Print Server Installation Manual 1-1
Basic Terminology
1.1 Basic Terminology
In order to install your print server, you will need various data and
parameters. This information will be explained in this section.
1.1.1. Hardware Address
Structure of
Hardware Address
Where Can I Find
the Hardware
Address?
Spelling of
Hardware Address
A print server is addressable by means of its world-wide unique
hardware address. This address is commonly referred to as the
MAC or Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this
address in the hardware of the print server. The address consists of
12 hexadecimal numbers. The first six numbers represent the
manufacturer, while the last six numbers represent the individual
card.
The hardware address of your print server is on a label pasted onto
the actual card and can be read easily. On the print server, you will
find a hardware address of '00c0eb0001ff.' Here, '00c0eb'
identifies the manufacturer, while '0001ff' is the number of your
print server. If your print server has already been installed, you can
find the hardware address using either the print server homepage,
the KyoNetCon, SNMP, or the status page.
You must enter the hardware address during the installation of the
print server software. This entry varies depending on the operating
system in use:
Windows Hyphens 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff
UNIX Colons or periods 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff or
1-2 Print Server Installation Manual
Operating system Representation Example
00.c0.eb.00.01.ff
Basic Terminology
1.1.2. Print Server Name
Name Structure The print server name is made up of two letters 'SB' and the print
server number. The print server number consists of the last six
numbers of its hardware address.
Example: Hardware address: 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff
Print server name: SB0001FF
Where Do I Find the
Name?
Apple and Novell
Name
The print server name can also be found using either the print
server homepage, the KyoNetCon, SNMP, or the status page.
In Novell and Apple networks, the Novell or Apple name is used.
Upon delivery, the print server name corresponds to the Novell or
Apple name. The Novell or the Apple name may be changed using
the print server homepage, the KyoNetCon, SNMP or FTP
parameter transfer.
1.1.3. Logical Printer
What Are Logical
Printers?
Logical printers are so-called pre-installed print server filters. Print
data is interpreted according to the set logical printer. The print
server has eight available logical printers. Each logical printer has
a different function.
Which Logical
Printers Are
Available?
Print Server Installation Manual 1-3
The following pre-defined logical printers are available:
No. Preset function
1 Default settings
2 Changes Line Feed (LF) to Carriage Return with Line Feed (LF+CR)
Basic Terminology
No. Preset function
3 Prints the status page as PostScript
4 Prints a banner page in Novell networks or if the LPD protocol is used
5 Prints all data in hex dump mode. Hex dump mode is mainly used to search for
faulty or missing print data. The data is printed as a byte in hexadecimal form
instead of letters and numbers. Printer control commands are printed as
hexadecimal values and do not influence the printing result in any way.
6 Not assigned
7 Not assigned
8 Supports the RSO Spooler (BS2000)
Logical Printer
Configuration
You may change the function for every logical printer by changing
the corresponding configuration parameter. This parameter can be
changed using either the print server homepage, the KyoNetCon,
SNMP or FTP parameter transfer.
Addressing Logical
Printer
Windows 2000,
Windows NT, and
Depending on your system, logical printers may be addressed in
various ways.
In Windows 2000, Windows NT, and UNIX networks, the logical
printers are addressed with 'lp1' through 'lp8.'
UNIX
Windows 98 and 95 If the LPD protocol is not available, as is the case of Windows 98
networks, you may use the TCP/IP ports corresponding to the
logical printers instead. Refer to the "TCP/IP Ports" section on
page 1-15.
Novell In Novell networks, the logical printers are addressed with '#1'
through '#8.'
FTP In the case of an FTP print data transfer, the logical printers are
addressed with 'lp1' through 'lp8.'
Example: put <file name> lp1

Apple No logical printers are available in Apple networks.
Print Server Installation Manual 1-5
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
1.2 Basic TCP/IP Terminology
In Windows and UNIX networks, TCP/IP is used for
communication between the various participants. In order to
install your print server in TCP/IP-based networks, you must enter
certain data and parameters. This information is described in the
following section. If you are already familiar with TCP/IP, please
read the "Installation in Windows Networks" chapter on page 3-1
or the "Installation in UNIX Networks" chapter on page 4-1.
