Unable to Print
If your OkiLAN 6100e+ passes self-test and you are unable
to print a configuration sheet or are unable to send data to
the printer via the OkiLAN 6100e+, check the following:
• Printer configuration
• Printer hardware/port enabled
• Computer network adapter cards
• Cabling and/or connectors
• Application software configuration
Error Messages
If you receive the following message from within the
software:
ST: Cable not connected
Self-test has determined the network cable is not connected.
Check the cable connection to the OkiLAN 6100e+.
If you find the cable is connected and you are still receiving
this message or any other ÒST:Ó error message, power the
printer/print server off and on. If the error continues,
connect the OkiLAN 6100e+ to a network connection that is
functioning correctly (for example: a connection that a
currently operating PC is on). If the error still continues, call
Okidata Customer Support:
Within about 10 seconds of initialization, the status lights
should indicate that the printer port and network connections
have been established. If the status lights remain off, call
Okidata Customer Support.
After initialization, press the TEST button on the back panel
of the OkiLAN 6100e+. If a configuration page prints, then
the printer and OkiLAN are operational: any problems you
experience are probably caused by the network or network
connection.

Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
Chapter 1
Single Network Management
Protocol (SNMP)
Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
provides network administrators with the ability to
communicate management functions between an SNMP
manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a
user program the network administrator can use to
manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get
information from the agent or alter Set information on
the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited
message Trap to a manager when it encounters an
unusual condition.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ is a fully functional SNMP agent
and supports any standard SNMP management
platform, including:
• HP OpenView
• Novell NMS
• Sun SunNet Manager
• IBM NetView
Advanced Management
Private MIB
OkiLAN 6100e+ SNMP support has been enhanced
with a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over
TCP/IP and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150
configuration and status variables for the network
protocols, printer ports, network interfaceprinter
settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6100e+ status. Printer
status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer
and printer error are also provided.
The setting of certain variables causes an immediate
firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private
MIB under cmdReset.
OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide
II - 3
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job
may not print successfully .
Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a
fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN
6100e+. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN
6100e+ but are not actually used until it is power
cycled or is reset. When any one of these variables is
changed the variable genConfigDirty is automatically
set to yes by the print server. This signifies a reset is
required for all configuration changes to be made
active. We recommend checking the genConfigDirty
variable after using a MIB browser to make any
configuration changes to the OkiLAN 6100e+. If
genConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset
variable should also be set to yes. This will cause the
OkiLAN 6100e+ to reset, make all configuration
changes active on the OkiLAN 6100e+ and set both the
cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no. These
critical variables are listed in the private MIB under
genConfigDirty.
T raps
Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP
agent. The OkiLAN 6100e+ uses a ColdStart trap to
inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An
authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN
6100e+ receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request
with an incorrect community name.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ sends printer traps when there is
a change in the status of the printer. If the Printer goes
off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the
administrator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6100e+
traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the
OkiLAN 6100e+ can send traps on toner low, paper
jam, and printer cover open. The traps may be
configured for specific destination addresses and can
be configured for a particular printer port and/or printer
trap.

OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN
6100e+ must have bi-directional status enabled (it is
disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled
through the OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility
(telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also
enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX
from the Output Port file tab.
Security
SNMP implements a simple security system known as
community names. Each SNMP message has a
community name associated with the command in the
message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get
community name and a Trap community name. When
the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the
community name of the message with the community
name of the device. If the community names do not
match, the Agent discards the message and sends an
authentication failure trap.
Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the
OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility (telnet) allow
you to specify the community names and a trap
destination IP address.

