Load Paper light comes on and the Press Button light blinks. Follow the instructions from your driver’s
pop-up menu to print the corresponding back side to each page.
Although you can use tray 1 or the optional tray 2 to print the first side of the duplex job, only use tray
1 to print the second side.
You can also choose how you want your job duplexed: Long Edge or Short Edge.
Long Edge means pages are bound along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait, top edge for
landscape).

Setting up the network printer
Print servers connect printers to networks. This lets many users access printers from their own
workstations, a very cost effective way to share powerful and expensive printers. It is not necessary to
buy an extra personal computer to attach each printer to the network. You use the print server instead.
Environments we support
Print servers support an extraordinarily wide range of network environments.
Any single print server on any given physical network can accept and process print jobs from any or all
of these logical networks concurrently. For example, if a MarkNet XI physically attaches a printer to an
Ethernet network, then a NetWare client and an AppleTalk user can send print jobs to the printer
simultaneously. The print jobs are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Connect the hardware
Instructions on connecting the Ethernet cable to your network-model printer can be found in the printer
Setup Book. To view the Setup Book from this CD, click the Home icon Other Resources PDFs for
Printing Setup Guide.
Print a network setup page
Push the operator panel button with a brief button press to print a network setup page showing the
physical address of the network printer. A printer settings page prints first and after a few moments a
network setup page prints. Save the network setup page because you will use it later.

Configure and print
TCP/IP
Step 1: Set the IP address, netmask and gateway
You must assign an IP address, netmask and gateway to the print server in order for other network
devices to find it on the network.
•
If you have DHCP, the proper addresses are automatically assigned. To verify the assignment
has happened, print a network setup page and make sure the IP address, netmask and
gateway appear as non-zero.
•
If you don’t have DHCP, there are other methods you can use to manually assign the address,
such as static ARP and telnet, or a setup utility.
DHCP
This method automatically sets the IP address, netmask, gateway, host name, and WINS server using
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The DHCP server or a forwarding agent must
be attached to the same IP subnet as the print server. Make sure the DHCP server has scope defined
for the subnet.
Ensure that the DHCP server provides the following options:
001 Netmask
Netmask for IP subnet
003 Router
IP address of router (such as 9.10.8.250)
IP address of WINS server
044 WINS/NBNS Server
If you are using a WINS server, telnet to port 9000 to set the print server host name.
Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility
The Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility is a simple way to set the IP address and other important IP
parameters in a print server. You can set up one or many print servers using this method with no need
to physically visit the printers.
Requirements
You must run the Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility on a Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0, or
Windows 2000 workstation.
The print server must be on the same physical subnet as your workstation. In other words, the Print
Server Setup Utility cannot cross routers, bridges, and so forth.

Launch the drivers CD.
Click Install Software, Printer Software.
Click Custom Install when you see this option.
Select Network Support, and then click Next.
On the Network tab, select Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility, and then Finish Installation.
Static ARP entry and telnet
To set the print server IP address, netmask, and gateway using this method, you add a static entry to
the ARP table on some computer that is on the same IP subnet as the print server. (Source Route
bridging is not supported.) Then, you use telnet.
To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using static ARP entry and telnet:
1
2
Determine the hardware address of the print server. See the item labeled UAA on the network
setup page. For Ethernet networks, use the number in the right column (canonical).
Add a static ARP entry for the IP address. Use the hardware address from step 1. Use the
dotted decimal form of the IP address, such as 157.184.8.231. Use the commands
appropriate to the host operating system. For example, on many UNIX computers you would
type something similar to the following example:
arp -s ether 157.184.8.231 00:04:00:30:00:44
If you need help and are using a UNIX system, try the man page for ARP.
Use telnet to access the print server. For UNIX systems, use the following command:
telnet 157.184.8.231 9000
3
4
where address is the print server host name (or print server IP address in dotted decimal
format, such as 157.184.8.231). The print server port is 9000.
Follow the instructions on the screen to set the print server IP address, netmask and gateway.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with a print server on a TCP/IP network, do the following steps in the order
shown before you call the place where you bought your printer.
1
Press the operator panel button with a brief button press to print a network settings page.
Look under the TCP/IP heading on the network setup page to see if there is an IP address
listed for the print server and that the TCP/IP protocol is turned on (activated).
If TCP/IP is turned off, use the IPX protocol to activate it. Select the printer and then select the
TCP/IP task. Check the Enable box to activate TCP/IP.
2
Issue a ping command to the print server.
ping 157.184.8.231
89

