Introduction

Overview of the Utilities, the Network Adapter and MarkVision

Thank you for buying this multi-protocol Network Adapter. As with most new purchases, you probably have a few questions. W e will answer some of them in this introduction for you.

What environments do the utilities run in?

Since each environment is different, please see the appropriate chapter in this manual for more details about versions or levels of operating systems that w ork with these utilities. The utilities work with the following environments:

•

Novell NetWare networks (Windows 95 or Windows 3.1)

•

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks Windows 95 operating systems

•

Windows NT operating systems

•

Overview of the Utilities, the Network Adapter and MarkVision

What levels of software and ﬁrmware do I need?

You’ve received, in this package, the latest level of the utilities that were available when the printer was built.

There is ﬁrmware that resides on the adapter itself. This ﬁrmware handles communications between the printer, the utility, the adapter, and the network. The ﬁrmware is, therefore, the backbone of this product. The ﬁrmware resides on the adapter’s ﬂash memory, a type of Read-Only Memory that can be erased electronically and reprogrammed.

(To check an effective ﬁrmware level, contact your point of purchase.) To ﬁnd out which ﬁrmware revision level uses your adapter, print a setup page.

For help, see “Step 2: print a setup page” on page 2-3.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 1-1

Introduction

What is MarkVision?

MarkVision is a utility that allows administrators and users to control and see the status of printers on their networks. In addition, it allows network administrators to:

automatically conﬁgure print drivers. The new bidirectional, network-aware

•

PCL and PostScript Windows drivers can conﬁgure themselves with many printers. This allows users to make sure that their application driver settings are correct.

•

install MarkVision and print drivers from the network. You can copy the MarkVision setup utility and MarkVision to a network drive and directory. Then users on the network can install print drivers and MarkVision from the network.

You can use MarkVision without slowing down printing because MarkVision controls the printer directly and not within the queuing and spooling mechanism of the network.

Does the adapter work with Windows 95?

Yes. See the Windows 95 chapter in this manual for more information.

Which protocols support which environments?

Protocols are provided to reside in the adapter’s ﬁrmware. The adapter uses these protocols to receive print jobs of f the network. The adapters support these protocols:

•

NetWare, used to support Novell NetWare networks. TCP/IP, used for TCP/IP networks in many UNIX environments.

•

Is it possible to turn unused protocols off?

Yes. The Network Adapter is shipped with all protocols active. Using the Network Printer Utility for Windows 3.1 or MarkVision for Windows 95, you can turn off protocols that you don’t need.

Each protocol consumes some resource on the adapter and network. If you turn a protocol off, that resource is released. Therefore, to increase throughput on the adapter, we recommend that you turn unused protocols off. For example, if you are not using the TCP/IP protocol you may choose to turn it off. This reduces network trafﬁc.

Introduction

Is it possible to set a password for this adapter?

Passwords on the Network Adapter work as follows:

The password protects all the adapter’s settings from being changed (for

•

example, nicknames, queue names, ﬁle servers). The passwords protect the adapter from someone inadvertently or mistakenly

•

changing a setting. The password encryption algorithm is not designed to protect against serious hackers.

One adapter is assigned one password. That password works across all

•

protocols. Therefore, if you set a password in the NetWare protocol, that same password works for TCP/IP.

Will the adapters accept print jobs from several servers?

Yes. The Network Adapter accepts print jobs from NetWare and TCP/IP, one job at a time. The adapter accepts print jobs in the order they are received: ﬁrstcome, ﬁrst-served.

How do I ﬁnd out about last-minute information?

Each diskette or CD-ROM includes a README ﬁle. This ﬁle contains latebreaking information and offers tips we may have disco v ered after printing this guide. Please read this ﬁle and use it to help you.

Where can I get help?

You can get help from several sources.

•

Use pull-down menus. Each item in the utility’s pull-down menus has help enclosed with it. To see that help:

Point and click on the menu that you want help with.

Press F1.

The on-line Help information is thorough, containing more complete information than offered in this guide.

Using TCP/IP networks

TCP/IP networks

Introduction

Thank you for buying this multi-protocol adapter. This chapter explains how to set up and use your printer on a Transmission

Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network using this Network Adapter.

Who this chapter is designed for

This chapter is designed for technical people such as TCP/IP programmers and experienced network administrators. It assumes that you have a good working knowledge of your TCP/IP hardware and software.

What this chapter does

First, it explains how to set an IP address, netmask, and gateway using a BOOTP server. It tells you how to set the address, netmask, gateway, and other information at the printer’s control panel.

If you are installing the Network Adapter on a complex network and are also setting up a NetWare envir onment, set up this environment ﬁrst. The utility that comes with this environment may be useful to you in TCP/IP, too.

Second, this chapter also explains the ﬁrmware integrated into the adapter. This ﬁrmware supports the following standard TCP/IP protocols:

•Line Printer Remote/Line Printer Daemon (LPR/LPD)

•File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

•Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

•Finger

•BOOTstrap Protocol (BOOTP)

•Telnet

This chapter explains how you can use standard TCP/IP protocols with this adapter. It gi ves a fe w programming examples. If you are accustomed to writing your own shell scripts, for example, this chapter can help you.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-1

For more information

This utility guide uses standard TCP/IP protocols. Information about these standard protocols is available in RFCs (Request For Comments). These RFCs contain TCP/IP information that is not unique to the Network Adapter.