1.2.1. IP Address
What Is the IP
Address?
IP Address
Structure
The IP address is the unique address of each node in a network:
i.e., an IP address may occur only once on a local network. The
system administrator usually assigns the IP address. The address
must be saved in the print server to make sure that it can be
addressed within the network. In this user manual, IP address
'192.168.0.123' is consistently used as an example.
IP addresses always consist of four address groups. Each group is
separated from the next group by a period. Every IP address is
devided up into the network ID and the user ID. This division is
primarily determined by the network class.
1-6 Print Server Installation Manual
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
The following network classes can be distinguished:
Fig. 1-1: TCP/IP network classes
All IP addresses assigned in a logical network must belong to the
same class.
Example You have applied for a class C network ID and receive network ID
'192.168.0.' Due to the fact that user IDs '0' and '255' are reserved
for broadcast addresses, a valid IP address must lie somewhere
between '192.168.0.1' and '192.168.0.254', such as
'192.168.0.123.'
1.2.2. Methods of Saving the IP Address in the Print Server
If you use TCP/IP as the network protocol, the IP address must
first be saved in the print server, regardless of whether you are
using a Windows or UNIX network.
In this manual, the printer operating panel is always used for
saving the IP address. If your network uses boot protocols, they
should preferably be used to save the IP address. This guarantees a
network-wide, consistent IP address usage and eliminates a
potential source of errors.
Print Server Installation Manual 1-7
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
The following possibilities for saving the IP address are available:
DHCP
The BOOTP Boot Protocol
The RARP Boot Protocol
The 'arp' and 'ping' Commands
KyoNetCon
KYOCERA Printer Operating Panel
PRESCRIBE Commands for KYOCERA Printers
1.2.2.1. The BOOTP Boot Protocol
If your network uses the boot protocol BOOTP, the '/etc/bootptab'
file must be supplemented. This file is located on the host running
the BOOTP daemon. The '/etc/bootptab' file contains a permanent
copy of the allocation of the host name and the IP address to the
hardware address.
Requirements Make sure that:
! The 'BOOTP' parameter has been activated (see status page).
What Happens
When the Print
Server Is Turned
On?
What Happens
When Printing?
Once the print server has been turned on, it asks the BOOTP for
the IP address and the host name. The answer of the BOOTP host
server, which contains the IP address, is sent as a data packet and
saved in the print server.
During the installation of the print server, its host name is
displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing.
The computer finds the IP address of the print server by means of
1-8 Print Server Installation Manual
either the local 'etc/hosts' file or the DNS host. The print data can
then be sent to this IP address.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during
print server installation. If you have done this, you may then send
print data directly to the IP address.
1.2.2.2. The RARP Boot Protocol
If your network uses the RARP boot protocol, either the
'/etc/ethers' file or the '/etc/rarpd.cf' file must be supplemented.
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
The choice of which file to supplement depends on how the RARP
network service was implemented on your UNIX system. Please
read the section concerning 'rarpd' in your UNIX documentation if
necessary.
Both files are located on the host running the RARP daemon. The
files contain a permanent copy of the allocation of the host names
and the IP address to the hardware address.
Requirements Make sure that:
! The 'RARP' parameter has been activated (see status page).
What Happens
When the Print
Server Is Turned
On?
What Happens
When Printing?
Once the print server has been turned on, it asks the RARP for the
IP address and the host name. The answer of the RARP host
server, which contains the IP address, is sent as a data packet and
saved in the print server.
During the installation of the print server, its host name is
displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing.
The computer finds the IP address of the print server by means of
Print Server Installation Manual 1-9
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
either the local 'etc/hosts' file or the DNS host. The print data can
then be sent to this IP address.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during
the print server installation. If you have done this, you may then
send print data directly to the IP address.
1.2.2.3. The 'arp' and 'ping' Commands
Using the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save an IP address to
the print server in an easy, uncomplicated manner.
The 'arp' and 'ping' commands should be used for saving the IP
address only if your network does not use a specific IP address and
host name administration, such as DNS and WINS servers.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command sends a data packet with an IP address to the hardware
address of the print server. If the data packet has been successfully
sent and received, the print server permanently saves the IP
address.
