Configuration

introduCtion

This machine has a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface. This guide explains its functionality.

Although the Network Interface is integral in some machines and is added as a Network Interface Card (NIC) in others, access for interconnection and producing self-diagnostic test and conﬁguration printouts is provided in both cases via an interface panel at the rear of the printer.

This network interface card supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-II and SNAP and can detect those frame types automatically.

Also, the interface card supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/ SPX (NetWare), EtherTalk and NetBEUI.

This section details the Network Interface speciﬁcation and several software utilities.

For multiple emulation printers, change the emulation in the Printer Menu settings to Auto or PS before printing the self-diagnostic test and settings.

No guarantees are offered for other browsers. Refer to the relevant manuals for details of how to launch and use the browser.

The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples only. Network addresses used in your installation must be generated from your own network. To apply conﬁguration changes using a Web browser, you will be prompted for a username and password. The username is [root] and the default password is the last six characters of the MAC address.

1. Conﬁgure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the network card. Launch the Web browser, enter the IP Address of the network interface card in [Address (Location/Position)] and press the [Enter] key. The Printer Status screen is displayed.

2. Select a tab and items to be changed in the left frame. You need to log in as "root" to be able to conﬁgure all items. Non-root users cannot conﬁgure all items.

3. To ensure correct operation, follow the procedure below for the appropriate network browser.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

a. Select [Internet Options] in the [Tools] menu.

b. Click on the [General] tab and click [Settings] in

[Temporary Internet ﬁles].

c. Check browser version. For example, version 6.0 [Check

for newer versions of stored pages].

Netscape Navigator

a. Select [Settings] in the [Edit] menu

b. Click [Cache] in [Details].

c. Select [Once per session] in [Document in cache is

compared to document on network].

Configur ation 24

d. If you change the window size of the browser immediately

after changing the conﬁguration, the [Security information] may be displayed. Uncheck [Display this message next time] in the dialogue.

After making changes, click [Submit].

The root password can be changed to allow you to conﬁgure the Network Interface and printer by using a Web browser/TELNET/ AdminManager. The default password is the last six characters of the MAC address (any alpha characters must be in upper case). To change the root password, select "Password Conﬁguration" in the Maintenance tab and follow the on-screen instructions.

Configur ation 25

uSing telnet

The Network Interface can be conﬁgured using TELNET. TELNET requires the Network Interface to have a valid IP address conﬁgured. If the NIC already has an IP address conﬁgured, skip steps one to three below.

Note: Please ensure a valid IP address for you network environment

is used. Use of an incorrect IP address can cause serious problems on your network.

The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.4 as an example. The method of conﬁguring commands may differ between workstations. Refer to the workstation's manual.

1. Login as [root].

If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should run the conﬁguration.

2. Set a temporary IP Address on the NIC using the ARP command.

Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and network card address 00:80:87:01:00:D2

# arp -s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2 temp

The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the selfdiagnostic test. A temporary address does not need to be set if an IP address has already been set.

3. Use the PING command to conﬁrm the connection with the network card.

Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127

# ping 192.168.20.127

If there is no reply, there is a problem with the conﬁguration of the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or dynamically), or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager.

Configur ation 26

4. Login to the network card using TELNET.

Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127

$ telnet 192.168.20.127

Trying 192.168.20.127

Connected to 192.168.20.127

This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network from various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous ways of printing from Windows and the exact set-up will vary depending upon your environment. There are also numerous versions of Windows, which can be conﬁgured as either a client, server or both.

Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of network printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help with all of their operating systems and this is a good reference point for the exact details of each conﬁguration option within Windows.

The network printer supports the following protocols that can be used in conjunction with the Windows operating system:

TCP/IP

IPX (Novell NetWare)

NetBEUI

Microso ft WindoWs 39

installation of tcP/iP Protocol

There are a number of options available when printing using TCP/IP for Windows. The following table lists the options:

Port 9100

IPP

These functions are built into Windows and are displayed as options when using the Add Printer Wizard.

Although there are some differences in conﬁguration options between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using TCP/IP is the same.

1. Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed in Windows. This can be conﬁrmed by checking the network settings from within the Control Panel. If TCP/IP has not been installed refer to the section below Installation of TCP/IP protocol.

2. If not already conﬁgured, a suitable IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway address should be conﬁgured. Please refer to the on-line help if necessary. It is vital that the IP address entered is unique and valid. Entering an incorrect IP address may cause severe network problems. Please check the address with the network administrator.

3. If your network environment uses domain names, DNS should be enabled and conﬁgured on your system. However, this step is not essential to enable network printing.

4. Restart the operating system.

novell netWare iPX

IPX is used with Novell NetWare. The Network interface supports Novell 3, 4, 5 and 6, and allows print jobs to be directed to the appropriate Novell print queue. Please refer to the relevant section of this manual for additional information.

netBeui Protocol

NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for ﬁle and printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of printing but the protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small or home networks.

Network Printer Settings

There are three conﬁgurable items under NetBEUI within the printer. These can be conﬁgured using the standard set-up utility described in the "Conﬁguration" chapter.

COMPUTER NAME: NAME ASSIGNED TO THE PRINTER

Workgroup: PrintSer ver

Comment: User deﬁnable description

Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remains as PrintSer ver.

Although there are some differences in conﬁguration options between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is the same.

Please ensure the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows. This can be conﬁrmed by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI has not been installed please refer to the section below.

Novell NetWare

overvieW

The Network Interface supports the Novell NetWare environment.

It is necessary to have NetWare Administrator or Supervisor rights to change the conﬁguration. This guide is for NetWare administrators. It should be read in conjunction with the relevant Novell NetWare manual. The latest Novell service packs and Novell client versions should be installed.

Supported verSioNS aNd ModeS

NetWare 3.11 + Bindery

NetWare 4.1+ Bindery and NDS

NetWare 5+ Binder y, NDS and NDPS

NetWare 6 Bindery, NDS, NDPS and iPrint

In NDS, the printer can be conﬁgured to work in either print server mode or remote printer mode.

reMote priNter Mode

Remote Printer Mode requires a connection to be made to a workstation running Pserver. Print jobs are received from the ﬁle server via the NetWare print server. The network interface card emulates the workstation on which the NetWare Rprinter operates. Remote Printer Mode adds additional trafﬁc to the network and is slower than Print Server Mode but does not require any additional licences.

priNt Server Mode (recoMMeNded)

In Print Server Mode, the ﬁle server is logged in and the printer queue is repeatedly polled to determine whether a print job exists. The NetWare print server or workstation where Pserver runs is emulated. This enables high speed printing without applying a load to the network. Print Server Mode requires a single user NetWare licence.

Novell Net Ware 55

Printing the Network Interface Card Conﬁguration Sheet

The printer's conﬁguration page reports information that is required for NetWare conﬁguration. To print a conﬁguration page, while the printer is switched on, depress the push-button on the Network Interface Card for three seconds and then release.

The information that you require is the printer's Ethernet address. The ﬁrst six characters of the Ethernet address are the same for all Network Interfaces. The last six characters of the Ethernet address are unique to each card.

This is all the information that is required to setup the Network Interface for NetWare.

Setup utilitieS

Use NWAdmin32 or the Pconsole utility to create and setup NetWare printer objects. Please refer to Novell documentation for instructions on how to achieve this.

Use the Network Card Setup Utility (Adm inManager) or other printer manager software, (Web browser, etc.) to conﬁgure the network interface card. For instructions please refer to the Conﬁguration Utility section and online help.

Novell Net Ware 56

ipriNt

iPrint is included in NetWare 6 and is Novell's next generation of printing software. It is Novell's implementation of IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). iPrint allows users to install, manage and print to printers through Web browsers regardless of where the printer is physically located or whether they know the printer's network address. iPrint runs on top of Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) and provides the following functionality:

Global access to printers.

Customizable view of any print environment.

Flexible print deployment conﬁgurations.

Secure printing.

The Network Interface does not require any custom conﬁguration for iPrint. To enable and conﬁgure the iPrint service on your network, please refer to your Novell NetWare 6 documentation.

UNIX

OvervIew

The Network Interface supports many protocols such as LPD, FTP, TELNET, SNMP and IPP, and works within the UNIX environment.

