Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1-4 July 1998

1.5 Upgrading from a Kodak 10Mbit NIC

The Kodak 10/100 Mbit NIC may be used to upgrade any Kodak printers

that are currently using a Kodak 10Mbit NIC with a ÒMIL-3007EKÒsticker

on the bottom of the NIC.

Note: This manual is applicable only to Kodak printers using this Kodak

10/100 NIC upgrade relative to NIC conÞguration methods.

1.6 Kodak 10/100 NIC Features

The NIC is an autodetecting 10 or 100 Mbps, network interface card that

allows users to connect directly to a Kodak printer or proofer on Ethernet

networks using 10BaseT or 100BaseT network media.

The NIC connects printers directly to Ethernet networks utilizing IPX,

EtherTalk, TCP/IP and/or NetBios/Netbeui protocols in support of Novell

NetWare 3.x, Netware 4.x, Netware NDS, IBM OS/2, MS-DOS, Windows

3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Macintosh and

Unix environments. In general, any system that supports the NIC

protocols should be able to use this NIC to print to Kodak printers.

1.6.1 Hardware Features

¥ NIC motherboard, with Ethernet controller and custom shared DMA

interface to Kodak printer. The NIC connects directly to Ethernet

networks via an RJ-45 connector.

¥ CPU: An Intel 80186 processor, with a 16 MHz clock.

¥ 1 MByte of memory via Flash EPROMs: 2 Flash EPROMs are 29F040

devices. Each EPROM is 4 Mbits and arranged in 2

256k

8 format.

Firmware upgrades of the ßash EPROMs can be done via network

connections.

¥ MAC chipset: Ethernet controller is 10/100 Mbps, with SRAM for data

buffering, and its own memory management.10 Mbit vs. 100 Mbit

autosensing accommodates network speed capabilities.

¥ 2 switches on the NIC faceplate provide Normal, Normal + Telnet, and

NIC conÞguration test page modes of NIC operation.

¥ Green and Yellow LEDs indicate network connectivity and trafÞc.

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

July 1998 1-5

1.7 Protocols

¥ The NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell IPX, EtherTalk and NetBeui/NetBios

protocols.

¥ Users can print in either PostScript or raster mode.

IMPORTANT: Printing in raster mode using EtherTalk is possible only

from a Macintosh. For non-Macintosh systems using

EtherTalk, you can print only in PostScript mode.

1.8 Network Performance

Network performance depends heavily on the topology of a network

(networked elements, that is, the # of users/nodes, inter-connectivity and

conÞguration of hubs, switches, subnets, routers, etc.) and will vary for

speciÞc environments.

A color-capable printer accepting large print jobs (1 to 100 Mbytes) may

be a critical factor in environments where network utilization optimization

is critical. A Kodak printer with a Kodak 10/100 NIC operating in a 100

Mbit environment may drastically improve your networkÕs performance

because it will only require a fraction (1/10) of the subnet network

bandwidth that would be necessary if it was operating at 10 Mbits.

1.9 NIC and Printer Installation/ConÞguration Overview

The diagram on the next page and the text that follows provide an

overview of

NIC and printer installation and conÞguration procedures.

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1-6 July 1998

Step 1:Determine your Network and Printing Environment. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)

NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell Netware, AppleTalk & Native Windows (NetBeui) Protocols.

Step 2: Gather Necessary Hardware & Software Components. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)

NIC, NIC ConÞg S/W, Printer, Printer ConÞg S/W, i.e.PostScript Drivers and Raster Export

Modules

NIC Pre-installed in Printer? Step 3: Install the NIC in the Printer.

(Ch2:NIC Install) Requires NIC, Phillips or

T10 Torque Screwdriver, and Static Strap.

Yes

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC. (Ch3:FastManage, Ch9:Apple/Macintosh, Appendix: A Telnet)

Recommendation: Use defaults until successful network printing is demonstrated.

Complete the following if using TCP/IP. (TCP/IP minimally requires an IP Address).

The quickest method (when IP = 0.0.0.0) is to use ÒarpÓ and ÒtelnetÓ commands.

1) Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) and power cycle printer.

2) Use arp -s <IP Address> <NIC Ethernet Address>

3) Use telnet <IP Address> 2002.

5) Follow Telnet Ethernet>TCP/IP>Set IP menus to set IP address and then Reset the NIC.

6) Power cycle the printer.

Use Server

Print Queues?

Step 5:ConÞgure Server (Ch4:Novell, Ch7/8 Windows

NT, Ch10:Unix)

Yes

Step 6: ConÞgure Workstations for PostScript and/or Raster Mode Printing. (Ch5-8

Windows, Ch9 Macintosh)

Install proper PostScript Driver (for printer in PostScript mode) and/or Kodak Export Module

plug-in (for printer in raster mode).

Step7:Printer in PostScript Mode

(Ch11:Printing)

Use File > Print

from Applications and

Select the Kodak Printer.

Step7:Printer in Raster Mode

(Ch11:Printing)

Use File > Export

from Adobe PhotoShop and Select

the Kodak Printer.

Printer/NIC Installation and ConÞguration Overview

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

July 1998 1-7

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment

Consult with your system/network administrator regarding

¥ Protocols: Determine the network protocol(s) (TCP/IP, Novell IPX,

AppleTalk and/or NetBIOS) to use for communicating to the printer/

NIC.

¥ NIC ConÞguration Platform: Determine the platform that is appropriate

for conÞguring NIC network parameters.

¥ Servers: Determine any servers that will be used to spool and manage

jobs sent to corresponding printer queues.

¥ Printing Platforms: Determine the workstation platforms that will be

used for creating and sending print jobs.

Step 2: Gather the necessary components

¥ Hardware: Kodak printer, Kodak 10/100 NIC, and network cabling

certiÞed for 10 or 100 Mbit operation depending on the speed of your

network.

¥ Networking components: Networking components (cables, converters,

hubs, etc.) are not included with the NIC. You must purchase

interconnecting networking components needed to support a speciÞc

environment separately.

If a BNC (10Base2) connection is required, purchase a BNC/RJ45

transceiver or hub from your local dealer or distributor.

If a direct RJ45 (10/100BaseT) connection from a single computer to

a printer is required, a mini-hub and two network cables should be

used, minimally. We do not recommend using an Rx/Tx crossover

cable to defeat the need for a hub because it is a custom cable that

may not be available from a local dealer/distributor. Refer to the RJ54

connector description in Appendix D.

¥ NIC ConÞguration Software: Determine the NIC conÞguration utility

software appropriate for the platform. Use FastManage Utilities

(provided) or NBMon for Windows platforms, Laserwriter Utilities

(provided) for Macintosh platforms. Telnet (not provided) can be used

for any platform that supports TCP/IP.

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1-8 July 1998

¥ Windows & Macintosh Printer ConÞguration Software: PostScript

drivers for Kodak printers for printing when the printer is in PostScript

mode and Export modules for printing when the printer is in raster

mode. For Unix platforms, refer to Appendix E, Technical Assistance.

¥ Printer/NIC documentation and software: If you cannot locate the

software that came with your printer and NIC, the latest printer and

NIC documentation and software are available on the Kodak Web site

(www.kodak.com). You may wish to copy components that are

pertinent to your printer and NIC to a local server for quick access by

those who are responsible for setting up their individual workstations.

Note: If you have problems related to printer or NIC software, check

the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) to verify that you have

the latest version. Download the latest version, if necessary.

Step 3: Install the NIC hardware, if necessary

¥ Install the NIC in the Kodak printer, if necessary. Refer to the NIC

Hardware Installation chapter for installation details and to verify

proper NIC operation on powerup.

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC from the desired platform

¥ NIC Defaults: We recommend that you use the default parameters

initially until the printer functions on your network.

¥ NIC ConÞguration SW: If you decide not to use the defaults, install the

remote conÞguration software utilities appropriate for the platform.

Refer to the appropriate chapter for details.

using NIC FastManage, NBMon or Telnet utilities. Refer to the

Windows FastManage Utility chapter.

¥Macintosh: The NIC may be conÞgured from Macintosh-based

platforms using NIC LaserWriter utilities. Refer to the Apple Macintosh

- Laserwriter Utilities section. Telnet may also be used.

¥Unix: Use Telnet utilities.

¥Telnet: The NIC may be conÞgured from any platform supporting TCP/

IP via TELNET utilities after an IP address has been established.

Refer to Appendix A, Telnet.

IMPORTANT: This 10/100 NIC is configurable ONLY by using remote

configuration utilities listed above. Use of the front control

panel and corresponding test page is not pertinent to this

NIC.

Step 5: ConÞgure the print servers, if necessary

Determine whether server print queues will be used and conÞgure the

appropriate servers.

Chapter 4 describes how to conÞgure Novell servers.

Procedures for conÞguring Windows NT servers are identical to

procedures for conÞguring Windows NT workstations with the exception

of ÒsharingÓ the printer. Refer to Windows NT chapters.

Step 6: ConÞgure the printer on workstations

Determine the printer modes (PostScript and raster) that will be used.

Install the PostScript and raster printer software.

PostScript mode: PostScript printer drivers or PPDs must be installed on

each platform that prints to the printer.

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1-10 July 1998

Raster mode: Printer drivers (referred to as Export Modules) must be

installed on each platform that prints (exports) Þles to the printer. Export

modules are used with Adobe PhotoShop and with the Kodak Printer

Calibration Utilities. Applications that are Adobe Photoshop Plug-in

module-compliant could also use a Kodak printer export module.