The implementation of the 'ping' command depends on the system
used. Please read the relevant section in the documentation of your
operating system if necessary.
Requirements Make sure that:
! The 'ARP/PING' parameter has been activated (see status
page).
1-10 Print Server Installation Manual
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Edit the ARP table:
Syntax: arp -s <IP address> <hardware address>
Example: arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff
2. Assign a new IP address to the print server:
Syntax: ping <IP address>
Example: ping 192.168.0.123
Trouble Shooting The 'Addition failed' error occurs when you use the 'arp'
command. This error informs you that the ARP table is empty and
that the new entry cannot be added. This problem occurs with
certain operating systems such as all Microsoft Windows versions
with the exception of NT 4.0. The solution to the problem is to
ping a station in the network before using the 'arp' command for
the first time or use the KyoNetCon to enter the IP address.
1.2.2.4. KyoNetCon
Using the KyoNetCon the IP address can be easily assigned to the
print server.
Saving the IP address using the KyoNetCon in networks with
routers is only possible if the router can handle multicast queries
and the print servers are searched via multicast queries. For more
information read the "Searching for Print Servers" section on page
4-5 in the User Manual.
If the print server is connected to the printer and the printer is
turned on, the print server appears as 'New Print Server' with the
IP address 000.000.000.000 in the print server list. Via the shortcut
menu the desired IP address can be entered.
Print Server Installation Manual 1-11
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
For more information concerning the KyoNetCon read the
"InterCon-NetToolKyoNetConPRINTSERVER Administration
ToolNetLine - Administration ToolPRINTSERVER Administration Tool" chapter on page 4-1 in the User Manual.
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Start the KyoNetCon.
2. Right-click on the 'New Print Server' in the print server list.
3. Select 'Assign IP Address...' from the shortcut menu.
4. Enter the IP address in the 'IP address' box.
5. Click 'Finish.'
The IP address is saved in the print server.
1.2.2.5. KYOCERA Printer Operating Panel
With all KYOCERA printers, you can enter the IP address directly
into the printer operating panel and save it in the print server.
In addition to the IP address, you can also change other parameters
using the printer operating panel.
Please read the "Configuring Parameters Using the KYOCERA
Printer Operating Panel" section on page B-14 of the User Manual.
Operating panel settings will not be saved in the print server if a
password has been assigned.
1-12 Print Server Installation Manual
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
1.2.2.6. PRESCRIBE Commands for KYOCERA Printers
You can also use PRESCRIBE commands to save the IP address
in the print server.
In addition to the IP address, you can also change other parameters
using PRESCRIBE commands. Please read the "Configuring
Parameters Using PRESCRIBE Commands for KYOCERA
Printers" section on page B-18 of the User Manual.
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Create an ASCII file and assign it an arbitrary name.
2. Insert the following entry:
Syntax: !R!SIOP2,"IP:<IP address>";EXIT;
Example: !R!SIOP2,"IP:192.168.0.123";EXIT;
1.2.3. Host Name
What Is the Host
Name?
Transfer the file as a print file to the print server by means of the
parallel, serial, or KUIO interface.
PRESCRIBE commands cannot be used if a password has been
assigned to the print server.
The host name is an alias for an IP address. We recommend that
you always use a host name. If the IP address changes, only the
file containing the allocation of the host name to the IP address
must be changed. The host name used to address the print sever in
your local network may be chosen freely. The chosen name should
Print Server Installation Manual 1-13
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
have some sort of connection to the corresponding card, such as
SB0001FF, or to the printer.
Allocating the Host
Name
What Is the File
'hosts'?
The host name must be assigned to the IP address. This is carried
out either in the 'hosts' file or on the DNS or WINS server. In this
manual, only the allocation of the host name to the IP address
using the 'hosts' file is described. Please read the relevant section
in the documentation of your operating system if necessary.
The 'hosts' file is an internal system file in which the allocation of
the host names to the IP addresses is stored.
