CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

NTRODUCTION

The purpose of this book is to help the network administrator integrate Xpress T9412i/T9412n monochrome laser printers into a local Area Network (LAN). It describes setting up the printer in LANs using NetWare, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 network operating systems. It also explains Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), Windows peer-to-peer printing, and shared printing.

As described in the Xpress T9412i User’s Guide , this printer comes with it’s own built-in web server and home page. You can perform network administration tasks directly from the printer’s home page. See “Xpress T9412i/T9412n W eb Pages” on page 41 for more information on this topic.

Some simpliﬁed instructions are included in this guide, but ideally we assume that you have the following:

• A working knowledge of your network utilities and system.

• The correct network software.

• A completely operational system.

• Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator , or access to an account that has supervisor privileges.

UPPORTED

NVIRONMENTS

The Network Interface Card (NIC) supports the following platforms and protocols:

• Microsoft

Windows

95/98, Windows NT

4.0,

Windows

Me, and Windows

2000

• NetWare

versions 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x

• Peer-to-peer printing for Windows 95/98/Me

• Peer-to-peer printing for Windows NT 4.0

• Peer-to-peer printing for Windows 2000

• Mac

• UNIX

EQUIREMENTS

In order to install the NIC, you will need a Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet

note:

The NIC automatically detects whether you have a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. For better performance, Tally recommends you use shielded cable and connectors with 100 Mbps Ethernet hubs.

Page 8

OFTWARE

EQUIREMENTS

There are three types of software that must be considered in network printing. First, the network operating system software that must be conﬁgured to recognize the printer. Second, the print clients’ operating system software. And third, the printer driver software that must be loaded on each client computer.

Network Operating Systems

Networks use an operating system for managing the network. Depending on the method used to connect your printer to the network, a network operating system (NOS) may have to be conﬁgured to recognize the printer and make it available to print clients.

The Xpress T9412i/T9412n supports networks using 10BaseTX or 100Base-TX physical connections and one of the following Network Operating Systems:

• Microsoft Windows

• Novell NetWare

• Apple EtherTalk and LocalTalk

• UNIX

Print Client Operating Systems

A print client can be deﬁned as a computer that submits print jobs through its physical LAN connection and installed operating system. Listed below are the print client types supported by the Xpress T9412i/T9412n printers:

• Windows NT 4.0

• Windows 2000

• Windows Me

• Windows 98

• Windows 95

• Mac OS 7.1.2 or higher

• UNIX

Printer Drivers

Printer drivers enable the print client to communicate to the printer from a user’s application. The Xpress T9412i/T9412n printers provide the following printer drivers:

• PCL6 Printer Driver

• T9412 Series Printer Driver

• PostScript Printer Driver

• Tally Xpress T9412 PPD (for Macintosh users)

• UNIX LPR Any one of these drivers can be used to enable an application

to communicate with the printer. Macintosh computers running Mac OS 7.1.2 or higher, can

use the LaserWriter 8 printer driver. Supplied with your printer is a T ally Xpress T9412 PPD that helps the LaserWriter 8 driver communicate with the printer.

UNIX computers using LPR that can send plain text or PostScript data to the printer.

Install the drivers from the Xpress T9412 Series Solutions CD or ﬁnd them on the Internet under www.tally.com .

Connect the Printer to Your Network

If you have the Xpress T9412n printer, a network card is already installed. If you have the Xpress T9412i printer you will need to install the NIC yourself. See the directions in Chapter 2 on page 5 of this User’s Guide.

Install Network Printer Manager (NPM)

Install Network Printer Manager (NPM) software on your computer from the Xpress T9412 Series Solutions CD .

note:

Please be advised that the NPM utility, used to manage printers on a network, does not support upgrading the ﬂash ﬁrmware across different networks. In order to circumvent this limitation, you need to install the NPM utility on a PC located on the same network as the printer you are interested in upgrading.

Assign the IP Address

Use the Network Printer Manager (NPM) to assign the IP address to the NIC, see “Assigning the IP Address with NPM” on page 11.

note:

Please be advised that if you use Microsoft’s IPX/ SPX-compatible protocol, some of the Network Printer Manager’s options that allow you to add, remove, modify, and create print queues will not be available. Therefore we strongly recommend that you use Novell’s NetWare IPX/ SPX protocol (32-bit client) in order to avoid this incompatibility.