Platform Print Drivers: Kodak develops printer-speciÞc drivers and

export modules for Macintosh and most PC platforms. Drivers for other

platforms (that is, Unix) may be available through alternate vendors who

support Kodak printers. Refer to Appendix E if necessary.

If a Kodak driver is not available for a particular platform, you can use a

generic PostScript driver; however, it may not support all printer features.

Step 7: Printing

Refer to Chapter 11, Printing, for information about mode selection and

printing to Kodak printers in PostScript or raster mode.

Troubleshooting

Refer to chapter 12, Troubleshooting, before contacting your retailer

(1st)or Kodak (2nd) for technical assistance.

2 NIC Installation and Veriﬁcation

This chapter describes how to install the NIC in the Kodak XLS 8400 and

8600 printers, the Kodak Digital Science 8650 printer, the Kodak

Professional 8657 printer, the Kodak Digital Science Desktop Color

Proofer 9000, and the Kodak Digital Science DCP 9300 Proofer. It also

describes how to run the veriﬁcation test using the default conﬁgurations

after the NIC is installed. See the last part of this chapter for information

about NIC LEDs and operating mode switches for power-up hardware

veriﬁcation.

For a fee, you may have a Kodak service representative install the NIC in

the printer. This fee covers hardware installation only. Network setup

tasks are still your responsibility. If you install the NIC yourself, you are

responsible for any damage that occurs during installation.

2.1 Equipment Requirements

When installing a new NIC or replacing a NIC, you need

• a Phillips-head or Torque-head (T15) screwdriver. Check the rear of

the printer to determine the screwdriver you need.

• network cabling certiﬁed for 10 and/or 100 Mbit operation depending

on the speed of your network. The Kodak Printer and NIC support

10BaseT or 100BaseT cabling directly. For 100 Mbit operation, use

category 5 (CAT 5), unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling.

2.2 Preparing the Kodak 8400/86xx series Printers

1. Turn off and unplug the printer.

NIC Installation and Verification

about six inches.

The proofer is ready. Continue to Section 2.4.

2.4 Installing or Removing the NIC

Do as follows to install and seat the NIC.

Note: To remove a NIC, complete these steps in reverse order. On some

printers/proofers, you may need to squeeze the standoffs with

pliers to remove the NIC.

1. Remove the NIC from its antistatic bag.

NIC Installation and Verification

July 1998 2-5

2. Hold the card so that the printer connector is facing down and the

network cable receptacle is toward you.

3. Tilt the card at about a 30-degree angle, and slide the front into the

NIC slot. Seat the card by positioning the connector on the bottom of

the card against the receptacle on the mother board. Press the card

gently into place.

The network cable receptacle should be accessible through the front

of the slot.

4. Secure the NIC faceplate to the printer / proofer back plate by

replacing the three screws you removed.

5. Grasp the handles on the back of the printer and slide the back of the

printer in.

6. Replace any back panel screws that you removed.

7. Attach the Ethernet cable to the network cable receptacle on the NIC.

8. Plug in the power cord.

2.5 Printing a NIC Conﬁguration Test Page

Note: Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected.

1. Set the Operational Mode Switches in Test Page Mode (D1 Down, D2

Up). A NIC Conﬁguration Test Page will be generated when the printer

reaches its READY state.

2. Power up the printer. The NIC will do a self-test at startup.

3. Check the LEDs during the Power Up/ Initialization phase. The

following should occur:

NIC Installation and Verification

2-6 July 1998

The green Link LED should come ON and remain ON until the printer

reaches READY.

The yellow Net Trafﬁc should blink 3 to 4 times a second until the

printer reaches READY.

This process may occur twice; the NIC will start a power up sequence

and then the printer will issue an additional NIC reset during the printer

initialization sequence.

4. Check the LEDs again after the printer reaches READY. Ready

indicates the NIC is connected to the network.

The green Link LED should come ON and remain ON (this indicates

that there is connectivity to a network hub/switch).

The yellow Net Trafﬁc LED should blink intermittently as it detects

trafﬁc on the network.

If the LEDs do not behave as described above, refer to page 12-3.

There is also the possibility that the NIC may be defective.

5. Check the NIC Conﬁguration test print. Keep it to refer to when

conﬁguring NIC network-related parameters.

If you have taken the default settings and will not be using TCP/IP

, the

installation is complete. Proceed to the chapter that describes

installing the printer on your system.

If you will be using TCP/IP

, continue to section 2.8.

Note: Do not confuse this “NIC conﬁguration” test page with the “Printer”

test page that is produced from the printer front control panel. This

10/100 NIC is completely conﬁgured using remote conﬁguration

utilities. If you are not using NIC factory defaults and are concerned

with discrepancies between test pages, you should also enter

pertinent parameters, i.e.,TCP/IP address, via the front control

panel.

NIC Installation and Verification

July 1998 2-7

2.6 NIC Faceplate

The illustration below shows the NIC faceplate (as seen from the rear of

the printer after installation).

Switches: D1 and D2 are operation mode switches; they are shown in

Normal Operation Mode for printing (D1 & D2 Up).

LEDs: NET (Yellow) and LNK (Green) LEDs show network trafﬁc and

connectivity.

Ethernet Address: A unique NIC Ethernet address is assigned to each

NIC (i.e. 0040C8 1234AB). The ﬁrst six digits are always 00:40:C8. The

last six digits are unique to each NIC.

Network Broadcasts: The NIC uses its Ethernet address to advertise

itself on Macintosh via Appletalk and on Windows via NetBeui as

“KDxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” are the last six digits of the address. For

example, a NIC with the address 0040C81234AB would advertise itself

as KD1234AB throughout.

2.7 Operation Mode Switches

Refer to the following table to select a NIC operating mode.

Selecting a NIC Operating Mode

D1 D2 Mode Description

Up Up Normal Default. Does not allow a telnet connection. Users can print to

the unit.

Up Down Telnet

Diagnostic Allows a telnet connection to change its parameters. Users

can also print.

Down Down Reset to

Power cycle the device whenever you reset the switches. When ﬁnished in

any mode, return the switches to Normal or Telnet mode, then power

cycle the device again for printing.

2.8 Conﬁguring the Network Parameters

If you will be using TCP/IP, conﬁgure the NIC networking parameters.

TCP/IP requires an IP address. You can set this up using Arp, then use a

NIC conﬁguration utility to save the IP address.

Note: Default conﬁguration parameters should sufﬁce for getting started

with IPX, EtherTalk or NetBeui protocols.

To use TCP/IP:

1. Set the operating mode switches to Telnet (D1 Up, D2 Down).

2. Power cycle the printer/NIC.

3. Map an IP address to the NIC Ethernet address using Arp.

Note: You can use Arp only if the computer supports TCP/IP and the

existing IP address is 0.0.0.0. If an IP address already exists,

change it using a NIC conﬁguration utility.

Use the syntax your system requires for mapping an IP address to the

hardware address. If needed, obtain the syntax using your system

help.

EXAMPLE: for MS-DOS, when the hardware address =

0040C8:1234AB and the IP address = 2.4.6.8, type:

arp -s 2.4.6.8 00-40-C8-12-34-AB

Note: If an error occurs, type arp or arp /help for the proper syntax for

your system.

4. To use Telnet (with MS-DOS), type telnet 2.4.6.8 2002

Note: 2002 is the NIC’s diagnostic port.

Down Up Test Page A parameter test page is generated when you power cycle the

printer. Print jobs are not accepted. NOTE: The printer must

be in PostScript mode. For raster-only printers, obtain the

parameters via a Telnet session.

Selecting a NIC Operating Mode

NIC Installation and Verification

July 1998 2-9

Follow the telnet menu to set the TCP/IP address; save it using the

NIC Reset command and then power cycle the printer.

If needed, see the platform-speciﬁc chapters for details on conﬁguring

NIC network-related parameters from that platform.

Next, you need to conﬁgure the computers for printing. Refer to the

platform-speciﬁc chapters for details.

3 Windows - FastManage ConÞguration Utilities

Windows FastManage Utilities: FastManage Utilities allow you to

conÞgure the NIC remotely from Windows platforms. They provide

complete control over all network protocols and related parameters via a

graphical user interface.

Alternate Method: You can also use Telnet to conÞgure and troubleshoot

the NIC from any platform that supports TCP/IP communications. Refer to

Appendix A for information on using Telnet.

Initial NIC check and printer setup using Win 95/NT Network

Neighborhood: If you have network browsing capabilities and you select

Workgroup, you should be able to see the printer/NIC initially advertising

itself as KDxxxxxx, where ÒxxxxxxÓ is consistent with the last six digits of

the Ethernet address for the NIC. This is just an initial check that the NIC

is functioning on your network. You must still use conÞguration utilities to

conÞgure non-default network parameters. If you are comfortable with

NIC conÞguration defaults, then you could select the ÒKDxxxxxxÓ printer/

NIC. Windows will prompt you to install a print driver, if necessary. After

installing an appropriate printer driver, you will be able to select the printer

within an application ÒPrintÓ window and and print to that printer.

3.1 FastManage Features

FastManage consists of the following applications:

¥Discovery Application: Used to Þnd devices that have an SNMP

agent on the network. An icon is displayed for each discovered device.

¥Kodak NIC Manager: Used to Þnd and conÞgure Kodak10/100 NICs

used in Kodak printers.

¥BOOTP Server: Allows you to assign IP addresses dynamically to

devices on the network.

¥Ping: A stand-alone program for debugging. You can ping the NIC IP

address to verify that is functional via the network.

¥On-line help: A list of available help options.

¥Uninstall FastManage: Removes FastManage from a system.

