1-1 Pi5500 on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Pi5500 and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation.

Pi5500 on the network

When the Pi5500 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PCL or PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Pi5500 supports the following network protocols:

•AppleTalk

•TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The SMB protocol supports installing printer drivers through Point and Print and Windows (SMB) printing. The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets.

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or can print to the Pi5500 parallel port.

When you add the Pi5500 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

•Physically connecting the Pi5500 to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring network servers

• Pi5500 Setup

Stages of installation on the network

Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:

Prepare a network node for the Pi5500—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Pi5500 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface of the Pi5500. For details, see page 1-11.

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Pi5500 as a PostScript or PCL printer. For information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see Chapter 4.

Conﬁgure the Pi5500 for your particular printing and network environment. For details, see Chapter 2.

• Client setup

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Pi5500 over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started, and some information is provided in Chapter 4 of this manual.

•System administration

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 5.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and for using remote utilities. To use the diagrams, ﬁnd the page with your preferred platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books referred to in the keys.

The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star conﬁguration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual.

If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Pi5500 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.

The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

1-11 Before you begin

Before you begin

The following steps should be completed before you conﬁgure the Pi5500 and the workstations that will print to the Pi5500. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.

TO PREPARE FOR PI 5500 CONFIGURATION

1. Print a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.

2. Turn off the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Pi5500.

3. To conﬁrm this connection, turn on the copier and then the Pi5500 and print a Test Page from the Control Panel.

To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to display the Functions menu. (See “Pi5500 Control Panel” on page 2-3.) Choose Print Pages, and then choose Test Page.

4. With both the copier and the Pi5500 turned off, connect the network cable to the Pi5500, as described in the following section.

The network should already be installed and operational.

5. Turn on the copier and then the Pi5500.

6. Prepare network servers to share Pi5500 user software and to enable networked users to print to the Pi5500, and proceed to Setup.

For details, see Chapters 2 and 3.

Page 28

1-12 Connecting to the Network

Ethernet cable connection

The Pi5500 supports Ethernet cabling with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, deﬁned as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT or deﬁned as Category 3 or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Pi5500.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Pi5500 is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast

Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.

When you connect the Pi5500 to the network, do not touch the pins of the Pi5500

TO USE UTP CABLE FOR 100BASET OR 10BASET

connectors with your ﬁngers or any metal object. Such contact can cause a discharge of static electricity that will damage the Pi5500.

1. With the Pi5500 turned off, connect the RJ-45 cable connector to the RJ-45 socket on the back of the Pi5500.

2. Conﬁgure network servers for printing, and then proceed to Setup.

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the Pi5500 can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed, bidirectional parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.

The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE

1. With the Pi5500 and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to the parallel port of the Pi5500.

For the location of the parallel port, see the illustration on page 1-12.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.

3. Turn on the computer and the Pi5500.

4. Proceed to Setup.

OTE: Be sure to use the parallel cable supplied with your Pi5500.

To print to the parallel port, you must set up the parallel port connection (see “Parallel Port Setup options” on page 2-13). For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.

2-1 About Pi5500 Setup

Chapter 2: Setting up the Pi5500

The Pi5500 ﬁts into a variety of work environments. To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial conﬁguration to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do.

About Pi5500 Setup

When the copier is turned on after new system software is loaded, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Control Panel menus and messages. After that, the Server, Network, Printer, PCL, PS, and Job Log Setups, in that order, can be conﬁgured from the Control Panel.

On Novell or Windows NT (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers should be configured for printing to the Pi5500 before you enter network settings on the Pi5500. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for Network Setup.

For Setup, you need a live network connection so the Pi5500 can query the network for zones, servers, server-based queues, and other essential information. When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the Pi5500 during Setup, you can allow the Pi5500 to get these addresses automatically.

Whenever the configuration of the Pi5500, a copier, or the network itself changes at your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment. Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the corresponding settings.

NOTE: Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more

than one Setup area.

Page 32

2-2 Setting up the Pi5500

Pi5500 Setup from the Control Panel

Setup performed from the Control Panel after turning on or restarting the Pi5500 conﬁgures the Pi5500 to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.