Conﬁgure the Network and Workstations

After assigning the IP Address to the NIC, you will be ready to set up the computers to print to the new printer. Select the computer’s operating system from the list below and continue to conﬁgure the network and workstations.

From Windows 95/98/Me

• For NetWare networks, see page 21 of Chapter 5 for conﬁguration information.

• To print directly to the network without a designated server, you can use the peer-to-peer software provided on the Xpress CD. See page 15 of Chapter 4.

• To set up shared printing without a designated server, see page 16 of Chapter 4.

From Windows NT

• If you have a NetWare network, see page 25 of Chapter 5 for conﬁguration information.

• If you have a Windows NT 4.0 server network, see page 16 of Chapter 4.

From Windows 2000

• If you have a NetWare network, see page 26 of Chapter 5 for conﬁguration information.

• If you have a Windows NT 4.0 server network, see page 16 of Chapter 4.

Network Printer Manager

The Xpress T9412i/T9412n Network Printer Manager (NPM) is a tool for remotely managing the printer, its NIC, and to some extent, the network operating system.

note:

Please be advised that the NPM utility used to manage printers on a network does not support upgrading the ﬂash ﬁrmware across different networks. In order to circumvent this limitation, you need to install the NPM utility on a PC located on the same network as the printer you are interested in upgrading.

Xpress T9412i/T9412n Web Pages

The Xpress T9412i/T9412n settings can also be conﬁgured with the aid of a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The printer web pages allow the LAN administrator to conﬁgure most printer settings. For greater network conﬁguration capability, use the NPM utility.

NIC Flash Memory

The printer conﬁguration settings are stored in a FLASH ROM IC located on the NIC. In order to upgrade the NIC ﬁrmware, the NPM utility must be installed in a PC running Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

ETWORK

NTERFACE

AND

ABLING

There are two characteristics that deﬁne an interface to your network—the physical and the electrical.

Physically, the interface to your network must be an RJ-45 socket. Electrically, the interface must be Ethernet 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX.

A network cable is used to interconnect the printer with the network interface. The cable must be a Category 5 cable with RJ-45 plugs fastened to both ends. If connecting to a 100 Megabit Ethernet network, use a shielded Category 5 cable.

RJ-45 Plug

The RJ-45 plug is fastened to both ends of a Category 5 network cable. Use this type of cable to interconnect the printer with the network interface.

INSTALLING THE NIC

NIC FEATURES

When the NIC is installed in the printer there will be two green status lights (LEDs) visible on the Interface Panel. Below is an explanation on what those lights indicate. Instructions are also given on how to reset the NIC to its factory default settings.

NIC Status Lights

The light patterns for the NIC operation are as follows:

Upper Green light is on solid: This shows normal operation. The printer’s LAN connection is established.

If the Upper Green Light is not lit, the LAN connection is not established.

Lower Green light blinks continuously: This shows the printer is available and ready to process a print job.

Resetting the NIC

There may be times when you will want to reset the NIC. This should be done when the printer is moved to a different network or when you are setting up peer-to-peer printing.

When the NIC is reset to its factory default settings, data such as names and IP addresses will be lost. However, the NIC’s serial number and Network Address will not be lost. The NIC can be reset by following the steps below.

1. Turn OFF the power to the printer.

2. Press the GO/Continue and Cancel Job buttons on the printer’s Operator Panel and turn the printer back ON.

3. The LEDs will all blink three times and then the LEDs will cycle once (approx. 4 seconds). This will reset the printer to its factory default settings, but NOT the NIC to its factory default settings. Do not release the buttons.

4. Continue to press the two buttons until the LEDs all blink three times. Then, wait until the LEDs cycle once more (approx. 20 seconds).

5. Release the two buttons and both the NIC and the printer will be reset to their factory default settings.

Introduction 11

CHAPTER 3

NIC IP CONFIGURATION

INTRODUCTION

To take advantage of the many Xpress network features, you must assign an IP address to the printer’s network interface card (NIC). This chapter explains several ways of assigning an IP address.

Obtaining the Printer’s IP Address

Determine the printer’s IP Address or obtain it from your network administrator . This step is not necessary for Mac OS users or if you have a Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) server. See page 14 for more information about DHCP.

