NDERSTANDING PRINTING OPTIONS
The printer offers many ways to modify printing options. The
Operator Panel provides an interface at the printer. The Embedded
Web Server (EWS) provides remote access via HTML. You can access
features of the printer driver through your application or through
your Printers and Faxes menu (on Windows). When accessing the
driver through your Printers and Faxes Menu, you reach the Printing
Properties window and are setting global options. When accessing
the driver through an application, the Printing Properties entered
apply only to documents printed through the application. Printing
Properties set through an application supersede settings entered in
any other way.
Certain printer settings, such as number of copies, duplexing, and
collating may be set from the Print window provided by your
application. These settings may be used instead of similar settings
accessed via the driver. The settings from your application’s Print
window are reflected in the Printing Properties accessed from the
driver.

MBEDDED WEB SERVER
This printer comes with an embedded web server (EWS). The EWS
resides on the hardware and no installation is required. The EWS can
be used from any remote station via HTTP access. The EWS contains
access to all printer features and presents them as HTML web pages.
The changes made via the EWS change the printer settings in the
same manner as the Operator Panel. To change settings for specific
documents, you should use your Printer Properties options within
the driver.
To access the embedded web server you must be on an IP-based
network and have access to a web browser.
B930n User’s Guide> 15
Page 22
In your web browser, type the IP address assigned to the printer.
For example http://192.0.0.1
NOTE
> If there is a conflict between settings in the Operator
Panel, Printing Preferences, or Embedded Web Server and
printer settings set via your application, the application
settings supersede any other setting.
The EWS interface consists of a left-navigation area and a display
area. Use the left-navigation area to locate the desired items and
make any configuration changes in the display area. The items
available vary depending on your user login permissions. The default
administrator login is “root” and the password is the last four digits
of the printer’s MAC address. Be sure to change this password after
the first administrative login.
NOTE
> The username and password are case sensitive.

EDIA CHECK
By default the printer selects the input source based on the paper
size requested. If the paper size requested is not loaded in any input
tray, the printer feeds from the default input tray. Media Type is not
a factor in the printer selection of the input tray. When Media check
is enabled, the printer first checks the default input source to see if
it has media loaded that matches both the driver requested media
type and paper size. If the default input tray does not contain the
requested media, the printer searches the other input trays to find
one that has media matching the requirements. If none is found, the
printer stops and asks you to load the requested media in the default
input tray. You can acknowledge this by pressing Start whether the
correct media is in place or not. Or you can put the correct media in
a tray and then use the Operator Panel to set the media type for that
tray. If it is Tray MPF or the size is not auto detectable, you can also
set the paper size. Otherwise, the printer can auto detect the paper
size.

• The EtherTalk port setting in this printer is disabled by
default. To use this port, enable the setting on the
Operator Panel.
CONFIGURATION
The B930 is a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network capable printer.
It supports major protocols such as TCP/IP and Ethertalk. This
section details configuring the printer's network interface and should
be done prior to configuring your computer.
IP ADDRESS
The factory configuration is for the printer to obtain an IP address
automatically from your networks’ DHCP server. Use the printers’
Operator Panel to determine the printers’ address.
If the DHCP server is not available or not in use, use one of the
following methods to retrieve and set the IP address.
• Set the IP address manually from the Operator panel or EWS
Important:
• Depending on the network environment, you may need to set
the subnet mask and gateway address.
• Please check with your network administrator if you have any
questions concerning your network environment.
PRINTER SETUP USING THE EWS
If the printer is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its settings
can be configured using the EWS.
To apply configuration changes using a Web browser, select the
Administrator Login. You will be prompted for a username and
password. The username is [root] and the default password is the
last six digits of the Ethernet MAC address. The MAC address can be
found on the Network Summary page. Note that the password is
case sensitive and letters should be entered in upper case.
The following explanation uses Windows XP and Internet Explorer
version 6.0 as an example to manually set the printers IP address.

entered into the browsers’ address.
Most of the printers’ configuration can be done through the browser
including setting the administrator password.
PRINTING FROM A WINDOWS COMPUTER
OVERVIEW
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.
B930n User’s Guide> 71
Page 78
The network printer supports TCP/IP protocol that can be used in
conjunction with the Windows operating system.
LPD or Port 9100 (TCP/IP)
Once the printer registered on the Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/
Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 computer is shared, you can also
print from Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me computers
through this printer.
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:
WINDOWS VERSION METHOD

2. 2. Registering a printer (printer name: P002) supporting the
PostScript language that feeds paper from an A4-size paper
tray for duplex printing
#lpadmin -p P002 -s printer1\!PS A4_DUP
B930n User’s Guide> 84
Page 91
3. Registering a logical PostScript printer PS01 set using the
EWS.
#lpadmin -p P003 -s printer1\!PS01
NOTE
> Enter the host name and printer name of the remote host
after -s by linking with !. The printer name corresponds to
the print language/mode.
> The output style may be specified at the same time. The
parameters for specifying a style are the same as those
available for the -C option. As the example of (2) shows,
insert "_" between the printer name and output
parameters. You can enter up to 14 characters.
> If PS%n or PLT%nH is specified for the printer name as in
the example of (3), however, the printer does not operate
normally with an output style different from the preset
one.
> Set a printer name corresponding to the print language/
mode and output style.
Refer to:
• Manuals, such as online manuals, that came with various
workstations.
PRINT (LP)
The "lp" command is used for printing.
C
OMMAND FORMAT
lp [-d Printer name] [-n No. of copies] File name
C
OMMAND OPTIONS
The following command options are available:
-d Printer name
Specify the printer name registered by the "lpadmin" command as
the -d option. If this option is omitted, the default printer lp will be
specified.
B930n User’s Guide> 85
Page 92
-n No. of copies
This option specifies the number of copies. If one "lp" command is
issued to print multiple files, the number of copies specified by this
option will apply to all the files.
However, this option is effective when the printer is in the spool
mode. In the non-spool mode, the client must be a Windows NT
machine to use this option.
Precautions
• Among options not listed above (e.g. -m option), those not
processed by the workstation which sends the print
instructions will not be effective.
In the spool mode, up to 32 files can be printed by one "lp"
command. Files that come after the 32nd files will be ignored.
Sample
To print a file named "file1" to a printer set up as "P001", enter the
following command:
%lp -d P001 file1
To output three copies of "file1" and "file2" to "P001", enter the
following:
$lp -d P001 -n3 file1 file2
DELETE (CANCEL)
This cancel command is used to delete print data which has been
sent to print.

OMMAND OPTIONS
The following command options are available:
B930n User’s Guide> 86
Page 93
Printer name
This option specifies the printer name. The "cancel" command can
be effectively used with the combined use of -a, -e and -u as shown
below. This option is invalid in the non-spool mode.
-a
Deletes all the print data, sent by a user who issues this command,
from the data which has been received by a specified printer.
-e
Deletes all the print data received by a specified printer.
-u user name
Deletes all the print data sent by a specified user and received by a
specified printer.
JOB NUMBER
This option specifies the job number of the print data to be deleted.
These numbers can be checked by issuing a "lpstat" command.
This option is invalid in the non-spool mode.
Precautions
• Print data that consists of multiple files sent in one print
instruction cannot be deleted file by file. All the files will be
deleted at one go.
• This command will become invalid if it is executed without
options having been specified or if there is no print data
which matches the option.
• A workstation can only delete print data it has sent. It cannot
delete print data sent by other workstations.
• When a command to delete print data is received, the file
concerned will be deleted even if it is in the process of being
printed. Only the print data available prior to file deletion will
be printed.
