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.  
O
N
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.

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.  
O
N
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

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.  
Yes  
Use Server  
Print Queues?

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.

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.

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 0040C81234ABwould advertise itself

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.  
O
N
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 arpor arp /helpfor 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.

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.

¥
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.

3.4.2 Kodak Printer/Proofer NIC Icon Names  
In the Discovery map, the following icon represents Kodak printers or  
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.

¥ 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.  
F
A
S
T
M
A
N
A
G
E
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  
workgroupwith 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.

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, -d1or -d2switch:  
F
A
S
T
M
A
N
A
G
E
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 -d1switch was used with the  
showprn.exe tool, use it on the NBMONcommand 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.

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.

¥
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.  
N
O
V
E
L
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.  
L
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.  
N
E
T
W
A
R
E
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  
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.  
N
O
V
E
L
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.

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  
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:  
<Appletalk printer name>:<Appletalk zone>  
For example, enter the following command:  
ÒKodak Printer:Kprinter_ZoneÓ  
N
O
V
E
L
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.  
L
To create a different queue name, enter the following command:  
<Appletalk name>:<Appletalk zone> -o <queuename>  
For example, enter:  
N
E
T
W
A
R
E
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

Use the following procedure to add a printer, install a PostScript driver,  
and select a server print queue to use for printing. If problems occur,  
refer to the Windows 95 documentation, README FIles, and software  
provided with your system. You may also need to consult the user guides  
and README Þles provided with your printer and your applications.  
There is general information about potential third- party solutions and  
tools, i.e.,Windows 95 LPR, in Appendix B. Kodak is not responsible for  
troubleshooting solutions provided by alternate vendors.  
If NetBeui is enabled on the NIC, you can add a printer using Network

Problem Downloading non-NT drivers from NT Servers  
NT systems are supposed to support automatic downloading of other OS  
drivers when users conÞgure their OS for printing to an NT queue. For  
non-NT OSs, i.e., Windows 95, the proper Kodak OS driver is not  
downloaded. When a printer is shared on a server, do not select other  
OSs that will use the queue. Drivers should be installed locally on all non-  
NT systems serviced by a server.

Corrupted Image Data  
On NT servers, you may encounter corrupt image data when you print

prevent this from happening, set up your server to accept the entire print  
job before passing the Þle on to the printer. To do this, do NOT select Job  
Prints While Spooling in Server Properties.

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  
U
N
I
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.  
X
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:  
July 1998  
10-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Unix Environment  
¥
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.  
U
N
I
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)  
X
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  
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 aliveor Packets received OKshould  
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.  
U
N
I
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).  
X
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.

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.

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.

Kodak printers with the PS extension support both PostScript and raster  
printing. Models without the PS extension support only raster mode.  
N
T
I
N
G
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

E
N
D
I
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.  
X
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.

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.  
X
C
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.  
July 1998  
C-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults  
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.  
A
P
P
E
N
D
I
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.  
X
C
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  
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.  
A
P
P
E
N
D
I
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.  
X
Finalize the download in this way for two reasons:  
C
¥
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.

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.

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.  
X
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.  
D
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.
