cl 0 Note: Windows NT: see Chapter 4 for information on using a Windows NT environment with DLC Transport protocol or TCP/IP. UNIX: see Chapter 5 for details about using several variations of UNIX. This chapter includes information about using UNIX with TCP/IP.
A remote printer is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the network, but under the control of a NetWare print server. Traditionally, a remote printer is connected to a network workstation running NetWare’s RPRINTER, but the Ethernet Card can also function as a remote printer.
Chapter 1 Installing the Ethernet Card This chapter explains how to install the Ethernet Card in your printer. Subsequent chapters describe how to install the interface on your network. See the section that applies to your particular network for more information.
Installing in a printer Before installing the Ethernet Card, see your printer manual for instructions on installing the optional interface card; these will be in the section on using printer options.
Connecting the network cable Once the board is installed in your printer, you must attach the network cable to the interface. The Ethernet Card can accept either a 10BASE-T or 10BASE network cable.
Ethernet Card Operation The LED lights and the status sheet function can provide you with important information about the operation of the Ethernet Card. lights This section describes the Ethernet Card indicator light behavior, including when you first turn on the host printer, during normal conditions, and when errors occur.
Printer initialization After Ethernet Card installation, the red and green status lights on the interface flash simultaneously during printer initialization. Network recognition and normal operation At start up, the Ethernet Card checks all active NetWare file servers.
Note: If the status sheet does not print, first make sure that the printer is on line. If it is on line but the status sheet still does not print, you will have to reset the printer by turning it off and back on. R Caution: After turning off the power, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.
Using Novell Net Ware The Ethernet Card can function as a print server or remote printer running under Novell NetWare. It also has an Auto Print Server/Remote Printer mode that allows it to switch modes depending on network conditions. The following sections describe how to configure the interface card to operate in each of these modes.
lnstalling the utility software Follow these steps to install the EPSON Net! utility software. For Windows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Make sure Windows is running and the Main window is open. Insert the EPSON Net! for NetWare disk in drive A (or B). Choose Run from the File menu.
Print Server mode In Print Server mode, the card performs all print server functions and can service up to 32 queues and eight file servers. No VAP (Value-Added Process) or NLM (NetWare Loadable Module ® ) is required. When you send a print job from your application, the file server assigns the print job to a print queue.
You can set up these parameters on the Ethernet Card with the EPSON Net! utility. Once the interface card is set up, it will store these settings, which means that you will normally only need to do this once at the time of installation.
Using the Ethernet Card in Print Server Mode The Ethernet Card is set to Print Server mode by default, so you don’t have to make any special settings to use it in this mode. However, you must assign a print queue(s) to the card in a file server. See the following section for instructions.
4. In the NetWare Status dialog box, click Edit to configure the printer. 5. The NetWare config dialog box appears. Make sure the Print Server radio button is selected as shown below.
6. The default printer name appears in the Print Server name box. If you want to rename the printer, simply type the new name into the box. 7. To assign a print queue to your print server, click Add. The Add queue dialog box appears and shows the queues that are available to the file server.
12. To save your settings, click Save. e Caution: Once you make changes to the Ethernet Curd, you must wait for at least five minutes before turning off or rebooting your printer. Assigning print queues on multiple file servers The EPSON Net! utility allows you to configure print queues on multiple file servers.
2. Select the file server you want to attach to the printer from the File Server list. If you have not already logged on to the selected file server, the Login Fileserver dialog box appears. 3. Enter a user name with supervisor privileges and the password; then click OK.
Changing the configuration in Print Server mode In Print Server mode, you can use the EPSON Net! utility to do the following: Cl Rename the print server 0 Enter a password Cl Set the queue polling time Before editing the Ethernet Card configuration with EPSON Net!, you must first log on to the network with supervisor privileges.
Entering the password A password is not required for Ethernet Card operation. However, if you wish to connect to a restricted file server, you will need to use EPSON Net! to enter the encrypted password. To enter the password, follow these steps: 1. From the NetWare config dialog box, click Password.
1. From the NetWare config dialog, enter a value, in seconds, from 1 to 90 in the Poll Time (sec) box. 2. Click Save to save your setting changes. e Caution: Once you make changes to the Ethernet Card, you must wait for at least five minutes before turning off or rebooting your printer.

Using the Ethernet Card in Auto Print Server/Remote Printer Mode To use the Ethernet Card-equipped printer in Auto Print Server/Remote Printer mode, you must configure it for both print server and remote printer operation.