Selecting an IP Address Assignment Method

If a DHCP server is not present, use the Network Printer Manager (NPM) to assign an IP address to your printer’s NIC. There are several ways to do this:

• Static (manual conﬁguration)

• DHCP

• BOOTP

• RARP

ASSIGNING THE IP ADDRESS WITH NPM

The Network Printer Manager (NPM) is an administrative tool that can also be used for assigning the IP Address and conﬁguring the NIC.

The NPM must be installed on a computer running Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, or NT 4.0 that is connected to the network. For more information about NPM, see page 35 of Chapter 8.

1. Click the Windows Start button, select Programs, then

Tally Network Printer Manager folder, and click Network Printer Manager icon to start the Tally

Network Printer Manager.

Once NPM starts, it will begin searching the network for the printer. Every Xpress T9412i(n) printer found will be listed in the NPM main window.

Page 18

12 Chapter 3, Assigning the IP Address

2. Select the printer that needs it’s NIC set up.

The printer can be identiﬁed from the Printer Name column by its NIC serial number, TALnnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the MAC address of the NIC.

The MAC address is listed as the default in the printer name. For example, 0000F0A06ABE is the printer name, and 0000F0A06ABE is the MAC address.

3. From the Network Printer Manager menu, select Network Interface to open the Network Interface properties window.

4. Click the General tab to bring it to the front.

5. In the Printer Name text box, type in a name for the printer.

6. In the Printer Description text box, type in a description

for the printer; for example, its location.

7. Click the TCP/IP tab to bring it to the front.

8. Make sure the TCP/IP Enabled check box is selected.

9. From the IP Address Assignment Method drop-down

list, select the method used by the Network Operating System (NOS) for assigning IP addresses to computers and printers connected to the network.

Item Description

Static Select this item if you want to manually enter a

permanent IP address for the printer.

BOOTP Select this item if you want the NIC to broadcast

a request to a BOOTP server for an IP address. The printer must be restarted after the NIC is conﬁgured.

RARP Select this item if you want the NIC to broadcast

a request to a RARP server for an IP address. The printer must be restarted after the NIC is conﬁgured.

Page 19

Assigning IP Addresses Using BOOTP 13

NIC IP CONFIGURATION

10. If the STATIC method was selected, in the IP Address

text boxes, type in the IP address for the printer.

• In the Subnet Mask text boxes, type in the subnet

mask.

• In the Default Gateway text boxes, type in the

gateway (router) IP address.

11. If BOOTP or RARP was selected as the IP address

assignment method, restart the printer and go to the next section.

ASSIGNING IP ADDRESSES USING BOOTP

The installation of a BOOTP program or service may be required in order to provide BOOTP IP address assignments on the LAN. The following steps address setting up BOOTP on Windows NT servers, but the same procedure can be applied to Solaris, etc.

1. From your Windows NT Server, start your BOOTP service.

2. Start NPM and highlight the printer that will be using BOOTP.

3. Double-click on the highlighted printer.

4. From the Network Interface window, click on the TCP/ IP tab.

5. Set the protocol to BOOTP from the pulldown IP Address Assignment Method ﬁeld.

6. Click on the OK button.

7. Power OFF your printer, then power it ON.

8. Verify that NPM is now listing your printer with a new IP address assigned by your BOOTP server.

DHCP Select this item if you want a DHCP server to

assign an IP address to the printer. The IP address may automatically be changed by the server. For example, if the printer is restarted.

Item Description

Page 20

14 Chapter 3, Assigning the IP Address

ASSIGNING IP ADDRESSES USING RARP

The installation of a RARP program or service may be required in order to provide RARP IP address assignments on the LAN. The following steps address setting up RARP on Windows NT servers, but the same pr ocedur e can be applied to Solaris, etc.

1. From your W indows NT Server, start your RARP service or program.

2. Start NPM and highlight the printer that will be using RARP.

3. Double-click on the highlighted printer.

4. From the Network Interface window, click on the TCP/ IP tab.

5. Set the protocol to RARP from the pulldown IP Address Assignment Method ﬁeld.

6. Click on the OK button.

7. Power OFF your printer, then power it ON.

8. Verify that NPM is now listing your printer with a new IP address assigned by your RARP server.

ASSIGNING THE IP ADDRESS WITH DHCP

Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol (DHCP) allows automatic assignment of IP addresses and other IP parameters for attached devices. The T9412i(n) works with DHCP in the following way.

