ETWORK CONFIGURATION

NTRODUCTION

Your machine incorporates a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface. This guide explains the functionality of the built in network interface. Access for interconnection and producing self-diagnostic test and configuration printouts is provided via an interface panel at the rear of the machine.

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

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

This guide details the network interface specification and several software utilities. You should set the emulation in the Print Setup menu to Auto or PS before printing the self-

diagnostic test and settings.

NOTE Not all utilities, features or protocols are supported by every operating system. Please check with your User’s Guide and support website for latest information.

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 setup 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 with in Wi nd ows .

The network printer supports TCP/IP protocols that can be used in conjunction with the Windows operating system,

NOTE Not all utilities, features or protocols are supported by every operating system. Please check with your User’s Guide and support website for latest information.

NSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER

There are two ways to set up a Network Printer:

> Install automatically, using the Oki Driver Installer > Install it yourself using the Add Printer Wizard

SING THE OKI DRIVER INSTALLER

The Oki Driver Installer program searches for compatible printers on the Network, then installs and configures the printer drivers with the correct port settings automatically.

Using the Oki Driver Installer program, you can install to the following connected printer types:

1. Locally connected printers

> USB port > Parallel port

2. Networked printers

> Directly connected (peer-to-peer) printers via TCP/IP. The Microsoft standard

TCP/IP is installed and configured to use Port 9100 with the printer’s IP address.

> Printers not directly connected, bu t s hared via a PC (Client Server)

Why use the Driver Installer?

> Automatically discovers printers on the Network (TCP/IP) > Installs driver and correctly assigns the appropriate port and IP address > Allows easy configuration and sharing of the printer with other Network users > Automatically configures the printer driver with the appropriate hardware device

options such as hard disc drive, duplex unit, etc. (via the Oki Network Extension software)

About the differ e nt methods

Windows Rally

Windows Rally is an automated “Plug-n-Play” type utilit y that allows users t o discover and configure network devices effortlessly.

Windows standard TCP/IP port

The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers using the TCP/IP protocol. A computer that acts as a print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to print.

Can be configured to use either LPR or RAW (e.g. Port9100).

OkiLPR

Used to connect your printer over TCP/IP using an LPR port. OkiLPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS and PRN files direct ly to your

printer and automatically redirect jobs to other printers on the network.

IPP

The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing print jobs, media, resolution, etc.

NetBEUI

NetBEUI (NetBios Extend ed User Interface) is a protocol that was designed for use in small workgroups or LANs. Within Windows NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but it does have limitations, and i s not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small business or home networks.

Microsoft windows > 39

ONFIGURING THE NETWORK PRINTER

ADDRESS

Use the Standard Set-up Utility to configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.

NOTE It will not be necessary for printers connected to a network using DCHP to use this setup method.

Some steps may not display depending on the network protocols installed.

1. Connect the machine to the network and turn on.

2. Insert the DVD-ROM into the DVD-R OM driv e. The Setup Utilit y starts automatically.

If it does not start, double-c l ic k \setup.exe (in the root directory) on the DVDROM.

3. Select the appropriate language.

4. Select your printer model.

5. If you agree to the Software Licence Agreement, click I Agree.

6. Select Device Configuration.

Microsoft windows > 40

The Ethernet address of the printer can be found on the self-diagnostic printout, which can be printed by pressing the push-button on the network card panel for more than three seconds and then releasing it. See “Self-diagnostic test” on page 7.

Using TCP/IP protocol

When using lpr in UNIX and other TCP/IP environments, please select Yes. To use in a TCP/IP environment, an IP address should be assigned to the Ethernet card.

If Yes has been selected and TCP/IP is the only working protocol and the IP address has not already been assigned, you can either obtain an IP address automatically or assign an IP address.

When Obtain an IP address automatically is selected, the device IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP se rver. In an environment without a DHCP server, please assign the IP address manually.

If you are manually assigning an IP address, you need to enter:

> An IP address > Subnet mask > Gateway address.

11. Click Next. Using Bonjour protocol

Bonjour is the preferred protocol for printing data from the Macintosh environment.