Syntax: <IP address> <host name>
Example: 192.168.0.123 SB0001FF
The 'hosts' file is located in the 'windows' directory in Windows
networks and in the 'etc' directory in UNIX networks. In other
operating systems, such as AS/400 for example, the name of the
allocation file may differ.
1.2.4. ARP Table
What Is the ARP
Tab le ?
1-14 Print Server Installation Manual
The ARP table is an internal system file in which the allocation of
IP addresses to hardware addresses is stored. This table is
administred by the ARP protocol, whereby the entries expire after
approximately 15 minutes and can therefore be forgotten. You can
display and edit the ARP table using the 'arp' command.
The ARP table is needed for saving the IP addresses in a print
server if no boot protocol is used (see "The 'arp' and 'ping'
Commands" section on page 1-10).
1.2.5. TCP/IP Ports
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
What Are TCP/IP
Ports?
LPD Protocol and
TCP/IP Ports
TCP/IP Ports
Without LPD
Protocol
During the transfer of files between two computers, addressing
with the IP address alone generally does not suffice. In addition to
the IP address, the port number (TCP/IP port)is used. This number
defines a specific computer memory area reserved for a specific
communications connection. The combination of an IP address
and a port number is unique for every communications connection
and is defined as a socket.
If the LPD protocol is used for transferring print data, the
corresponding data packet automatically contains the port number
'515' and does not need to be specifically configured. The
transferred print data is saved to the memory area corresponding to
this TCP/IP port and then processed.
If the LPD protocol is not available, as in the case of Windows 95
networks, you must then configure the TCP/IP port yourself. In
order to do this, you must install a printer port and enter the port
number. In this case, such a port may also be called a direct printer
port.
TCP/IP Ports and
Logical Printers
Print Server Installation Manual 1-15
The TCP/IP ports correspond to the logical printers (see also the
"Logical Printer" section on page 1-3). The following TCP/IP
ports are preset in your print server:
Port number Preset function Logical printer
9100 Default setting 1
9101 Changes Line Feed (LF) to Carriage Return with
Line Feed (CR+LF)
9102 Prints the status page as PostScript 3

Using a gateway, you can address IP addresses from external
networks. Your print server is configured not to use gateways by
default. If your network does not use gateways, you do not need to
take any further steps. If, however, you are using a gateway in
your network, you should ask your system administrator for the IP
address of the gateway. You can change this parameter using either
the print server homepage, the KyoNetCon, SNMP or FTP
parameter transfer.
1.2.7. Subnet Mask
What Is the Subnet
Mask?
1-16 Print Server Installation Manual
With the help of the subnet mask, large networks can be split up
into subnetworks. In this case, the user IDs of the IP addresses are
assigned to the various subnetworks.
Basic TCP/IP Terminology
Example If no subnetwork is used, the subnet mask of a class C network is
set to '255.255.255.0'. If two subnetworks are used, the subnet
mask may be set to '255.255.255.128,' for example. Valid IP
addresses in this example are '192.168.0.1' to '192.168.0.127' in
the first subnetwork and '192.168.0.129' to '192.168.0.254' in the
second subnetwork.
Subnet Mask
Configuration
Your print server is configured not to use subnetworks by default.
If your network is not split into subnetworks, you do not need to
take any further steps. If, however, you are using a subnetwork,
you should ask your system administrator for the subnet mask.
You can configure this parameter using either the print server
homepage, the KyoNetCon, SNMP or FTP parameter transfer.

DHCP
1.3 DHCP
The print server completely supports DHCP, according to RFC
1542, so that a simple and fast administration via DHCP is
provided.
Network Structure
Using DHCP
The dynamic administration of IP addresses via DHCP requires a
system that administers the allocation of IP addresses to host
names. This administration is taken over by DNS servers, which
can be dynamically configured by the DHCP server. Most systems
additionally use a WINS server, which answers name enquires that
the DNS server cannot handle. This constellation, which is
common for Windows NT 4.0 networks, is described below.
Requirements Make sure that:
! The parameter 'DHCP' has been activated (see print server
homepage).
! The parameter 'WINS registration' has been activated.
! The parameter 'WINS via DHCP' has been activated.