3
4
Establish an FTP session with the print server. Expect the print server to return its current
firmware level (such as 2.5.15).
ftp 157.184.8.231
Using the FTP “put” command, print a file. This file can be PCL or PostScript emulations, PDF,
HTML, or any other printer language the printer understands. If the file prints, this confirms the
TCP/IP protocol is working properly in the print server.
put mytest.ps or
put mytest.txt
5
Check the port settings on the printer object. For example, in Windows 95 do the following:
a
Click Start, Settings, Printers, select the printer object; click File, Properties, Details tab,
Port Settings button.
b
Check all parameters on the Print Server Settings tab and the TCP/IP Settings tab. You
can change some of the values from this tab. Others, like TCP/IP address, you cannot
change from this tab.
c
If a parameter is wrong but you cannot change it from here, you must delete the port, fix
the problem, and then add the port back.
6
7
Check all the settings in the print server. Type the MarkNet IP address in the URL address
field of your browser (for example, http://157.184.8.231), which takes you to the MarkNet
resident web page.
If you have trouble printing from an application, the problem might be the way your workstation
or application is set up.
a
Try printing from some other application. If the job prints from the second application, the
problem is with the first application.
b
Make sure you are using the current version of the driver for the problem application.
8
Try printing again.
Step 2: Set up to print
There are many ways to send a network print job including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD, point-and-print (IP)
and various queue-based methods.
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server
To use this method, you must have at least one server running Windows NT Server software and TCP/
IP.
Use direct IP printing if all you want to do is print directly to a network printer. If you need to centrally
manage your network printers, see instructions for shared printing.
If all you want is basic printer functionality, you can use a system printer driver and a system IP port,
such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. Using a system printer driver and a system port lets you
maintain a consistent user interface for use with all the printers on your network.
To get the fullest range of printer functionality, including a job status window and printer alerts, you
need to install a custom driver and create a Network Port.

Novell NetWare
Queue-based printing
Set up the printer using the Network Printer Utility
The easiest way to configure the print server for NetWare jobs in non-NDPS and non-NEPS
environments is to use the Network Printer Utility for NetWare. The Network Printer Utility
automatically creates all the necessary NetWare objects (print queue objects, print server objects, and
printer objects).
Do the following from a Windows NT workstation running Novell NetWare Client32 software, or from a
Windows 95 or Windows 98 workstation running either Novell Client32 or Microsoft Client for NetWare
networks.
1
Install the Network Printer Utility for NetWare on the workstation. This software is located the
following directory on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer (X=the drive letter of your
CD-ROM drive).
X:/Interwin/instwin.exe
a

c
Double-click instwin.exe.
Select your language, and then click OK.
Select to use Existing Program Group, and then click OK.
The Network Printer Utility is installed on the workstation in a directory called netprint.
2
On the Windows desktop, click Start Printer Network Printer Utility.
This program finds all the network printers containing on-board network functionality or
MarkNet internal printer servers that are on the same sub-net. It will also find any printers
attached to MarkNet external print servers.

From the File menu, click Setup.
Select Quick or Customized, then select the mode.
–
If you want to manage NDS queues, you must specify the NDS tree and context where
the MarkNet print server is defined. You also need to create or select queues to be
serviced.

If you want to manage bindery queues, you must first specify the file servers. Afterward,
you must create or select queues to be serviced.

If prompted to reset the print server, select Yes to immediately begin servicing the queues.
Choosing NPRINTER/RPRINTER or PSERVER
When configuring your print server, you’ll have to set it up in either NPRINTER/RPRINTER or in
PSERVER.
How NPRINTER/RPRINTER works
A MarkNet print server configured in NPRINTER/RPRINTER acts as a remote printer. This remote
printer receives print jobs from a NetWare print server. The NetWare print server, a program called
PSERVER.NLM running on a NetWare server, obtains print jobs from a queue and sends them to the
remote printer.
How PSERVER works
A MarkNet print server set up in PSERVER acts as a NetWare print server attached to NetWare
servers. This print server obtains print jobs from queues located on one or more file servers.
PSERVER print servers actually log into NetWare servers as a NetWare client and require one
NetWare user license per PSERVER device.
NPRINTER vs. PSERVER in IntraNetWare
NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
Print servers are fully supported in IntraNetWare NDS, using either NetWare NPRINTER or
PSERVER. If you use bindery emulation, you cannot use NPRINTER.
NPRINTER in IntraNetWare NDS
Advantage of using NPRINTER in NDS:
•
Does not require a NetWare server user license
Disadvantages of using NPRINTER in NDS:
99
Argecy Computer Corporation 248-324-1800

