DOS prompt:
ping 192.168.1.2
4. If the interface card successfully returns a reply, the setup is complete.

3. Press the > key.
4. Press the ^ (+) key until the printer displays:
5. Press the > key.
6. Press the ^ (+) key until the printer displays:
7. To enter the IP address, press
ENTER
. A cursor (_) begins to blink at the rightmost 3-digit segment. Use the ^ (+)
key to increase and the v (-) key to decrease the figure. When the rightmost segment is done, use the < key to
move the cursor to the next segment. Again, use the ^ (+) key to increase and the v (-) key to decrease the figure
for the segment. Repeat this procedure for all the segments. When all segments are done, press
ENTER
.
8. Press the ^ (+) key. The printer will display:
Using the same manner as 7. above, complete the gateway address. Press
ENTER
.
9. Press the ^ (+) key. The printer will display:
Using the same manner as 7. above, complete the subnet mask address. Press
ENTER
.
10. Press
MENU (MODE
). Turn the printer off and on. IP address configuration is complete.

Windows Printing: TCP/IP
This section explains how to install the IB-23 for the Windows 98/Me environment. This section covers the following
topics:
Which Print Method to Use?
Configuring the PC for TCP/IP
Creating a KPrint Port for TCP/IP Printing
Installing the Printer in Windows 98/Me
Microsoft Windows encompasses a wide range of client versions; from Windows 98 to Windows XP, and thus a wide
range of printing capabilities. The various versions of Windows in combination with the IB-23 offer the network printing
capabilities described below.
To prepare the IB-23 for TCP/IP communication, use Quick Setup, the bundled utility. Following the wizard offers an easy
way to configure the above network settings. For instructions on launching Quick Setup, refer to the section on Installing
the Software Utilities. You can also complete these settings by using a web browser to access the internal webpage of
the IB-23. For details, refer to the section on Using a Web Browser to Manage the IB
-23.
Which Print Method to Use?
The optimum Windows printing configuration for you depends upon your particular environment including user and
administrator experience and preferences.
Generally, NetWare print services will be utilized when a NetWare server is present.
In the absence of a NetWare server, LPR printing in combination with printer sharing is often utilized when TCP/IP
is already in use.
Select
Print by using Raw mode
when using a port other than 9100 in the logical printer mode you want use.
NetBEUI peer-to-peer printing is most often utilized when a centralized NetWare or Windows print server is not
present.
IPP is utilized when printing across the Internet or intranet is required.

Creating a KPrint Port for TCP/IP Printing
The KPrint Port is a printer port you create in Windows to print from the printer driver to the network card's IP address.
This is why we include KPrint, a dedicated utility for the IB-23. KPrint enables you to create the TCP/IP port.
Once installed, you can use the KPrint utility to create the port in Windows for any IB-23 present in the network. If you
have not already done so, install the KPrint utility following the procedure in Installing the Software Utilities
.
Using TCP/IP Port:
1. Run the
KPrint Add Port wizard
by selecting Windows
Start, All Programs
, and
Kyocera
, and clicking
KPrint
Add Port
.
2. Select the mode to use and click
Next
. Check with your network administrator regarding which mode you should
use.
3. In
IP address or host name
below, enter the IP address of the IB-23 to connect. If you click
Search
, the
IB-23
Search
window opens. This will search and list all available IB-23 in the network. Select the IB-23 you want to
connect the TCP/IP port.
If you click
Configure
, you can modify the scope of the search by specifying one or more specific network
segment addresses. In the
Search Configuration
window, enter the network segment followed by '255,' e.g.
'171.62.186.255.' This causes the search to be conducted only in the '171.62.186.0' segment.