Troubleshooting
Server Connection
• The print server only supports two simultaneous
HTTP connections. If your browser fails to connect
to the print server, the browser may be trying to open
more than two connections. Please refer to your
browser’s Help files for information on changing the
connection settings. Both Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Explorer for the Macintosh and Power PC
will sometimes display a failure to connect message
after being configured for only two connections.
Should this occur, select OK to bypass the error
message. The menu page will still be displayed and
configuration can be completed.
• Quickly refreshing a page within some browsers can
cause the browser to leave active connections open
with the server called a hung connection. This will
use up one of the HTTP connections, can cause
problems connecting to the server and will slow
down Web response time. If TCP timeout checking
is enabled under TCP/IP configuration, the hung
connection will timeout after the timeout period has
expired.
Login
• If you forget the administrator password, restoring
the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults from any
other configuration utility restores the Web admin
name and password to default values.
Configuration
• Web browsers will generally cache previously
viewed Web pages on the local machine. To view the
most current print server information, it is a good
idea to select the Reload or Refresh buttons on your
browser instead of using the Back button.

your choice.
NDS Settings
NDS settings need to first be created and setup using
the NWAdmin or PConsole utility. Create an NDS print
server object. Then, create one NDS printer object per
output port. For example, Printer 1 goes to Port 1,
Printer 2 goes to port 2. Attach NDS print queues to the

OkiNet for NDS
Overview
OkiNet for NDS is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
which allows users to create and manage OKI print
server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS
integrates into Novell’s NetWare Administrator, a
Windows-based utility that allows users to view and
manage their NetWare 4.x NDS tree. Once OkiNet for
NDS is integrated into NetWare Administrator, users
can manage OKI devices with the same utility used to
manage other network objects such as printers and
queues.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ supports NetWare NDS using
Novell Embedded Systems Technology , also known as
NEST .
OkiNet for NDS can be installed to support Novell
NetWare version 4.1 or 4.11 and for operating systems
running Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98 and/or Windows
NT/2000. If you have multiple versions of Windows
operating systems to service, you can install OkiNet for
NDS for each.
OkiNet for NDS supports four different versions of
NWAdmin.
• OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare version 4.1
(one version of NWAdmin) requires a single
installation which will work for all platforms
including Windows 3.x. Windows 95/98 and/or
Windows NT/2000.
• The OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare
version 4.11 requires a separate installation for each
of the three platforms: Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98
and/or W indows NT/2000 (three separate versions of

Introduction
Overview
This section contains instructions and information on
how to configure your OkiLAN 6100e+. You will also be
instructed on how to set up your host computers to print
to the OkiLAN 6100e+ using the TCP/IP protocol.
OkiLAN 6100e+ supports three TCP/IP methods for
printing:
• Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port
Printing)
Software Requirements
The OkiLAN 6100e+ may be configured for TCP/IP
using the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility, or from a computer
supporting the OkiNet for NetWare utility, Banyan
VINES OkiNet for VINES utility, OR telnet and one of
the following:
• Manual arp table entry and ping
• Static route entry using route add command
• DHCP
• RARP
• BOOTP

Section 4 - Chapter 1 - Introduction
Network Preparation
• You should be familiar with network administration
as well as the physical setup and operation of your
network.
• Advise users of possible disruption during
installation.
• Make sure the serial number and Ethernet address of
your OkiLAN 6100e+ are available.
• Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the
OkiLAN 6100e+.
Use the network name service or the “/etc/hosts” file
to add the OkiLAN 6100e+ to the network.
Before You Start
Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the
following:
• Install the OkiLAN 6100e+ hardware and connect the
cabling. Instructions for hardware installation are
found in Section I of this manual.
• Write down the serial number and Ethernet address
of your OkiLAN 6100e+. (These numbers are located
on the OkiLAN 6100e+ board.)
• Install OkiNet for TCP/IP-see Section I.
Overview of TCP/IP Configuration
• Assign an IP address for the OkiLAN 6100e+
• Configure the OkiLAN 6100e+ network information
• Configure hosts for printing to the OkiLAN 6100e+
• T est print (optional)

Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+
Choosing an IP Address
Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a
unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently
stored using one of the following:
• OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP, Novell
NetWare or Banyan VINES
• OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility via telnet.
Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to
assign an IP address.
Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6100e+ first
attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid
green) using DHCP, RARP , BOOTP or Gleaning. If the
OkiLAN 6100e+ has not resolved its IP address after 2
minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP
address should be used only temporarily for
configuration purposes.)
To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the OkiLAN
6100e+.
Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6100e_name
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts” file
of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6100e+. Or,
if your network uses a name service, add the host
name and IP address to the name server.
Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information
Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/
etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation
for instructions.

Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+
There are four utilities available to configure the
OkiLAN 6100e+ for TCP/IP printing. You may use
whichever utility is best suited for your needs.
• OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print
manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for
more information.
• OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration Utility - This utility is
accessed via telnet. See Chapter 5 of this section for
more information.
In order to configure the OkiLAN 6100e+ via telnet,
you must first assign an IP address to the OkiLAN
6100e+ and verify communication by pinging the
device.
• OkiNet for NetW are - This windows utility must be
run from a Novell NetWare client. See Section III of
this manual for specific information.
• OkiNet for VINES (VPMAN) Utility - This
Windows utility must be run from a Banyan VINES
client. See Section V, for specific information.
Assigning the IP Address
There are eight different methods for assigning an IP
address to the OkiLAN 6100e+: Gleaning, Static Route
Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet or
OkiNet for VINES utilities. Gleaning, Static Route
Entry and RARP require the OkiLAN 6100e+ and the
host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also
have this restriction unless the network routers are
configured to pass these requests. The OkiNet and
OkiNet for VINES utilities do not have this restriction.
Gleaning
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned
when the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered on or reset, it will
look for a ping packet on the network. If the
OkiLAN 6100e+ receives a ping packet within two
minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet
as its own address.
IV - 8
OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e
T o use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95/98,
Windows NT/2000, or super-user privileges on a UNIX
system.
1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP
address to the hardware address of the OkiLAN
6100e+. T o do this, use the arp command.
arp -s <ip_address><hardware_address> temp
UNIX Example:
arp -s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp
Windows 95/98, W indows NT/2000 Example:
arp -s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01
2. Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN 6100e+.
ping <ip_address>
Example: ping 192.168.42.24
On some systems, this may require an additional
parameter. Some implementations of ping only send
out one ping packet which could get lost in transit.
Check your system documentation for more
information.
3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6100e+.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ will glean its IP address from
the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect
until the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered off or reset.
Therefore, a permanent IP address should be
assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or
via telnet.
Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT
Workstation 3.5.

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
provides a framework for passing configuration
information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/
server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap
Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic
allocation of reusable network addresses and additional
configuration options. DHCP uses the same packet
structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents
will also interact with DHCP messages.
DHCP offers dynamic IP address allocation. When a
client receives an IP address, it also receives a lease (an
amount of time the host may use the address). The
lease times vary from 1 hour to 100 years, or may be
infinite. When the lease expires, the host must stop
using the address. DHCP may also be used like
BOOTP, with a certain IP address always assigned to a
certain device. Depending on the server, both methods
may be used at the same time.
If the OkiLAN 6100e+ does not find a DHCP server
after two minutes, it will timeout and assume a default
address of 198.102.102.254. This follows current
BOOTP and RARP behavior.
If the OkiLAN 6100e+ receives multiple responses, it
will choose the first one.
When the OkiLAN 6100e+ receives an address, it sends
an ARP message once every second for five seconds on
the offered address to determine if another device is
using it. If the OkiLAN 6100e+ finds another device is
using the address, it will refuse the address and start
looking for a new address.

