1. Windows 2000 Print Server Configuration

To use a printer connected to the Ethernet interface, select "SmartNetMonitor", "Standard TCP/IP Port" or "LPR Port" when installing t he printer driver.

• SmartNetMonitor See p.14 “Configuring the Protocols” and p.18 “Instal ling Soft wa re” and p.19 “Ins tallin g th e PCL

5c or RPCS Printer Driver” or p.24 “Installing the PostScript Printer Driver”.

• Standard TCP/IP Port, LPR Port See p.14 “Configuring the Protocols” and p.19 “Instal ling the P CL 5c o r RPCS Printer D river” or

p.24 “Installing the PostScript Printer Driver”.

Note

❒ If you want to use "LPR Port", "Print Services for UNIX" must be installed.

Configuring the Protocols

Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing

Follow these instructions t o configure th e Network Interface Boar d and Window s 2000 to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.

Preparation

To use NetBEUI, use the SmartNetMonitor for Client port.

Page 15

Operating Instructions Administrator Reference

Configuring the printer

Configure the printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.

• Confirm that the TCP/IP prot ocol is set to be active. (The factory default is active.)

• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP protocol.

Reference

For more information about how to make the above settings, see "Windows 2000 Configuration" in Printer Client Reference that comes with this printer.

If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see p.231 “Using DHCP”.

Note

❒ After setting the IP address, use the ping command to confirm that it has been set correctly.

Click [Start], point to [Programs], point to [Accessories] and then click [Command Prompt].

Type the following: (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)

----Bidirectional transmission

When bidirectional t ransmission is e nabled, the information a bout the paper s ize and feed di rection set ting is automaticall y sent to the pri nter by a computer. You can also confirm t he printer sta tus from your computer.

• Bidirectional transmission is supported by Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows NT 4.0.

• If you use the RPCS printer driver and bidirectional transmission is enabled, the [Change Accesso- ries] tab is shaded.

Note

❒ The RPCS printer driver supports bidirectional transmission and updates the printer status automat-

ically.

❒ The PCL 5c printer driv er supports bidirectional transmissio n, you can update the printer status

manually.

❒ The PostScript 3 printer driver does not support bidirectional transmission.

To support bidirectional transmission, the following conditions are required:

❖❖❖❖ When connecting with a parallel cable

• The computer must support bidirectional transmission.

• The printer must be set to bidirectional transmission.

• The Interface cable must support bidirectional transmission.

• The machine must be connected to the computer using the standard parallel cable and parallel

connector.

• Under Windows 2000, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected and [Enable printer pool-

ing] must not be selected on the [port] tab with RPCS printer driver.

Page 32

Operating Instructions Administrator Reference

❖❖❖❖ When connecting with the network

• The printer must be set to bidirectional transmission.

• SmartNetMonitor for Client i ncl ude d on the CD-ROM must be installed, and the TCP/ IP pr oto-

col must be used.

• Under Windows 2000, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected and [Enable printer pool-

ing] must not be selected on the [port] tab with RPCS printer driver.
