The printer board is connected to the system board with an ISA bus. The printer functions are provided as corresponding
with the system board. The printer board receives the print data from computers connected in local or network. The print
data are converted to compressed graphic data and sent to the system board. If the printer is connected in network, it can
be used in conjunction with the NIC, Network Interface Controller.
2.Features
(1) High-speed printing
The 64-bit RISC microprocessor “PowerPC603e-100MHz” is installed as the CPU, enabling high-speed processing
and printing of complex print data at 25ppm (DP2570) or 35ppm (DP3580).
(2) Printing up to A3 size
Printable page size range from A5 to A3 sized pages. A3 sized drawings and diagrams can be printed at full size.
(3) High-quality printing
The print resolution of 600 dpi meets the requirements of high-quality images created by wordprocessor, DTP, CAD
applications, etc. Even in the high-speed print mode with 300 dpi, the outline of characters, graphics, etc. is smoothprocessed for printing.
(4) Supporting PDL, PCL-5e, and PCL-XL.
PDL, PCL-5e, and PCL-XL are provided as standard printer drivers. Therefore, a printer driver suitable to the print
contents can be used for printing. PDL is compatible with PostScript level2 printer so that the printer can be used for
professional DTP document printing.
(5) Variety of Resident Fonts
45 fonts for PCL-5e, and 35 fonts for PDL are installed in the printer.
(6) Sort Mode, Stapling (Optional)
In this mode, printed documents can be sorted and stapled.
(7) Duplex Printing (Optional)
Printing on both sides of paper can be performed automatically to reduce paper consumption.
(8) Supporting Network (Optional)
The printer can be used as a network printer in environments of NetWare, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX and AppleTalk. It also
supports 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T/2 of Ethernet, as well as Token Ring.
In Windows 95/98/NT network environments, data can be output to the printer even in peer-to-peer network using an
exclusive utility without going through a server.

2.Examples of Connecting the Printer
The printer can be used in local connection (parallel connection), client-server type network, and peer-to-peer type network.
The optional network interface card is necessary when the printer is connected in client-server type or peer-to-peer type
network.
2.1Example of Connecting in Local Mode (Parallel Connection)
The printer is connected directly to a computer using a parallel interface on-board as the default interface. An optional parallel
cable is necessary.
2.2Example of Connection in a Client-server Type Network
The printer is shared with more than one computer connected though a server computer (NetWare server and Windows NT
server.)

1.3Notify Option
The print server enables the notification of users or user groups with Notify options if a problem occurs with the printer.
The print server supports the enhanced Notify options for printers, including informing users when:
•The printer is off-line.
•Paper jamming occurs or the cover is opened.
•The printer is out of paper or manual feeding is required.
•A form change is required or the printer has an engine failure.

candidates are notified. Enter a number for each interval and press the [Enter] key.
(10) Press the [Esc] key and then choose [Y es] after asked “Save Changes.” Press the [Esc] key at each screen until you
reach the [Print Server Configuration] menu. If you have finished the configuration, press the [Esc] key to save
changes.
1.4Identify the Preferred File Server
File server auto-searching is omitted and the time for starting up the printer is shortened by appointing the preferred file
sever.
When the Network Interface Card comes up, it automatically searches for and is attached to the file servers. The extent of
automatic searching is limited as follows extents:
•HopsUp to four hops
•TicksUp to eight ticks
The preferred file server can be identified at [Preferred File Server] of TopAccess. If a preferred file server is identified, the
Network Interface Card will attach to this identified file server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred file
server is also a primary file server (for example, has file servers listed under file servers to be serviced), the Network
Interface Card will attach directly to these file servers.
NOTE:
If the setting items of [Preferred File Server] are mistaken, problems may occur during printing
in NetWare.
3-3
1.5Identify the Primary File Server
The benefits of identifying the primary file server are:
•A file server not in the available extent for automatic search can be connected.
•A faster setup for starting the printer is performed. A computer will access to the primary file server and search the list
of file servers to be serviced. After searching is complete, the computer will connect directly to the file servers in the
list.
1.5.1Setting Procedure
(1) Select [File Server To Be Serviced] from the [Print Server Configuration] menu. The list of the file servers to be
serviced by the primary server appears.
(2) Press the [Insert] key, then the [Available File Servers] list appears.
(3) Select the name of the file server to be serviced and press the [Enter] key , then the selected name of the file server is
added to the [File Server To Be Serviced] list.
(4) After adding the desired file server to the list, press the [Esc] key to go back to the menu.
(5) Install the Network Interface Card to each of the primary file servers.
SUPPLEMENTS:
•The primary server can appoint file servers within the limitation for automatic search.
It is recommended to appoint the file servers as close as possible.
•After the primary file server and the list of the file servers to be serviced are found, automatic search is dropped and the print server will go to those file servers listed and to no
others.