To obtain an RFC, use FTP services on the Internet as an anonymous user to:

nic.ddn.mil

Look for the RFC in the /rfc directory. For more information about TCP/IP, we recommend a book by Douglas Comer

entitled Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume I: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture.

Setup Before you can use the adapter, you need to set it up. Setup involves a few

simple steps:

1 Checking the physical connections. 2 Printing a setup page to use while you set up the adapter.

Setup

3 Setting the adapter’s IP address, netmask, and gateway. 4 Verifying the setup. 5 Setting a community name.

The rest of this Setup section tells you how to do these steps.

2-2 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Setup

Step 1: check the physical connections

First you need to make sure that your printer and adapter are installed and working correctly. Check the following items.

•Make sure that the printer you want to use is installed on the LAN with the

appropriate Ethernet cable.

•Make sure that the adapter is installed in the printer. Instructions for setting up

the printer and installing adapters are shipped with the printer.

•Make sure that the printer is connected to the LAN with the appropriate

Ethernet cable.

Step 2: print a setup page

Next you need to print a setup page. Keep the setup page. You’ll use information from it later.

Printing a setup page

1 Press the Test button on the adapter until the Test light comes on.

The Data light comes on, and the adapter sends a page to the printer, similar to the one on page 2-4.

Setup

Step 3: set the IP address, netmask, and gateway

You can set the IP address, netmask, and gateway for this adapter in several ways.

The simplest way to set the information is directly on the printer’s control panel. For information about setting the information on the printer’s control panel, go to “Setting the information via the printer control panel” on page 2-8.

You may:

•Use a TCP/IP bootstrap protocol (BOOTP), if you have a BOOTP server

running on your network. For help, go to “Setting the information using a bootstrap protocol” on page 2-6.

•If you are installing the adapter on a complex network and are also setting up

NetWare, run the Network Printer Utility in that environment. You can set the address, netmask, and gateway from that environment.

You may also:

•Set the address using a Remote Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server

running on your network. For help, go to “Setting the information using a RARP server and telnet” on page 2-10.

•Set the address by editing the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table on

one of your host computers

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-5

Setup

Setting the information using a bootstrap protocol

You may set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a TCP/IP bootstrap protocol (BOOTP), if you have a BOOTP server running on your network.

Make sure the BOOTP server is running on the same LAN segment as the adapter. (Some routers will pass the pack ets, b ut man y will not. If the BOOTP server is on a different LAN segment, check your router’s documentation to be sure packets will cross.)

To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a TCP/IP bootstrap protocol:

1 Find the hardware address for the adapter.

To ﬁnd the hardware address, look at the setup page for the adapter. The address is labelled UAA an LAA on the setup page.

• If you are using an Ethernet adapter, be sure to use the address in the right

column. This is the canonical form of the address, circled on the sample setup page on

Choose the Locally Administered Address (LAA), unless it is

000000000000. If the LAA is 000000000000, choose the Universally Administered Address (UAA).

2 Set up the BOOTP server.

computer that is running the BOOTP server. The ﬁle is usually located in /etc/bootptab.

The ﬁle contains information such as the hostname and the IP address. For example, a bootptab record might look similar to this:

jdlprt:\ ht=ether:\ ha=08005A09E610:\ ip=9.51.8.212:\ sm=255.255.255.128:\ gw=9.51.8.132

page 2-4.

To do so, edit the BOOTP ﬁle on the host

where the following means:

jdlprt ht=ether ha=08005A09E610 ip=9.51.8.212 sm=255.255.255.128 gw=9.51.8.132

hostname.

hardware type. hardware address. IP address. netmask. gateway.

If you need help editing the BOOTP ﬁle, try the man page that came with your UNIX software. Most popular UNIX workstations contain man pages that help you with tasks like this. You might try man bootp or man bootptab. If that doesn’t work, consult your system’s documentation.

2-6 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Setup

3 Make sure that BOOTP is enabled.

You can do this from the printer control panel. To enable BOOTP from the printer control panel, follow

these steps:

a Turn the printer power On (|). b Use the printer contr ol panel to ﬁnd the menu item SETUP NETWORK

MENU. Consult your printer documentation to learn the menu path

for your speciﬁc printer, or scroll through the control panel menus until you ﬁnd it.

c Select SETUP NETWORK MENU. d Select Enable BOOTP. e Select Yes.

If you are instructed to do so, turn the printer off.

f When you are ﬁnished, select Ready.

TCP/IP networks

4 Set up the printer’s hostname (network name) in the computer. To do

so, simply deﬁne the printer’s IP name and address in the /etc/hosts ﬁle or on the name server.

This IP address and hostname must match those you set earlier in the BOOTP ﬁle. You may w ant to use a hostname that is meaningful in your environment (for example, a name that identiﬁes the printer’s location).

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-7

Setup

Setting the information via the printer control panel

If you already know the printer’s IP address, netmask, and gateway, you may want to set them at the printer’s control panel. This process sets the address,

netmask, and gateway at this printer only and does not update any BOOTP records you have in your server.