To use the network card within the UNIX environment, the following steps are required:

CONfIgUratION

Network Interface card setting

The ﬁrst step in installing the network card under UNIX is to set up the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This section explains one way to set them up from a UNIX workstation.

The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples

only. Network addresses used in your installation must be generated for your own network.

If an incorrect IP address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered,

the network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the address with your network manager.

The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (Solaris 8) as an example. The actual commands may differ between versions of UNIX, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information.

1. Log in as [root] to the workstation

If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should

conduct the conﬁguration.

2. Set the IP address. See the section of "IP Address Setup".

UNIX 58

3. Login to the network interface card using TELNET.

Example: Logging in to IP address

192.168.20.127 #telnet 192.168.20.127 Trying 192.168.20.127 Connected to 192.168.20.127 Escape character is `^]'. EthernetBoard nnnnnnnnn Ver P2.03 TELNET server login: root `root' user needs password to login. password: <CR> User `root' logged in. No. Message Value (level.1)

OperatINg system CONfIgUratION

This section explains how to conﬁgure a printer for major UNIX operating systems.

Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) conﬁguration

The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and a nnnnn printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the conﬁguration method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information.

If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the address with the network manager and conﬁrm that the IP address of the printer has been set.

1. Login as [root] to the workstation.

If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the conﬁguration.

2. Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in the /etc /hosts ﬁle.

Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and host name nnnnn

192.168.20.127 nnnnn

3. Use the ping command to conﬁrm connection with the network card.

Example: for host name nnnnn

# ping nnnnn

UNIX 61

4. Register the printer in the /etc /printcap ﬁle.

Example: for host name nnnnn, to create a queue called nnnnn_lp

nnnnn _ lp: \ :lp=:rm=nnnnn:rp=lp:\ :sd=/usr/spool/nnnnn _ lp:\ :lf=/usr/spool/nnnnn _ lp/nnnnn _ lp _ errs:

Where:

nnnnn _ lp lp:

rm:

rp: sd: lf:

The name of the printer queue

The name of the device used to connec t to the printer. Does not need to be speciﬁed for a remote machine.

The name of the host of the remote printer. This should be the same as the name added to the / etc /hosts ﬁle.

The name of the printer on the remote printer. It should be lp.

The spool directory. Give the absolute path.

The error log ﬁle. Give the absolute path.

5. Create the spool directory and error log ﬁle.

Example: for spool Directory nnnnn_lp and Error Log ﬁle nnnnn_lp_errs

# mkdir /usr/spool/nnnnn _ lp

# touch /usr/spool/nnnnn _ lp/nnnnn _ lp _ errs

# chown -R daemon /usr/spool/nnnnn _ lp

# chgrp -R # daemon /usr/spool/nnnnn _ lp

6. Check that lpd (printer daemon) is activated.

# ps aux | grep lpd

7. If lpd is not running, you can start it by logging in as superuser and executing

# /usr/lib/lpd &

UNIX 62

Sun Solaris 2.x conﬁguration

Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open Windows. However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient and queue have the same name. The procedure below must be used for registering a remote printer.

If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period according to the system speciﬁcations, errors and forced disconnection may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be aborted.

if an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Conﬁgure after consulting the network manager.

The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (known as Solaris 8) and a nnnnn printer as examples. The absolute path and method of conﬁguring commands may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more details.

1. Conﬁrm that the IP address of the printer has been set.

2. Login as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have superuser

rights, the network manager should conduct the conﬁguration.

3. Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in

/etc/hosts ﬁle.

Example: for IP Address 192.168.20.127 and host name nnnnn

192.168.20.127 nnnnn

4. Use the ping command to conﬁrm connection with the network card.

Example: for host name nnnnn

# ping nnnnn

UNIX 63

5. Register the network card as a remote printer server.

Example: for host name nnnnn

a. Stop the print scheduler.

# usr/sbin/lpshut

b. Create the printer queue.

# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p nnnnn _ lp -v /dev/null \

m netstandard -o dest=nnnnn:lp

-o protocol=bsd

c. Set the queue to accept PostScript print jobs.

# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p nnnnn _ lp -I postscript

d. Start the print scheduler.

# /usr/sbin/lpsched

e. Activate the print queue.

# /usr/sbin/accept nnnnn _ lp

f. Enable the print queue3

# /bin/enable nnnnn _ lp

To customise output, for example to add additional commands at the start of each print job, you can edit a copy of the netstandard model ﬁle then add it using the lpadmin command.

Example: for printer nnnnn_lp, with model ﬁle called nnnnn_model

# /usr/sbin/lpshut

# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p nnnnn _ lp -m nnnnn _ model

# /usr/sbin/lpsched

UNIX 64

HP-UX 10.x conﬁguration

If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the address with the network manager.

The following example uses HP-UX10.20 and a nnnnn printer as examples. The absolute path and method of conﬁguring commands may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more details.

1. Conﬁrm that the IP address of the printer has been set. See network interface card IP address conﬁguration for more information.

2. Login as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the conﬁguration.

192.168.20.127 nnnnn

4. Use the ping command to conﬁrm connection with the network card.

Example: for host name nnnnn

# ping nnnnn

5. If remote spooling is not already enabled on the HP-UX machine, carry out the following conﬁguration.

a. Stop the printer spooler.

# /usr/sbin/lpshut

b. Add the following line to the /etc/inetd.conf ﬁle and register

the remote spooler.

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ rlpdameon -I

c. Restart inetd

# /etc/inetd -c

UNIX 65

6. Register the remote printer.

Example: setting up a queue called nnnnn_lp to print to host nnnnn

d. Register the remote printer.

e. Activate the print queue.

# /usr/sbin/accept nnnnn _ lp

f. Enable the print queue.

# /bin/enable nnnnn _ lp

g. Enable the printer spooler.

# /usr/sbin/lpsched

To customise output, for example, to add additional commands at the start of each print job, you can edit a copy of the /usr/spool/lp/model/

rmodel model ﬁle then add it using the lpadmin command.

Example: for printer nnnnn_lp, with model ﬁle called nnnnn_model

# /usr/sbin/lpshut

# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -pnnnnn _ lp -mnnnnn _ model

# /usr/sbin/lpsched

UNIX 66

AIX 4.1.5 conﬁguration

The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and a nnnnn printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of conﬁguring may differ with the OS version. Refer to the workstation's manual. If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur. Conﬁgure after consulting the network manager.

1. Log in as [root]. If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the conﬁguration.

2. Register the IP address and the host name in the /etc/hosts ﬁle.

Example: for IP Address 192.168.29.127 and host name nnnnn

192.168.20.127 nnnnn

3. Use the ping command to conﬁrm connection with the network card.

Example: for host name nnnnn

# ping nnnnn

4. Register the host that was previously registered as the print server.

Example: for the nnnnn registered as the print server

a. Add the print server.

# ruser -a -p nnnnn

b. Activate the remote printer daemon.

# startsrc -s lpd

# mkitab `lpd:2:once:startsrc -s lpd'

5. Add the print queue using the smit command.

a. Activate the

smit command and convert to the item [Add print

queue].

# smit mkrque

b. Select [remote] (the printer connected to the remote host)

from [Type of connection].

c. Select [Standard procedure] from Type of remote print.

UNIX 67

d. Carry out the following settings in [Add a standard remote

print queue]. If the conﬁguration differs from below, conﬁgure according to environment.

Example: for direct output port lp with print queue nnnnn_lp and print server nnnnn

Queue to be added "nnnnn _ lp" Host name of the remote server "nnnnn" Queue name of the remote server "lp" Type of print spooler of the remote server "BSD" Description of printer name of the remote server "Optional comment"

LPD Printing

Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is the most common protocol for printing with TCP/IP to a network printer. Refer to the workstation's manual for details of lpr and lp commands. The following explanation in this section uses the printing of print ﬁle test.prn with printer name nnnnn_lp as an example.

Logical printers

The Network Interface includes three logical printers.

lp must be used for printing a ﬁle created using the printer driver.

sjis must be used for printing a text ﬁle of Shift JIS Kanji code.

euc must be used for the printing a text ﬁle of the EUC Kanji

code.