Windows - FastManage Configuration Utilities

3.1.1 FastManage Hardware Requirements

FastManage requires:

¥ A 486 Pentium PC, 66 Mhz computer or higher

¥ 16 MB of RAM or higher

¥ At least 4 MB of free disk space

¥ Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher

¥ Ethernet card installed

FastManage runs as a stand-alone tool (that is, users need not have any

TCP/IP packages on their systems). However, if a system has any

Winsock compatible TCP/IP stacks (that is, PC/TCP, Chameleon, or LAN

Workplace), FastManage will co-exist with these packages. FastManage

runs on top of public domain packet drivers as well as ODI drivers.

3.1.2 Software Requirements

IP ConÞguration

¥ Packet or ODI Driver must be loaded for the PC network interface.

¥ For ODI Drivers, add the following line to the net.cfg Þle:

Frame Ethernet_II

IPX ConÞgurations

¥ Novell 4.1 Drivers for Windows and DOS. Refer to the Novell Netware

Documentation for information.

¥ ODI Driver must be loaded for the PCÕs network interface.

3.2 Extracting Files from the Windows Utilities Diskette

The NIC.exe Þle on the diskette is a compressed archive of DOS/

Windows for conÞguring the NIC networking parameters. To effectively

manage these Þles, do as follows:

1. Create a KODAK directory/folder on your hard drive, then copy the

NIC.exe Þle to that folder

2. From a RUN or MS-DOS window, type NIC -d to extract and

decompress the directories and Þles.

DOS and FASTMAN directories and Þles appear in the KODAK

directory. The FASTMAN directory contains the Kodak FastManage

Utility Setup Þles that are used when running setup.exe.The DOS

directory contains the PrintMon and NBMon utilities that are used to

detect and conÞgure the NIC in a DOS environment.

3.2.1 Setting up the FastManage Utilities

To set up the FastManage utilities, run setup.exe (in the FASTMAN

directory), then follow the on-screen prompts. We recommend using the

FM default installation directory.

The default installation directory, FM, will contain the Kodak Fast Manage

Utilities for Windows, including Discovery, NIC Manager, and BOOTP. You

access the utilities, which are graphical user interfaces for detecting and

conÞguring NICs in your network environment, from the Start/Program

menu.

3.4 FastManage - Discovery Application

The Discovery application detects network SNMP manageable devices

on IP, IPX, and NetBEUI (NetBIOS) networks.

On IP networks, Discovery supports and performs the following:

¥ Reads entries from a local host table and sends an SNMP query to

each.

¥ Pings a local broadcast address to detect all devices.

¥ Detects the current subnet devices using the subnet mask and the IP

address of the device.

¥ Through SNMP traps, FastManage sends a power-on trap at powerup

if they are conÞgured with a manager address.

Discovery options are conÞgurable and are stored in the issnmp.ini Þle.

Discovery uses the thumbnail (icon) to identify an SNMP device and then

displays it to represent the product. Click the thumbnail once to display

information for that device. Double-click the thumbnail to launch the

device.

proofers with the 10/100 NIC.

The name or address of a discovered device is displayed below the

device. These names are based on certain criteria. For example:

¥KdxxxxxxÑThis device was discovered by the IPX protocol (where

xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Ethernet address. For example, a

device with an Ethernet address of Ò0040C00702CA,Ó will have an IPX

SAP name of Kd0702CA). You cannot change this name.

Windows - FastManage Configuration Utilities

July 1998 3-11

¥SNMPAxxxxxxÑThis device was discovered by the SNMP over

NetBIOS (where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

For example, a device with an Ethernet address of Ò0040C00702CA,Ó

will have a NetBIOS name of Kd0702CA). You cannot change this

name.

¥UNKNOWNÑThis device was discovered by the IP protocol; however,

there was no entry in the host table relating to this device. You can add

a name to the device by creating an input entry into a local hosts Þle

on your workstation, i.e. \fm\hosts. Use a standard text editor to do

this. You can change this name.

3.10 NetBeui Browsing and Sharing Abilities

When a client machine comes up on the network, it usually comes up in a

pre-conÞgured workgroup. The default workgroup for all NetBIOS

machines (including the Kodak NIC) is named Workgroup. When users

look for devices on the network, they normally see only those devices in

their workgroup. Windows 95 allows a user to browse multiple

workgroups, to choose a speciÞc workgroup, and then to view the devices

inside that workgroup. There must be at least one PC workstation in each

workgroup to store a list of all the other devices in that workgroup. That

PC is the BrowseMaster. The BrowseMaster is checked by the NetBIOS

clients without any user intervention.

The NIC cannot act as a BrowseMaster. For example, a NetBIOS

workstation is on a workgroup (for example, ÒMyCompanyÓ) and the

printer/NIC is installed on the network. The NIC will come up and

advertise itself in the default workgroup called workgroup. A user who

browses the network (using Net View or Network Neighborhood

applications) will not see the printer/NIC or even see a workgroup called

workgroup, because there is not at least one workstation in the

workgroup with the printer/NIC.

To solve this problem:

1. Connect to the printer/NIC.

2. Store a new NetBIOS workgroup name using either FastManage

package, nbmon.exe, or any other conÞguration tool.

3. Once connected to the printer/NIC, go to the Network Protocol

section, then to Microsoft SMB.

4. Change the property called NetBIOS Workgroup.

5. Change the workgroup name to the same as in the workgroup (that is,

MyCompany).

Users should now be able to browse the printer/NIC just as they would

any normal NetBIOS client.

As an alternative:

1. Use the net use or net view command without having the printer/NIC

in the same workgroup as the workstation.

2. Fill in the proper NetBIOS name of the printer/NIC.

Windows - FastManage Configuration Utilities

3-32 July 1998

3. Enter net? at a DOS prompt for more information about the utilities.

3.10.1 DOS Tools for NetBIOS

If you have problems installing and using the NetBIOS management

tools, the following suggestions might help:

¥ When using the showprn.exe tool, and the printer/NIC does not

appear, issue the command with a -d0, -d1 or -d2 switch:

showprn.exe -d1

This causes showprn to use an alternate stack to send the packet.

This problem shows up sometimes in systems that have multiple NICs

or multiple protocols loaded. If a -d1 switch was used with the

showprn.exe tool, use it on the NBMON command line.

¥ If the IPX protocol is loaded and running on a system running

Windows 95, the check box for Send NetBIOS over IPX should not be

checked.

Send NetBIOS over IPX is located in the Control Panel--> Network-

-> IPX Compatible Protocol screen.

¥ Open up the Control Panel, Networks screen. Choose NetBEUI

protocol. Check the checkbox marked Set this Protocol to be the

Default Protocol. In Windows 95, it is located in the Advanced

Options window.

Chapter 1 for overall conÞguration process steps and details. This chapter

describes the conÞguration of Novell Netware print servers and queues.

4.1 NetWare Client Installation Overview

In general, to install on a NetWare workstation, determine whether the

Kodak printer/NIC will be installed in:

¥ NetWare 2.x, 3.x, 4.x bindery emulation environment

¥ NetWare 4.x NDS environment

¥ Netware AppleTalk (ATPS) environment.

Note: For complete information on using NetWareÕs client utilities, refer to

the NetWare documentation.

4.2 ConÞguring in a Bindery Environment

The Kodak printer/NIC can be conÞgured to service up to 16 print queues

on 16 different bindery style NetWare servers (NetWare 2.x, 3.x, 4.x). If

you are not using NetWare Directory Services (NDS), disable it.

4.2.1 Configuring using PCONSOLE

Refer to the NetWare documentation for information on using the

PCONSOLE command.

To conÞgure the KODAK NIC using the PCONSOLE command:

1. Create a print server called KDxxxxxx through PCONSOLE.

where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the unitÕs Ethernet address.

2. Create a queue for the printer using PCONSOLE.

3. Assign the queue created above to the print server KDxxxxxx.

4. Power cycle the printer.

The queue will send data to the printer.

5. Set up the preferred server name on the NIC, using NIC conÞguration

utilities for Windows.

Note: For more information on setting the preferred server name, see

Chapter 3, Windows - FastManage ConÞguration Utilities.

4.3 ConÞguring in an NDS Environment

4.3.1 Configuring Your NDS Server using PCONSOLE

To conÞgure the NIC using PCONSOLE:

1. Run PCONSOLE using the following command (from the /public

directory on the server):

pconsole

2. Using the arrow keys, select Quick Setup and press [Enter].

3. In the Print Services Quick Setup window, select Print Server and

press [Enter].

4. Press [Insert] to create the Print Server Object for the NIC.

The name must have eight characters. Begin with ÒKDÓ and end with

the last six digits of the hardware address (found on the NIC

faceplate or NIC conÞguration test page). For example, if the

hardware address of a printer is Ò0040C81234AB,Ó create a print

server named KD1234AB.

Note: The print server name is not case sensitive.

5. After creating the print server object, select New Printer and press

[Enter].

6. Enter a name for the new printer object used by the printer. The name

should be less than 256 characters, including the context. The print

server will service only one printer per NDS Server.

7. After adding the new printer object, select New Print Queue and

press [Enter].

8. Type the name of a Queue (that the printer will service).

The queue name must be less than 256 characters, including the

context. By default, all queues are serviced by the printer.

Note: If a user ID page is desired, the type of banner should be

ÒPostScriptÓ (not ÒtextÓ) for PostScript mode print jobs. The banner

must be OFF for Raster mode print jobs since ÒPostScriptÓ or ÒTextÓ

banners will cause the print job to fail (Printer will process job and

return to ÒREADYÓ without generating a print).