1 Using the printer’s control panel, set the IP address, netmask, and gate-

way.

If you need help, follow these steps:

a Turn the printer power On (|). b Use the printer contr ol panel to ﬁnd the menu item SETUP NETWORK

MENU. Consult your printer documentation to learn the menu path for your speciﬁc printer, or scroll through the control panel menus until you ﬁnd it.

c Select SETUP NETWORK MENU. d Select Set IP ADDRESS, and press ENTER. A screen similar to the

following appears:

IP ADDRESS

000.000.000.000

e Use the MENU button to place the cursor beneath the part of the IP

address that you want to set. Then use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to set the address.

f Press ENTER. g Select Set IP NETMASK, and press ENTER. h Set the IP netmask just as you set the IP address. i Press ENTER. j Select Set IP GATEWAY, and press ENTER. k Set the IP gateway just as you set the IP address. l Press ENTER. m Press READY. Your settings take effect when you return to the Ready

screen. If an error message appears on the printer’s control panel, go to “Using the

printer control panel” on page A-1.

Setup

2 Using the printer’s operator panel, make sure that BOOTP is disabled.

We recommend that you leave BOOTP disabled if you are not using it to set IP addresses. If you need help, follow these steps:

a Turn the printer power On (|). b Use the printer control panel to select the menu item SETUP

NETWORK MENU. Consult your printer documentation to learn the menu path for your speciﬁc printer, or scroll through the control panel menus until you ﬁnd it.

c Select SETUP NETWORK MENU. d Select Enable BOOTP. e Select No.

If you are instructed to do so, turn the printer off.

f When you are ﬁnished, select Ready.

3 Set up the printer’s hostname (network name) in the computer. To do so,

simply deﬁne the printer’s IP name and address in the /etc/hosts ﬁle or on the name server.

TCP/IP networks

This address must match the IP address you set earlier on the printer’s control panel. You may want to use a hostname that is meaningful in your environment (for example, a name that identiﬁes the printer’s location).

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-9

Setup

Setting the information using a RARP server and telnet

You may set the IP address using a RARP (Remote Address Resolution Protocol). You must make sure that you are working on the same physical network as the adapter. Then you can set the netmask and gateway with telnet.

To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a RARP server and telnet:

1 Look at the setup page. Find the hardware address. It is labelled UAA

and LAA.

• If you are using an Ethernet adapter, be sure to use the address in the right

column. This is the canonical form of the address, circled on the sample setup page beginning on page 2-4.

• Choose the Locally Administered Address (LAA), unless it is

000000000000. If the LAA is 000000000000, choose the Universally Administered Address (UAA).

2 Look at the setup page. Make sure BOOTP and RARP are enabled. 3 Set up the RARP server, following the instructions provided by your

host operating system.

4 Turn the printer off then on to reset the adapter.

The adapter sends a RARP request, and the server responds.

5 Use telnet to set the netmask and gateway by typing:

telnet ip.address -p 9000

where ip.address is the IP address you’re using, such as 9.51.8.231.

6 Follow the instructions on the screen to set the netmask and gateway.

If you wish to change the address, netmask, gateway, or community name in the future, you may ﬁnd this telnet function helpful.

2-10 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Setup

Setting the information by editing an ARP table and using telnet

You may set the IP address by editing an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table. You must make sure that the computer where the ARP table is edited is on the same physical network as the adapter. The adapter cannot send this information across a router, until the adapter is conﬁgured.

Then you can use telnet to set the netmask and gateway. To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using an ARP ﬁle and telnet:

1 Look at the printer setup page. Find the hardware address. It is labelled

UAA and LAA.

• If you are using an Ethernet adapter, be sure to use the address in the right

column. This is the canonical form of the address, circled on the sample setup page printed on page 2-4.

Choose the Locally Administered Address (LAA), unless it is

000000000000. If the LAA is 000000000000, choose the Universally Administered Address (UAA).

2 Edit the ARP table to add an IP address.

form of the IP address, such as 9.51.8.231. Use the commands appropriate to the host operating system. On many computers you would type something similar to the following:

arp -s 9.51.8.231 08:00:5A:09:E6:10

Make sure you use the dotted

TCP/IP networks

If you need help and are using a UNIX system, try the man page.

3 PING the adapter. This sets the new address on the adapter. For

example, you might type something similar to:

ping 9.51.8.231

4 Use telnet to set the netmask and gateway. For example, you might type

something similar to:

telnet 9.51.8.231 -p 9000

5 Follow the instructions on the screen to set the netmask and gateway.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-11

Setup

Step 4: verify the setup

You can check to make sure the printer is set up correctly. Just follow these steps.

1 Make sure your computer is on the same physical network as the adap-

ter.

2 Print a test page to verify your settings.

If you need help, go to “Step 2:

print a setup page” on page 2-3.

3 Issue a PING command from your computer, such as:

ping hostname

where hostname is the hostname that you set in the /etc/hosts ﬁle or on the name server.

If PING does not work correctly, make sure that:

•you are using a unique address.

•the ARP table entry is correct.

•all physical connections are working correctly.

•all bridges and routers are operating correctly.

