3.2.7 About the IP address setting in DHCP server environment

In the network environment where the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server is used in the network server, the IP address of this network card is automatically assigned by the DHCP server.

We strongly recommend that the IP address be used fixed when this network card is used, but in some DHCP server, the IP address cannot be fixed. For the DHCP server specifications, please refer to the manual which comes with the DHCP Server.

In order to use the DHCP’s IP address auto assignment function, you must set the DHCP Request of this network card to ON. (This is set to OFF at factory shipping.)

The DHCP Request ON\OFFcan be set either in the printer’s level 2 menu or using the OkiView utility or the Web server/Telnet.

It will take about 30 seconds to complete rewriting of the setting change. Then, set the printer to OFF-LINE and then to ON-LINE, using the ONLINE button of the printer or turn the printer’s power off and on again.

Caution:If both DHCP and RARP are set to ON, a serious error will

result on network. Never set both to ON.

3.2.8 Setting up the UNIX server

This section describes the UNIX type network environment setup without using the UNIX utility. If you are going to use the UNIX utility, please refer to the Readme file attached to the UNIX utility”.

3.2.8.1 IP address and host name in the host table

Using the following procedure, add the IP address and the host name (printer name) to the host table:

1 Get the IP address which is not used from the network adminis-

trator and determine a unique name for this network card.

2 Add the IP address and the host name to the host table of the

system. In almost all the UNIX systems, you can do this by adding the following line to /etc/hosts file:

3 Update the data base. If the system uses data base such as

Yellow Pages (YP) and Network Information Services (NIS), these must be updated. In almost all the UNIX systems, you can do this by entering the following commands:

cd /var/yp make

3.2.8.2 Printer data base

To allow the printer to function correctly in the UNIX line printer system, you must create the /etc/printcap file. In the printcap data base, information on the line printer directly connected to a certain machine and the printer(s) that can be used via network is registered.

For the details of the printcap, please refer to the UNIX On-Line Manual Page or Reference Manual.

This subsection describes how to create the /etc/printcap file, using an example in which the remote machine name, the printer name and the spool directory name were set to OKIPAGE 12i.

3. NETWORK SET UP FOR EACH OPERATION SYSTEM

First, create a directory OKIPAGE 12i under the directory /ver/spool/lpd. The printcap entry is composed of fields enclosed with colons ( : ). The last field must end with a colon. Describe the name of the printer in the first field of each entry . Start from the left margin, without placing a colon at the head.

Example:

# printcap entry for OKIPAE 12i PAGEPRINTER on Network OKIPAGE 12i:\

:lp=\ :rm=OKIPAGE 12i:\ :rp=OKIPAGE 12i:\ :lf=/var/adm/lpd-errs: \

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ OKIPAGE 12i: If there is # at the beginning of the line, this line becomes a comment. If you enter a carriage return without a space character after a back slash

(\), this entry continues to the next line. Please note that if you enter a space character at the end of the printcap line, by mistake, a serious error will occur. In this example, a tab is set for the left margin for the continuing lines. And a continuing line of any entry must begin with a space character, normally with a tab character. If an entry continues to the second line or more, you must place a colon at the end of each line and the beginning of next line. Meaning of each entry

lp: device name to open for output

Specify the name of the file to open for output. For a printer which resides in the remote host, there must be an empty entry.

rm: machine name for remote printer

Specify the name of the remote machine connected. This name must be an already known host name of the machine on the network.

rp: remote printer name argument

Indicates that the printer name on the remote machine is OKIPAGE 12i.

10 Base-T Ethernet network adapter card

lf: error logging filename

Specify the file which records the spooler errors. You can create it at an arbitrary place, but the permission to write must be already set.

sd: spool directory

Specify the spooling directory. Make sure that the directory has the correct permission.

3. Zone name and the printer name

For this Network card, the names of the zones currently connected are automatically set to Network card’s Zone Name. The default value at the time of factory shipping is * (asterisk).

Also, the printer name is set to OKIPAGE 12i. If there are several OKIPAGE 12i printers in the same zone, this Network card automatically adds the numbers in ascending order to the printer names, in the order the printers are turned on.

