Unix Printing

Printing from Unix/Linux using TCP/IP

Overview

Imagistics Print/Fax servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. As with all protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same Imagistics print server over an Ethernet network.

The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux installation.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using control panel of the machine. For more information see page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Imagistics Print/ Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.

Refer to chapter 11 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your machine.

The default password for Imagistics Print/Fax servers is access.

1 - 1 UNIX PRINTING

Page 14

The default name for a Imagistics Print/Fax server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server).

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.

TCP/IP

Imagistics Print/Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Imagistics print servers without the need for any special software on the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.

Imagistics Print/Fax servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.

The Imagistics Print/Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the Print/Fax server is the allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin Professional utility, or the control panel of the machine.

For setting the IP address of the Print/Fax server, refer to the Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 11 of this user guide.

General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration

The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation for additional information.

Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX host that needs to communicate with the Print/Fax server. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the device. For example:

192.189.207.3 BRN_310107

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2

Page 15

The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file.

The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the Imagistics Print/Fax server (the name that appears on the network configuration page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP/UX, do not accept the “_” character in the default name, for these systems you must use a different name).

In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file.

Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.

Choose which Print/Fax server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Imagistics Print/Fax servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics.

Choose one of the available services (a service name will be used in step 3):

BINARY_P1 Binary data TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)

You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for the same Print/Fax server, each one with a different service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs).

1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING

Page 16

Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the Print/Fax server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the Print/Fax server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.

This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration section. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP/UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file should skip to section 3-a. SCO user's should also skip to section 3a (SCO uses the printcap file, but this file is automatically configured via the

rlpconf command).

An example of a typical printcap file:

laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=BRN_310107:\ :rp=TEXT_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1:

Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file is a colon “:”.

This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a Imagistics print server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Imagistics printer through spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4

Page 17

The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options.

Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status:

%lpc status laser1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries no daemon present

Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.

Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system.

If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of these systems generally use a printer setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue name (spool directory). Refer to the appropriate section depending on your version of Unix.

Linux Configuration

If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following:

From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.

You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click OK.

You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.

The Remote Host name is the IP address of the printer, or the name from the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.

The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name “BINARY_P1”, however, if you are planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use “TEXT_P1”.

Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list of available printers on your particular build of Linux.

In order to make your settings work, select the Restart lpd option. As soon as the lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.

Linux Configuration using CUPS

Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). CUPS typically uses PPD that are on Imagistics BR-Script (Postscript language emulation) ready machines. If you are using a Imagistics printer that does not include the BR-Script emulation you must use an alternative driver.

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6

Page 19

HP/UX Configuration

In the case of HP/UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows:

Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters.

Select LP Spooler.

Select Printers and Plotters.

Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).

Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server as the Remote System Name.

Enter the desired Print/Fax server service name as the Remote Printer Name.

Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.

You may accept the default values for the remaining items.

Click OK to configure the printer.

You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the printer name.

If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the Print/Fax server. You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use the lp -d command with the logical printer name.

Earlier versions of HP/UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:

Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer).

Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):

■ Line printer name (user-selectable).

■ Remote system name (the Print/Fax server name; must

match what is in hosts file or use Print/Fax server IP address).

■ Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service

name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).

■ Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes).

IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration

The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:

Enter smit and select devices.

Select Printer/Plotter.

Select Print Spooling.

Select Add a Print Queue.

Select Remote.

Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:

Name of queue (user selectable) Host name of Remote Printer (Print/Fax server name; must

■ Name of queue on remote printer (Print/Fax server binary

or text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).

■ Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).

Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration

Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration:

lpsystem -t bsd prnservername lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice

accept queue (not required on newer Solaris systems) enable queue (not required on newer Solaris systems)

Where queue is the name of the local Print/Fax queue. prnservername is the name of the Print/Fax server (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file or IP address). prnserverservice is the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1

service.

If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched command prior to the accept command.

As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the Print/Fax server name in the format prnservername!\prnserverservice as described above. Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default setting), and click Add.

Note that we recommend that you use the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs. If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port software as described later in this chapter.

