Connecting to a Computer

2 Connecting to a Computer

Connect the printer controller to the computer using either of the
following two methods.

To connect to the parallel port

Using a parallel cable, locally connect the printer directly to a computer.

Refer to “2.1 Connecting to the Parallel Port (Local Connection)” on page
2-2.

To connect to the Ethernet 10/100Base-T port

If the printer is to be used on a network, connect it using a
10/100Base-T cable.

Refer to “2.2 Connecting to the Ethernet 10/100Base-T Port (Network
Connection)” on page 2-3.

IMPORTANT

è If the printer is to be used on a network, the optional network interface

card NC-3 must be installed.

Connecting to a Computer

2.1 Connecting to the Parallel Port (Local Connection)

Use the parallel cable to connect the parallel port of the printer controller
to the parallel port of the computer.

IMPORTANT

è Be sure to use a shielded parallel cable. Use of an unshielded cable

may result in radio frequency interference.

è The parallel port is compatible with IEEE1284 Type B standards.

1 Make sure that the Digital Copier and the computer to be connected

to the Digital Copier are turned OFF.

2 Connect one end of the parallel cable to the parallel port (printer port)

of the computer.

3 Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port of the printer

controller installed in the Digital Copier.

This completes the connection of the printer controller to the
computer.

Connecting to a Computer

2.2 Connecting to the Ethernet 10/100Base-T Port (Network Connection)

If the printer is to be used on a network, connect the network interface
card to the network (LAN).

IMPORTANT

è This connection requires the optional network interface card NC-3.

è Be sure to use a shielded cable for the Ethernet 10/100Base-T cable.

Use of an unshielded cable may result in radio frequency interference.

1 Make sure that the Digital Copier is turned OFF.

2 Connect one end of the Ethernet 10/100Base-T cable to the 10/

100Base-T port of the network interface card, and then connect the
other end of the cable to the hub.

No setting under “Output Paper Size” can be specified under the
following conditions:

è When the “N-up” setting on the [Setup] tab is specified to print

multiple pages on a single sheet of paper

è When “Rendering Mode” on the [Quality] tab is set to “Send Page as

l Output Paper Size

To print on paper with a size different from “Original Document Size”,
check this box, and then select the desired paper size from the drop­down list.

l Fit to Paper

Check this option when you want the print image to be scaled to fit
the paper size specified in the “Output Paper Size” box. The image is
automatically enlarged or reduced to fit the paper size, and then
printed. In this case, the “Scaling” setting cannot be specified.

l Scaling

The print area of the document can be enlarged or reduced. Enter a
value or use the arrow buttons to specify a scaling ratio (between
20% and 400%).

This item specifies the number of copies to be printed. You can specify
any value from 1 to 999.

Collate at Printer

The Collate feature supports multi-document printing (when the number
of copies being output is two or more).

If “On” is selected, multiple copies of the entire document are printed
with each set containing all pages (1, 2, 3...1, 2, 3...1, 2, 3).

If “Off” is selected, multiple copies of the document are printed with each
set containing copies of the same page (1, 1, 1...2, 2, 2...3, 3, 3).

NOTE

è The “Collate at Printer” setting may not be available with some

applications.

è If “Off” is selected and the memory becomes full while data is being

received, print the received pages first. For example, if five copies of
a 10-page document are being printed, first print five copies of pages
1 through 5, and then print five copies of pages 5 through 10.

This function sets the orientation of the printed page to either “Portrait”
or “Landscape”.

9.1 Assigning IP Parameters Using Initializer

BOOTP is a protocol for assigning IP parameters to a Network Interface
Card (NIC). When Initializer is run on a computer, a BOOTP request from
a NIC causes IP parameters that match the MAC address of the NIC to
be assigned to the NIC.

Requirements

l Computer must have TCP/IP installed and enabled.

l NIC must be connected to the same subnetwork as the computer

running Initializer.

NOTE

è Initializer does not operate properly on a computer running a DHCP

server.

9

è If you have alreday set a fixed IP address, the Copier setting must be

set to “Assign automatically or “AUTO”. Refer to “ IP Address” on
page 6-2 or “ IP Address” on page 6-8.

Using Initializer

1 To check the MAC address of the NIC, print out the Configuration

Page.

For details on printing the Configuration Page, refer to “ Outputting a
Report” on page 5-6 or “ Outputting a Report” on page 5-15.

2 On the computer you want to use, maneuver to the directory you want

and copy the “initialize.exe” file to it.

The “initialize.exe” file is located in the root directory on the CD-ROM.

3 Double-click “initialize.exe”.

The Initializer dialog box appears.

4 Reset the Digital Copier by powering it down and then back up again.

The above step outputs a fixed-period BOOTP request.

Pi1802e 9-1

5 Wait for about five minutes until the NIC resets.

6 Click the [Next] button.

7 Enter beside “MAC address” the MAC address specified on the

Configuration Page printed in step 1, or select the MAC address from
the list.

NOTE

è Use colons to delimit each octet in the MAC address as shown on the

Configuration Page.

8 Click the [Next] button.

9 Enter the following parameters.

m IP address

IP address assigned to the NIC

m Subnet mask

Subnet mask value of connected network

m Default gateway

Router IP address of connected network

10Click the [Next] button.

11Display the MS-DOS prompt and type the following:

ping <IP address of the NIC>

12Repeat step 11 until a response is received. Configuration is

complete when a response starting with the words Reply from... is
returned.

13On the Initializer dialog box, click the [Exit] button.

14Start up PageScope Light, click th “TCP/IP Configuration” menu on