•the hostname that you pinged matches the hostname that you set in the /etc/

hosts

ﬁle or on the name server.

•if you set the address, netmask, and gateway using BOOTP, make sure that:

– Your BOOTP server is conﬁgured correctly. – The IP address and the hostname are set correctly in the BOOTP

ﬁle.

•If you set the address, netmask, and gateway from the printer control panel,

make sure that:

– The IP address is set correctly on the printer’s control panel. If you

need help, see “Setting the information via the printer control panel” on page 2-8.

•If you set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a RARP server or ARP

command and telnet, double-check all your steps. If one of these parameters is wrong, your connection will be lost.

2-12 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Setup

Step 5: set a community name or change TCP/IP information

After you have set the TCP/IP information, you can change it using any of the ways you set the information, or by doing one of the following. This is also the way to set a community name.

•Telnet to port 9000 to change the information.

Type the following at the command prompt:

telnet ip.address -p 9000

where

Follow the instructions on the screen.

ip.address is the IP address you’re using, such as 9.51.8.231.

•FTP a ﬁle to the param directory. The param directory is a special directory

where you can change special TCP/IP-related parameters.

The format of this ﬁle should be:

PASSWORD: 00000000 ADDRESS: 9.51.8.50 NETMASK: . GATEWAY: 9.51.8.30 COMMUNITY: paul END

• You must put a space after the colon, and the headers must be capitalized.

TCP/IP networks

• If you want a parameter to remain unchanged, you should type a period

for that parameter (such as the NETMASK example above).

• If you have set a password for the adapter, you must include the password

in the ﬁle so you’ll be able to change the information. If you have not set a password for the adapter, substitute a period for the password parameter.

• The community name must be less than 30 characters long.

• You must send the ﬁle in ASCII mode (not binary).

Note: The firmware in the Network Adapter includes support for other adapters. The Network Adapter contains only one port (PORT 1) which supports this printer. The multi-purpose firmware in the Network Adapter may make references to port 2 (or IBM 4029 printers), but these statements apply to other types of hardware. Furthermore, any statuses refering to MarkNet XLe should be treated as equivalent statuses of the Network Adapter.

Sending print jobs

You can send jobs to the printer in one of four ways:

•Using a Line Printer Remote (LPR) program that you have already installed.

For information about using an LPR program, continue with “Using a Line Printer Remote (LPR) program” on page 2-16.

•Using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). For information about TFTP, go

to “Using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)” on page 2-18.

•Using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). For information about FTP, go to “Using

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)” on page 2-19.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-15

Using the protocols

Using a Line Printer Remote (LPR) program

You may already use Line Printer Remote and Line Printer Daemon (LPR/ LPD) programs to send print jobs. The LPR program usually runs on the host computer, sending print jobs and control ﬁles to the LPD program running on the print server.

This TCP/IP adapter includes a line printer daemon, which prints previously formatted data ﬁles, as received, and ignores the control ﬁle. You can use your LPR/LPD program to send jobs to the adapter’s line printer daemon.

Using the LPR command

When you use the following options with your LPR command, be sure that:

•server is the address (hostname) of this adapter.

•queue name or remote queue name is the name of the queue that you set up

for this adapter. (Some LPR implementations refer to this as the printer name.) See the table below for examples of sufﬁxes you can append to the queue name:

Example Function

printer_cr

printer

Sends print jobs to the port, and causes the adapter to add a carrier return (or line feed, if appropriate) at the end of each line of text.

Sends print jobs to the port.

•If your program allows you to send the job as a binary file (for

example, with a -b or -v flag), do so. We recommend that all print jobs shall be sent as binary

interpreted clearly.

This adapter ignores control ﬁles sent to it. Therefore, options contained in the control ﬁle do not work. For example, options such as

- those relating to the banner page,

- indentations in the print job, or

- mail sent after the job

do not work.

Note: A queue name may end with any character except “2“. If you used a “2“ at the end of a queue name, your print jobs will not be printed. Under Windows, you can avoid this error by doing one of the following.

(1) Set “_cr“ at the end of the queue name in Windows NT, or (2) Select the Carriage Return and Linefeed insertion mode in “Set lpd

options“ when you go into the Main Menu of the Adapter under the program T elnet.

By doing one of the two above mentioned, the Adapter will add the Carriage Return and Linefeed codes automatically to your print job.

. Sending binary jobs ensures that all code points are

2-16 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Using the protocols

LPR time-outs and retry periods

Some LPR programs wait only a limited amount of time to send their print ﬁles. If you receive a timeout message from your host, the adapter was probably printing a long job. You should retry the print job.

The adapter supports a ﬁnite number of active LPR connections at a time. If more than this number of connections are attempted, the extra attempts will not work. Many UNIX programs retry the print job after a speciﬁed amount of time. If you want to use several active LPR connections, we recommend that you set a short retry period so that print jobs will be sent until they are accepted.

Some UNIX systems may default to a 15-minute retry period. We recommend that you use the lp-system command to set a shorter retry period for those computers. You can also telnet to port 9000, then follow the instructions on the screen.

LPSTAT and LPQ commands

Most line printer status (LPSTAT) commands work as usual with this adapter. W e recommend that you use the ﬁnger command to get the status of the printer,

rather than a line printer query (LPQ) command. Finger returns much more useful information to you than the LPQ command.

