GA-1040 on the network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the GA-1040 and includes diagrams
that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation.

GA-1040 on the network
When the GA-1040 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PCL or
PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the GA-1040 supports the
following network protocols:
• AppleTalk
• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd
protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports
Windows (SMB) printing. The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on
the Internet and on intranets.
• IPX/SPX (Novell)
IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.
These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each
other) are supported on Windows and Mac OS platforms and can run concurrently on
the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a
server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to the GA-1040
parallel port.
When you add the GA-1040 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator
will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and
servers.

Connecting to the Network

Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
•

Physically connecting the GA-1040 to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the GA-1040—obtain cable and route it to the location
where the GA-1040 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface of
the GA-1040. See page 1-10 for details.
•

Configuring network servers

When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the GA-1040 as a PostScript or PCL printer. See Chapter 5 for
information on configuring network servers in Windows network environments.
•

GA-1040 Setup

Configure the GA-1040 for your particular printing and network environment.
See Chapter 2 for details.
•

Client setup

Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the
client to the GA-1040 over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started,
and some information is provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.
•

System administration

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise.
See Chapter 6 for details.

Quick path to installation
The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing
and for using remote utilities. To use the diagrams, find the page with your preferred
platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books
referred to in the keys.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are
logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)
of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each
logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star
configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical
networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols
(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection
from the GA-1040 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be
operational at the same time.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

The following steps should be completed before you configure the GA-1040 and the
workstations that will print to the GA-1040. A service technician will have performed
some initial installation.
TO

PREPARE FOR

GA-1040

CONFIGURATION

Print a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.

With the copier turned off, connect the network cable to the GA-1040, as described in
the next section.

The network should already be installed and operational.
3.

Turn on the copier.

Prepare network servers to share GA-1040 user software and to enable networked
users to print to the GA-1040, and proceed to Setup.

See Chapters 2 through 4 for details.

Ethernet cable connection

Ethernet cable connection
The GA-1040 supports Ethernet cabling with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable
and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT or
defined as Category 3 or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable plugs into the
RJ-45 socket on the GA-1040.
N OTE : The 100BaseT type supported by the GA-1040 is 100BaseTX, also known as

Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term
“100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.

Connecting to the Network

Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the GA-1040 can accept print jobs
from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is
advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks
using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network port.
TO

USE PARALLEL CABLE

With the copier and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to the
parallel port of the GA-1040.

See the illustration on page 1-11 for the location of the parallel port.
2.

Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.

Turn on the computer and the copier.

Proceed to Setup.

To print to the parallel port, you need to set up the parallel port connection (see
“Parallel Setup” on page 2-10). For information on setting up printing, see Getting
Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.

Chapter 2:
Setting up
the GA-1040

About GA-1040 Setup

The GA-1040 fits into a variety of work environments. To prepare for printing at your
site, you need to do some initial configuration to specify the network environment and
the kind of printing you will do.

About GA-1040 Setup
For Setup, you need a live network connection so the GA-1040 can query the network
for zones, servers, server-based queues, and other essential information. When you set
an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the GA-1040 during Setup, you can
allow the GA-1040 to get these addresses automatically.
On Novell or Windows NT (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers should
be configured for printing to the GA-1040 before you enter network settings on the
GA-1040. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-9 give chapter references for Network
Setup.
Whenever the configuration of the GA-1040, a copier, or the network itself changes at
your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment.
Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the
corresponding settings.
N OTE : Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more

than one Setup area.

2-2

N OTE : Enabling the parallel port does not conflict with using Ethernet communication

with the GA-1040.

2-11

Protocol Setup

Time Out
1-300 [30]

This option determines how long the GA-1040 waits without receiving data from the
parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the
GA-1040 cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to
receive network print jobs.
Ignore EOF
Yes/No [Yes]

This option specifies that the GA-1040 should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages in a
file. This option must be set to Yes to print PostScript files in binary format (not
ASCII); under normal circumstances, it should be set to No. When this option is set to
Yes, the GA-1040 uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of
the file has been reached.