At power-up, the T9412i(n) NIC broadcasts a DHCP request for an IP address. If a DHCP server is present, the request will be processed, and an IP address will be returned to the NIC. Upon receipt of the IP address, the NIC resets, and prints a Network Settings Sheet. This shows the new IP address (and subnet mask, and default gateway, if any).

note: Under factory default set tings, once an IP address

has been assigned to it, the NIC will no longer broadcast DHCP requests. If you uncheck the IP Address in NVRAM, in the Network Administration Page, the printer will broadcast a DHCP request each time you turn on the printer.

The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a temporary lease or temporary reservation, which expires later, or may grant a permanent or unlimited lease or reservation which does not expire.

Devices that are granted a temporary lease will be notiﬁed before the lease expires and asked if they would like to extend the lease. The NIC will continue extending its lease indeﬁnitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP server conﬁguration), and thus maintain a consistent IP address.

note: If the NIC is not turned on or is not connected to

the network when the DHCP server is sending requests to extend the lease, the lease will not be extended. The DHCP server will cancel the lease and may assign the IP address to another device. Therefore, it is highly recommended to explicitly specify the NIC lease as permanent or unlimited in your DHCP server conﬁguration.

Verify that your printer was assigned an IP Address through the Network Conﬁguration Sheet, then start setting up your workstation to use the T9412i(n) printer.

Peer-to-peer printing allows Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 computers to print directly to a networked printer without an intervening ﬁle server. Below are the main features of peerto-peer printing.

• Runs on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 and workstations or servers “out of the box.”

• Runs on networks with or without a NetWare ﬁle server.

• Implements peer to peer direct printing between Windows computers and networked printers.

• You can conﬁgure network printers the same way you conﬁgure printers directly attached to a computer.

note: In isolated, serverless networks, the NIC should

be used with its factory default settings.

Adding A Peer-to-Peer Printer

Follow the steps below to install the peer-to-peer software.

note: All older versions of NPM, such as NEC 1800

CHAPTER 7

UNIX NETWORKS

INTRODUCTION

This section provides basic instructions for installing the printer on your UNIX system in Solaris 2.x and SCO. For additional information, refer to your operating system administration manuals.

CONFIGURING THE IP ADDRESS

The T9412i(n) must be assigned an IP address and routing parameters. We suggest you use the instructions in “Assigning the IP Address with NPM” on page 11.

SETTING UP YOUR PRINTING MODE

Use these instructions to set up the printer for SCO Open Server Enterprise 5.0 and Solaris 2.x.

Installing the Printer in Your System

lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network, without the need to install software on your workstation, and with all ﬁltering and banners done by the T9412i(n). Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.

The process begins when the LPR call ﬁnds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the

/etc/printcap ﬁle for that printer. LPR handles a print

job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote system and sending the data ﬁle (followed by the control ﬁle containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then ﬁlters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control ﬁle and its own printcap ﬁle.

The following sections give speciﬁc lpd setup instructions for various systems. You must log in as root in order to execute the commands.

Adding the Printer to Solaris 2.x

Log into your system as root. Add the printer’s IP address you already assigned into the /etc/hosts ﬁle. Using

lpsystem follow these steps to open a terminal and enter

the printer’s IP address from the command line.

1. lpsystem -t bsd <IP address of printer>

[ENTER]

Enter the T9412i(n) print server host name from the

/etc/hosts ﬁle. Your system may want its IP address

instead of the remote host name.

2. lpadmin -p <printername> -s <remote host

name or IP address> [ENTER]

note: There is no space after the remote host name.

3. Enable<printername> [ENTER]

4. Accept<printername> [ENTER] Then, make sure that the printer content type is set to PS by

typing lpstat -p -l to display the current printer settings. If it is not set to PS, type the following on the command line to change the printer settings.

5. lpadmin -p <printername> -I postscript

[ENTER]

6. lpadmin -p <printername> -T PS [ENTER]

note: Steps 5 and 6 apply only if the printer has a PS

SIMM.