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e
Static Route Entry
When the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered on or reset and
no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will
attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning,
RARP , BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6100e+ has not
determined its IP address after two minutes, the IP
address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP
address should only be used temporarily to configure a
new, permanent IP address. To change to a permanent
IP address, the route add command is used to place the
OkiLAN 6100e+ product’ s default IP address into the
workstation’s network routing table. To use the route
command, you must have Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000
or super-user privileges under UNIX. The syntax for
this command is:
route add 198.102.102.254 “IP address of the
workstation” 0
Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route add
command shown above is optional.
The Static Route method only works if the host from
which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the
OkiLAN 6100e+. Once the route add command has been
issued, telnet will allow you to change and/or make the
IP address permanent. After changing the IP address to
its permanent address, the routing table entry should be
deleted using route delete.
For more information, consult your system
documentation for the route command.
RARP or BOOTP
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned, the
OkiLAN 6100e+ will use Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol (RARP) or Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The
OkiLAN 6100e+ will broadcast requests for its IP
address to both RARP and BOOTP servers. A RARP or
BOOTP server will respond by searching a
configuration file that maps the Ethernet hardware
addresses of devices on the network to their respective
OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide
IV - 11
TCP/IP
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e
IP addresses. If a match is found, the server’s response
will include the IP address of the device.
Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP
or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your
operating system supports, request the manual page for
the protocol’s daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd),
or see your network manuals. Both protocols require
that you add the product’s network hardware address
and IP address to a configuration file. See your network
documentation for instructions or refer to Appendix B,
Application Considerations.
Note: An IP address received from a RARP or
BOOTP server is not permanently programmed
into the OkiLAN 6100e+. Therefore, if you
choose this method of assigning the IP address,
the RARP or BOOTP server must be available
every time the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered on
or reset. The IP address can be stored
permanently using telnet, OkiNet for TCP/IP,
OkiNet for NetWare or the OkiNet for VINES
utility .
A Winsock compliant BOOTP server is located on the
OkiNet for TCP/IP diskette. This has been provided for
users who do not have UNIX machines.
Other Utilities
The IP address can also be set from Novell NetWare
using the OkiNet for NetWare utility or through the
Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES utility.
Note: The OkiNet for NetWare and OkiNet for
VINES utilities can only be used if Novell
NetWare or Banyan VINES are installed on
your network respectively.

OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
Configuring for TCP/IP Network
Printing
Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing
use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol.
This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley
Software Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX
operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as
a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now
supported by most versions of the UNIX operating
system and by many TCP/IP packages available for
other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD
printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP.
You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for
printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between
computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6100e+
simply prints the files it receives from FTP.
Remote Print Queue Name
The Remote Print Queue Name determines which
printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print
Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print
jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for
specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ looks at the last character of the
Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer
port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue
Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4. If a
number is not specified, the OkiLAN 6100e+ will use
printer port 1.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ is designed to handle many
different types of printers and print data. Typically you
will select the printer type for your printer in telnet
under the Configure Port option. However, if you are
connecting to an ASCII printer, you may wish to use
the OkiLAN 6100e+ to format the print data for your
printer.
TCP/IP
OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide
IV - 15
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
The OkiLAN 6100e+ will parse the remote queue name
and search for certain characters at the end which tell
how to convert an ASCII print job. The print server
uses FF, LF and NF as ASCII conversion specifiers and
uses the last number as an output port. The FF, LF and
NF specifiers must be the last letters in the queue name.
Example: LaserWriterFF, SalesColorLaserNF,
ChemDeptLF2
FF Use the FF suffix at the end of the Remote Print
Queue Name, before the port number.
Example: queueFF2
If the last character in the print job is not a form
feed, the OkiLAN 6100e+ appends a form feed.
This form feed prompts the printer to print any
partial page at the end of the job.
LF Use the LF suffix at the end of the Remote Print
Queue Name, before the port number.
Example: queueLF2
In addition to the form feed described above,
the OkiLAN 6100e+ inserts a carriage-return
character into the print job immediately before
each line-feed character. This feature is useful
for printing UNIX text files.
NF Use the NF suffix at the end of the Remote Print
Queue Name, before the port number.
Example: queueNF2
The OkiLAN 6100e+ inserts a carriage-return
character into the print job immediately before
each line-feed character. This feature is useful
for printing UNIX text files.
This option differs from LF in that form feed is
not added to the end of jobs.

Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue
For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN
6100e+ as a remote printer in the “/etc/printcap”
database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6100e+.
You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are
unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local
documentation.
The entry should be similar to the following:
local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_
manufacturer]:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN
6100e_name:\:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\
:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just
log_file_name
local_print_queue_name
The local_print_queue_name defines the name of the
printcap entry . It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to
specify which printcap entry is being referenced.
Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for
different queue types. Each entry must have a unique
local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory
to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the
local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of
the file to be printed.
OkiLAN 6100e_name
This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6100e+. This
must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file
or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be
used here.
remote_print_queue_name
The remote_print_queue_name entry determines the
OkiLAN 6100e+ port where the print job will be printed
and optionally specifies ASCII printing.
path_to_spool_directory
This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will
be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique
spool directory for each printcap entry.

Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that
requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two
separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which
terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and
another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a
line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the
following:

Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool
directory to work properly.
Remote LPD Printing
The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system
varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX
systems that are BSD-based typically use the lpr
program to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may
use the lp program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/
IP packages often provide a command line lpr program
and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a
Remote LPD system.
Consult your system administrator or software vendor
for assistance troubleshooting LPD.

Note: The Remote LPD implementation of the
OkiLAN 6100e+ does not support any UNIX
LPD input or output filters or the direct
printing of banner pages. It is possible to
configure some UNIX systems so that banner
pages and input and output filters will be
generated at the UNIX host and then sent to the
OkiLAN 6100e+. (Refer to Appendix B,
Application Considerations.)
FTP Printing
FTP is a command line program used to transfer files
between computers. FTP provides commands for
opening a connection to another computer, specifying
the data type of any transfers, and sending and
receiving files. The OkiLAN 6100e+ supports a subset
of the FTP command set. This subset allows the FTP
user to open a connection to the OkiLAN 6100e+,
specify a file transfer data type and send print files to a
Remote Print Queue Name on the OkiLAN 6100e+.
The OkiLAN 6100e+ recognizes the following FTP
commands:
PUT Print a single file
The PUT command sends the file to
the OkiLAN 6100e+. The first
parameter of the PUT command is the
name of the local file to PUT. The
second parameter of the PUT
command is the name of the file for the
remote PC. In order to print the file,
this second parameter must be a
Remote Print Queue Name. If you do
not specify the second parameter, FTP
sets the remote file name to the local
file name. This may produce
undesirable printing results.
SEND Treated the same as PUT.
MPUT Print multiple files.

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
TYPE Changes the representation type used
for data transfer. Image (or binary) and
ASCII are the only types supported.
ASCII Equivalent to “TYPE ASCII”.
BINARY Equivalent to “TYPE BINAR Y”.
IMAGE Equivalent to “TYPE IMAGE”.
STRU Specifies file structure. File is the only
structure supported.
MODE Specifies transfer mode. Stream is the
only transfer mode supported.
OPEN Opens connection to remote host.
CLOSE Terminates FTP session.
QUIT Terminates FTP session and exits FTP.
BYE Equivalent to QUIT.
With the exception of the OkiLAN 6100e+ 100 series,
OkiLAN 6100e+ print servers will allow one FTP
connection. If more FTP connections are attempted, the
OkiLAN 6100e+ will reject the connection until one of
the other FTP connections is closed. When an FTP
connection is rejected, the FTP program will typically
display a message like the following:
$ ftp<CR>
ftp> open OkiLAN 6100e_name<CR>
connection refused
ftp>

Note: Specifying binary mode is important for all
jobs. Most FTP implementations default to
ASCII mode. This may cause unexpected or
undesired printing results.

Timeout Checking
If timeout checking is enabled on the OkiLAN 6100e+,
the OkiLAN 6100e+ will close any connection that stays
idle for more than five minutes. For example, if you
open an FTP connection to the OkiLAN 6100e+ and
walk away from your computer for more than five
minutes, the FTP connection will be closed. You can
reestablish a connection to the OkiLAN 6100e+ with the
OPEN command.

Raw Port Printing
Host computer software can use a raw TCP/IP port
connection to send data to the OkiLAN 6100e+. A TCP/
IP port has been assigned to the output port of the
OkiLAN 6100e+ as follows:
TCP/IP Port: 9100
Output Port: 1
Consult your system documentation for information on
how to submit print jobs to a raw port.
