Setting Up the Printer

Where to Put the Printer

Your printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental

A

conditions can greatly affect its performance.

WARNING:

•

Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessi­ble, so that in the event of an emergency, it can be easily un­plugged.

•

Only connect the machine to the power source described on this
sheet.

•

Avoid multi-wiri ng.

•

Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power
cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more
than necessary. These actions could damage the cord. A frayed or
damaged cord might cause an electrical and fire hazard.

CAUTION:

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an elec-

•

trical shock.
Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental con-

•

ditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the rec­ommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical
or fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulat­ed dust can become an electrical or fire hazard.

Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, the ma-

•

chine might fall and injure someone.
If you use the machine in a confined space, confirm there is a continuous

•

air turnover.

Requirements

Requirements

Before using this printer, confirm that all the environmental and electrical re­quirements have been met. Connect the printer to your host computer using the
parallel port, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port, or both.

Confirm that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to attach
the printer to your host computer or network are present.

Important

❒

The interface cable is not supplied in the box. It is your responsibility to pro­vide the interface cable appropriate for the computer that you are using.

❒

It comes standard with network-ready Ethernet capability (Network Inter­face Board 185).

Reference

For more information on using the parallel port, see P.44 “Connecting the
Printer to the Host Using a Parallel Cable”.

For more information on using a network, see P.42 “Connecting the Printer to
the Network”.

Network Cable Requirements

Network Interface Board supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connections.
You can use the printer in the following network environments:

• Use the appropriate network management software and printer driver.

• Attach the printer to a networked computer set up as a server.

For more information on configuring the Network Interface Board 185, see
the “Operating Instructions” that comes with it.

For more information on resolving network connection problems, see "Trou­bleshooting" in the "Printer Reference".

Note

❒

Consult your network administrator before connecting your printer to a net­work.

❒

In a 100BASE-TX environment, be sure to use properly shielded and ground­ed cable (STP, Category/Type5) for the connection to your host computer
(and/or HUB) in order to meet FCC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC emis­sion guidelines.

Parallel Cable Requirements

Connect the printer to your host computer using a parallel port. A parallel cable
to connect the printer to the host computer is not included with this printer.

1

The printer's parallel interface is a standard bi-directional interface. It requires a
standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port
available on the host computer.

Note

❒

Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

Subnet Mask

A number used to mathematically
"mask" or hide an IP Address on
the network by eliminating those
parts of the address that are alike
for all the printers on the network.

❖

Gateway Address

A gateway is a connection or inter­change point that connects two
networks. A gateway address is for
the router or host computer used
as a gateway.

Note

❒

To get the addresses, contact
your network administrator.

❖

Access Control Address and Access
Control Mask

Access Control Address and Ac­cess Control Mask are used to con­trol the IP Addresses that have
access to the computer used for
printing, with the IP Address. If it
is not necessary for you to control
the access rights, select “0.0.0.0”.

❒

When the Access Control Ad­dress settings coincide with the

For example, if you assign

192.168.15.16 as the Access Con­trol Address to the network in­terface board, the combination
of the Access Control Mask and
IP Address that can have access
are as follows. (xxx: for any nu­merical value)

3. Installing the Printer Driver
and Software

All of the procedures in this manual assume that you are familiar with general
Windows procedures and practices. If you are not, see the documentation that
comes with Windows for details.

Auto Run

You can install the printer driver by using Auto Run.
Auto Run is available for the following operating systems:

• Windows 95/98

• Windows NT 4.0
If your system is Windows 3.1x or Macintosh, see information on installing the

printer driver.

⇒ P.55 “Windows 95/98 - Installing the PCL 6/5e Printer Driver”.
⇒ P.56 “Windows 3.1x - Installing the PCL 6/5e Printer Driver”.
⇒ P.62 “Macintosh”.

Important

❒

Before starting this installation, close all documents and applications. In a net­work environment, confirm that users who are logged on are disconnected.
Be sure to do this when it will create the least interference with other users.

❒

After installing a printer driver, you must restart the computer.

Limitation

❒

If your system is Windows NT 4.0, installing a printer driver requires Full
Control access permission. Members of the Administrators, Server Operators,
Print Operators, and Power Users groups have Full Control permission by
default. When you install a printer driver, log on under Full Control permis­sion.

Reference

For more information on the software and utilities included on the CD-ROM,
see P.53 “Software and Utilities Included on the CD-ROM”.

Note

❒

Auto Run might not automatically work with certain OS settings. In this case,
start "SETUP.EXE" to install printer driver on the root.

❒

If you want to cancel Auto Run, insert the CD-ROM while pressing the

{

SHIFT

key until your computer finishes accessing the CD-ROM.

}

51

Installing the Printer Driver and Software

Using the Shared Printer on Windows NT 4.0 for Windows 95/98 Client

-

If you want to share the printer on Windows NT 4.0, you must not install the
printer driver using Auto Run. Install the printer driver of the Windows 95/98
for alternate driver.

For more information on installing the printer driver as an alternate driver, see
P.55 “Windows NT 4.0 - Installing the PCL 6/5e Printer Driver”.

3

Installing by Auto Run

Follow these steps to install the printer driver on Windows 95/98/NT 4.0.

Important

❒

Never have two versions of the same printer driver installed on your system
at the same time. When upgrading to a new version of the printer driver, un­install the old version, and then install the new one. For more information on
uninstalling the printer driver and software, see “Uninstalling the Printer
Driver and Software” in the Printer Reference.
