Board are included on two CD-ROMs. One is “Printer Drivers and Utilities”
which comes with this printer and the other is “Print Server Software and Doc-
umentation” which comes with optional Network Interface Board.
You can select any of the programs listed in the Configuration Programs.

Configuration Programs
The CD-ROM named "Printer Drivers and Utilities" includes the following utilities.

❖ PortNavi
IP Peer-to-Peer printing software
PortNavi is a utility that helps you to use network printers effectively. It is
useful in environments where two or more network printers are used. It is
recommended that you install PortNavi to use Parallel Printing and Recovery
Printing. For more information about PortNavi, see Help of PortNavi.
Note
❒ Parallel Printing and Recovery Printing are not available when you print
without using the PCL6/5e printer driver.
• PortNavi Features
Allow you to send a print job directly to the network printers without us-
ing a print server.
• Equally divide the number of copies to be printed among the selected
printers in the printer group (Parallel Printing).
Important
❒ The following settings must be the same for the specified printer and
the printers selected for Parallel Printing.
• Printers are the exact same model.
• Installed options (e.g. Paper Tray)
• Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray
• Total memory
• Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)
• Allow you to print documents using other printers in the printer group
when the specified printer is busy (Recovery Printing).
Important
❒ The following settings must be the same for the specified printer and
the printers selected for Recovery Printing.
• Printers are the exact same model.

2. Windows 95/98
Configuration
Windows 95/98 Configuration
This section describes how to configure Peer-to-Peer printing. The Peer-to-peer
printing software that is included on the CD-ROM labeled ”Printer Drivers and
Utilities” which contains PortNavi or “Print Server Software and Documenta-
tion” allows Windows 95/98 PCs to communicate directly with network at-
tached printers. A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not
required for Peer-to-peer printing.
There are three types of Peer-to-peer printing. You can select ”PortNavi”, “IP
Peer-to-Peer” and “IPX Peer-to-Peer” according to your network environment.
The Peer-to-peer printing software must be installed on each PC that uses Peer-
to-peer printing. Once Peer-to-peer printing software is installed, all Network
Interface Boards on the network automatically appear in the list of available
printer ports.
The Peer-to-peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers
are present; however, server based print services are often utilized instead. Serv-
er based print services offer centralized printing management and spooling and
do not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.
If you use the printer in a network where servers are present, select either Peer-
to-peer printing or the server based print service.

3. Windows NT 4.0
Configuration
Windows NT 4.0 Configuration
There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.
• If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services might be used by fol-
lowing the NetWare Configuration instructions in this guide.
• Peer-to-peer print services can be available by using “PortNavi” or “IP Peer-
to-Peer”.
• LPR print services can be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in
this section.
Windows NT printing is very flexible. It is possible to configure the individual
Windows NT or Windows 95/98 workstations to print using a different protocol
from the Windows NT server. For example, a Windows NT server could be con-
figured to print to Network Interface Board via TCP/IP using the instructions in
this section. Network Interface Board could then be designated as shared on the
NT server, allowing workstations to print via the NT server using a different
protocol (such as NetBEUI).
The optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends on the particular
environment and user as well as administrator experience and preferences. Gen-
erally, LPR printing over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the
best choice for environments where TCP/IP is already in use.

4. Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol(DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism for
delivering IP configuration parameters, including the IP address, subnet mask
and default gateway, to devices (hosts) on an IP network. A DHCP server man-
ages the pool of available IP addresses and grants device requests for an IP ad-
dress.
At power-up, Network Interface Board broadcasts a DHCP request for an IP ad-
dress. If a DHCP server is present, the request is processed, and an IP address is
returned to Network Interface Board. Upon receipt of the IP address, Network
Interface Board resets, and prints a network configuration page. The network
configuration page lists the new IP address (and Subnet mask and default gate-
way). Once an IP address has been assigned to Network Interface Board, it no
longer broadcasts DHCP requests.
Important
❒ The IP address of Network Interface Board assignment by DHCP works only
if Network Interface Board does not have an existing IP address.
The DHCP server leases a temporary IP address which expires after a period of
time, or leases a permanent or unlimited lease which does not expire.
Devices that are granted a temporary lease are notified before the lease expires
and asked if they want to extend the lease. Network Interface Board continues
extending its lease indefinitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP server config-
uration) and thus maintains a consistent IP address.
Important
❒ If Network Interface Board is not turned on or is not connected to the network
during the period when the DHCP server is sending requests to extend the
lease, the lease will not be extended. The DHCP server cancels the lease and
assigns the IP address to another device. Therefore, it is highly recommended
that you reserve an IP address for Network Interface Board in your DHCP
server configuration.
If you do not to use DHCP for IP address assignment, it can be disabled using
the NIB Setup Tool. The NIB Setup Tool allows you to use a Wizard or a Prop-
erty Sheet to configure Network Interface Board. Use the Property Sheet to dis-
able this feature. After you select Network Interface Board with the NIB Setup
Tool, click [Configure] and then click the [TCP/IP] tab. If you do not use DHCP, se-
lect [Specify an IP Address] and set the IP address, the subnet mask and the default
gateway address.