If you need information about using ﬁnger to get the printer status, see “Using Finger” on page 2-22.

TCP/IP networks

Using telnet to add carrier returns or line feeds to all LPD print jobs

You can use telnet to change the LPD protocol so that it automatically adds carrier returns or line feeds to all print jobs. You may ﬁnd this helpful if you are printing text ﬁles without graphics.

1 Type the following at the command prompt:

telnet ip.address -p 9000

where

ip.address is the IP address you’re using, such as 9.51.8.231.

2 From the menu that appears, select Set lpd options. 3 Follow the instructions on the screen.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-17

Using the protocols

Using telnet

You can use telnet with the adapter. This is an easy way to set the adapter’s parameters.

1 Set up the host to telnet in line mode, with local echo, and with cr/lf

conversion.

2 If a password is set for the Network Adapter be sure you know it. 3 Type the following at the command prompt:

parameters and take different actions using the Network Adapter. For example:

• Set the address, netmask, and gateway

• Set the community name

• Set a password

• Set lpd options (such as automatic carriage returns, banner page, etc.)

• Assign lpd queue names

• Enable or disable BOOTP, RARP, FTP, and TFTP

• Set the maximum transmission size

• Set up a list of restricted servers

Using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)

You can use TFTP to send a job to the printer just as you normally do. Remember that TFTP is slower than FTP.

The Network Adapters only recognize the TFTP destination ﬁle name:

/prt1

Example

To use TFTP, type a command similar to this:

tftp>put <printfile> /prt1

where <printﬁle> is the name of print job you’re sending and prt1 is the destination ﬁle.

2-18 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Using the protocols

Time-out period

The TFTP protocol used here includes a 30-second inactivity time-out. If data is not received from the host for 30 seconds, then the adapter closes the

TFTP session and begins listening for a new session. The input/output port to the printer and the print job are also closed. This time-out prevents incomplete print jobs from hanging up in the printer and keeping other jobs from printing.

Using FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

You can use FTP to send a job to the printer just as you normally do. FTP reliably sends ﬁles across the network.

The implementation of FTP used here accepts any username and does not require a password.

Network Adapters default to /prt1 as the destination. You may also use the cd command with a destination ﬁlename. For example,

you might type

ftp>cd /prt1 ftp>put <printfile>

where

<prt1> is the name of the destination and <printﬁle> is the name of

the print job you’re sending.

TCP/IP networks

Sending a ﬁle to the param directory

You may also FTP a ﬁle to a special destination: the param directory. This is a special directory where you can set special TCP/IP-related parameters. The format of this ﬁle is:

PASSWORD: 00000000 ADDRESS: 9.51.8.50 NETMASK: . GATEWAY: 9.51.8.30 COMMUNITY: paul END

You must put a space after the colon, and the headers must be capitalized. If you want a parameter to remain unchanged, you should type a period for that parameter (such as the NETMASK example above). The password can be up to eight characters long. The community name must be less than 30 characters long. You must send the ﬁle in ASCII mode (not binary).

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-19

Using the protocols

Time-out periods

There are two time-out periods that may occur in FTP: one during the control connection and one on the data connection.

The time-out during the control connection is 60 seconds. If the control connection is started and no other command is issued for 60 seconds, then the control session is closed. The adapter sends a 421 reply code (service not available, closing control connection).

The time-out default on the data connection is 90 seconds. If data is not received from the host for this data time-out period, then the

adapter closes the FTP data session and begins listening for a new session. The input/output port to the printer and the print job are also closed. This time-out prevents incomplete print jobs from hanging up in the printer and keeping other jobs from printing.

Writing an FTP shell script

If you have written FTP shell scripts to send print jobs to the printer, you can revise those scripts to be used with this adapter. You may send print jobs to /prt1. The adapter will respond to the various commands with standard FTP reply codes.

A sample shell script, on page 2-21, shows you what can be done. We do not guarantee that this script will be usable on your computer; it is simply given as an example for you.

This script does as ASCII FTP of ﬁles speciﬁed on the command line, to the host identiﬁed in the variables. This shell takes data from stdin or from the print ﬁle you specify on the command line.

You can specify several ﬁles on the command line. The -b option causes the transfer to occur in binary.

Using the protocols

Checking printer status

You can check the status of the network printer by using the TCP ﬁnger command.

Using Finger

Finger is a TCP protocol that normally displays user information on a local or a reachable host. This adapter uses ﬁnger to tell you the status of the printer and the current print job.

For example, you may use:

finger info@name

where:

info is optional. When you use it, the adapter returns extended information. name is the IP address or the name stored on the name server or in the

/etc/hosts ﬁle. Please note that some UNIX environments require you to use

the adapter’s name instead of its IP address. By default, ﬁnger returns the status of

all the ports.

Finger responses

The adapter sends an English response, as shown in the following example.

Example 1

This example shows the response you get from the Network Adapter when you use the info option with ﬁnger. This particular example shows that a job is printing through the Parallel 1 port.

Using the protocols

Updating the adapter’s ﬁrmware

To update the adapter’s ﬁrmware, you send a ﬁle to the adapter’s ﬂash memory, overwriting the existing ﬂash memory. This process is also known as ﬂashing the adapter.