Little information is available about the print job. After a job leaves a print server queue, it is removed
from the queue, regardless of whether it actually prints. This could cause a print job to be lost if the
printer is turned off in the middle of the print job. This is inherent in the NetWare design.
Notes about printing performance:
Many people prefer to configure their print servers in PSERVER. In early versions of NetWare,
PSERVER performance was significantly better than NPRINTER/RPRINTER performance.
This performance difference is less for IntraNetWare. Actual print job throughput is affected by many
other factors such as topology, job size and content, and print server settings. Under many
circumstances, NPRINTER provides an excellent IntraNetWare NDS solution.
PSERVER in IntraNetWare NDS
Advantages of using PSERVER in NDS:
•
•
Does not require that PSERVER.NLM be installed on the NetWare server
Increases performance. Although overall print job throughput is affected by many factors, file
transfer time on the network may be faster using PSERVER because:
In NPRINTER/RPRINTER, NetWare uses SPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data
transmitted in SPX is 512 bytes.
In PSERVER, NetWare uses IPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data transmitted in IPX is
up to 1 Kilobyte for Ethernet and up to 4 Kilobytes for Token-Ring networks.
Because of this difference in packet size, PSERVER may be faster than NPRINTER/
RPRINTER. Actual IPX packet size is negotiated by the client application. This actual IPX
packet size is often less than the maximum because of packet size limitations of gateways and
routers.
If printing is a significant part of your network traffic, and if network traffic is a proven concern
for your network, you may find it better to use the print servers in PSERVER.
Disadvantage of using PSERVER in NDS:
Requires a NetWare server user license for each PSERVER device
Also, in IntraNetWare you can “pool” printers by assigning a single print queue to multiple printers, or
“share” printers by assigning multiple print queues to a single printer. Be careful when configuring
“pooled” printer environments because the printers need to have the same capabilities in terms of
printer data stream and resources such as fonts, forms, internal memory, resolution, and so on.
Though Novell recommends assigning one print queue per printer for ease of management, it may be
useful to “share” a printer between multiple queues when a printer supports multiple emulations such
as PostScript and PCL.

RPRINTER vs. PSERVER in NetWare 3.x
Print servers are fully supported in NetWare 3.x, using either RPRINTER or PSERVER.
RPRINTER in NetWare 3.x
Advantage of using RPRINTER in NetWare 3.x:
Does not require a NetWare server user license
Disadvantages of using RPRINTER in NetWare 3.x:
Little information is available about the print job. After a job leaves a print server queue, it is removed
from the queue, regardless of whether it actually prints. This could cause a print job to be lost, if the
printer is turned off in the middle of the print job. This is inherent in the NetWare design.
PSERVER in NetWare 3.x
Advantages of using PSERVER in NetWare 3.x:
•
•
•
Does not require that PSERVER.NLM be installed on the NetWare server.
Does not require you to unload PSERVER.NLM or restart your computer after installation.
Performance. Although overall print job throughput is affected by many factors, file transfer
time on the network may be significantly faster using PSERVER.
In NPRINTER/RPRINTER, NetWare uses SPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data
transmitted in SPX is 512 bytes.
In PSERVER, NetWare uses IPX to transfer packets. Packet size for data transmitted in IPX is
up to 1 Kilobyte for Ethernet networks.
Because of this difference in packet size, PSERVER may be faster than NPRINTER/
RPRINTER. Please note, however, that actual IPX packet size is negotiated by the client
application. This actual IPX packet size is often less than the maximum because of packet
size limitations of gateways and routers.
If printing is a significant part of your network traffic, and if network traffic is a proven concern
for your network, you may find it better to use the print servers in PSERVER.
Print servers can connect to as many as 16 file servers, with a total of 32 queues per print server,
distributed any way you want among the servers.
Disadvantage of using PSERVER in NetWare 3.x:
Requires a NetWare server user license for each PSERVER device.