Protocol Setup
In Protocol Setup you specify network addresses and names to be used by
workstations, servers, and the GA-1040 when they communicate with each other. To
configure the GA-1040, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that protocol.
You can enable AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX communication simultaneously.
Before you begin, confirm that the network cable is connected to the GA-1040.
During Network Setup, the GA-1040 queries the network for zones, servers, and
server-based queues. If you perform Port Setup or Protocol Setup without a connected
and functioning network, default settings are used that may not meet your needs.
If the GA-1040 is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically
switches to the correct protocol when it receives a print job. When the parallel port
and network port are enabled, print jobs can be received over both ports at the same
time.

2-12

Setting up the GA-1040

For each item you enable, you are prompted to enter settings pertaining to that item.
You specify network addresses and names to be used by workstations, servers, and the
GA-1040 when they communicate with each other. You need to display and select
options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your
network requirements change, you can change the Setup options later.

The options appear in sequence, as described below. Default values, where applicable,
appear in square brackets.

TCP/IP Setup
Enter the appropriate settings for the network type you use. If your network uses a
gateway, enter the gateway address in the Gateway section.
When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the GA-1040 during
Setup, you can allow the GA-1040 to get these addresses automatically from a DHCP,
BOOTP, or RARP server. First, turn on or reboot the GA-1040 and allow it to reach
Idle. Next, make sure the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server is running. Finally,
perform Setup.
Ethernet
Enable TCP/IP
Enable/Disable [Enable]

Select Yes if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the GA-1040 over Ethernet
cabling.

2-13

Protocol Setup

Enable Auto IP
Enable/Disable [Enable]

You can allow the GA-1040 to obtain its Ethernet IP address by searching the network.
Depending on your network and the protocol you select in the following option
(DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change. If you do not enable this
option, proceed to the IP Address option and set a static IP address, which will not
change.
Select protocol
Auto/DHCP/BOOTP/RARP [DHCP]

This option is valid only if you enabled Auto IP. Select the protocol over which the
GA-1040 should search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the
GA-1040 to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP
obtains only the Ethernet IP address.
Depending on your network, the GA-1040 might be assigned a different address after
you reboot the GA-1040. With the DHCP setting, the GA-1040 can be assigned a
different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already configured
properly for the protocol you select.
IP Address

Enter the GA-1040 IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an IP address set
automatically, remains the same if you reboot the GA-1040. You must change the
default to a valid address for your network.
Subnet Mask

This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet.
To set the subnet mask, enter one of the following values:
• 255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128
• 255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191
• 255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191
N OTE : Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before

proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.

concerned with GA-1040 print jobs. PServer is a program in the GA-1040 that
services all the NetWare print queues assigned to the NetWare print servers you have
set up for printing to the GA-1040. When you choose NetWare Setup and enable
PServer, you can set up NDS (Novell Directory Services), Bindery Services, or both.
NDS is used with NetWare 4.x/5.x; Bindery Services are used with NetWare 3.x or
with NetWare 4.x/5.x in bindery emulation mode.
Enable Bindery Server
Enable/Disable [Disable]

Select this option if you have a NetWare network connected to the GA-1040.
Bindery Setup options
Use Bindery Setup if you have already configured one or more bindery servers (file
servers running NetWare 3.x or NetWare 4.x/5.x in bindery emulation) with a Print
Server and a Print Queue for GA-1040 jobs. Before entering bindery settings, be sure
the GA-1040 is connected to the network and the NetWare file server is running. You
need a login name, and, if access to the file server or print server is restricted, you need
a login password.

2-15

Protocol Setup

Because you can set up more than one Novell server to handle GA-1040 print jobs,
additional options are provided for this purpose.
File Server

Enter the name of the server on which you have configured a print server and print
queue to handle GA-1040 print jobs.
Bindery Print Server

Enter the name of the print server that you have configured in the NetWare utility
PCONSOLE. This is the print server that will route print jobs to the GA-1040 from
computers on IPX networks.
Password