SCO UNIX Configuration

To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the SCOADMIN program.

Select Printers and then Print Manager.

Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename> RMSTSYS (*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(<service>) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL (<driver>) INTNETADR('<ipaddress>') TEXT ('<description>')

where <queuename> is the new AS/400 print queue name, <service> is the Print/Fax server service name (BINARY_P1 or

TEXT_P1) <driver> is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and <ipaddress> is the IP address of the Print/Fax server. Note that the IP address and description must be enclosed in single quotes.

Other Systems

Other systems use similar programs to set up Print/Fax servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information:

Requested information: You should use:

remote printer Binary or Text service name remote host computer name Any name (must match the

name in the printcap file, if any) or in some cases, you may enter the Print/Fax server IP address here

remote host IP address IP address of Print/Fax server.

Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information (tell them that the Print/ Fax server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line printer daemon).

UNIX PRINTING 1 - 12

Page 25

If you have not created a spool directory for the Imagistics Print/Fax server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory (check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For example, to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would enter:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1

On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following example:

lpc start laser1

Imagistics Print/Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

Print Server Configuration

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the Print/Fax server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows receive “Printer is busy” error messages when more than one person attempts to access the printer. In this instance Imagistics has provided the “Imagistics NetBIOS Port Monitor” software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available.

When you install Windows workgroup you belong to. The default workgroup name for Windows® 95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows® NT, Microsoft introduced the concept of “Domains”. A domain offers centralized security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The Print/Fax server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of the workgroup or domain. The Imagistics Print/Fax server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to change name, you can configure the Imagistics print server to recognize this. There are three ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

Page 40

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the Print/ Fax server may take several minutes to appear in the network neighborhood. You will also find that the Print/Fax server may take several minutes to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.

Changing the workgroup/domain name using a web browser

You can change the workgroup/domain name using BRAdmin Professional utility. To do this press NetBIOS tab and then enter your workgroup/domain name into the Domain Name text box.

You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIOS name. To do this, connect to the print server using its IP address and then select the Configure NetBIOS option from the Network Configuration screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name into the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes (click on the Submit button).

Overview

Imagistics Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 95/98/Me/ NT4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a Imagistics machine at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using control panel of the machine. For more information see page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Imagistics Print/ Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel of the machine, the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.

Refer to chapter 11 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

Imagistics Internet Print General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/ NT4.0/2000/XP Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the application program point of view. The user can use the Windows XP Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows Any Windows therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.

When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIMEencoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Imagistics Print/Fax server at the remote location. This means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet.

In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:

■ If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message

is passed to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote Print/Fax server.

■ If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service

Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote Print/Fax server.

5 - 2 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS

Page 48

■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message.

The remote Print/Fax server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the E-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out as a text document.

Imagistics Internet Print Configuring the Imagistics Print/Fax Server

The Print/Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin Professional utility or by using a web browser.

Print Server Configuration Checklist

Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).

Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Imagistics Print/Fax server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign the E-mail address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).

Make sure that the Print/Fax server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.

Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account.

Imagistics Internet Print Using BRAdmin Professional utility to Configure the Print Server

Skip this section if you wish to use the Web Browser to configure the Print/Fax server.

Using the BRAdmin Professional utility, you can configure the Imagistics print server using the TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX protocol.

The steps required to configure the Print/Fax server to receive print jobs from a Windows software is as follows:

Start BRAdmin Professional utility.

Select the node name of the desired Imagistics Print/Fax server from the list and double click on it. (the default node name is usually BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)). You will be prompted for a password; the default password is access.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the network configuration page. Refer to “Resetting the Print/Fax Server back to factory settings (Test Switch)” on page 14-4 how to print the network configuration page on your Print/Fax server.

Click on the POP3/SMTP tab.

Enter the address of the POP3 server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address).

Enter the mailbox name for the remote Imagistics Print/Fax server. Usually this will be the first part of the E-mail address (for example, if the E-mail address of the print server is

emailprinter@xyz, then the mailbox name would be emailprinter).