You can update the ﬁrmware by using TFTP. To use TFTP, do the following:

1 Get the ﬂash ﬁle you need by contacting your vendor. 2 Do NOT turn off (or reset) the adapter or printer during the ﬂash

process.

This may damage the adapter. The adapter resets itself after

the ﬂash process is ﬁnished.

3 TFTP the ﬁle to this destination: /dev/ﬂash.

2-24 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Troubleshooting

Changing the TCP/IP information

After you have set the TCP/IP information, you can change it using any of the ways you set the information, or by doing one of the following:

•Use telnet to change the information.

1 Type the following at the command prompt:

telnet ip.address -p 9000

where ip.address is the IP address you’re using, such as 9.51.8.231.

2 Follow the instructions on the screen.

•FTP a ﬁle to the param directory.

The param directory is a special directory where you can change special TCP/IP-related parameters. The format of this ﬁle is:

PASSWORD: 00000000 ADDRESS: 9.51.8.50 NETMASK: . GATEWAY: 9.51.8.30 COMMUNITY: paul END

• You must put a space after the colon, and the headers must be capitalized.

• If you want a parameter to remain unchanged, you should type a period

for that parameter (such as the NETMASK example above).

TCP/IP networks

Troubleshooting

• If you have set a password for the adapter, you must include the password

in the ﬁle so you’ll be able to change the information. If you have not set a password for the adapter, substitute a period for the password parameter.

• The community name must be less than 30 characters long. You must send

the ﬁle in ASCII mode (not binary).

This section helps you correct problems you may encounter while using the adapter on a TCP/IP network. It describes the problems when:

• Print jobs are waiting in the queue and when the

• Printer is not receiving jobs.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 2-25

Troubleshooting

Jobs waiting in the queue

The server does not appear to be sending jobs to the network printer you speciﬁed. Jobs are in the queue and appear to be waiting for a long time.

Solution

The printer is probably busy receiving jobs from other servers or from other links.

1 Double-check the printer to be sure that it is working properly. 2 Print a setup page from the adapter.

• Press the Test button until the Test light comes on. The Data light

comes on, and the adapter sends a setup page to the printer.

If the page prints, then the connection between the adapter and the printer is working correctly. If the page does not print, check all the physical connections.

3 Look at the setup page. Make sure the IP protocol is active.

2-26 PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Troubleshooting

Printer not receiving jobs

The printer is not receiving print jobs.

Solution

1 Make sure the printer is turned on and is ready. 2 Make sure that the adapter is installed properly in the printer. To check

this, print a test page. (This is the test page that you printed when you ﬁrst set up your printer.) The adapter will be in the list of attachments on the test page. Instructions for printing the test page can be found in your printer’s documentation.

3 Print a setup page from the adapter.

• Press the Test button until the Test light comes on. The Data light

comes on, and the adapter sends a setup page to the printer.

If the page prints, then the connection between the adapter and the printer is working correctly. If the page does not print, check all the physical connections.

4 Look at the setup page. Make sure the IP protocol is activated. 5 Make sure that the LAN cable is plugged into the printer and into the

LAN, and that the network is working properly.

TCP/IP networks

6 Make sure that the print queues are pr operly deﬁned and that the print

server is functioning correctly. Refer to the documentation for your operating system for help.

7 PING the adapter.

• If PING works, send the ﬁnger command. Finger should return the printer

name with the correct information. If it does not, check the IP address, netmask, and gateway to be sure they are correct. (You can check the address, netmask, and gateway on the printer’s control panel or from other Network Printer Utilities.)

• If PING does not work, check to be sure that the IP Protocol is enabled.

(You can check this via the MarkV ision utility.) Also, check to be sure that bridges and routers are functioning correctly. Finally, verify all the physical connections between the adapter, the printer, and the network.

If the IP Protocol is enabled, check the IP address, netmask, and gateway to be sure they are correct. (You can check these on the printer’s control panel or from other Network Printer Utilities.) Also, verify all physical connections between the adapter, the printer, and the LAN.

Conﬁguring the adapter

Step 3: add the adapter to the MarkVision window

If you use version 1.06 follow the steps described below or refer to the Operation Guide of MarkVision coming with the printer you purchased.

By design, TCP/IP devices do not broadcast their presence (as, for example, NetWare objects do). Because of this design, MarkVision has no way to automatically ﬁnd an adapter and monitor it. Therefore, you must inform MarkVision about adapters that you want it to show in its list.

To add an IP adapter to the list in the MarkVision window:

1 In the MarkVision printer window, click on the Conﬁgure option in the

pull-down menu.

2 Click TCP/IP Settings.

The list of TCP/IP adapters that you want MarkVision to enumerate appears. (The box is empty until you add the ﬁrst TCP/IP adapter.)

3 Click Add Adapter. 4 Fill in the IP address that you deﬁned in the previous step. 5 Fill in the community name.

The name you specify must match the community name stored inside the adapter. The original community name is public.

6 Fill in the host name ﬁeld with any name you choose. This is the name

that you use to refer to the adapter.

7 Click OK.

MarkVision saves the changes in an ASCII ﬁle named !MVNETIP.INI.