NDS Setup options
Before entering NDS settings, be sure the GA-1040 is connected to the network and
you have already configured an NDS directory tree with a Printer, a Print Server, and
one or more Print Queue objects for GA-1040 jobs. To perform NDS Setup you may
need permission to browse the NDS tree. If access to the Print Server is restricted, you
need a login password.
The main objective of NDS Setup is to specify the Print Server object. In addition, you
can indicate the location of the GA-1040 print queues.
Use NDS Setup if your network uses NetWare 4.x/5.x in native mode. Use Bindery
Setup if your network uses NetWare 3.x or uses NetWare 4.x/5.x in bindery emulation
mode.
Enable NDS

select No, jobs are deleted from the GA-1040 disk immediately after they are printed.
Jobs Saved in Printed Queue—This option appears only if Enable Printed Queue is set

to Yes. Specify the number of jobs to be stored in the Printed queue. Note that jobs in
the Printed queue take up space on the GA-1040 hard disk.
Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs—Specify whether the GA-1040 prints the Job Log

after every 55 jobs. The Job Log lists the last 55 jobs processed on the GA-1040, with
accounting information about each one, including user name, document name, time
and date printed, number of pages, and other job information.
Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 Jobs—Specify whether the GA-1040 clears the Job Log

after every 55 jobs. If you do not turn on this option, the GA-1040 saves a file
containing a record of all jobs ever printed. Since this file takes up space on the
GA-1040 hard disk, clearing the Job Log frees up additional disk space. You can clear
the Job Log manually at any time from the job management tools.

TCP/IP Setup
To configure the GA-1040, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that
protocol. You can enable AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX communication
simultaneously.
Enter the appropriate settings for the network type you use. If your network uses a
gateway, enter the gateway address in the Gateway section.
When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the GA-1040 during
Setup, you can allow the GA-1040 to get these addresses automatically from a DHCP,
BOOTP, or RARP server. First, turn on or reboot the GA-1040 and allow it to reach
Idle. Next, make sure the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server is running. Finally,
perform GA-1040 Setup.
Ethernet
Enable Ethernet—Select this option if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the
GA-1040 over Ethernet cabling.
Enable Auto IP—Select this option to allow the GA-1040 to obtain its Ethernet IP

address by searching the network. Depending on your network and the protocol you
select in the following option (DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change.
Deselect this option to assign the GA-1040 a static IP address, which will not change.
Proceed to the IP Address option, where you manually set the IP address.
Select protocol—If you have enabled Auto IP, select the protocol over which the

GA-1040 should search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the
GA-1040 to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP
obtains only the Ethernet IP address.

3-7

Network Setup options

Depending on your network, the GA-1040 might be assigned a different address after
you reboot the GA-1040. With the DHCP setting, the GA-1040 can be assigned a
different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already configured
properly for the protocol you select.
IP Address—Enter the GA-1040 IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an

IP address set automatically, remains the same if you reboot the GA-1040. You must
change the default to a valid address for your network.
Subnet Mask—Modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet.

To set the subnet mask, enter one of the following values:
• 255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128
• 255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191
• 255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191
N OTE : Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before

proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.
Gateway
Enable Auto IP Address (Gateway)—Use this option to get the gateway address
automatically for printing with TCP/IP. This option is valid only if you selected
DHCP or BOOTP as the protocol (see page 2-13).
Gateway Address—Set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP.

IPX/SPX Setup
Select Frame Types—You must select at least one frame type. You can choose Auto,

which allows the GA-1040 to determine the frame type to use on your network.
If you choose Auto, the GA-1040 will bind only to the first frame type it finds, which
is typically 802.2. To ensure that all available frame types are bound, select each one
individually. The GA-1040 supports the following frame types for IPX/SPX:
• For Ethernet—Ethernet 802.2, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, and Ethernet SNAP

NetWare Setup
NetWare Setup allows you to enter the names of the NetWare objects that are
concerned with GA-1040 print jobs. You specify the NetWare print queues assigned
to the Novell print servers you have set up for printing to the GA-1040. You can set
up NDS (Novell Directory Services), Bindery Services, or both. NDS is used with
NetWare 4.x; Bindery Services are used with NetWare 3.x or with NetWare 4.x in
bindery emulation mode. If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, and uses
NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation, the GA-1040 cannot service NDS and
bindery emulation servers on the same NDS tree.
Before entering NDS settings, be sure the GA-1040 is connected to the network and
you have already configured an NDS directory tree with a Printer, a Print Server, and
one or more Print Queue objects for GA-1040 jobs (see page 5-6). The main objective
of NDS Setup is to specify the Print Server object. In addition, you can indicate the
location of the GA-1040 print queues. To perform NDS Setup you may need
permission to browse the NDS tree. If access to the Print Server is restricted, you
need a login password.
Before entering bindery settings, be sure the GA-1040 is connected to the network
and the NetWare file server is running. You need a login name, and, if access to the file
server or print server is restricted, you need a login password. Because you can set up
more than one Novell server to handle GA-1040 print jobs, additional options are
provided for this purpose.
Poll Interval (sec)—Specify the interval, in seconds, at which the GA-1040