7. Print a test page:

lpr -p <printername> /etc/hosts [ENTER]

To test that the printer was installed into the system, send a print job using any application in your operating system. Make sure that the printer you choose is the Tally T9412i(n) that you installed earlier.

note: If the printer does not have a PS SIMM, you may

experience “stepping text”.

To Fix “Stepping Text” in NPM

1. Select Operator Panel from the Settings drop-down list.

2. Select the Printer Menu tab.

3. Select Yes next to Auto Carriage Return.

4. Print a test page.

TALLY IPP CLIENT

Introduction

Tally Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a client-server type protocol that allows the server side to be either a separate print server or a printer with embedded networking capabilities.

The Tally IPP Client is a program that transmits data to the Tally IPP Server using Tally IPP.

The Tally IPP Server is installed in Xpress printers with the Network Interface Card (NIC).

The user is able to print by transmitting data to be printed through the Tally IPP Client program to the Tally IPP Server on the host computer supporting TCP/IP.

Tally IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. IPP supports network printing over the Internet as well as LAN environments. Since print data can be transmitted to distant printers, Tally IPP provides inquiry about the status of printers and print jobs.

IPP allows the user to do the following:

• Internet printing

• Multiple document handling

• Modiﬁcation of document properties

• View remote job queue

• View local job queue

• View printer status

• Validate the job before printing

Page 52

46 Chapter 8, Network Software

The Address Bar

The Address Bar consists of two buttons. One is for specifying the printer’s address, and the other is for inquiring about the printer’s attributes.

To retrieve printer attributes, the printer address has to be speciﬁed in the Links ﬁeld with the proper URL format, e.g.,

http://165.213.105.80:631.

To inquire about printer attributes or document data to be printed, the printer address should follow the URL format, i.e, http://printer’s_IP_address:631, where 631 is the port number for IPP.

The button for inquiring about printer attributes provides the same information that Printer Attributes under the Printer menu provides. Printer attributes are displayed in the printer attributes are displayed in the printer attributes window if the information is successfully retrieved. Click on the More Details… button for more information.

Allows the user to print speciﬁed documents.

Select File

Allows the user to select a document ﬁle to be printed from the print list in the document window.

Delete File

Allows the user to delete a document ﬁle to be printed from the print list in the document window.

Options Menu

This menu allows you to control functions of the IPP Client depending on the user’s settings. A submenu, Customize Options provides the following options.

Properties Retrieval Method

Allows the user to retrieve printer properties or attributes from either the local database, or the remote printer. The properties retrieval is performed as if “Contact printer” were selected for the following cases, even if “Take from local database” is selected.

1. Accessing the remote printer properties for the ﬁrst time.

2. The validation period of the properties in the local database is expired.

Validate the Job Before Printing

Allows the user to verify in advance whether the print data with the speciﬁed properties can be properly printed. If it is not possible to print the document with the speciﬁed properties, the printer will show the user a related message through the IPP Client and cancels data transmission for print job. This function enables the user to avoid unnecessary data transmission.

Attribute-ﬁdelity

This option can be selected to print the document only when user speciﬁed properties can be applied to the print job. If this option is selected and there is at least one property which cannot be applied to the document to be printed, the IPP

Client displays an appropriate message and the printer will not print the document. If this option is not selected, the printer prints the document with only the applicable properties.

Send All Job T emplat e Attr ibutes

The IPP Client transmits documents to be printed with the property information to the printer.

If this option is selected, the IPP Client transmits all property information deﬁned.

If this option is not selected, the IPP Client transmits only updated property information.

However, if the printer properties are retrieved with the “Take from local database” option, the retrieved properties might differ from the printer properties of the printer itself. In this case, the document might not print as expected. To avoid this kind of error, select this option.

Printer Property Information Validation Date

The user can specify a printer property validation period for the local database. The user can input a number by unit of “days.” If the validation period of the property information is expired, printer properties or information is retrieved from the printer instead of the local database. The validation period can have a value from 1 to 365.

Customizing

The user can customize print options depending on various environmental factors, such as network condition or a printer’s properties. The following options are recommended.