Setup provides the following groups of options:

•Server Setup to specify system options

•Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that will transmit print

jobs to the Pi5500

•Printer Setup to specify the way print jobs and queues are managed

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• PCL (Printer Control Language) Setup to specify output defaults such as font

source and paper size

•Job Log Setup to specify how the Pi5500 handles its log of printed jobs

The Setup menus also allow you to set an Administrator password and clear the jobs queued on the Pi5500.

If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, set up NDS ﬁrst. Setting up NDS after Bindery will overwrite Bindery Setup.

If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, and uses NetWare 4.x/5.x servers in bindery emulation, note that the Pi5500 cannot service NDS and bindery emulation servers on the same NDS tree.

NDS Setup

Before entering NDS settings, be sure the Pi5500 is connected to the network and you have already conﬁgured an NDS directory tree with a Printer, a Print Server, and one or more Print Queue objects for Pi5500 jobs (see page 4-7). To perform NDS Setup, you may need permission to browse the NDS tree. If access to the Print Server is restricted, you need a login password.

The main objective of NDS Setup is to specify the Print Server object. In addition, you can indicate the location of the Pi5500 print queues.

Note that the terms NetWare server, Novell server, and IPX server are in common use and are used here interchangeably to mean the server on an IPX network running Novell NetWare networking software.

2-39 Pi5500 print connections

Pi5500 print connections

In Pi5500 Printer Setup, you decide how the Pi5500 manages print jobs by deciding which printing connections should be “published” to users over the network. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If you do not want users to print to a connection, do not publish it.

You can publish two types of connections on the Pi5500: the Direct connection and queues. At least one connection to the Pi5500 must be published.

Direct connection

Jobs are transmitted to the Pi5500 Direct connection only when the Pi5500 is ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Pi5500 is ready, and are processed as soon as a prior job is ﬁnished, before the next queued job is processed.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Pi5500 hard disk. The jobs appear in the Fiery WebSpooler displays of current jobs, but they cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive jobs. If you plan to download fonts to the Pi5500 via the network, you must publish the Direct connection.

NOTE: You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,

however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.

Queues

A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print jobs are being sent to the Pi5500. When a job is printed to a Pi5500 queue, it is stored on the Pi5500 hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk, quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.

Users can print only to published connections. However, job storage areas for all queues exist on the Pi5500, so that administrators or other users of Fiery WebSpooler can move or copy jobs to the Print or Hold queue, whether or not these queues are published.

Page 70

2-40 Setting up the Pi5500

The Pi5500 hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and Printed). Users may print to two of them (Print and Hold).

• Print queue—This is the standard Pi5500 queue. The Pi5500 prints jobs from the

Print queue in the order in which they were received.

• Hold queue—The Hold queue can be used for storing jobs that will be printed at a

later time, and jobs that will be printed repeatedly. The Hold queue requires some administration. In order to print a job sent to the Hold queue, the job has to be moved or copied from the Hold queue to the Print queue. Printing and deleting jobs from the Hold queue requires Fiery WebSpooler.

• Printed queue—The Printed queue is a job storage area on the Pi5500 disk; it

contains the most recent jobs printed from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. A Server Setup option enables this queue and governs the maximum number of jobs retained in it at any given time (see page 2-8). Reprinting jobs in this queue requires Fiery WebSpooler.

2-41 Printer Setup options

In the list of options that follows, default values, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

Publish Direct Connection Yes/No [Yes]

This option enables users to print (or download) jobs to the Pi5500 without spooling. Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not saved in the Printed queue.

If you plan to download fonts to the Pi5500, you must publish the Direct connection.

Publish Print Queue Yes/No [Yes]

This option enables users to print (or download) jobs to the Print queue. Jobs printed to the Print queue are spooled to the Pi5500 disk and printed on a ﬁrst-in, ﬁrst-out basis. Only the connections published in Printer Setup are available to users.

•To print to the Pi5500 over a TCP/IP network, you must publish either (or both)

the Print queue and the Hold queue.

•To print to the Pi5500 over the parallel port, you must publish a queue or publish

the Direct connection.

Publish Hold Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Use this option to enable users to print (or download) jobs to the Hold queue. Jobs in the Hold queue can be printed only by copying or moving them to the Print queue with Fiery WebSpooler.