communicates with the NetWare print server to see if there are print jobs waiting.
N OTE : If you select a short interval, the amount of network traffic increases. This may

slow down other network jobs.
Enable NDS—Select this option if the NetWare servers you will use to print to the

GA-1040 are running NetWare 4.x in native mode.
NDS Tree—Enter the name of the NDS tree that contains the Printer, Print Server,

and print queue objects you have previously defined on the NetWare server for the
GA-1040.

3-9

Network Setup options

Your new NDS tree selection automatically overwrites any previous tree selection.
If you change the NDS tree selection and there are also current Bindery settings,
they will be deleted. If you continue with NDS Setup, you can replace Bindery
settings afterwards.
NDS Print Server—Enter the name of the Print Server object as “name.context.”

For example, enter “GA-1040_SRV.GA1040.XXX.”.
Password—Enter the Print Server password
Search Root—With this option, you restrict the search for GA-1040 print jobs to a

subtree (the Print Queue root) in which the GA-1040 print queues have been defined.
This makes the search more efficient. Specify the subtree as “.context”. For example,
enter “.GA1040.XXX.”.
Enable Bindery Server 1—Specify whether to use a Bindery server.
File Server—Enter the name of the server on which you have configured a print server

and print queue to handle GA-1040 print jobs.
Bindery Print Server—Enter the name of the print server that you have configured in

the NetWare utility PCONSOLE. This is the print server that will route print jobs to
the GA-1040 from computers on IPX networks.
Password—Enter your print server password.

You can set up additional Bindery servers, up to a maximum of eight.
AppleTalk Setup
Enable AppleTalk—Select this option if you have an AppleTalk network connected to

the GA-1040. This setting enables the GA-1040 to communicate over AppleTalk
networks.
Server Name—This is the name that will appear in the Chooser on an AppleTalk

network.
Zone Name—The GA-1040 searches the network for AppleTalk zones in your network

segment. Scroll the list to select the AppleTalk zone in which you want the GA-1040
to appear. If your segment has only one zone, the GA-1040 is assigned to that zone
automatically.

Other Setup options
In the Other Setup window, you can set up Windows printing, LPD printing, and
Port 9100 printing.
Windows Printing
Windows Setup enables the Microsoft SMB protocol, which supports peer to peer
printing, also known as Windows printing.
Broadcasts from SMB devices cannot pass across a router without a WINS name
server. In the options that follow, you can specify whether to use a WINS name server.
You can even have the GA-1040 obtain the WINS name server IP address
automatically.
For information on how to set up a Windows computer for Windows (SMB) printing,
see Getting Started. Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so TCP/IP must be
configured on all workstations that will use Windows (SMB) printing and on the
GA-1040 as well.
Enable Windows Printing Service—This enables SMB (Server Message Block), the file

and printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the GA-1040
to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular
connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the GA-1040 without any other networking
software.
Server Name—The server name is the name that will appear on the network for

accessing the GA-1040 via SMB. The default name is the same as the server name
assigned in Server Setup (see page 2-6).
Comment—Comments can contain information about the printer. These comments

are listed in the Properties of the GA-1040 in Network Neighborhood.
Domain or Workgroup—Enter the name of the workgroup or domain where you want

the GA-1040 to appear.
Use WINS Name Server—To find out whether a name server is available, contact your

network administrator.

these defaults can be set when users print from an application.
Print to PS Error—Use this option to specify whether the GA-1040 should print the

available portion of a print job when it encounters a PostScript error. Select Yes to print
the portion of the job that was processed before the error occurred; select No to cancel
the print job entirely when a PostScript error is encountered. Leave this option at No
unless you encounter printing problems.
Convert Paper Sizes—Specify whether to convert paper sizes in documents
automatically to the default paper sizes specified. For example, if you select
Letter/Tabloid->A4/A3, a letter size document is automatically printed on A4 paper.
If you select No, the GA-1040 prints the document only if it finds a media source in
the size specified by the file.
Allow Courier Substitution—Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are

unavailable when you download PostScript files to the GA-1040, or when you print a
document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font. If this option is
set to No, jobs with fonts that are not available on the GA-1040 hard drive generate a
PostScript error and do not print.