What Happens
When the Print
Server Is Turned
On?
After the print server has been turned on in a Windows NT 4.0
network, it sends a query to the DHCP server asking for the IP
address, the host name, and the IP address of the WINS server.
The answer from the DHCP server is sent as a data packet and
saved in the print server. The print server now transmits a name
registration request to the WINS server, along with the IP address
and host name allocation. The answer from the WINS server
contains the period of validity of the name entry in the WINS
database. Once this period has expired, the print server renews its
registration with the WINS server so that its IP address and host
name remain constantly valid.
1-18 Print Server Installation Manual
DHCP
What Happens
When Printing?
WINS Without
DHCP
During the installation of the print server, its host name is
displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing. In
order for you to be able to assign the host name to the IP address,
the computer asks the DNS server for the IP address of the print
server. If the DNS server cannot answer this request, it forwards
the request to the WINS server. Once the computer receives the
answer, it sends the print data to the IP address of the print server.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during
the print server installation. If you have done this, you may then
send print data directly to the IP address.
If you wish to configure your print server on a DHCP server,
please read the documentation for your operating system if
necessary.
You can also set up the print server in a network only with WINS
and without DHCP. In this case, the print server registers with the
WINS server directly. In this process, you must configure the IP
address of the WINS server manually in the print server. You must
first disable the 'DHCP' and 'WINS via DHCP' parameters. You
can configure these parameters using the print server homepage,
the KyoNetCon, SNMP or FTP parameter transfer.

SNMP
1.4 SNMP
The SNMP protocol is used for providing and transferring
management information within the network. The SNMP
architecture is based on one or more management stations and
several network elements with one or more implemented network
management agents. The SNMP protocol is used for
communication between the management stations and the agents.
The management information is stored in so-called management
information base (MIB).
Private MIB of Print
Server
As an agent, the print server provides the standard MIB-II and a
private MIB. All print server parameters and status information
are stored in the private MIB. Read the "Parameter Description"
section on page B-3 of the User Manual. The private MIB is stored
in the print server on delivery and can be installed immediately.
On the CD-ROM KYOCERA Printer Library, you will find a
formal description of the private MIB objects.
Function The system administrator can query and configure the print server
parameters from a management tool, such as OpenView or
TransView, via the SNMP protocol. In case of an error, such as
'Paper empty', the print server automatically sends an error
message, the co-called trap, to pre-defined IP or IPX addresses. To
this end, the IP and IPX addresses must be configured and the
traps must be activated using the print server homepage, the
KyoNetCon or FTP parameter transfer.
Requirements When using SNMP, make sure that:
! The TCP/IP protocol or the IPX protocol is installed on any
computer from which you want to print.
! The print server is connected, and the printer is turned on.
! The IP address is saved in the print server.

What Happens
When Printing in
Novell Networks?
Which Protocols are
Used?
The printing sequence in Novell networks has three steps:
• Print data rerouting
• Intermediate print data storage in a print queue
• Printout
Print data that is transferred from an application to a printer
interface, such as LPT1, is redirected to the NetWare file server.
The incoming print job is added to a print queue on the file server.
The print job is then routed either to a print server connected to the
printer or to a remote printer, where it is then printed out.
The IPX protocol is used as a network protocol in all Novell
networks. The IPX protocol must be installed on every
workstation which is to provide printing services. If remote
printing is selected as well, the SPX protocol is then used as the
network protocol between the file server and the
KYOCERA-PrintServer.
Print Server,
Network Printer or
Remote Printer?
Your print server can be installed in Novell networks in various
modes. Print server mode is available in all Novell NetWare
networks. In Novell NetWare 3 networks, the print server can also
be used as a Remote Printer (RPRINTER); in Novell NetWare 5/4
networks, it can be installed as a network printer (NPRINTER). In
Novell NetWare 5 networks, print data can be sent via the NDPS
gateways as well. Each mode has certain advantages and
disadvantages that will be described below.
Print Server Mode In print server mode, the KYOCERA-PrintServer carries out an
automatic recognition of the network structure. After activation,
the KYOCERA-PrintServer transfers broadcast data packets