4.3.2 Configuring the NIC for NDS

ConÞgure a DS Tree Name and DS Context Name on the NIC. (You can

also use FastManage to conÞgure these two parameters.)

4.4 ConÞguring in a Mixed Bindery and NDS Environment

The Kodak printer/NIC can operate in a mixed Bindery/NDS environment.

Adhere to the following restrictions:

¥ The Kodak printer/NIC can service up to 16 queues (NDS and/or

Bindery) on a total of 16 servers.

¥ The Kodak printer/NIC cannot service bindery queues and NDS

queues on the same server (i.e., two simultaneous connectionsÑone

bindery, one NDSÑon the same server).

¥ The Kodak printer/NIC can service NDS queues in only one tree.

Novell NetWare

4-8 July 1998

¥ When logged in to an NDS environment as an NDS Print Server, you

should conÞgure the print server with only one NDS Printer object. You

specify parameters, such as which port to send data (LPT or COM) by

creating special queue name sufÞxes.

The major differences between conÞguring a Kodak printer/NIC to

service bindery or NDS queues areÑ

¥ When using Bindery queues, users may modify the setting in the

printer/NIC called Preferred Server. This refers to the Bindery File

Server that holds the conÞguration Þle.

¥ When servicing NDS queues, the printer must be conÞgured with a

context name, and may be conÞgured (optionally) with a tree name.

This can be done with FastManage.

¥ When conÞgured for NDS, the printer does not use a conÞguration Þle.

It logs into the context where it was conÞgured, locates the printer and

queues that it should service.

¥ Regarding manual conÞguration of print server, queues, and printers

(within PCONSOLE or NWadmin): Bindery print servers are directly

attached to bindery print queues. NDS print servers are attached to a

single printer, which in turn is potentially attached to many print

queues.

When conÞgured to service both Bindery and NDS queues, the NIC does

the following:

1. At startup, the NIC tries to locate an NDS server.

2. Once it locates the server, the NIC looks at the context it has been

conÞgured with, and tries to log in as print server KDxxxxxx (the xxxs

are the six-digit hardware address).

3. Once successful, the NIC gets the printer attribute of that print server,

and then gets the list of print queues that the printer should service.

4. The NIC attaches to those print queues and moves on to the next

phase.

Note: If a context was not speciÞed in the NIC NVRAM, the NIC will not

log into the NDS tree.

5. The NIC then tries to locate normal Bindery Þle servers.

Novell NetWare

July 1998 4-9

6. Once it locates a Bindery Þle server, the NIC looks in its preferred

server for an NVRAM value, and if a value exists, routes itself to that

server.

7. The NIC then looks on the preferred server for a print server queue in

the form of KDxxxxxx.

8. The NIC then reads the print server queueÕs conÞguration Þle and logs

in and attaches to the queues and servers listed in that conÞguration

Þle.

9. If a preferred server was not speciÞed in its NVRAM, the NIC searches

up to 24 Þle servers on the network for a print queue.

10.If a print queue is not found, the NIC goes back periodically through

the list of servers and try to blindly log in as print server KDxxxxxx. If

successful, it gets the list of queues that the NIC should service and

attaches to those queues.

4.5 Novell NetWare - AppleTalk

If AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS) for Novell is not already in use, consult

the Novell CD-ROM on-line documentation to set up and use ATPS. To

use ATPS for the Kodak printer, an ATPS.CFG Þle must be edited

appropriately to deÞne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding

zone.

Note: AppleTalk for Novell recognizes the printer only when it is in

PostScript mode. Raster mode cannot be accommodated. You

must set up an IPX queue to support both PostScript and raster

modes. Only Macintosh systems can print in raster mode using

AppleTalk.

4.5.1 Configuring Novell NetWare 3.x for AppleTalk

To use ATPS for Novell, an atps.cfg Þle must be edited appropriately to

deÞne an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Note: You cannot print in raster mode using ATPS.

The following procedure describes how to conÞgure Novell ATPS to

service the printer and the queue. In this example, the printer is a Kodak

printer with a default name of Kodak Digital Scienceª 8650 PS.

1. Make a test print to obtain or verify the printerÕs name.

Novell NetWare

4-10 July 1998

2. On the server, back up the sys:\system\atps.cfg Þle.

Note: Make sure you include the beginning and end quotes in the

following commands.

Edit the atps.cfg Þle, and add a line with the Kodak printer AppleTalk

name and its associated AppleTalk zone to the list of printers in the

following format:

For example, enter the following command:

ÒKodak Printer:Kprinter_ZoneÓ

Note: Make sure you include the quotation marks in the command.

If no queue is stated, a NetWare queue associated with the AppleTalk

printer name, NW_Kodak_Printer, is created. You can verify this using

PCONSOLE.

To create a different queue name, enter the following command:

For example, enter:

ÒKodak Printer:KPrinter_ZoneÓ -o KPrinter_q

3. Save the atps.cfg Þle.

4. Load atps -s -v

Use the -v [verbose] option to view the atps activity and to verify that

the contents are executed properly.

Your server can now use the same print services that Macintosh

computers use to access a Kodak printer.

4.5.2 Configuring Novell NetWare 4.x for AppleTalk

Use the NetWare 4.x utilities provided to set up AppleTalk. This setup is

menu driven, so you do no need to edit any Þles.

4.6 Troubleshooting Netware

The printer/NIC does not log in to bindery Novell 3.x server

The server may not have the bindery emulation mode enabled. To verify

that the bindery emulation is enabled, Þnd the following line in the

autoexec.ncf Þle in the system directory:

Set Bindery Context=<context>

where <context> is the name of the company to be used by bindery

emulation. If it is not there, bindery emulation is not running. Refer to the

NetWare userÕs manual for instructions on bindery emulation.

The printer/NIC does not login to the Þle server

¥ Use FastManage to see the messages sent by the printer/NIC.

¥ Use the userlist command (in NetWare 4.x, this is nlist user) to see

whether an assigned user to the printer/NIC has logged in.

¥ Use PCONSOLE to force a conÞguration Þle server to direct the

printer/NIC to search for a speciÞc server.

¥ Use a speciÞc frame type (refer to FastManage).

File server displays an Incomplete Packet error message

By default, the printer/NIC Þnds NetWare servers using repeated

broadcasts of different frame types. If a server is bound to a speciÞc

frame type, the server issues error messages for frames it does not

understand. Use FastManage to set a speciÞc frame type.

NotiÞcation not working when created with PCONSOLE

Verify that the printer type is DeÞned Elsewhere and not any other type.

Select the Print Servers menu and change the settings in the Printers

submenu.

Apple/Macintosh Environments

9-2 July 1998

9.1 Kodak 10/100 NIC - Utilities for Macintosh

Use the Kodak 10/100 NIC - Utilities for Macintosh software to remotely

conﬁgure the parameters for the 10/100 NIC installed in Kodak printers or

proofers.

IMPORTANT: Configuration for this 10/100 NIC is accomplished

exclusively by using the remote configuration utilities for

Windows, Macintosh or Unix platforms. Use of the printer

front control panel is NOT relevant for configuring this

10/100 NIC. Confirm that it is set up for printing with the

Kodak printers or proofers.

Note: If you are in a mixed platform environment and require changes to

additional protocol conﬁguration parameters beyond the general

parameters conﬁgurable with Macintosh utilities, use Utilities for

Windows (FastManage) from a Windows platform or use TELNET

on any platform that supports TCP/IP. See

Appendix A

for

information about using Telnet.

Apple/Macintosh Environments

July 1998 9-3

9.2 Conﬁguring Macintosh Systems for Printing

You should verify that this platform is supported for printing to your printer

or proofer. Refer to the user guides and Readme ﬁles that came with your

unit for information about installing software to support PostScript and

raster mode printing, calibration, and so on. If necessary, refer to

Appendix E,

Technical Assistance.

• Install the Kodak-developed PostScript driver for Macintosh for printing

when the printer is in PostScript mode.

• Install the Kodak - Adobe PhotoShop Export Module for Macintosh for

printing (exporting) when the printer is in raster mode.

Note: Check your printer Readme ﬁles for notes about your printer.

9.3 Contents of NIC Utilities for Macintosh Diskette

Note: These Macintosh utilities work only with a Kodak printer in

PostScript mode (LaserWriter). For Kodak printers that are raster

ONLY, use Telnet or utilities for Windows or Unix platforms.

The Macintosh Utilities diskette contains the following ﬁles. Copy the

contents to your hard drive.

• ! IMPORTANT!—provides important details that an administrator

MUST be aware of. It also includes steps for verifying that your printer

and NIC are functional on your network.

• Read Me—provides an overview of conﬁguration procedures.

• Namer—can be used to modify the AppleTalk name that the printer

(NIC) will use to advertise itself over the network. This is the printer

name you will see in the Chooser.

You may wish to rename the printer from its unique Network Interface

Card identiﬁer (“KDxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” is the last 6 digits of the

Ethernet hardware address) to a name more descriptive of the printer.

Note: To modify the AppleTalk name, you must use the Namer utility.

• Apple Printer Utility—can be used to download NIC and printer

conﬁguration ﬁles after they have been edited to reﬂect your network

preferences.

Apple/Macintosh Environments

9-4 July 1998

• NIC Conﬁg—provides a conﬁguration ﬁle with default NIC parameters.

To change network parameters listed in the ﬁle, copy the ﬁle, edit it,

then download it to the NIC using the Apple Printer Utility. Instructions

are included in the NIC Conﬁg ﬁle.