information from the job management tools.
• When this option is set to Yes, the portion of the job processed before the error
occurred is printed.
Convert Paper Sizes—Specify whether to convert paper sizes in documents
automatically to the default paper sizes specified. For example, if you select Letter/
11x17->A4/A3, a letter size job is automatically printed on A4 paper. If you select No,

Chapter 5:
Setting up
Network Servers

GA-1040 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share
printing to the GA-1040. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocols for communicating with the GA-1040. In addition, it includes some
guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations,
where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the requirements for
network clients to print to the GA-1040 and to run the Fiery utilities and the
Fiery WebTools.
The GA-1040 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and
AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0 workstations.
Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not discussed in
this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0 environment (see “GA-1040 on a
TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0” on page 5-10).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, proceed to page 5-10.

GA-1040 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS
The GA-1040 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the
TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the GA-1040 takes
advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services), using the Novell
Gateway version 2.0.3 or later and Support Pack version 3.0 or later. For IPX printing,
the GA-1040 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS
(Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see
“GA-1040 on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network” on page 5-4.
N OTE : Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
NDPS is not like the earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead,
you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously
handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer

Setting up Network Servers

driver available for clients to download from Windows 95/98/Me/2000 and
Windows NT 4.0 computers.
The GA-1040 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet. During
GA-1040 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for
communication between the GA-1040 and network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the
NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

Tips for experts—NetWare 5.x networks
Setting up the GA-1040 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other
PostScript printer on the network. The following information is useful for experienced
network administrators:
•

Make sure you have a valid IP address for the GA-1040 and for any workstations that
will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

•

In GA-1040 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway
address for the GA-1040. You can enter these manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP
protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.

•

Bi-directional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the GA-1040.

Configuring a NetWare 5.x server for printing
Before you begin
The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5
installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually
unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are
using NetWare 5.x Service Pack version 3.0 or later, and the Novell Gateway version
2.0.3 or later. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your
NetWare documentation.
In GA-1040 Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (page 2-12) on the GA-1040.
You can ping the GA-1040 (page 5-16) to verify that TCP/IP communication is
successful.

GA-1040 on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network
The NetWise™ software built into the GA-1040 supports the following network
operating environments:
• NetWare 4.x—Novell Directory Services (NDS)
• NetWare 3.x—Bindery services
• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode
N OTE : Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare 3.x,
or running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to
describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native
mode.
NetWare clients print to the GA-1040 through the Novell network server. Server setup
and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in
Getting Started, and printing is described in the Printing Guide.

GA-1040 on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network

The GA-1040 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet. During

between the GA-1040 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a
communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare
server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the GA-1040 is similar to setting up another printer on the network.
The following information is all that experienced network administrators need.
The GA-1040 with IPX connections has these characteristics:
•

Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also
supported through bindery emulation.

•

A minimum connection to the GA-1040 consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare
print server, and a NetWare queue.

•

A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be
configured simultaneously.

•

The GA-1040 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

•

Each print server can store jobs for any queue on the GA-1040.

Overview of IPX printing to the GA-1040
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for
print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to
a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,
freeing up the client workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection
and the Print, and Hold queues on the GA-1040. The NetWare queue names should
be given an extension corresponding to the GA-1040 print connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
N OTE : The extension names must be in all lowercase and must be in English.

5-6

Setting up Network Servers

There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however
you should reboot the GA-1040 after a queue is created or removed.
When the GA-1040 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare
server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the
network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Hold to Hold, Direct to Direct.
While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can
access the Job Log containing these records at any time.