Choosing Printer Property Retrieval Method

Validate the Job before Printing

The user can validate a print job before data transmission for printing. Though this option causes more network load for veriﬁcation, the user transmits only data that can be printed. If the user does not select this option, transmission of a document that cannot be printed may occur resulting in unnecessary load to the network, IPP Client, and printer. Thus selecting this option is recommended when the network is fast.

Attribute-ﬁdelity

This option can be selected to print the document only if all speciﬁed properties can be applied to the print job.

Troubleshooting for NetWare 53

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR NETWARE

Use the Network Administration Page options to troubleshoot in an IPX environment. The checklists in this section show what to look for.

NetWare Checklist

• Is the NIC name entered correctly? The factory-default name is TAL/<Print Server Name> The serial number is on the back of the NIC and also shown at the top of the Network Conﬁguration Sheet.

• Did you assign print queues to the printer? It is recommended you assign each print queue to a speciﬁc printer NIC. If print queues are assigned to other network printers, the print jobs may be going to another network printer.

• Did you assign the printer to the type Remote Other /

Unknown?

If the above settings are correct, the connection between the printer and network may have been broken. Turn the printer off and, using PCONSOLE, wait for the status message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and the status should change to Waiting for Job.

File Server Checklist

• Is there enough disk space on the ﬁle server and is it running?

• Is the correct ﬁle server associated with the printer? Use PCONSOLE to check.

• Did you have the proper rights to conﬁgure the printer?

Computer Checklist

• Is the network loaded onto the computer? See your NetWare documentation.

• Is the application set up to print to the printer? Are you using the correct driver?

• Is the workstation connected to the correct print queue? Print a ﬁle and verify that the ﬁle goes to the queue.

• Are the print queues assigned to the NIC-connected printer also assigned to another network printer? If they

are, the print jobs may be going to that printer.

• Is AUTO ENDCAP enabled? AUTO ENDCAP lets you send data to a network printer . If it is not enabled, enable it.

• Are text ﬁles printing but graphic ﬁles not? The printing may be timing out. Use NetWare's PRINTCON or CAPTURE to set a longer time-out period. Set the time to at least two minutes for graphics applications.

NIC Conﬁguration Checklist

If all your hardware connections are correct, check the following

• The Network Conﬁguration Sheet shows the status for the selected network interface card. This report includes the status of ﬁle servers and queues assigned to a printer along with a description of any problems.

• Use NPM to ﬁnish checking the conﬁguration, see Chapter 8 starting on page 35 of this network guide.

NIC/File Server/Printer Checklist

Check to see if the NIC and ﬁle server are sending data to the printer. If the NIC cannot log onto the ﬁle server, or cannot service jobs from a ﬁle server

Use PCONSOLE to check if the print jobs are being sent to the printer. Be sure the print job is in the print queue and waiting to be printed.

Computer to NIC Connection Checklist

To make sure the computer is communicating with the NIC, perform these tests.

• Print a ﬁle from the workstation and make sure the print job gets to the print queue using PCONSOLE. If the print job does get to the queue, the problem is not with the workstation/NIC connection.

• Use CAPTURE to send data to the printer from a workstation software application. See your NetWare print server manual for information.

• Make sure another printer is not taking the print jobs from the queues before the NIC can service the job. To do this, disable the other printer and send another

Page 60

54 Appendix A, Troubleshooting

print job. NIC Loses Its File Server Connection: If the network

printer loses its connection to the ﬁle server, it will take approximately 5–10 minutes to reconnect. If the connection is not made after a reasonable amount of time, check the error conditions to troubleshoot the problem.

Unable to Print from a Different Context: You can print from any context providing you have sufﬁcient rights to the print queue context.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR M

ACINTOSH

• Is the Macintosh computer connected to the network through Ethernet, and has the correct network port been selected?

• Did you select the correct printer driver, zone, and printer name in the Chooser?

• If you renamed the printer in the Apple Printer Utility, you must turn the printer off then on, and then reselect the printer under its new name in the Chooser.

• If you placed the printer in a new zone, be sure you reselected the zone and the printer name in the Chooser.

• The default name for the printer is Xpress T9412n #, where # is the sequential number of T9412n printers installed. If a user changes the name of Xpress T9412n 2 to Mary’s Printer, the last printer in line will be reassigned the name Xpress T9412n 2, and the printer must be re-selected in the Chooser.