• Printer Conﬁg—can be used to update NIC parameters that may be

reported on a test print generated using the printer front panel. To

change network parameters listed in the ﬁle, copy the ﬁle, edit it, then

download it to the printer using the Apple Printer Utility. Instructions

are included in the NIC Conﬁg ﬁle.

• TeachText—for reading and editing user conﬁguration ﬁles.

Note: Problems may occur if you try to use these utilities for Kodak

printers that are not listed in this guide. Make sure you have

Macintosh utilities intended for your speciﬁc NIC.

9.4 Conﬁguring the NIC

9.4.1 Configuring the NIC in PostScript Printers

Utilities for Macintosh will work only for PostScript printers. Therefore,

your Kodak printer must be in PostScript mode when conﬁguring the

printer's network interface.

9.4.2 Configuring the NIC in Raster Only Printers

Use any of the utilities below if you have a Kodak printer that is raster

ONLY and

- you require parameters other than the defaults or

- you need to verify existing NIC parameters

• Telnet from any platform that supports TCP/IP. If your environment has

only Macintosh workstations, it may be necessary to acquire a

Macintosh - TCP application on one Macintosh for conﬁguring the NIC

by using Telnet

• Utilities for DOS/Windows platforms (recommended)

• Utilities for Unix platforms

Apple/Macintosh Environments

July 1998 9-5

9.4.3 Default AppleTalk/EtherTalk Parameters

Parameter change methods listed here presume the use of Utilities for

Macintosh.

IMPORTANT: Verify that the printers are operating properly on your

network using the default parameters before you change

the NIC configuration parameters.

Check, for example, the following:

• Does the printer (in PostScript mode) show up in Chooser under its

default name?

• Can you print ﬁles from a Macintosh when the printer is in PostScript

mode?

• Can you export ﬁles from a Macintosh when the printer is in raster

mode?

AppleTalk Name: “KDxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” is the last 6 digits of the

NIC's Ethernet Hardware Address. Use the Namer utility to set up a more

descriptive name.

AppleTalk Zone: “*” The NIC will automatically discover the default

AppleTalk zone name for the subnet on which it physically resides.

To change, follow the procedure in the NIC Conﬁg ﬁle.

AppleTalk Phase: “2”. To change, follow the procedure in the NIC Conﬁg

ﬁle.

9.4.4 NIC Configuration Test Print

IMPORTANT: The pertinent 10/100 NIC Configuration Test Print is NOT

the test print generated from the printer's front control

panel. This test print can be generated ONLY on printers in

PostScript mode.

Obtain the pertinent (functional) NIC parameters by generating a NIC

Conﬁguration Test Print. To do so, set the mode switches on the NIC

(D1 Down, D2 Up) and then power cycle the printer.

Apple/Macintosh Environments

9-6 July 1998

When the NIC Conﬁguration Test Print is complete, set the switches back

into Normal (D1 & D2 UP) or Telnet (D1 Up, D2 Down) mode for normal

printing operation.

9.4.5 Printer Test Page

Generate a Printer Test Page using the Print key on the printer front

panel. Use the Print key only to verify printer operation, NOT to verify

network parameters.

If network parameters reported on the Printer Test Page, (i.e. EtherTalk

Name, TCP/IP Address) do not match the ACTUAL parameters reported

on the NIC Conﬁguration Test Page, this will not affect network operation.

However, to avoid confusion from mis-matching parameters reported on

the Printer Test Page, the following mechanisms can be used to modify

parameters reported on a Printer test Page as well as those displayed

through the front display panel.

AppleTalk Name, AppleTalk Zone, Preferred Server

Copy, edit, and download the Printer Conﬁg ﬁle to update the appropriate

parameters on the Printer Test Page to be consistent with the parameters

reported on the NIC Conﬁguration Test Page.

TCP/IP Address, AppleTalk Phase, IPX Frametype

Use the front control panel to enter remaining parameters on the Printer

Test Page consistent with parameters reported on the NIC Conﬁguration

Test Page.

9.4.6 Using the Apple Printer Utility for Downloading Configuration Files

You can change NIC conﬁguration parameters (other than the AppleTalk

name) by modifying a NIC conﬁguration ﬁle, then downloading the ﬁle to

the printer/NIC.

To modify and download a conﬁguration ﬁle with the Apple Printer Utility:

1. Open the Utilities for Macintosh diskette or folder.

2. Copy the NIC Conﬁg ﬁle. It should open with TeachText; if not, use a

text editor that saves as ASCII.

3. Edit the list of conﬁguration choices.

Apple/Macintosh Environments

July 1998 9-7

4. Save the list and quit TeachText.

5. Double click on the Apple Printer Utility icon.

6. From the plodding menu, select Window and then Selector.

7. If there is a router on the network, select the appropriate zone for the

printer.

8. Select the printer.

Note: When the Printer is opened, a warning may state that this is a

spooler and that all utility features may not work. Click Continue.

9. Select Download PostScript File from the File menu.

10.Select the ﬁle to download.

11.When downloading is complete, quit the program.

If an error occurs while downloading a conﬁguration ﬁle, an error

message will appear. If a log ﬁle is created after downloading a ﬁle, an

error occurred.

10 Unix Environment

Refer to Kodak Printer/NIC Installation and ConÞguration Overview in

Chapter 1 for overall conÞguration process steps and details. This chapter

describes how to conÞgure the NIC and conÞgure a queue to submit Þles

to a Kodak printer in a Unix environment. Steps covered in this chapter

are highlighted in the list below.

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment

Step 2: Gather the necessary components

Step 3: Install the NIC hardware

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC

Step 5: ConÞgure the print servers

Step 6: ConÞgure the printer for use on workstations

Step 7: Printing

Note: Although Kodak does not develop printer drivers and export

modules for Unix platforms, we do assist third-party developers

who provide applications and drivers to support Kodak printers.

Refer to Appendix E, Technical Assistance, for information on

searching the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) for third-party

developer solutions.

10.1 ConÞguring the NIC from Unix (TCP/IP) Platforms

Devices on a TCP/IP network are identiÞed by an Ethernet and IP

address. You need to minimally establish an IP address on the NIC,

because the factory default IP address is Ò0.0.0.0Ó. The NIC Ethernet

address is on the NIC faceplate; the IP address is assigned by your

system administrator.

When the IP address in NVRAM is 0.0.0.0, the device uses RARP,

BOOTP and DHCP to acquire a valid address from a RARP, BOOTP or

DHCP server.

Use any of the following methods to assign the IP address:

Unix Environment

10-2 July 1998

¥ Set a static ARP entry. Make a telnet connection to port 2002, then set

the IP address with your Unix workstation. You must be on the same

subnet as the printer/NIC.

¥ Dynamic methods, RARP, BOOTP and DHCP, can also be used to

allow the NIC to use an unused IP address each time the printer is

power cycled. RARP is limited to use on the same subnet as the NIC.

BOOTP and DHCP can be used in larger networks across routers.

Consult your Unix system documentation for the use and syntax of

RARP, BOOTP and DHCP.

¥ Run the install script distributed on the Unix diskette. Refer to Section

10.3, Printer/NIC Setup using the Install Script, for details.

¥ Additional methods for setting an IP address from non-Unix platforms

are covered in Chapter 3, FastManage, and Chapter 9, Apple/

Macintosh Environments.

10.1.1 Setting the IP Address Using Arp and Telnet

Arp and Telnet work only if the device is on the same subnet as the host.

Once an IP address is set, you cannot change it using Òarp.Ó You must

use a NIC conÞguration utility to change it unless you reset the NIC to

factory defaults.

To add a printer named ÒkodakÓ with an IP address Ò123.4.5.6Ó and an

Ethernet address of Ò00:40:c8:01:02:ABÓ:

1. Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) then power

cycle the printer.

2. Add an Ò<IP Addr> <Name>Ó line, (i.e. 123.4.5.6 kodak) to the /etc/

hosts Þle.

3. Use one of the following arp commands to set the static arp entry for a

host on the same subnet as the device:

arp -s ether kodak 0:40:C8:1:2:AB (no leading zeros on RS-6000

systems)

arp -s kodak 0:40:C8:1:2:AB (no leading zeros on most Unix

systems)

arpbypass set kodak 0X00.0X40.0XC8.0X01.0X02.0XAB (AT&T

and NCR)

Unix Environment

July 1998 10-3

Note: The printer/NICÕs assigned IP address must be on the same local

subnet as the Unix workstation.

4. Make a telnet connection to maintenance port 2002. (Type: telnet

kodak 2002).

5. Press [!] and press [Enter].

Note: The following warning may appear: ÒEntering monitor will

lock out other Ethernet access. Type yes to get to

the command prompt.Ó Press [Enter].

6. At the menu option, press [I] and then [Enter].

7. Press [Y] for yes when prompted.

This address will be stored in the deviceÕs NVRAM.

8. Restart the device with the R command, then power cycle the printer.

10.1.2 Verifying IP Address is Set Properly

To see if the printer/NIC is up and running on the network, use the ping

command. Type: ping <ptrname> or ping <IP Addr>

A message that the host is alive or Packets received OK should

appear.

10.2 Introduction to LPD/LPR

Printing to LPD allows you to print as if the printer were directly attached

to a remote BSD Unix system. ConÞguration requires assigning an IP

address to the printer/NIC and setting up a remote BSD Unix-like printer.

Kodak provides an installation script to conÞgure the printer/NIC on Unix

and add printers.

The printer/NIC supports multiple queues by simultaneously printing via

LPD from a maximum of 12 different queues (limitation does not apply for

host software printing).

The device listens for LPD connections on 12 ports; if all 12 are in use,

the 13th LP daemon will not make a connection. If this happens, restart

the line printer daemon.

