Panasonic DPC1062 Operation Manual
Setting Up the Network Server
The Windows NT 4.0 hosts file provides compatibility with the
UNIX hosts file. The file is used a s a local Do main Name
Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same format as the
/etc/hosts file on the UNIX servers:
IP Address<TAB>hostname<TAB>#comments
where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.
To determine the IP Address and Server Name (host name) of
your system, print a configuration page from the DP-C106 control
panel.
Type the entry without any spaces, but substitute the values appropriate for
your environment. The hostname should be the same name you gave to the
DP-C106 in the Server Setup on the control panel.
A sample entry for the DP-C106 as the remote printer is
127.0.0.1<TAB>DP-C106<TAB>#Marketing_printer
If the printer has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host
name database on a UNIX workstation on our network, you should use the
same host name that is used for the remote printer in the /etc/printcap file.
2. Perform Printer Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup. Enter the values for the IP
address of the printer, subnet mask and gateway address.
Installing the DP-C106 as a Shared Printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the Adobe PostScript
printer driver files, which gives your applications access to some
printer features. For every workstation that will print directly and
independently to the DP-C106, refer to the chapter Installing user
software in a Windows environment for the appropri at e oper ating
system.
If you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0 server or
workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with Windows
NT 4.0 clients on the network. When a printer is shared, Windows NT
4.0 clients who are not able or who are not given permission to
establish an independent network connection to the printer can still
print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer at any time. If you have not yet
installed the DP-C106 printer files on the Windows NT 4.0 print server,
do so now.
6–10
If you have already installed the printer files on the Windows NT 4.0
server, refer to your Windows documentation for information about
sharing the server.
Setting Up the Network Server
If more than one DP-C106 printing connection (for example, Print
queue and Hold Queue) is published, you may want to create a printer
for each print connection so that you and other users can print to each
queue directly.
Configuring Clients of a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 Server
Each client of a Windows NT 4.0 server is already using a network
protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the
DP-C106 if the printer is shared by a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows
2000 server or workstation. In that case, the client workstation does
not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows
NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 server as the server uses to communicate
with the printer.
1. For Windows NT 4.0 client workstations, before printing, connect
to the print server and select the printer.
2. Right-click the icon and select the Open option.
3. Select Yes to have Windows set up the printer.
After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from Print
Setup, Page Setup or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can
change printing options for their own job, but printer properties are not
selectable. When a client selects Print, the job is transmitted to the
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 print server and on to the selected
queue on the DP-C106. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the
client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the DP-C106
window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
print server.

Setting Up the Network Server
Configuring the Server and Client Workstations for Fiery WebTools
Fiery WebTools provide access to many printer functions via the
Internet or corporate intranet, providing additional flexibility in remote
management. You can access the Fiery WebTools from a Windows
95/98/Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 or Mac OS workstation.
Fiery WebSetup is supported for Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000, and
Windows NT 4.0 only.
Setting Up Fiery WebTools on the Printer
1. In Network Setup, enable TCP/IP.
2. Enter a valid, unique IP Address and Subnet Mask for the printer.
If necessary, enter a Gateway Address.
3. Enable Web Services.
4. In Printer Setup, confirm that the Print Queue is published.
Setting Up Fiery WebTools on a Client Workstation

Setting Up the Network Server
The Printer on a Network with UNIX Workstations
When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and
connected to the printer over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to
the DP-C106.
Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root
privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print
jobs to a named printer.
The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and Fiery
WebTools, are not available on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac
OS computer on the same network as the UNIX computer that is setup
to use TCP/IP for printing to the DP-C106 can use the job
management tools to manage print jobs that originate from all
workstations on the network.
Setting up the printer in a UNIX environment has the same
requirements as setting up any printer or new device:
• A distinct IP address is needed for the printer and for each
workstation on the network.
• The printer is assigned a name that is associated with the IP
address.
• The IP address of the printer must be registered for the network in
a host database and also on the printer itself.
• The Print Queue or the Hold Queue (or both) must be published.
LPD printing to the Direct Connection is not supported.
6–14
Setting Up the Network Server
The DP-C106 has a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
The remote printer name (rp in the /etc/printcap file) must be used for
successful communication and must be either print or hold. The
remote printer name is also used in setting up Windows NT 4.0
workstations or servers that connect to the printer over TCP/IP. Enter
the remote printer name when you set up your printer in the Add LPR
Compatible Printer box.
Setting Up the Printer on TCP/IP Networks
Every host machine on a TCP/IP network, including the printer, must
have a unique 32-bit Internet address (IP address). Workstations on a
TCP/IP network can print directly to the DP-C106 as a remote printer,
or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation acting as
a print server. Since the printer spools jobs and acts as a print server,
there is no advantage in placing another print server between a
workstation and the printer. If you choose to do so, however, there is
no difference in setup except that a client workstation does not have its
own spooling area.
Setting Up Printing on UNIX Systems
1. Specify the appropriate settings in Server Setup.
2. Specify the appropriate settings in Network Setup. Enter a valid
IP address, subnet mask and gateway address for the printer.
3. Specify the appropriate settings in Printer Setup. Publish the Print
Queue and/or Hold Queue.
6–15
Setting Up the Network Server
Setting up TCP/IP for Communication with the Printer
1. The superuser (root login) must add the printer to the IP host
table of the network or other system database of network printers.
2. In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote
printer name, the print server protocol, the queue, and the spool
file for the assigned printer name.
3. Make the printer available to other network users.
4. Verify the TCP/IP connection. From any workstation on the
network, access the command prompt and type the following:
ping <IP address>
After the printer is set up as a network printer, you can also type:
ping <host name>
The server should respond with a reply that includes the printer IP
address. Some systems will respond with a continuous display of
output from the IP address. To stop the output, press Control-C.
You can use the ping command at any time.

• ENABLE DHCP—YES/NO. The Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (specified in RC 2131) is an
extension to BOOTP that allows dynamic allocation of
IP addresses. DHCP assigns leases to the assigned
IP addresses. The client is required to renew its lease
with the server in order to keep its address. If a lease
expires, the DHCP server reclaims the address and
may assign it to another client. This protocol is used
widely by Windows workstations.
• ENABLE BOOTP—YES/NO. This protocol, specified
in RFC 1542, allows clients to query for IP addresses
and additional informatio n.
• ENABLE RARP—YES/NO. The Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol (RARP) is specified in RFC 903.
It enables a client to query for its IP address. This
protocol is rarely used.