APPENDIX B

MICROSOFT IPP

INTRODUCTION

The Microsoft Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) allows printing over the Internet. Windows 2000 includes support for this protocol. There are several steps involved in implementing the Microsoft IPP Client program:

• Setting up the Xpress T9412i(n) printer

• Setting up the Server IIS

• Setting up a Win 2000 Client or

• Setting up a Win 95/98/Me Client

INSTALLING MICROSOFT IPP

Set Up the Xpress T9412i(n) Printer

Before a user can send a job to a print queue that is visible by means of print Web pages, driver ﬁles must be sent from the print server and installed on the user’s system. This installation operation occurs when a user views a print queue’s Web page and then selects its installation page. (The installation page cannot be replaced with a customized page.)

A user can install a URL-identiﬁed printer by running the Add Printer Wizar d explicitly. When a user speciﬁes a URL to the Add Printer Wizard, the client always connects to the server using http.

note: This installation method must be used when

installing printers that contain their own network cards and are therefore not connected to a server.

The installation process is not customizable beyond specifying the contents of the printer .inf ﬁle, which is the same .inf ﬁle used to install the printer on the print server.

You need to install the printer driver for Windows 2000 and connect the printer. The printer can be connected to LPT1 connected on a network.

1. In the Printers folder, select TallyXpress T9412 PS and right click on Tally Xpress T9412 PS Properties.

2. In the Tally Xpress T9412 PS Properties window, select the Ports tab and checkmark the desired port.

3. In the Sharing tab, select Shared as:.

4. Click on Additional Drivers… to install additional drivers for Win 95/98/Me.

5. In the Additional Drivers window, checkmark the Environments and Versions you want to have installed.

6. In the Insert Disk window click OK.

7. Provide a path for the .inf ﬁle from the Xpress T9412 Series Solutions CD.

For example, XpressT9412i(n)\Windows 9x\PCL6

Printer Driver\PlugnPlay

8. In the General tab, select Print Test Page to make sure the printer is connected correctly.

Page 64

58 Appendix B, Microsoft IPP

Setting Up Server IIS

1. In the Windows 2000 Server window, select Start –> Programs –> Administrative Tools –> Internet Services Manager.

2. In the Internet Information Services window, right click on Printers and select Properties.

3. In the Printer Properties window, select the Directory

Security tab, and click on Edit… in the Anonymous access and authentication control section.

4. Checkmark Anonymous access and click OK.

5. In the Virtual Directory tab, make sure Read is checked and the Local Path is correct in the Local Path section.

6. Run mmc and enable policies, being sure that Web-based printing On is enabled (the default if OFF.)

Setting up a Windows 2000 Client

1. Open IE http://131.241.45.116/printers/

131.241.45.166=IIS server.

2. Click on the printer you would like to install.

3. Under Printer Actions, click on Connect.

4. In the Add Web Printer Connection window, click Yes.

5. In the Digital Signature Not Found window, click Yes.

6. In the Enter Network Password window, ﬁll in User Name and Password, and click OK. Installation is done.

Setting Up a Windows 98/Me Client

The set up is the same for a Windows 98 or Windows Me Client as the set up for Windows 2000. In case you do not see the link Connect, you must install additional software from Microsoft to enable IPP support.

VIEWING PRINTER WEB PAGES

Users can view Web pages that display the status of a Windows 2000 print server and its connected printers with any Internet browser executing on any type of client platform. Microsoft provides a set of server-resident HTML ﬁles that generate these Web pages. Web pages for the print server and for each server-installed printer can be referenced by a client browser using URLs. Additional pages can be referenced by links from these pages.

For a Windows 2000 print server to support Web pages, it must be running either Windows 2000 Server software with the Microsoft Internet Information Server (ISS), or Windows 2000 Professional software with the Microsoft Peer Web Server.

To view a print server page, specify the following URL format:

HTTP://ServerName/Printers

where ServerName is the server name (either a DNS name for Internet connections, or a WINS name for Intranet connections.) The URL points to an HTML ﬁle that generates the print server’s page.

