Your printer incoporates a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface. This Network
Guide explains the functionality of the LAN7120E3 (Network Interface Card). Access for
interconnection and producing self-diagnostic test and configuration printouts is provided
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.
The interface card also supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX (NetWare) and
NetBEUI.
This section details the network interface specification and several software utilities.
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.

About the differ e nt methods
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).
Oki LPR
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.
C
ONFIGURING THE NETWORK PRINTER
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 DHCP to
use this setup method.
> Some steps may not display depending on the network protocols installed.
1.Ensure that the printer is switched ON and connected to the network.

click Next.
The Ethernet address (MAC Address) is displ ayed on the configuration map, refer t o
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 server. In an environment without a DHCP
server, assign the IP address manually.
If you are manually assigning an IP address, you need to enter:
> An IP address
> Submit mask
> Gateway address
NOTE
If you use the NetWare protocol, consult your network manager to ensure that
the NetWare file server is properly installed and working on the network. Make
sure that NetWare Client32 or IntranetWare Client is installed on your
computer.

ONFIGURATION
Network interface card s e ttin g
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.
NOTE
> 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.
> Login as root to change the configuration of the NIC.
> 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 manager should conduct the
configuration.
1.Log in as root to the workstation
2.If the NIC does not have an IP address already assigned, use the arp command to
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 temp
The Ethernet (MAC) address 00:80:87:01:00:D2 in the above example can be
determined from the network card self-diagnostic test.
3.Use the ping command to confirm the connection with the card.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127
UNIX > 47
# ping 192.168.20.127
NOTE
> 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 card, consult your network
manager.
4.Login to the network interface card using TELNET.

PERATING 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 an ML57xx 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 myprn
192.168.20.127 myprn
3.Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card.
Example: for host name myprn
# ping myprn
If there is no reply, then 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 their defaults and then try to set a
temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the card, consult
your network manager.
4.Register the printer in the /etc/printcap file.
Example: for host name myprn, to create a queue called myprn_lp
myprn_lp: \
:lp=:rm=myprn:rp=lp:\
:sd=/usr/spool/myprn_lp:\
:lf=/usr/spool/myprn_lp/myprn_lp_errs:
myprn_lpThe name of the printer queue
UNIX > 49
lp: The name of the device used to connect to the printer. Does not need to be
specified for a remote machine.
rm: The name of the host of the remote printer. This should be the same as the name
added to the /etc/hosts file.
rp: The name of the printer on the remote printer. It should be lp.
sd: The spool directory. Give the absolute path.
lf: The error log file. Give the absolute path.
5.Create the spool directory and error log file.
Example: for spool Directory myprn and Error Log file myprn_lp_errs
# mkdir /usr/spool/myprn_lp
# touch /usr/spool/myprn_lp/myprn_lp_errs
# chown –R daemon /usr/spool/myprn_lp
# chgrp –R # daemon /usr/spool/myprn_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 &
Sun Solaris 2.8 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 Sun Solaris 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, offline 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 (better known as Solaris 8) and an ML57xx
printer as examples. The absolute path and method of configuring commands may differ
between OS versions. Refer to the workstation manuals for more details.
The queue created in the following example sends the print job directly to the printer. To
print data that the printer cannot process (such as PostScript data), refer to the workstation
manual for 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 , th e net w ork
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 myprn
192.168.20.127 myprn
4.Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network card.
Example: for host name myprn
# ping myprn
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.

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.
Logical printers
The NIC 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 PRINTERPRINTER FUNCTION
lpFor direct output
sjisFor Shift JIS Kanji converted output
eucFor EUC Kanji converted output
>sjis and euc function only as PostScript printers.
BSD-based UNIX
Print using the lpr command.
# lpr –Pmyprn_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 –Pmyprn_lp 123
Verify the printer status using the lpq command.
NOTE
> 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 NIC.
Example of the short format: # lpq –Pmyprn_lp
Example of the long format: # lpq –l -Pmyprn_lp
UNIX > 53
System V-based UNIX
Print using the lp command.
# lp –d myprn_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 –pmyprn_lp
NOTE
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.
Logical directories
The NIC 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
lpFor direct output
sjisFor Shift JIS Kanji converted output
eucFor EUC Kanji converted output
NOTE
> 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.
PRINTER FUNCTION
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 LAN7120E3 Ver 01.00 xx.xx FTP Server
Name (myprn:<none>) : root
331 Password required.

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 direct ory.
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).
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.