3. NETWORK SET UP FOR EACH OPERATION SYSTEM

For example, when two zones “ZONE-01” and “ZONE-02” are connected and three OKIPAGE 12i printers are connected in each Zone, the Zone name and the Printer name are as follows:

Connected zone

ZONE-01

ZONE-02

Connected zone

Order printers are

turned on

1 2 3 1 2 3

Zone name that

have been set

ZONE-01 ZONE-01 ZONE-01 ZONE-02 ZONE-02 ZONE-02

Printer names that

have been set OKIPAGE 12i OKIPAGE 12i1 OKIPAGE 12i2 OKIPAGE 12i OKIPAGE 12i1 OKIPAGE 12i2

Turning on the printer does not affect the printer name. In the above example, if only the OKIP AGE 12i1 of ZONE-01 is turned off and on again, it will be connected as the printer name OKIPAGE 12i1 again, and the printer names OKIP AGE 12i and OKIPAGE 12i2 do not change. Nor are the printers connected in ZONE-02 affected.

4.1.4 Printer administration using the SNMP Manager (HP OpenView)

OKIPAGE 12i and this network card support Management Information Base (MIB, hereafter).

MIB is information that is sent/received between the managing host and the devices that are managed, with SNMP protocol, for the network management, defined in RFC1213 (MIB II).

The structure of the MIB is expressed by Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), and normally the results of compilation to the C-Language source using the ASN.1 compiler are used in a management software and a device to which it is incorporated.

For the OKIPAGE 12i , please use an ASN.1 file comes with this Network card, or whitch is downloaded from OKIDATA Home Page (http://www.okidata.com/).

For the OKIPAGE 12i, please use a compiler comes with the SNMP Manager.

Of the MIBs defined by various RFCs, OKIPAGE 12i supports Private MIB only.

By reading or rewriting MIB values using the various SNMP tools that use the SNMP protocol, you can manage printers on the network. This Manual explains how to refer to, set and change MIB, using the Open View Network Node Manager of Hewlet Packard Corporation.

4.1.4.1 Referring to MIB’s set values and changing set values

6. TROUBLE SHOOTING

6.1 Checking status codes

When an error occurs in data reception/transmission using this network card, the printer’s LCD panel displays “HOST/IF ERROR”. In this case, check the status code using the following procedure, write down the status code and handle the error consult the nearby service center:

1 Clear the error by holding “Recover” button for 2 seconds or

longer.

2 Hold the “MENU1” button in OFF-LINE state for 2 seconds or

longer to move to the Level 2 Menu setting. When you have moved to that level, “PRINT MODE’ is displayed.

3 Press the “MENU1” button repeatedly. When “NETWORK” is

displayed, press the “ENTER” button to move to the Network setting mode.

4 Press the “MENU1” button repeatedly. When “NET MNT” is dis-

played, press the “ENTER” button. Then “ST A TUS” is displayed. At this point, numbers indicating the error type are displayed on the bottom column of the LCD.

5 Press “t” “s” button, then detailed status codes from “STA-

TUS1” to “STATUS18”are displayed in numbers. Write down the status code and handle the error consult the nearby service center.

6 Press “ON-LINE” button to exit the menu setting mode. The printer

returns to the idle state.

6.2 Understanding Status Codes

This section shows how to understand the area displayed as “STATUS” in the Network menu. This area has 4 bytes and holds the most recent four error states . In the figure, the numbers shown at Byte1 are the oldest of the four errors while the numbers shown at Byte4 are the newest error. The number shown in each byte indicates the sub-status code no. In other words, when “ST A TUS” is shown as 00021509, the error that has occurred most recently is “STATUS09” and the error before that is “STATUS15”, and the error before that is “ST ATUS02”. In this case, because the byte 1 is 00 (no error), you will know that “STATUS02” is the oldest

10 Base-T Ethernet network adapter card

error.

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4

Netwest status

Status immediatly preceding

Status before the above status

Status before above status

As the way to look at the number, for example, “00021509”, take two characters as a unit, that is, “00”, “02”, “15” and “09”. “00” indicates that no error has occurred. Since the first error had occurred in the category “02”, press “s” button twice to check the sub status code of “STATUS02”. Write down the status code.

Next how to look at each sub status code will be explained: A sub status code has 4 bytes, too, but the status is the byte2.