Step 4: set the adapter’s general parameters

1 In the MarkVision printer window, double-click on the adapter port

that you wish to conﬁgure.

2 Click the Adapter Settings tab. 3 Set or verify all the general parameters for the adapter and port (such

as address and so forth).

4 Click Apply.

To process Peer to Peer printing

Peer to Peer is an easy way for you to print from a W indo ws 95 workstation to a printer locally connected to a network attached personal computer. A Peer to Peer network consist of personal computers linked together so that a computer can share the hardware and software resources of the other computers on the network. You can print from Peer to Peer in a Windows 95 environment.

The following drawing shows how print jobs move from a workstation using Peer to Peer.

Windows 95

operating systems

MarkVision provides a way for you to print to a local printer connected to a network attached computer when your workstation uses Windows 95 as an operating system. Peer to Peer requires that print sharing be enabled on the computer that has the locally attached printer and that the printer be shared. MarkVision requires Peer to Peer to be installed to monitor the printer.

Prerequisites

1 The standard Windows 95 Client for Microsoft Networks client must be

installed to provide the ability to logon to the Peer to P eer netw ork. This is the standard conﬁguration.

Note: MarkVision does not have to be running for you to print.

2 The standard W indows 95 F ile and Print Sharing f or Microsoft Networks

must be installed and conﬁgured to allow the workstation to share its printers across the network.

3 In order for MarkVision to monitor the printer it is required as a

minimum that the following components are custom installed.

a MarkVision Printer Utility. b MarkVision Sound and Default Setup ﬁles. c MarkVision Peer to Peer client Support. d MarkVision Server Support.

Setting up the adapter

Now that you have installed and started the utility, you need to set up the adapter so that you can send print jobs to it.

What setup accomplishes

In the process of setting up the adapter, you accomplish two major tasks:

•creating the components, or objects, that NetWare needs to use with the

adapter

•conﬁguring the adapter so that it operates in the desired mode (PSERVER or

NPRINTER/RPRINTER), and giving the adapter information about its network components

Please note that NetWare 3.x uses the term RPRINTER for setting up a printer in remote printer mode. This same mode is called NPRINTER in NetWare 4.x.

Utilities to use

To set up the adapter, you may use either:

• the Network Printer Utility alone.

This utility provides all of the functions you need to set up the adapters in a NetWare environment. The utility is designed to meet the needs of a network administrator and can only be started by a person who has network supervisory rights.

Functions that you may be accustomed to doing from PCONSOLE (such as setting up print queues) can be managed from the Network Printer Utility.

• PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, plus the Network Printer Utility.

If you are accustomed to using PCONSOLE or NWADMIN to set up NetWare components or objects, you may continue to do so. Then use the Network Printer Utility to conﬁgure the adapter.

To set up the adapter

1 From the Network Printer Utility’s menu bar, select Help, (even if you

want to set up the adapter using PCONSOLE and this utility.)

2 From the Help’s Table of Contents, select Conﬁguring the Adapter. 3 Select the section that is relevant to you.

Sections devoted to NetWare 3.x and 4.x are listed, including information about PCONSOLE methods of setting up the adapter.

5-6 PagePrinter Network Adapter : Utilities & Environments

Setting up the adapter

If you need help deciding whether to use PSERVER or NPRINTER/ RPRINTER, continue with “Deciding whether to use NPRINTER/ RPRINTER mode or PSERVER mode” on this page.

4 Print those instructions and follow them to set up your adapter.

What to do next

When you have ﬁnished setting up the adapter, continue with “Verifying the adapter setup” on page 5-11.

Deciding whether to use NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode or PSERVER mode

When conﬁguring your adapter, you’ll have to set it up in either NPRINTER/ RPRINTER or in PSERVER mode.

How NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode works

A network adapter conﬁgured in NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode acts as a remote printer. This remote printer receives print jobs from a print server. The print server, a program called PSERVER.NLM running on a NetWare server, obtains print jobs from a queue and sends them to the remote printer.

The following diagram shows how NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode works.

NetWare

networks

Remote printer

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 5-7

Setting up the adapter

How PSERVER mode works

An adapter set up in PSER VER mode acts as a print serv er attached to NetWare servers. This adapter obtains print jobs from queues located on one or more servers. PSERVER adapters actually log into NetWare servers as a NetWare client and, therefore, require one NetWare user license slot per PSERVER device.

The following diagram shows how PSERVER mode works.

NPRINT versus PSERVER in NetWare 4 NetWare Directory Services (NDS)

Adapters are fully supported in NetWare 4 NDS, using either NPRINT or PSERVER mode. You do not need to use bindery emulation in either mode.

NPRINT mode in NetWare 4 NDS

Advantage of using NPRINT mode in NDS:

•Does not require a NetWare server user license slot

Disadvantage of using NPRINT mode in NDS:

•Little information is available about the print job. After a job leaves a print

server queue, it is removed from the queue, regardless of whether it actually prints. This could cause a print job to be lost, if the printer is turned off in the middle of the print job. This is inherent in the NetWare design, and is not a problem caused by the adapter.