Configuring a NetWare server for printing
The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so that networked
users can print to the GA-1040 from their workstations, and the GA-1040 can obtain
print jobs from the NetWare server.
For each NetWare file server that you configure, follow these general steps. More detail
is provided in subsequent sections and in your NetWare documentation.
• Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.
• Log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare file server.
• For NetWare 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 5-8).
• For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 5-8).
• For NetWare 3.x and for NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a file server, a
print server, and a print queue for the GA-1040 (see page 5-9).
With bindery services, you can route all GA-1040 print jobs through the same
NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file server to handle GA-1040
jobs.
The functions you perform on the Novell server, on the GA-1040, and on the client
workstation, are summarized in the following tables. The first table applies to NDS
connections, the second to bindery connections. Complete the operations in the left
column, then the center column, then the right column.

Setting up Network Servers

Setting up an NDS connection
In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure.
Objects have a name, properties, and a context which defines the location of the object
in the directory tree. For the GA-1040 you are mainly concerned with defining a
printer, a print server object and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created
in NetWare administrator programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or NetWare
Administrator.
The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object
is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers
(which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects).
Access to objects is controlled by rights that are defined as properties of each object.
Rights are established by network administrators.

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context
You can connect only one directory tree to the GA-1040. If you need to connect
additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation, which
causes the 4.x server to behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.x server.
N OTE : The file server selected must not be in the same tree as that selected in NDS

Setup.
Up to eight bindery servers, whether in native 3.x mode or in 4.x emulation, can
connect to the GA-1040. If your server is using NetWare 3.x, proceed to “Setting up a
GA-1040 print queue for bindery” on page 5-9.
In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to
the GA-1040, the network administrator must do the following:
• Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and
the print queue for the GA-1040 will be created.
The container defines the “bindery context” for your network structure.
• Edit the network startup file to set the bindery context.
• Activate the new bindery context.

5-9

GA-1040 on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network

Setting up a GA-1040 print queue for bindery
For NetWare 3.x and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWare print server and print queue
for GA-1040 are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE),
a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory.
As with NDS, first you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you
select them in Network Setup on the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display.
Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing
Before setting up client workstations for printing, make sure you perform Port Setup
and Protocol Setup on the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display, and that the settings reflect
the entities you created in the NetWare administrator utilities (see page 5-6).
N OTE : For printing to the GA-1040, connect all Windows clients to a Novell NetWare

server and permit them to connect to the server or servers on which you defined a
GA-1040 queue.
After the Novell server and the GA-1040 have been set up, client setup consists of:
• Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and
permitting the client to log in to the NetWare file server.
On Windows 95/98/Me/2000 workstations, both the IPX/SPX-compatible
protocol and the Client for NetWare Networks should be loaded from the Network
Control Panel. On Windows NT workstations, Client Service for NetWare should
be installed. Use the CSNW option in Control Panel to set printing options and
specify a preferred NetWare server.
• Setting up the GA-1040 as a PostScript or PCL printer by installing a PostScript or
PCL printer driver.
• Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more NetWare
queues that have been defined for the GA-1040.
See Getting Started for details on how to connect Windows 95/98/Me/2000 and
Windows NT 4.0 workstations.
• Installing GA-1040 software.

TCP/IP, it can print directly to the GA-1040. If the computer shares the printer over
the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0 clients. The client
machines print to the GA-1040 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server.
Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT 4.0 server
machine.
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can also run Fiery utilities from a Windows
NT 4.0 Server or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation computer. Windows 95/98/Me/2000
clients can also run the Fiery WebTools over TCP/IP.
The Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the
GA-1040 as an alternative to TCP/IP. When creating a printer to share with AppleTalk
users, do not “capture” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the
server rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, GA-1040 print
connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.
N OTE : Procedures for Windows 2000 are similar to those provided in this section for

Windows NT 4.0.

Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP
When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 computers, note
the following:
•

Make sure you have a valid IP address for the GA-1040 and for any computers that will
print to it.

•

Make sure the Microsoft TCP/IP printing service is installed, and that the computer is
using LPR printing.

•

In GA-1040 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway
address for the GA-1040.

You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to
assign them dynamically.

5-11

GA-1040 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

•

Make sure your GA-1040 name and address are listed in a domain name services (DNS)
or a host name database used by your system.

•

Make sure your system host table includes the correct internal name for the GA-1040
as a remote printer.

•

Install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or PostScript) on the Windows NT 4.0
server (see Getting Started).

•

Repeat the installation for everyone who prints to the GA-1040.

Each server and workstation running Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the
TCP/IP protocol and the utility software.

