Unpacking

If you purchased the Network Card as an option, make sure that the following items are included.
Report damage or shortages to the reseller from where the Network Card was purchased.

Important

• Save the original carton and packing materials for future shipping and transporting of
the Network Card.

Installing the Network Card

Important

• To prevent damage, be sure to turn OFF the printer when installing/uninstalling the

Network Card.

• Before installing the Network Card you should discharge any static electricity by
touching any exposed metal surface on the printer, while the printer is stiii plugged

in to a grounded AC outlet.

• Do not touch any electrical components on the surface of the board to avoid static

electricity.

• Use a shielded cable when using a 100 Base-TX/10 Base-T (RJ-45 type) port to

ensure emission compliance.

• Do not remove the components which are not indicated.

To remove the printer cover

See the “IMPORTANT’ on page 5.

1 Turn the printer OFF and pull out the 1st cassette.

2 Unplug the power cord and disconnect any cables connected to the

connectors on the back of the printer.

Selecting the Network Print Method

There are two ways of network printing. You may need to contact your network administrator to
select it.

• Printing directly from a computer

• Printing through the shared computer (server) (page 12)

Printing directly from a computer

A print job of a computer is transferred directly to the Network Card (printer). This method is

recommended for a small network and has the advantage of fewer setup steps. However, as the
network gets larger, there will be more network traffic causing longer waiting status for the print jobs

to be printed.

Firstly, select a network protocol which you are using or want to use.
Secondly, select the printing method.

When using TCP/IP protocol:

Printing through the shared computer (server)

A print job of a computer (client) is transferred to the Network Card (printer) by the shared computer

(server). This method requires a server and is recommended for a larger networks because it lets
the server manage the flow of print data and provides faster printing. In addition, the setup will be
easy with more computers connected in the future.

Firstly, select a network protocol which you are using or want to use on the shared computer (server).

Secondly, select the printing method.

step 1: Setting up the TCP/IP protocol on the Network Card

The setting up of IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are required for the Network Card.
Normally there are two ways to set up these addresses. You may need to ask your network
administrator about the set up of these addresses.

• By using the DHCP server

• By using the printer’s operator panel display

■ By using the DHCP server

This Network Card supports DHCP server. Therefore, it is possible to assign the IP address, etc.
automatically from the DHCP server.

Notes

• In case of the factory default, once the IP address, etc. is assigned, it will be kept in
the printer’s memory. When the printer is turned on again, the Network Card attempts
to obtain the same IP address, etc. But if the DHCP server has already lent this
address to other device, a different IP address, etc. will be assigned.

• The IP address assigned from a DHCP server has either limited or infinite lease term.
It is recommended to use Infinite lease with this Network Card. The Network Card
does not ask for an extension of the lease even if Its IP address has a limited lease
term. If the infinite IP address is assigned, the lease term is terminated when the
printer is turned off.

■ By using the printer’s operator panel display

If the administrator manages the IP address, ask your network administrator for the values. If not,
decide the value by referring to the example below.
The IP address must be unique on every network computer and device. The Subnet Mask must be
the same on all network computers and devices.

Example: Assigning the IP address. Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

IP Address:

Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:

Note

• It is recommended to select “DLC Peer-to -Peer printing” if you use Windows 95/
Windows 98 and you have trouble setting up the IP address values. Its settings are
comparatively easy.

10.X.X.X (For X, you can choose any number from 0 - 255 except O.O.O.O

and 255.255.255.255)

255.000.000.000
Not required.

I step 2: Setting up the TCP/IP protocol on the computer

To use IP Peer-to-Peer printing directly from the computer, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed
and set up on the computer.

If the TCP/IP protocol is used on the computer, proceed to “Step 3: Installing and setting up IP Peer-

to-Peer printer port on the computer'’ on page 20.

If not, install the TCP/IP protocol by referring to the Help menu for Windows 95, Windows 98 or

Windows NT 4.0. The IP Address, Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway must be assigned when

installing it. Set them using one of the following two ways.
If the TCP/IP protocol setting in the Network Card is set from the DHCP server, proceed to “Setting

from the DHCP server'’ below. If it is done by using printer’s operator panel display, proceed to

“Setting by direct entering” below.

■ Setting up from the DHCP server:

If the administrator manages the network at the DHCP server, each address Is automatically

assigned from the DHCP server.

■ Setting up by direct entering:

If the administrator manages the IP address, ask your network administrator to confirm the values,
and then enter them. If not, decide the value by referring to the example on page 14, and then enter
them.

Note

• Make sure step 1 and step 2 (page 14 to 19) are set correctly.

(1) On Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows NT 4.0, click I start], select Programs and

click MS-DOS Prompt.

(2) Type ping, press the space key, then enter the IP address.

[Example] >ping 179.40.0.5

(3) Press I Enter |.

If “Reply from XXXXXXXXXX" message is displayed on the screen, the
addresses have been set correctly. If not, those are not set correctly, and you
should go back to "Installing the Network Card” on page 5.