Parallel Connection Print Queue/Hold Queue/Direct Connection [Print Queue]

Use this option to determine where jobs printed to the parallel port are sent. Only the connections that you published are displayed.

This option appears only if you selected Yes for the Enable Parallel Port option in Network Setup. If only one of the connections is published, this option does not appear and parallel port jobs are automatically printed to that connection.

Administrative functions in the Setup menu

The remaining options in the Setup menu allow you manage print jobs, but are not required for printing:

• Job Log Setup allows you to specify whether the Pi5500 prints and clears its log of

printed jobs automatically. For details, see the following section.

• Change Password enables you to create or change an administrator password on the

Pi5500 so that casual users cannot enter the Setup menus and change Pi5500 settings without permission. In addition, an administrator password controls remote job management functions via Fiery WebSpooler. A password created using the Setup menu prevents Pi5500 users from reprinting print jobs, moving print jobs (changing their priority or their queue), and deleting or conﬁguring jobs, other than their own. For details, see the Job Management Guide.

The administrator password also controls printer driver defaults for printer drivers installed with Point and Print on Windows NT 4.0 clients. For information on installing printer drivers with Point and Print, see Getting Started.

•

Clear Server clears all queued print jobs from the Pi5500—jobs in the Pi5500 Print,

Hold, and Printed queues. The Job Log is cleared at the same time. If an administrator password has been set, unauthorized users will not see this command (or any of the administrative or Setup options).

• Factory Defaults clears all queued jobs and resets the Pi5500 Setup options to the

factory defaults. Once the Pi5500 is reset, you select the language in which to display Setup menus and system messages.

connected to the Pi5500. This setting enables the Pi5500 to communicate over AppleTalk networks.

Select Zone—The Pi5500 searches the network for AppleTalk zones in your network

segment. Scroll through the list to select the AppleTalk zone in which you want the Pi5500 to appear. If your segment has only one zone, the Pi5500 is assigned to that zone automatically.

If no AppleTalk zone can be found, your network may not have any deﬁned zones, or the network cable has not been connected (see page 5-4). Choose OK.

TO CONFIGURE IPX FRAME TYPES

• Click the Protocol2 tab in the Network Setup window.

The Pi5500 supports these following Ethernet frame types for IPX/SPX: Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP. For Token Ring, the supported frame types are Token Ring and Token Ring SNAP. You can also allow the Pi5500 to select the frame type automatically.

Auto Select—Click Auto Select to specify all supported IPX frames, whether or not

they are supported on your network. To determine the frame types that were successfully bound, save your settings, restart the Pi5500, and print a Conﬁguration page.

Manual Select—To specify IPX frames used with NetWare, click Manual Select, and

click Select Frames. See your network administrator to verify which frame type to choose.

In the IPX Frames dialog box, select frames and click Add and Remove to specify the selected frames.

TO CONFIGURE PSERVER SETUP

• Click the Service1 tab in the Network Setup window.

You can modify NetWare 3.x (Bindery), and NetWare 4.x or 5.x (NDS) conﬁgurations from Command WorkStation. Select the Enable NDS option if your network uses NetWare 4.x or 5.x in native mode. Click Bindery Setup if your network uses NetWare 3.x, or uses NetWare 4.x or 5.x in bindery emulation mode.

NOTE: If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, set up NDS ﬁrst. Setting up NDS

after Bindery will overwrite Bindery Setup. If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, including using NetWare 4.x or 5.x servers in bindery emulation, the Pi5500 cannot service NDS and bindery emulation servers on the same NDS tree.

PServer Setup (NetWare Services)

The Enable PServer mode option must be selected if you have a Novell server connected. You can, however, change the PServer polling interval and then modify either Bindery Setup or NDS Conﬁguration.

NOTE: The terms NetWare server, Novell server, and IPX server are in common use and

are used here interchangeably to mean the server on an IPX network running Novell NetWare networking software.

PServer Setup (NDS Conﬁguration)

In initial setup, the Pi5500 was connected to the network and an NDS directory tree, with a Printer, a Print Server, and one or more Print Queue objects for Pi5500 jobs (see page 4-7), was conﬁgured. You can make any changes to that setup through Command WorkStation. To modify NDS Setup, you may need permission to browse the NDS tree. If access to the Print Server is restricted, you will need a login password.