Configuring a Windows NT 4.0 server to support the GA-1040
To configure a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the GA-1040, follow
these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
• Make sure the Microsoft TCP/IP printing service is installed, and that the computer
is using LPR printing.
• Enter the host name of the GA-1040 in the host database used by your system (see
page 5-12).
• On the Windows NT 4.0 server, create a printer for each GA-1040 print
connection, install the appropriate printer drivers (if necessary) and (optionally)
share the printer on the network (see page 5-13).
• Enter the host name and internal name of the GA-1040 in the printer connection.
See Getting Started for more information.

Setting up Network Servers

Adding the GA-1040 to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0 servers and Windows NT 4.0
clients, use the directions in this section.
T O ADD THE GA-1040 TO
W INDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER
1.

TCP/IP

NETWORK WITH A

The hosts file maps remote devices to IP addresses. Users can then communicate with
any device over TCP/IP by using the host name rather than having to remember its
IP address.
For installations that do not have a network administrator or a central host name
database, add the GA-1040 to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0 server. Also add
it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery
utilities.
The Windows NT hosts file provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts file. The
hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same
format as the /etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The format of the hosts entry is:
IP Addresshost name#comments

where indicates that you press the Tab key.
To determine the IP Address and Server Name of your system, print a Configuration page
from the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display (see page 2-20).
N OTE : If the GA-1040 has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host

name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, use the same host name here
as you used for the name of the remote printer in the /etc/printcap file.
2.

On the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display, perform Server Setup, Network Setup and Printer
Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the GA-1040, Subnet mask, and
Gateway address).

5-13

GA-1040 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

Installing the GA-1040 as a shared PostScript printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer
driver and the GA-1040 PostScript printer description file (PPD), which gives your
applications access to some printer features. The installation instructions in Getting
Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to
the GA-1040. However, if you are an administrator running Windows NT 4.0 Server
or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients
on the network. When a printer is shared, clients who are not able or are not given
permission to establish an independent network connection to the GA-1040 have to
print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the GA-1040 printer files.
If you have not yet installed the GA-1040 printer files on the Windows NT 4.0 print
server computer, do so now following the instructions in Getting Started. During
installation, enter the information necessary to share the GA-1040.
If you have already installed the GA-1040 printer files on the computer you are using
as a Windows NT 4.0 print server, see your Windows documentation for information
about sharing the GA-1040.
If more than one GA-1040 print connection is published (for example, if both the
Print queue and the Hold queue are published), you may wish to create a printer for
each print connection so that you and other users can print to each connection
directly. When prompted to specify the printer name, you may want to enter a name
that indicates the GA-1040 print connection.

5-14

Setting up Network Servers

Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0 server
Each client of a Windows NT 4.0 server is already using a network protocol to
communicate with the server. Each client can print to the GA-1040 if it has been
shared by a Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation computer.
In that case the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to
the Windows NT 4.0 server as the server uses to communicate with the GA-1040.
T O CONNECT AND PRINT TO
W INDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER
•

THE

GA-1040

SHARED BY THE

For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients, before printing, connect to the print server
computer and select the GA-1040. Right mouse click and choose the Open command.
When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.

After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page
Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for
their own job, but printer properties are grayed and not available for changing. When a
client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0 print server, and
from there to the selected queue on the GA-1040. The job is listed in the Print
Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the GA-1040
window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0 print server.

Configuring the GA-1040 and clients for Fiery WebTools
The Fiery WebTools offer access to many GA-1040 functions via the Internet (or your
company’s intranet), thus providing additional flexibility in remote management. You
can access the Fiery WebTools from a Mac OS or Windows computer.

Setting up Network Servers

Setting up the GA-1040 on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the GA-1040, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). If the network is being set up for the first
time, it is a good idea to start out with addresses that can be used with the public
Internet. Contact your Internet service provider to obtain an address for the GA-1040.
TO

SET UP

TCP/IP

FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE

GA-1040

A superuser (with root login) must add the GA-1040 to the network’s IP host table or
other system database of network printers.

In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the GA-1040 name you assigned.

Make the GA-1040 available as a printer to other network users.