LOGICAL PRINTER PRINTER FUNCTION

lp For direct output

sjis For Shift JIS Kanji converted output

euc For EUC Kanji converted output

sjis and euc function only as PostScript printers.

UNIX 68

BSD-based UNIX

Print using the lpr command.

# lpr -Pnnnnn _ lp test.prn

If the lprm command is used, the print job is cancelled.

Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 123) on the nnnnn_lp

# lprm -Pnnnnn _ lp 123

Verify the printer status using the lpq command.

The result of lpq may not be displayed correctly depending on UNIX

operating system speciﬁcation.

While the short format of lpq is a UNIX compatible format, the long

format is unique to the Network Interface.

Example of the short format: # lpq -Pnnnnn _ lp

Example of the long format: # lpq -l -Pnnnnn _ lp

System V-based UNIX

Print using the lp command.

# lp -d nnnnn_lp test.prn

Delete a print job using cancel command.

Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 456) in the nnnnn_lp

# cancel nnnnn _ lp -456

Verify the printer status using the lpstat command.

# lpstat -pnnnnn _ lp

The result of lpstat may not be displayed correctly depending on

UNIX operating system speciﬁcation (e.g. Solaris 2.x).

UNIX 69

FTP printing

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring a ﬁle with TCP/IP. If the print data is sent to a logical printer via FTP, it is printed.

Refer to the workstation's manual for details of the ftp command. The following explanation uses print ﬁle test.prn with printer name nnnnn_lp as an example.

Logical directories

The Network Interface includes three logical directories.

lp must be used for printing a ﬁle created using the printer driver.

sjis must be used for printing a text ﬁle of Shift JIS Kanji code.

euc must be used for the printing a text ﬁle of the EUC Kanji code.

LOGICAL DIRECTORY PRINTER FUNCTION

lp For direct output

sjis For Shift JIS Kanji converted output

euc For EUC Kanji converted output

jis and euc function only as PostScript printers.

You can not send data to the root directory.

1. Login to the network interface card.

When printing with ftp, use any values for name and password. However, if the user name is [root], the password set under TELNET or the utility is required. See the appropriate section for details.

Example: Logging in with host name nnnnn (or IP address

192.168.20.127).

# ftp nnnnn (or ftp 192.168.20.127 Connected to nnnnn 220 EthernetBoard nnnnnnnnn Ver P2.03 FTP Server Name (nnnnn:<none>) : root 331 Password required. Password:<CR> 230 User Logged in ftp>

UNIX 70

The network card logical directory structure is hierarchical. Move to the logical directory; it is not possible to output print data to the root directory.

2. Move to the preferable logical directory using the cd command.

Example: moving to the lp directory and conﬁrming the current directory.

ftp> cd /lp 250 Command OK. ftp> pwd 257 "/lp" is current directory ftp>

3. Conﬁgure the transfer mode

There are two types of transfer mode: BINARY mode, in which the ﬁle content is output as it is and ASCII mode, which converts the LF code to the CR+LF code. If a binary ﬁle converted by the printer driver is transferred, the transfer mode has to be BINARY mode.

Example: changing transfer mode to binary mode and verifying the current mode

ftp> type binary 200 Type set to I. ftp> type Using binary mode to transfer ﬁles. ftp>

4. Transfer the print data to the network card using the put command. Two methods of ﬁle transfer using the put command are available.

Example: transferring print data test.prn

ftp> put test.prn

Example: transferring print data speciﬁed by absolute path/users/test/ test.prn

ftp> put /users/test/test.prn /lp

5. Logout from the network card using the quit command

ftp> quit

Three states can be veriﬁed using the quote command stat : the IP address, login user name and transfer mode. In addition, printer status can be veriﬁed by specifying the directory after the stat (lp, sjis, euc).

UNIX 71

Example: displaying network card status

ftp> quote stat 211-FTP server status: Connected to: 192.168.20.10.000.00 User logged in: root Transfer type: BINARY Data connection: Closed. 211 End of status. ftp>

Example: displaying the network card status (directory name: lp)

ftp> quote stat /lp 211-FTP directory status: Ready 211 End of status ftp>