The server page provides a link to a print queue page for each print queue available on the server . Shar ed print queues can be accessed by all users. You can also reference the print queue pages for shared printers by specifying a URL with the following format:

HTTP://ServerName/ShareName

where ShareName is the print queue’s share name, as speciﬁed in its property sheet.

When you select a printer’s link within the print folder, Microsoft Internet Explorer is automatically started and the print queue pages’s URL is accessed. Alternately, as already described, you can view a print server page or a print queue page by specifying the page’s URL to any HTML browser.

APPENDIX D

UPGRADING THE NIC FIRMWARE

INTRODUCTION

Located on the network interface card (NIC) are ﬂash memory devices for storing the NIC ﬁrmware. The ﬁrmware contains instructions that are used by the NIC for communicating with a network. If for some reason the ﬁrmware must be upgraded, it can be easily done.

For information about NIC ﬁrmware upgrades, such as whether you need one or not, and how to receive them, visit Tally’s Web site at www.tally.com

PREREQUISITES

Before the NIC ﬁrmware can be upgraded, the following prerequisites must be met.

• The NIC must be installed in the printer (see Chapter 2), physically connected to a network, and the NIC must be conﬁgured (see Chapter 4).

• A Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 computer must be used for performing the upgrade.

• The computer must be conﬁgured to use TCP/IP. See your Windows User Guide or the Windows Help System for information about how to determine this.

• The IP Address for the computer must be known.

• The Network Printer Manager must be installed in the computer (see Chapter 3).

• A copy of the NIC ﬁrmware must be obtained from Tally’s Web site and stored on the computer.

note: Please be advised that the NPM utility used to

manage printers on a network does not support upgrading the ﬂash ﬁrmware across different networks. In order to circumvent this limitation, you need to install the NPM utility on a PC located on the same network as the printer you are interested in upgrading.

UPGRADE PROCEDURE

After the following procedure is completed, the printer will automatically reset itself so it can begin receiving print jobs.

Note: Some of the following steps may appear to be

slow because of network trafﬁc.

1. Click the Windows Start button, point to Programs, then Tally Printer Manager, and click Network Printer Manager to start the Tally Network Printer Manager.

Once the manager starts, it will begin searching the network for the printer. Every Xpress T9412i(n) printer that is found will be listed in the Network Printer Manager.

2. From the Maintenance menu, select Upgrade Firmware to open the Choose the Upgrade Firmware File dialog box.

3. From the list, select the printer that must have it’s NIC ﬁrmware upgraded.

4. Click Browse to open the Open dialog box.

5. Navigate to the location of the upgrade ﬁle then select it.

6. Click Open to return to the Choose the Upgrade Firmware File dialog box.

7. Click Start to begin upgrading the ﬁrmware.

8. When the upgrade is completed, click OK.

Ozone Emission 67

SAFETY INFORMATION

APPENDIX E

SAFETY INFORMATION

OZONE EMISSION

The corona assemblies found in laser printers and photocopiers generate ozone gas (O3) as a by-product of the electrophotographic process. Ozone is only generated while the printer is printing while the coronas are energized.

UL Standards for Ozone

The only existing standard for ozone emissions has been established by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All Tally Xpress family printers meet this standard when shipped from the factory to our customers.

Employer Responsibilities

Because ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencies have established limits to the amount of ozone to which employees may be exposed. The employer is responsible for providing a safe work environment that meets the agencies’ standards.

Recommendations for Minimizing Ozone Exposure

Almost all ozone concerns arise from abnormal site or operating conditions. The following conditions may generate an ozone complaint:

• Installation of multiple laser printers in a conﬁned area

• Extremely low relative humidity

• Poor room ventilation

• The exhaust port of the printer is directed towards the face of personnel

• Read the installation instructions carefully before you plug in your printer, and follow all warnings

• The existing ozone ﬁlter is in poor condition

• Long continuous printing is combined with any of the above

Inspect your work environment for the operating conditions listed above if you believe ozone emissions are a problem in your area. Some people may be ultra-sensitive to ozone odor. If these situations are encountered, it is advisable to position the printer away from the sensitive user.

Laser Safety

This printer is certiﬁed as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely conﬁned within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

CDRH Regulations

The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured after August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The printer’s front panel indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

Caution! Use of controls, adjustments, or

performance of procedures other that those speciﬁed in this user’s guide may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