5-8 PagePrinter Network Adapter : Utilities & Environments

Setting up the adapter

Notes about printing performance:

•Many people prefer to conﬁgure their network adapters in PSERVER mode,

because they are used to it, since in early versions of NetWare PSERVER performance was signiﬁcantly better than NPRINTER/RPRINTER performance.

This performance difference is smaller for NetWare 4.x. The actual print job throughput is affected by many other factors such as topology, job size and content, and network adapter settings. Under many circumstances, NPRINTER mode provides an excellent NetWare 4.x NDS solution.

PSERVER mode in NetWare 4.x NDS

Advantages of using PSERVER mode in NDS:

•Does not require that PSERVER.NLM is installed on the NetWare server.

•Performance. Although overall print job throughput is affected by many

factors, ﬁle transfer time on the network may be faster using PSERVER mode because:

– In NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode, NetWare uses SPX to transfer

packets. Packet size for data transmitted in SPX is 512 bytes.

– In PSERVER mode, NetWare uses IPX to transfer packets. Packet

size for data transmitted in IPX is up to 1 Kbyte for Ethernet networks.

Because of this difference in packet size, PSERVER mode may be faster than NPRINTER/RPRINTER mode. Please note, however, that the packet size is negotiated by the client application. This actual IPX packet size is often less than the maximum because of packet size limitations of gateways and routers.

If printing is a signiﬁcant part of your network trafﬁc, and if network traf ﬁc is a proven concern for your network, you may ﬁnd it better to use the adapters in PSERVER mode.

Troubleshooting

This section helps you to correct problems you may encounter while using the Network Adapters regarding their symptoms:

• Utility unable to ﬁnd the network printer

• Print jobs stay in the queue

Utility unable to ﬁnd the network printer

While conﬁguring the adapter, the utility is unable to ﬁnd the network printer (that is, the network printer does not appear in the adapter list).

Solution

1 Make sure the printer is turned on and is Ready. 2 Make sure that the adapter is installed properly. To check this, print a

test page. (This is the test page that you printed when you ﬁrst set up your printer.) The adapter will be in the list of attachments on the test page. You can ﬁnd instructions for printing the test page in your printer’s documentation.

3 Make sure that:

• The status light on the adapter is on.

• The adapter is completely connected to the LAN.

4 Make sure all routers are conﬁgured properly. 5 Make sure the workstation network drivers are up to date. 6 From the Network Printer Utility menu, select View/Search for Adapters

by/Entire Network.

Print jobs stay in the queue

The server does not appear to be sending jobs to the network printer you speciﬁed.

5-12 PagePrinter Network Adapter : Utilities & Environments

Troubleshooting

Solution

1 The printer is probably busy receiving jobs from other servers or from

other links. Check the printer to be sure it is working properly.

2 Make sure the adapter is installed properly.

To check this, print a test page. (This is the test page that you printed when you ﬁrst set up your printer.) The adapter will be in the list of attachments on the test page. You can ﬁnd instructions for printing the test page in your printer’s documentation.

3 Print a setup page from the adapter. If the page prints, then the

connection between the adapter and the printer is working correctly . If the page does not print, check all the physical connections.

• Press the Test button until the Test light comes on. The Data light

blinks, and the adapter sends a page to the printer.

4 Look at the setup page. Make sure the NetWare protocol is active and

the proper frame types are set.

5 Check the Network Printer Utility to make sure you have:

Conﬁgured the adapter. If you need help, go to “To set up the

adapter” on page 5-6.

b Enabled the port. If you need help, use the utility’s on-line help.

6 If you are using PSERVER mode, make sure you have:

Deﬁned the adapter as a print server. If you need help, go to “To set

up the adapter” on page 5-6.

b Deﬁned print queue names. If you need help, use the utility’ s on-line

help.

c Assigned the adapter’s login name to service the print queue. If you

need help, use the utility’s on-line help.

d Used Nov ell’s PCONSOLE utility to mak e sure the queue is not being held.

PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments 5-13

Troubleshooting

7 If you are using RPRINTER mode, make sure you have:

Deﬁned a NetW are server for the adapter to service. If you need help,

go to the utility’s on-line help.

b Deﬁned print queue names. If you need help, go to the utility’s on-

line help.

c Deﬁned the adapter as a remote printer. If you need help, go to the

utility’s on-line help.

d Used Nov ell’s PCONSOLE utility to mak e sure the queue is not being held. e Unloaded the print server, or rebooted the computer , after you conﬁgure the

utility. (After conﬁguration, you will be prompted to unload PSERVER.NLM or reboot your computer. Be sure you do so.) This is necessary and a normal function of Novell’ s RPRINTER mode. If you need help, consult your RPRINTER documentation.

8 If some ﬁles stayed in the queues without being printed, then the LAN

cable was probably disconnected from the server while the print job was active. Reconnect the cable, reset the adapter, and try again.

Troubleshooting

Adapter service

If your adapter needs service:

•Make a note of the light pattern, then contact your point of purchase. The

adapter contains no replaceable parts and may need to be returned.

•Make sure you don’t send print jobs to a nonexistent adapter. If you do, these

print jobs will be stored in the queue.

•If your adapter is defective and you need to replace it, make sure you delete or

hold all queues before removing the adapter from the LAN.
