Introduction

This manual contains detaile d instructions on configuring your printer for using as a network printer. The actual procedures may differ depending on your network environment. Use the procedures for your network environment.

Introduction

Features

Note: The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network administrator. Be sure to consult your network administrator before doing any configuration.

Note: Refer to the manual that comes with the printer for information on physically installing the Network Interface Board and cabling.

Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T

•

The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWa re (IPX/SPX), Windows NT

•

(TCP/IP, NetBEUI), Windows 95/98 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI),and Macintosh (AppleTalk) protocols. This allows you to use the printer in a network that uses different protocols and operating systems.

A computer used as a dedicated print server is not required, because the Network

•

Interfac e Board can be configur ed as a NetWare print server.

The Network Interface Board can connect the printer to the network without requiring

•

its own power supply as the Network Interface Board is installed inside the printer.

Configuring Windows 95/98

You can use your printer as a network printer with Windows 95 and Windows 98 using the Multi Direct Pri nt application, and TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols. This c hapter explains how to configure your printer and Windows.

Configuring Windows 95/98

The Multi Direct Print Application supports the TCP/IP protocol and the NetBEUI protocol. Consult your network administrator before selecting the protocol.

Limitation

When you use the NetBEUI protocol, you cannot print to a printer which is located on the other side of a router .

Note: You can use both TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols in a computer. To use both protocols you must first install them.

Installing the NIC Setup Tool

This chapter describes how to confi gure your printer to use as a print server or a remote printer in a NetW are environment.

NetW ar e must be set to acti ve using the opera tion panel of your pr inter. For information on how to set it, refer to the Operator Guide for your printer.

A utility called the NIC Setup Tool is provided to configure your printer to work in a NetWare environment. Installing the PRINTER MANAGER FOR ADMINISTRATOR, and how to run the NIC Setup Tool on your computer. This se ction describes how to install the PRINTER MANAGER FOR ADMINISTRATOR, and how to run the NIC Setup T ool.

Limitations:

NetWare 3.x, 4.x or 5 must be functiona l to run the NIC Setup Tool.

Assigning IP Address with ARP+PING

Using TCP/IP, you can assign the IP address using ARP and PING. The following example is for a BSD UNIX workstation (SunOS 4.x).

ARP+PING should be set to active in the network boot configuration before assigning the IP address using ARP+PING. For how to set it to active, refer to the Operating Instructions for your printer.

Use the ar p command to assign the IP address to the MAC address of the Network Interface

Card.

# arp -s 192.168.15.16 00:00:74:62:5C:65

•

192.168.15.16 is the IP address, 00:00:74:62:5C:65 is the MAC address.

•

Assign the IP address using the PING command.

# ping 192.168.15.16

•

Use the PING com mand again, to confirm the address.

# ping 192.168.15.16

•

If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.

192.168.15.16 is alive

•

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.

no answer from 192.168.15.16

Remote Maintenance by Telnet (mshell)

You can view the printer status and configu re the Network Interface Card using telnet. You should specify a password so that only the network administrator, or a person having network administrator privi leges, can use remote maintenance (mshell).

Operation Flow

The following is a sample procedure in using Telnet.

Limitation Only one person at a time can be logged on to do remote maintenance.

Using the IP address or host name of the printer, start telnet.

% telnet IP_address

•

In order to use the host name instead of the I P address, you must wr ite it to the /e tc /hosts

•

file.

Enter the password.

The factory default is “password”.

•

Enter a command.

Finish telnet.

msh> logout

•

When the configuration is revised, a confirmation message requests whether or not the

changes should be saved.

Enter “yes” to save the changes, and press {Enter}.

If you do not want to save the changes, enter “no” and press {Enter}. If you want to

•

make additional changes, enter “return” at the command line, and press {Enter}. If the “Can not write NVRAM inf ormati on” message appears, the c hanges a re no t saved.

•

Repeat the steps above. The Network Interface Card is reset automatically when the settings are changed.

•

When the Network Interface Card is reset, the active print job which has already been

•

sent to the printe r, will finish printing. However, jobs that have not been sent yet will be

cancelled.

When Printing PostScript from Windows

When printing PostScript from Windows, refer to the Operating Instructions that comes with the optional PostScript 3, and configure using the Network Interface Card with your printer driver.

When Printing with Netware

Configuration of Form Feed

When using NetWare, it is not necessary to configure for form feed. However, should not want to perform form feed, configure accor ding to OS as follows.

In case of Windows 3.1x, remove a check of [Form feed] in [Network Settings] dialog.

Printing after Resetting the Printer

After resetting the remote printer, the printer will be cut off from the print server for about 30-40 seconds before connecting again. Due to NetWare specification, print jobs may be accepted, but they will not be printed dur ing this tim e. When using the printer as a r emote pr inter, wait about two minutes after resetting the pri nter before attempting to print.

The following points are important when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

Supported Systems

Windows NT Server 4.0 can be configured as a DHCP server.

Give the Printer a Static Address

Configure the DHCP server so the printer has a static address.

When multiple DHCP servers exist, turn an equal rese rvation into all DHCP server . A

•

Network Interface Card works by information from DHCP server replied to in the first

place.

Follow these steps to provide the prin ter with a static IP address.

Start the DHCP manager.

Select the scope that will be used, and on the [Scope] menu, click [Reservation].

Enter the IP address into [IP Addr ess ].

Enter the MAC address of the Network Interface Card into [Unique Identifier].

Do not use hyphens to separate the numbers.

•

If you don't know the MAC address, it can be f ound on the “configuration page” printed

•

by the printer.

Enter a name and comment into the [Client Name] and [Client Comment] boxes.

Click [Add].

An IP address is reserved.

When IP address is not assigned by the DHCP server, the Network Interface Card uses

network configuration page. Because 11.22.33.44 is a special IP address, you cannot print using this addre ss.