Overview

Imagistics Print/Fax servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

The default password for Imagistics Print/Fax servers is access.

6 - 1 NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING

Page 58

General Information

In order to use a Imagistics Print/Fax server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the Print/Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate NetWare print server) to the appropriate Imagistics Print/Fax server.

The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS (NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin Professional utility.

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin Professional utility.

You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin Professional utility.

If you can't use the BRAdmin Professional utility in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use a WWW browser to configure the Print/Fax server.

Imagistics Print/Fax servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32 queues.

Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for NetWare5

With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the Print/Fax server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.

For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing please refer to the “Other Sources of Information” section at the end of this chapter.

NDPS Manager

This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.

You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls a printer attached directly to the server, you must loa d the ma nager on the server that the printer is attached to.

In NetWare administrator, navigate to the area you want the NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS Manager and click OK.

Printing From a Macintosh

Printing From a Macintosh® Using AppleTalk and TCP/IP or Rendezvous

Overview

Imagistics print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.

With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing capability. This allows Macintosh users to send print jobs using the TCP/IP protocol.

With the release of OS/X 10.2, Apple introduced support for Rendezvous printing. Rendezvous supports automatic network configuration. If you choose to use the Rendezvous features of you r Imagistics product, you usually do not need to configure any IP address settings yourself.

Macintosh Configuration (OS 8.6 - 9.2)

Your Imagistics Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Before you try to use the Imagistics print server, you must first enable the EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. If the EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network

Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's Network Installer software to add these capabilities.

The appropriate PPD file supplied with your machine must first be installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. Select the Start Here icon, select your language and follow the on-screen instructions for Install Software.

The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it to the network port you just created.

Imagistics does not recommend using the DLC protocol with Windows® for Workgroups 3.11 in a peer-to-peer configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts. The best solution in these situations is to set up one PC as a server for handling network print jobs. All of the other PCs send their print jobs to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/ IP, and the server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to the Imagistics print server.

Web Based Management

How to use a Web Browser to manage your Device

Overview

A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later) can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a printer on your network using a web browser:

Printer status information.

Change Fax configuration items, such as Initial Setup. One Touch Dial settings and Remote Fax.

You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP information, Internet Fax address information, etc.

Software version information of the machine and print server.

Change network and machine configuration details.

You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the Print/Fax server and your computer.

Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using control panel. For more information see page 10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Imagistics print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 11 of this user guide to learn how to configure

the IP address on your machine.

The default password for Imagistics print servers is access.

You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh and Unix users are also able to connect to the machine and manage it.

You can also use the BRAdmin Professional utility to manage the printer and its network configuration.

How to connect to your machine using a Browser

Type http://printer’s IP Address / into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS name of the Print/Fax server, if you are in a Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup environment). Enter the DNS name of the machine if connecting to a network that uses the DNS protocol.

Password Information

Web Based Management offers two levels of password access. Users are able to access to the General Setup, Fax settings, I-Fax Settings and Lists and Reports. The default user name for Users is user (case sensitive) and the default password is access.

Administrators are able to access all settings. The login name for the Administrator is admin (case sensitive) and the default password is

If no DHCP server is available, then the machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP address from the BOOTP server. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.

The machinemachine supports “POWER SAVE mode” and you are using the AUTO Boot mode, POWER SAVE must be set to OFF.

10 - 2 FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU

Page 92

RARP mode

Imagistics Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you ca n create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server and the second entry is the name of the Print / Fax server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The Imagistics Print / Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered on.

BOOTP mode

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i

Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead of “bootp”.

FRONT PANEL SETUP MENU 10 - 3

Page 93

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the “#” (if there is no “#”, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the na me, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the Print / Fax server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3

and:

BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ ip=192.189.207.3:

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with rarp, the Print / Fax server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.

DHCP mode

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP

Server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows

NT®/2000/XP or Novell Netware network) the Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your Print / Fax server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static, this will prevent the Print / Fax server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the front panel , Web browser or by using the BRAdmin application.