Systems that support LPD/LPR include:

Unix Environment

10-4 July 1998

¥ BSD systems

¥ System V Release 4 machines

¥ IBM RS/6000

¥ TCP/IP packages for VMS

¥ TCP/IP packages for DOS

¥ IBM, HP, or DEC mainframe machines that run TCP/IP

¥ Microsoft Windows NT 3.5

¥ OS/2 2.x with IBMÕs TCP/IP or LAN Server 2.x and above

10.2.1 Setting up LPD/LPR

Install the printer on every host that prints to the printer/NIC.

1. Install the printer/NIC on the network.

2. Assign an IP address to the printer/NIC.

3. LPD and Sockets are enabled on the NIC by default.

Two items are required to conÞgure an LPD printer:

¥ Remote system name (host name for the device).

¥ Remote printer name (anything can be entered). A ÒrawÓ data

type is used by default with the expectation that proper PostScript

or raster Þles will be submitted to correspond with the mode

selected on the printer.

10.2.2 Remote or Direct Network Spooling

The printer/NIC Unix software allows a user to spool directly or remotely.

In direct spooling, each Unix workstation spools to the device

independently. In remote spooling, one UNIX workstation sends print jobs

received from all other workstation to the printer/NIC. Both methods

require some conÞguration on all UNIX workstations.

10.3 Printer/NIC Setup using the Installation Script

The install.sh script should accommodate most BSD and System V Unix

systems for printing to the Kodak printer/NIC.

To load the Unix utilities software:

Unix Environment

July 1998 10-5

1. As root, create a local directory (i.e. Ò/tmp/kodakÓ) to load the

software and then go to that directory.

2. Load the software from the disk by putting the diskette into a drive and

typing:

tar -xvf /dev/<diskette drive device>

3. Type./install.sh to launch the install script.

4. Follow the Installation Options menus and prompts to establish an IP

address and conÞgure printer names and queues.

10.4 Manual NIC Installation for BSD Machines

1. Add an Ò<IP Addr> <Name>Ó line, (i.e. 123.4.5.6 kodak) to the /etc/

hosts Þle.

2. Edit the /etc/printcap to create an entry for the printer.

A sample entry for a printer called ÒkodakÓ:

kodak:\

:lp=:\

:rm=kodak:\

:rp=ps:\

:mx#0:\

:sd=/usr/spool/kodak:\

:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:

3. Create a spool directory.

4. Create a spool directory owned by the daemon, such as:

mkdir /usr/spool/kodak

chown daemon /usr/spool/kodak

10.4.1 Manual NIC Installation for System V Machines

Access to printers in System V systems is through the LP scheduler.

System V administration commands allow users to create a printer

description Þle called an interface Þle. This is the Þnal Þlter in the LP

spooler that sets up a print job and is designed to customize the data for a

printer.

Unix Environment

10-6 July 1998

Enable LPD on System V systems by using SAM on HP/UX, admintool

on Solaris, or any other system administration tool. To install the printer/

NIC manually, use the following procedure.

1. Log in as root.

2. Create a dummy device in the /dev directory for use with the printer

(e.g., ÒkodakÓ).

touch /dev/kodak

3. Change its ownership, group and access rights with these commands:

chown lp /dev/kodak

chgrp lp /dev/kodak

chmod 660 /dev/kodak

4. Shut down the lp scheduler.

/usr/lib/lpshut

5. Add a line in this format to the /etc/lp/systems Þle.

kodak:x-:bsd:-:1:10:-:-:

where kodak is the host name of the printer/NIC.

6. Use the lpadmin command to add a new printer.

/usr/lib/lpadmin -p <printer> -s <host name>! <remote queue>

where printer is the printerÕs name, host name is the printers host

name, and remote queue is a predeÞned queue.

Issue the following command when adding a PostScript printer on

Solaris:

lpadmin -p<printer name> -I any

Printer name of the device may be same as the host name. Interface

directory usually has these paths:

For SCO, Solaris, DG/UX, UnixWare 2.X and Interactive systems, it is

/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces.

For HP/UX and Silicon Graphics systems, it is

/usr/spool/lp/interface.

For SGI Irix system, it is /varspool/lp/interface.

For AT&T and Sequent systems, it is /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp.

Unix Environment

July 1998 10-7

7. Enable the printer and accept these print job commands:

enable <printer name>

accept <printer name>

10.5 Printcap File Parameters

Some commonly used entries in the printcap Þle are listed below.

Note: The number of copies option with LPR (LPR-number of copies) is

not supported. To suppress banner pages for individual print jobs,

use LPR with the -h option or turn off the banner printing via telnet.

10.5.1 TFTP Support for the printer/NIC

The NIC Þrmware supports printing and ßash loading using TFTP from

TCP/IP hosts. To do this:

1. Connect to the printer/NIC assigned IP address.

2. Put the Þle to be printed (or the ßash Þle).

The Þle will be printed on parallel port 1. The Þle cannot be printed on

any other port. If the Þle is a valid ßash upgrade Þle, the NIC will

automatically update its ßash memory.

3. Issue the quit command to close the TFTP session.

11 Printing

11.1 PostScript and Raster Modes

Kodak printers with the PS extension support both PostScript and raster

printing. Models without the PS extension support only raster mode.

Kodak provides PostScript drivers for PostScript mode printing and export

modules for raster mode printing from Macintosh and Windows platforms.

The Adobe Photoshop application must be purchased from Adobe for use

with export modules (plug-ins).

11.1.1 PostScript Drivers

Printing in PostScript mode is supported by PostScript drivers for Kodak

printers for most efÞcient generation of PostScript code.

Any PostScript driver can be used to generate PostScript Þles to send to

a Kodak printer. However, these drivers may not produce code as

efÞciently as a Kodak driver. Also, generic PostScript drivers may not be

able to support Kodak printer-speciÞc features unless your system uses

product- speciÞc PPDs that any PostScript driver can access.

11.1.2 Raster Drivers

Raster mode is supported by a Kodak proprietary raster printing language

that can generate printing code that is even more efÞcient than PostScript

code generated by a Kodak driver.

11.1.3 Language Efficiency vs Network and Printer Performance

Kodak raster drivers and PostScript drivers for Kodak printers were

developed with full knowledge of the architecture of Kodak printers.

Printer code generation efÞciency is reßected as improvements in print Þle

transfer speed and printer processing performance.

11.1.4 Non-Kodak Printer Software

Applications and drivers are also available from third-party support

vendors for most platforms. For information on vendors and software

solutions, see the Kodak Web site: www.kodak.com.

Printing

11-2 July 1998

If a Kodak driver is not available, you can use a generic PostScript driver

or LaserWriter driver with the Kodak printer PPD Þle to generate

PostScript output.

11.4 Printing in PostScript Mode from Windows/DOS Systems

11.4.1 Printing from Windows

To print from applications to a Kodak printer in PostScript mode:

IMPORTANT: To avoid printing problems, make sure that ÒCtrlDÓ job

termination is disabled in Printer PostScript properties.

1. Select File>Page Setup and verify settings consistent with your

printer.

2. Select File>Print.

3. Select the printer that was created by the Add Printer mechanism.

4. Check printer settings for consistency with current printer media

before selecting OK.

11.4.2 Printing from DOS

NPrint

Print to the printer as if it were any other Novell print server. For example,

use the Novell CAPTURE command to redirect one of the LPT ports to a

queue serviced by the Network Interface Card. If the Þle server is named

raisa and the queue is named lp1, the command to redirect to LPT1

would be:

CAPTURE /S=raisa /Q=lp1

Use NPRINT to print as shown in the following example:

NPRINT myÞle S=raisa Q=lp1

You can include the /notify option to send a message to users who send

jobs once the jobs successfully print. For example:

NPRINT myÞle S=raisa Q=lp1 /notify

Copy

Use COPY to print to an LPT port redirected to a network port.

COPY myÞle LPT1

Printing

July 1998 11-5

LPR

The example below illustrates how to use the lpr command to send a Þle

to the printer from the DOS command line.

In this example, the server name is server1, and the printer name is 8650.

lpr -S server1 -P 8650 \fullpath\Þlename

11.4.3 Eliminating ÒCtrlDÓs from Print jobs

11.4.3.1Windows 3.x Systems

To eliminate the CtrlDs from PostScript output Þles on Windows 3.x

systems, a C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI Þle must be edited.

Within the C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI Þle, search for any occurrences of

Kodak printers and/or LPT ports that they may be associated with. A

typical entry might look like:

[Kodak DS 8650 PS, LPT1]

After this line, add the following line:

CTRLD=0

Save the Þle, and try printing it again.

6) Power cycle the printer.

Troubleshooting

July 1998 12-5

12.1 Verifying Standalone Printer Functions

If you are having trouble printing, Þrst verify that the standalone printer with

no network interface connection operates correctly. Secondly, verify that the

printer is conÞgured correctly when connected to your network. If necessary,

go to the sections that pertain to the speciÞc platform and protocol used.

1. Is the printer plugged in, turned on, and displaying the ÒREADYÓ

prompt?

2. Is there an error message displayed on the printer?

Refer to the user's guide for the printer for information about error

messages that appear on the front control/display panel. Error code

numbers typically indicate that the printer hardware requires service.

3. Does the paper size displayed on the front control/display panel

match what is actually in the tray?

If not, the paper tray may be an adjustable tray that has not been

properly set up. Check and/or adjust the paper size selection switch

on the side of the tray for the proper paper size setting.