Changing the Printer Name


If the network has several same model printers, the names will be the same.
Printers that have the same name will have their names changed slightly in the
Chooser. For example, three printers named “printer” will appear in the Choos-
er as “printer0”, “printer1” and “printer2”.
Use applications such as Apple Printer Utility or LaserWriter Utility to change
printer names in the Macintosh EtherTalk environment. These utilities are dis-
tributed by Apple Computer, Inc.

7. UNIX Configuration

UNIX Configuration
UNIX printing utilizes a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct jobs to the printer.
With printer-based lpd, Network Interface Board acts as the line printer daemon
host and accepts print jobs directly.
TCP/IP configuration of Network Interface Board is needed for all versions of
UNIX. See the “Owner's Manual” (Type 450–E Manual) for lpd configuration.
Note
❒ Be sure to turn the printer off and on after changing the network configura-
tion.
Reference
For information about setting IP parameters, see “Configuring the Printer for
the Network” in “Printer Reference 1” that comes with the printer.

Setting the IP Address


The IP address of Network Interface Board may initially be set in a variety of
ways; including with the MAP utility when a NetWare server is present, with
the UNIX bootp daemon, with rarp, or with the standard UNIX command line
utility, arp.
The following instructions use arp, but the other methods may be used instead,
depending on user preference.
For more information about using one of the other methods, see the “Owner's
Manual” (Type 450–E Manual).

A Turn the printer off and then on and wait for the power-up network status
page to print.

B Add an entry to the hosts file (usually etc/hosts) that includes the printer's
name and the IP address.
For example, to name the printer and associate it with an IP address of
197.42.211.5, place the following entry in the hosts file:197.42.211.5 <Printer-
Name>

C At the UNIX command prompt, type: arp -s <desired_IP_address>


<NIB_Ethernet_address>
(The Ethernet address is listed on the network status page as Network Ad-
dress.)
For example, arp -s 197.42.211.5 00:40:AF:13:A2:70

43
UNIX Configuration

D At the UNIX command prompt, type: ping <desired_IP_address>


For example, ping 197.42.211.5. Network Interface Board will not respond to
this ping command, but will read the IP address.

E After a few minutes (usually between one and two minutes, but possibly
up to five minutes on very large or busy networks), Network Interface
Board will reset and print its network status page.
The new IP address will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section.
If the status page is not printed, recheck the Ethernet address of Network In-
terface Board entry in the arp command.
Once the status page is printed, the new IP address may also be verified with
the ping command.

Setting Other TCP/IP Parameters


Once the IP address is set, Network Interface Board can be configured via telnet
or with a standard web browser.
The following steps describe configuration with a standard browser.
For more information about configuring via telnet, see the “Owner's Manual”
(Type 450–E Manual).

A In the browser, connect to http://<NIB_IP_address>


7 For example, http://197.42.211.5

B At Home Page of Network Interface Board, click Network Configuration.


C Many of the configuration options are password protected.
The default password is: sysadm
The password is case sensitive.
To change the password, select Change Password in the System column.

D Select Setup TCP/IP in the Protocols column and change the settings as ap-
propriate.
If unsure of the correct Subnet mask, and the first number in the IP address
of Network Interface Board is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the
Subnet mask.

E Type the sysadm password in the appropriate box and click Accept Set-
tings.
After a few seconds, the screen should report that the update was successful.
Click the Back Arrow icon twice to return to the Network Configuration page.

F Optional: Click Configure Status Page in the Printer column to define pow-
er-up status page settings, for example, disabling the power-up status page.

44
UNIX Configuration

G The changes made to Network Interface Board do not take effect until the
unit is reset.
Click Reset in the System column and click Reset Unit.
After a few seconds, a message should appear on the screen saying that the
unit was reset.
TCP/IP configuration is now complete.