To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:

ping

Type the GA-1040 IP address assigned in GA-1040 Network Setup.
After the GA-1040 is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave
to the GA-1040
ping

The server should respond with a message such as
is alive

Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address.
To stop the output, type Control-C. You can use the ping command at any time.

Maintaining optimal performance
The GA-1040 does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of
servicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables, there are a few
things you can do that will improve the overall performance of your system:
•

Make sure you are making the best use of your network connections

Publish only connections that will be used; the GA-1040 constantly checks all
published connections, even if they are inactive. Match the NetWare polling interval
and the number of queues or connections to the demand for printing.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to reestablish them when needed. In
general, network connections provide far superior throughput than a parallel port
connection.

6-3

•

Maintaining optimal performance

Reduce the number of printed pages by choosing not to print a cover page by default
unless you need cover pages for recordkeeping

Printing cover pages by default is a PS Setup option.
•

Leave some jobs that are less urgent to times when there is less network traffic or
printing

Recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent can be printed to the Hold queue.
At low-traffic times, the administrator can move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs
to the Print queue for printing.
•

Reduce unnecessary two-way communication

Large numbers of remote users using the Fiery utilities, especially with frequent
updates, may have a significant effect on GA-1040 performance.
•

Make sure you have adequate disk space on the GA-1040

Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs being
retained in the Printed queue.
An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed and Hold queues.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the GA-1040 is
frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) and elect not
to publish the Hold queue (in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use Fiery WebSpooler. When you free up disk
space by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.
An internal hard drive upgrade may be available. Check with your service
representative for more information.

Administering the GA-1040

Troubleshooting
Startup diagnostics are described in the Installation and Service Guide, which is the
documentation for service technicians. Contact your authorized service/support center
if you see any startup error messages on the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display, or if the
GA-1040 does not reach Idle status.

Troubleshooting during Setup
The following section explains some error and alert messages that you may see during
GA-1040 Setup that might not be self-explanatory.
In Network Setup, when you are configuring your IPX (Novell) connection, the
GA-1040 queries the network for Novell file servers and print servers, and attaches to
them temporarily. If a guest login is enabled, it will be used. If not, you are prompted
to log in from the GA-1040 Touch Panel Display.
If the selected NetWare file server does not have a guest account, or if the guest account
has expired or has been disabled by the NetWare supervisor, you are prompted to
notify the IPX (Novell) administrator. In that case, you (or the supervisor) have two
options:
• Enable a guest account on the NetWare server for the purpose of setup.
• Log in to a different account. At the ENTER LOGIN NAME screen, change the default
name (guest) to supervisor or enter another valid login name. When you are
prompted for a password, enter the correct password for the account you named.
For any Novell error, make sure:
• Your IPX (Novell) network is connected to the GA-1040.
• The NetWare server you are trying to access is running.
• The Novell network has been configured with at least one print server and queue for
the GA-1040.
• You have the appropriate permissions.
• Each NetWare server is using one of the frame types you have set on the GA-1040 in
Network/IPX/SPX Setup.

Administering the GA-1040

Printer not found—TCP/IP or IPX networks
Most failures to find a printer on the network are due to conflicting or missing name or
address settings for the GA-1040. You must enter particular names in certain places.
The required names are:
• TCP/IP host name or DNS name, which is defined by the network administrator
and should be fewer than 10 characters long.
Enter the host name as the Server Name on the Touch Panel Display.
• Remote printer (internal machine) name.
Use either print or hold.
See Getting Started for more information on setting up the remote printer name for
Windows NT 4.0.
You must reconfigure one of the Fiery utilities on each workstation if you change the
TCP/IP host name or DNS name of the GA-1040. Check the following table for the
appropriate name to use.

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to GA-1040 with the Fiery utilities
If clients cannot connect to the GA-1040 with the Fiery utilities, check the following:
• GA-1040 Setup—the appropriate network protocol must be enabled, with the
correct parameters (for example, for TCP/IP, the IP address, etc.; for IPX, a correct
frame type setting), and you must have published the Print queue.
Verify that in IPX/SPX Setup the IPX network protocol has bound to all the frame
types in use by the NetWare servers that handle GA-1040 print jobs. You can check
these settings quickly by printing a Setting List.
• On the client workstation—the appropriate network protocol(s) must be loaded,
and your Windows folder should contain a configured Efinl.ini file.