4. Is the printer in the appropriate mode (PostScript or Raster)?

PostScript mode is necessary for PostScript Þle printing. The printer

should only be in Raster mode when using the export module in

conjunction with Adobe Photoshop or when using another vendorÕs

application that speciÞcally states support for Kodak printers in

Raster mode.

If necessary, select the proper mode from the printerÕs front control/

display panel. Refer to ÒChanging the Printing ModeÓ in the ÒPrintingÓ

section.

5. Make a test print by pressing ÒPrintÓ on the printer front control panel

to determine if the printer is functioning in PostScript and/or Raster

modes. Do not be alarmed if your particular printer does not support

both modes of operation. Make sure that paper and ribbon are

loaded. To make a test print, press the print button on the printer

when Ò:READYÓ appears in the display panel.

Troubleshooting

12-6 July 1998

12.2 Verify Network Connectivity

1. When the printer Þnishes initialization and the front display/control

panel displays the message ÒREADY,Ó check that the LEDs on the

back of the printer operate correctly.

¥ The Yellow LED should illuminate and be in a stable condition. If

the light does not illuminate or is unstable, check the connectivity

between the Network Interface Card and the network hub switch.

If the connectivity is correct, the Network Interface Card may be

defective.

¥ The Green LED should blink intermittently indicating a burst of

trafÞc on the network. If the Green LED does not blink, the

Network Interface Card may be defective.

2. Make sure that the mode switches on the Network Interface Card are

set correctly. For printing the NIC must be in ÒNormalÓ (D1 & D2 Up)

or ÒTelentÓ (D1 Up, D2 Down) mode for printing. If necessary, refer to

the NIC Mode Switch diagram in the NIC installation chapter.

3. Make sure that the network cables are connected correctly and are

in good working condition. If necessary, install a new cable.

If the printer can print from the parallel or Local Talk ports, check for

the correct network setup.

12.3 Verify Network Parameters

1. With a printer in PostScript mode, make a NIC ConÞguration Test

Print if you have not already done so. The NIC must be in ÒTest

PageÓ (D1 Down, D2 Up) mode and power cycled to print a NIC Con-

Þguration page.

Verify that pertinent AppleTalk, IPX, NetBeui and/or TCP/IP

parameters that have been set up are correct.

Raster only printers can not print a NIC conÞguration Test Print.

Instead, use NIC conÞguration utilities to verify network parameters.

2. Power cycle the printer. Under some circumstances the printer may

lose network communications with the host and not regain them until

a reinitialization occurs. Parameters that are conÞgured on the NIC

are not effective until you power cycle the printer.

3. You may want to reset the NIC to factory defaults by using the NIC

faceplate mode switches. Refer to ÓAppendix CÓ for instructions on

resetting the NIC.

Troubleshooting

July 1998 12-7

12.4 Verify Application and Printer Parameters

1. Is there an error indication on the front control/display panel that the

wrong ribbon is in use with a ÒLoad Oversize RibbonÓ message or

the wrong paper with a ÒLoad PaperÓ message?

If pressing the ÒPRINTÓ button on the front control/display panel

results in a print, this is an indication that the printing problem is due

to a mismatch between application ÒPage SetupÓ and ÒPrintÓ menu

page/ribbon selection parameters and what is actually in the printer.

Check options in both menus carefully because some applications

require consistent selections in more than one menu.

2. In situations where a Kodak PostScript driver is not available, for

example on UNIX platforms, features pertaining to media may not be

selectable through the application being used. Some media features

are selectable, however, from the printer control/display panel. By

selecting the following, these characteristics can be set as defaults:

SETUP >DEFAULTS >MEDIA,

TYPE (Paper/Transparency/Draft) and

COLOR (Standard/Commercial/Publication)

12.5 Novell NetWare Installations

1. Check initial steps listed in this troubleshooting section to verify

printer and parameters and connectivity.

1. The primary or preferred server is the name of the Þle server that

contains the printerÕs Novell queue. Make sure a preferred server is

deÞned on the NIC.

2. Check the NIC ConÞguration test print to verify that the preferred

server is correct.

3. Make sure that your queue and print server names for the Network

Interface Card match those speciÞed in the conÞguration Þle and that

the queue is assigned to that server.

4. Check the display panel for error messages. Refer to the appropriate

user's guide for information about error messages.

5. Check to see if the Þle server is on line. Use the NetWare SLIST

command to list the currently available Þle servers.

6. Make sure the number of logged-in users does not exceed the user

license limit.

Troubleshooting

12-8 July 1998

7. From the DOS command line, enter the NetWare command

USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) to verify that the printer

has logged into the Þle server. The USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/

A/B (4.x) command displays all logged-in users from the currently

attached Þle server. Verify that your workstation is attached to the

printerÕs deÞned Þle server before running USERLIST (3.x) or

NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x). The printer should log in as the <print server>

name.

8. Check to see if the print queue has been disabled. If the queue is

enabled but your job is not in it, a workstation problem has prevented

the job from entering the print queue. Check the workstation.

9. Check the print queue contents using the PCONSOLE command.

10. If the printer has not logged in (determined by using the USERLIST

(3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) command), check the printers display

panel for error messages.

11. Verify that names were deÞned according to the instructions for

installation.

12. Verify that the correct frametype is chosen under the menu selection

PORTS:IPX of the display panel. The Þle server and printer must use

the same frametype.

13. Verify that CAPTURE has been run for the appropriate parallel port.

12.6 NT Installations

1. Check initial steps listed in this troubleshooting section to verify

printer and parameters and connectivity.

2. On NT systems, you may encounter corruption of data when printing

Þles over 5 Mbytes. Color bands may appear across the printed

image. This condition can be corrected by setting up server

properties to accept the entire print job before passing the Þle on to

the printer. For Windows NT 3.51 for workstations and servers ÒJob

Prints While SpoolingÓ must be deselected. For Windows NT 4.0 for

workstations and servers ÒStart Printing After Last Page SpooledÓ

must be selected.

3. Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers

provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may encounter

problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by Kodak. When in

doubt, refer to the Kodak web site for availability and the latest

versions of drivers. Refer to ÒGetting HelpÓ for information on how to

access the Kodak web site.

4. You may encounter problems if you install drivers on remote

workstations by downloading them from an NT server. We

recommend that you install the printer driver and/or the export

module on each server and workstation on your network. When you

set up the servers for sharing, install only the software relevant to the

operating system for the server.

5. If you are setting up an NT ÒAppleTalkÓ printer or queue, it will only

work for PostScript mode printing from Windows. Exporting Þles to

Kodak printers in ÒRasterÓ mode via AppleTalk protocol is possible

only with Macintosh platforms.

6. If you are setting up an NT ÒAppleTalkÓ printer or queue and

ÒCaptureÓ the printer, Macintosh users will no longer see the printer

advertized by its ÒAppleTalk NameÓ. You should verify, however, that

they can see and select the printer by its ÒNT AppleTalk Queue

NameÓ.

Troubleshooting

July 1998 12-11

12.7 AppleTalk Installations

1. Check initial steps listed in this troubleshooting section to verify

printer and parameters and connectivity.

12.7.1 PostScript mode

1. Check the test print to verify that the preferred server is correct.

2. Are both the computer and the printer set for the same EtherTalk

phase (Phase 1 or Phase 2)?

3. Has the AppleTalk/EtherTalk network driver been selected in the

Network/AppleTalk control panel?

4. If the name of the correct printer driver does not appear as a

selection in the Chooser, verify that the printer driver was properly

loaded on the host. Check for the existence of your Kodak printer Þle

in the System FolderÕs Extensions folder.

If the host driver software is not there, install it according to the

instructions in the userÕs guide for the software.

5. Does the printer name appear as a selection in the Chooser? If not,

check the following:

¥ Make sure that AppleTalk is enabled (the Active button in the

Chooser should be selected).

¥ Make sure that the printer has been on for at least 3 minutes.

¥ If the printer is installed on a network with multiple zones, check

the other zones for the printer. The printer will boot up to the

default zone that is supplied by the network router.

¥ Make sure that the printer has been selected in the Chooser.

¥ If background printing is enabled, open the Print Monitor and

check for error conditions at the printer.

Raster Mode

1. Are both the computer and the printer set for the same EtherTalk

phase (Phase1 or 2)?

2. Has the AppleTalk/EtherTalk network driver been selected in the

Network/AppleTalk Control Panel dialog box?

Troubleshooting

12-12 July 1998

3. The appropriate printer must be selected for the export module. You

can do this by opening the Export Module dialog box and checking

the printer that is displayed in the Printer group box. If the correct

printer is not displayed, click on Select; and use the dialog box

options that appear to select the appropriate printer from the dialog

box.

Refer to the userÕs guide for the export module for more information.

4. Does the printerÕs name appear as a selection in the select window?

If not, make sure that the printer has been on for at least 3 minutes.

12.8 TCP/IP Installations

1. Check initial steps listed in this troubleshooting section to verify

printer and parameters and connectivity.

In the examples below, 8650 PS printer is the host name for the Network

Interface Card, and the host software is loaded in the directory /usr/local/

kodak.

The printer appears to be ready, but you cannot print

Check the /etc/hosts Þle and see whether the IP address is set correctly.

If the system uses Yellow Pages or NIS, use the following command to view

the hosts database:

ypcat hosts

Use the following command to view the IP address for the host 8650 PS

printer:

ypmatch DS 8650 hosts

If the following message appears, your system does not use NIS:

canÕt bind....

If the system uses NIS and you have changed the /etc/hosts or /etc/ethers

Þle, update the database by entering the command:

cd /var/yp; make

This updates the databases for both the YP server and the clients.

The IP address is correct, but you cannot print.