Using NetBEUI protocol

Using NetBEUI makes it easy to manage your Oki product and print within the network environment of Windows.

12. When the settings are correct, click Execute. The new settings are transmitted to the network card but it still operates with pre-transmission settings.

13. Click Finish to validate the new settings.

14. Switch the printer off for 15 seconds and on again.

Now that both Windows and the printer have been configured to use TC P/IP, the next step is to configure Windows to print to the network printer.

NINSTALLING THE NETWORK CARD SETUP UTILITY

To uninstall the Network Card Setup utility:

1. Select Start > Control Panel.

2. Select Add or Remove Programs.

VERVIEW

The printer 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:

ONFIGURATION

ETWORK 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.

> Log in as root to change the configuration of the printer. > 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.

NOTE If you do not have superuser rights, the network manger should conduct the configuration.

1. Log in as root to the workstation.

2. If the printer does not have an IP address already assigned, use the arp command t o

set a temporary IP address.

Example: for IP address 192.68.20.127 and network card address 00:80:87:01:00:D2

# arp –s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2

3. Use the ping command to confirm the connection with the network interface 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 already been set manually or dynamically), or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set a temporary IP address.

If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager.

4. 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 ‘^’. myprn TELNET server (Ver 01.01). login: root ‘root’ user needs password to login. password: User ‘root’ logged in. No. MENU (level.1) 1 : Status / Information 2 : Device Config 3 : Network Config 4 : Security Config 5 : Maintenance 99 : Exit setup Please select (1- 99)?

5. Type 1 and press the Enter key. Perform the following settings:

Please select (1- 99)? 1 No. MENU (level.2) 1 : Device 2 : Network 3 : Version 99 : Back to prior menu Please select (1- 99)?

6. Logout from the network interface card. Turn the printer off for about 15 seconds and on again to validate the settings.

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 myprn_lp as an example.

UNIX > 53

Logical printers

The printer’s 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.

BSD-based UNIX

Print using the lpr command.

# lpr myprn_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 myprn_lp

# lprm myprn_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.

# lpq myprn_lp

System V-based UNIX

Print using the lp command.

# lp –d myprn_lp_lp test.prn

Delete a print job using cancel command.

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

# cancel myprn_lp -456

Verify the printer status using the lpstat command.

# lpstat

The result of lpstat may not be displayed correctly depending on UNIX operating system specification (e.g. Solaris 2.x).

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 myprn_lp as an example.

UNIX > 54

OGICAL DIRECTORIES

The printer’s network interface includes three logical directories.

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. Log in 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 myprn (or IP address 192.168.20.127).

# ftp myprn (or ftp 192.168.20.127) Connected to myprn 220 EthernetBoard 8100e Ver 01.50 FTP Server Name (myprn:<none>) : root 331 Password required. Password:<CR> 230 User Logged in ftp>

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>

UNIX > 55

4. Transfer the print data to the network card us ing the put c ommand. 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

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).

Example: Displaying network card st at us

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>

TCP/IP

OMPUTER CANNOT FIND THE NETWORK INTERFACE CARD

Carry out the following procedures to veri fy the printer settings:

> Turn the printer off for 15 seconds and then on again. > Confirm the network interface is enabled on the printer. > Check there is a response to the PING command. > Check that the network cable is correctly connected and that the green LED close to

the printer’s network interface is lit. If not, change the cable and try again.

> Run the Self-diagnostic test as described on page 7. > Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway are correct. > Check that the TCP/IP protocol is set to Enable. > Reset the network interface card to factory default settings. > If DHCP, BOOTP and RARP are not used, ensure they have been set to Disable.

ANNOT PRINT WITH LPR AND FTP

> Turn the printer off for 15 seconds and then on again. > Check there is a response to the ping command. > Check the network cable is correctly connected. > Change the cable and try again. > Check the host name and IP address are configured in the workstation. > Check the printer port name is configured in the workstation. > There are three port names: lp, euc and sjis. Use lp by default as euc and sjis are

specific to PostScript printers.