Enter the ping command and the host name:

ping -s <printername>

Troubleshooting

July 1998 12-13

This sends a packet to the Network Interface Card once every second. To

abort the ping command, use Ctrl-C or the Delete key. If a message like the

following appears, check the cable; and try it with another transceiver.

No answer from <printername>

You can ping the printer but cannot print.

The problem is with the lpr/lpd setting.

Verify that the printcap entries are correct. Each line should begin with a

colon (:) and except for the last line should end with:\. Each line after the Þrst

line should be indented (tabbed). A sample entry is shown in ÒUNIXÓ

Systems.Ó

If there are problems in the printcap entries, the Þles will not print, and you

will get the message Òwarning: no daemon presentÓ when you try to look at

the print queue using the lpq -P <printername> command. The Þle /usr/adm/

lpd-errs will contain error messages explaining why the Þle was not printed.

Check for error messages.

You can only print small Þles.

If large Þles (usually 1 MB or more) fail to print, check to see if the printcap

entry contains a line reading:mx#0. If the line does not exist, you should add

it. You should also check to see if there is enough room in the spool directory

to accommodate large Þles.

You cannot print from a DOS or Windows application.

If you cannot print from the application you are using, redirect the output to a

Þle from the application, and print the Þle from the command line. This will

help you to determine if the application is sending the data properly or if a

problem exists at the application or driver level.

A.5 Finishing Up a Telnet Session

If, when you Þnish a telnet session, you made no changes, you may

simply end your Telnet session.

If you changed one or more parameters:

1. Type R to Reset the NIC using the new parameters

2. Power cycle the printer to synchronize the printer and NIC.

To prevent unauthorized Telnet sessions that could cause conÞguration

changes, set the faceplate mode switches to Normal mode (D1 & D2 in

UP position), then power cycle the printer.

Third Party Network Applications and Utilities

July 1998 B-1

Appendix B Third Party Network Applications and Utilities

B.1 Windows 95 LPR Utilities

Other vendors provide utilities that allow printing from Windows 95 using

lpr.

B.2 PC-NFS for Windows

The NIC was designed as a direct network interface for printers in Unix

environments that support the line printer daemon (lpd). The NIC also

works with PC/TCP-compatible software, such as PC/TCP FTP, and with

VMS systems that support (lpd).

PC-NFS enables DOS users shared printers attached to hosts or to PCs.

PC-NFS users can access the printer through their Unix PC-NFS server

and print jobs at the rated speed of the printer.

To set up a shared printer:

1. Install PC-NFS on your PC. See your PC-NFS installation guide for

instructions.

2. Set up a PC-NFS server as described in the PC-NFS installation

guide. Make sure that the server runs the PC-NFS daemon

rpc.pcnfsd.

3. Set up a printer on the PC-NFS server as described in Chapter 10 in

this guide.

4. Edit the serverÕs /etc/exports Þle and add the print spool directory to

the list of directories being exported to the PCs running PC-NFS.

Make sure that the PCs have read and write access to this directory. If

the spool directory is not exported, PC-NFS will not mount the printer.

Third Party Network Applications and Utilities

B-2 July 1998

5. Update the list of exported directories using the command:

exportfs -a

6. Mount this printer using either the nfsconf program or the following

command:

net use <print device>: <host>:<printer name> [/option [/option]...]

(Enter the command on one line without returns.)

Note: The print device can be either lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. The host is the

server name; the printer name is the name assigned to the printer.

7. Use the net printers command to see a list of printers attached to the

server.

net printers <servername>

8. Select raw mode of data transfer while mounting a printer in PC-NFS

for printing PostScript Þles.

Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults

July 1998 C-1

Appendix C Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to

Factory Defaults

C.1 Upgrading the Flash EPROMs

The Flash EPROM memory feature allows you to upgrade future Þrmware

releases without opening the unit and replacing the EPROM chip.

If the download is successful, the unit will reset itself and run the new

Þrmware. If the download fails, the ßash job will print; one of the Þrmware

banks will become corrupt, the NIC may become inoperable, or the ßash

job will be rejected when the checksum is determined invalid.

Resetting the NIC terminates any print jobs in progress.

Repeat the download of the Þle if the download fails printing to the printer,

although failure usually means that the Þle is incorrect.

C.2 Using the Network Download Procedure

ConÞrm that you have the latest Þrmware version using a Telnet session

or the Kodak NIC Manager. Check the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com)

to Þnd out if the Þrmware has been upgraded. To upgrade your system,

complete the steps in section C.2.1.

C.2.1 Downloading the Flash Image

To perform a network-based upgrade of the Flash EPROMs

Þrmware =>4.8:

1. Verify that the network download option is enabled.

2. Download the Þle to the printer, without sending the print job through

the printer driver.

Note: Downloading Þrmware may take up to 10 minutes. A useful tool for

downloading and monitoring progress is the Windows FastManage

Discovery tool. Use Discovery > Action > TFTP. A NIC telnet

session will also provide an indication that the NIC is accepting the

Þrmware.

Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults

C-2 July 1998

The NIC recognizes the Þle as a Þrmware image and loads it into

memory instead of printing it. Once it is loaded and its checksum

values are veriÞed, the NIC automatically resets itself and runs the

new Þrmware.

Note: If an error or process interruption occurs, the NIC continues to run

the old Þrmware and sends an error message to the console.

C.2.2 Recovering from a Failed Download

During the ßash download procedure, an error may cause the ßash

update to fail. If this occurs, the NIC will remain at its current Þrmware

release or will fail to reboot properly.

If the NIC remains at its current Þrmware release, retry the download. If it

fails to start up correctly, it may store an alternate bank of code that can

be restored.

To recover from a failed download:

1. Reset the NIC to factory defaults.

2. Put front panel switches D1 and D2 down.

3. Power cycle the unit.

4. After powerup, toggle the D2 switch up and down quickly Þve times

(ten times total).

5. Put switches in normal printing mode (D1 up, D2 down).

6. Power cycle the unit again. If the box does not appear to recover, go to

step 2. If it does recover, stop here.

C.2.3 Restoring the Alternate Bank Image

1. Access the ßash commands by running a Telnet monitor.

2. Use the Copy This Image to Other Bank command to update the

alternate bank image.

Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults

July 1998 C-3

C.2.4 Completing the Download

Flash memory holds two complete Þrmware images, so that you can try a

new image before implementing it. After download, the new image is

stored in the main bank and the old image is stored in the alternate bank.

Use the ßash command Restart in Other Bank to rerun the old version

for comparison.

Once you are satisÞed with the Þrmware update, copy it to the alternate

bank so that both banks contain the same image. If the new image does

not work, copy the alternate bank image into the main bank. Both banks

should be the same.

Finalize the download in this way for two reasons:

¥ Alternate update is automatically used if the main bank becomes

corrupt. This could cause confusion if it is a different version.

¥ Some parameter storage operations require both banks to be

identical. These operations may fail if the banks are not identical.

To update the alternate bank image, use the Copy This Image to Other

Bank command to update the alternate bank image.

To revert to the old version:

1. Return to the old version with the Restart in Other Bank command.

2. Use the Copy This Image to Other Bank command.

Note: The sequence number is assigned to the images that is listed when

using the DF console command or entering the ßash monitor. The

higher number indicates the more recent download.

C.2.5 Flash Download Commands

Access the ßash download command one of two ways:

¥ Connect to the serial port and run the serial monitor.

¥ For DOS machines, use the Telnet monitor.

The ßash download commands are:

¥Disable Network DownloadÑUsed for security against unauthorized

downloads.

¥Enable Network DownloadÑThe default state.

¥Restart in Other BankÑThe only way to cause the older image to

execute when the images differ. The effect is temporary. A power cycle

will always run the newer image. Use this command to compare the

old version to the new version to identify problems.

¥Copy This Image to Other BankÑUsed to make the images

identical. This command updates the alternate bank with the new main

bank version when the user is satisÞed with the new Þrmware image.

To revert to an old Þrmware version, use the Restart in Other Bank

command. When the old version comes up, this command will copy the

old version over the new.

C.3 Resetting the NIC to Factory Defaults

In addition to resetting the NIC to its factory defaults, completing this

procedure also resets the IP Address to 0.0.0.0.

1. Place the NIC faceplate mode switches, D1 and D2 in the down

position.

2. Power cycle the printer.

3. Wait until the printer returns to the Ready state.

4. Toggle switch D1 up and down quickly at least 5 times. (1 Toggle is

deÞned as one up and down cycle of the switch.)

5. Reset switches D1 and D2 back into normal mode.

6. Power cycle the printer.

NIC Specifications

Appendix D NIC SpeciÞcations

D.1 RJ-45 Connector

RJ-45 pinouts are shown below.

¥ Pin 1: Transmit data +

¥ Pin 2: Transmit data -

¥ Pin 3: Receive data +

¥ Pin 6: Receive data -

Rx/Tx Crossover Cable

If you want a direct RJ45 (10/100BaseT) connection from a single

computer to a printer, use a mini-hub and two network cables. We do not

recommend using an Rx/Tx crossover cable to defeat the need for a hub

because it is a custom cable that may not be available from a local dealer

or distributor. A crossover cable that is not clearly labeled can also cause

problems if mixed with standard RJ45 network cables.

If needed, you can build an Rx/Tx Crossover cable by using a standard

RJ45 cable and swapping the Transmit (1, 2) and Receive (3, 6) signal

pairs at one end.

IMPORTANT: You must use the proper RJ45 connector/cable tools;

otherwise, the cable may be unreliable.

Clearly label a custom cable so you do not confuse it with

standard RJ45 cables.