3 Chapter Using Apple EtherTalk This chapter describes how to install and configure the Ethernet Card for use on an Apple EtherTalk network as well as how to use the EPSON Zoner and EPSON Namer utilities.
Renaming Your Printer Because your printer has a default name, you will need to rename it to avoid having multiple printers on the same network with the same name. Choose any name you like for your printer. The EPSON Namer utility renames a selected AppleTalk device (printer).
3. Double-click on the Epson Namer icon to start the utility program. After EPSON Namer searches your network, the following screen appears. You may need to scroll through the list of zones to find the one that contains your printer. Device Types: Select Printer: 11 hc TP SWR ether hd TP System hd TP Sustem 2 AppleTalk Zones: New Name: 4.
5. Choose the zone, if any, that contains the printer you want to rename from the AppleTalk Zones list. 6. Select the printer you want to rename from the Select Printer list. If the zone has only one printer of the type specified in the Device Types list, that printer will be selected automatically.
7. Enter a new name in the New Name box. The name can be up to 32 characters long. bevice Tuoes: Epson Namer I Select Printer: rppleTalk Zones I- New Name: Allison’s printer Note: Do not use a name that is already assigned to an existing printer. 8.
Note: cl cl 9. If you have installed several printers of the same type on the network, they may all have the same name in the Select Printer list. To differentiate between printers, highlight a printer name and then click Identify. The selected printer will print a page to identify itself providing the printer name, type, and zone (if any).
Using EPSON Zoner Some EPSON PostScript printers cannot automatically switch between AppleTalk and non-AppleTalk PostScript printing environments. Therefore, you must first configure your printer for the correct printing environment with the AppleTalk PS option in the EPSON Zoner utility.
5. Highlight your printer name in the Printers list. If there are many devices on the network, you may have to scroll through the list to find your printer. 6. Select the network zone that you want your printer to appear in from the Zones list. Note: The default zone appears as an asterisk (*) in the Zones list.
Chapter 4 Using Windows NT The Ethernet Card provides network printing support in the Windows NT environment with DLC Transport protocol and can be configured without a setup utility. The card also provides printing support for Windows NT when installed with TCP/IP using a special setup utility.
7. Reboot your system for the installation to take effect. Note: To verify that the DLC protocol is installed correctly, check the list of installed Network Software in the Networks dialog box. Configuring the printer Follow these steps to configure the printer: 1.
8. Select LAN Hardware Address (Node Address) from the Card Address list. This address matches the one listed under Node Number on the status sheet. 9. Click the Timer button and select the Job Oriented option. Then click OK. 10. Click OK to exit the Add a Network Peripheral Port dialog box.
Installing LPR Software Follow the steps below to set up Windows NT to print with the Ethernet Card using LPR, or if you have already installed the TCP/IP Network Print Service from TCP/IP Protocol and Related Components, skip to “Configuring your printer” on page 4-7.
8. When the Modify the Network Setting dialog box appears, click Restart System. Configuring the Ethernet Card To communicate with the Ethernet Card using TCP/IP on Windows NT, the network supervisor needs to set the IP address for the Ethernet Card using any TCP/IP capable NT system.
4. Select the correct serial numbers for the Ethernet Card from the list shown in the dialog box; then click Open. The IP Config dialog box appears on the screen and shows the current IP address.
Note: It takes a few seconds to register the IP address change, so there may be a short delay before it is displayed. Configuring your printer Follow the steps below to configure your printer using Windows NT. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Click Print Manager in the Main program group.
Chapter 5 Using UNIX The Ethernet Card supports many standard UNIX commands and can be configured from a host computer without using a special setup utility. Installing and Printing with the Ethernet Card See the following sections for general information concerning setting up (with TCP/IP) and printing.
Unless the network is not yet in existence, however, an address will already have been given to the network section that the Ethernet Card is to be plugged into.
Updating the Hosts file Once the IP address is defined, the /etc/hosts file needs to have this IP address and host name added. For example: 132.147.69.4 Allison Testing the connection Use ping to test if the Ethernet Card is responding. For example, send the following command: PING Allison or PING 132.
After entering the card as a valid network device, it is necessary to set up the remote printer details. Here, the lpr protocol program is given the name of a remote printer, and a host name on which it resides. It is looking for three names to link together: 0 0 0 The name of the local printer which will now be redirected to the Ethernet Card.
Operation After setting up the card, you can use the lpr command from any host to direct a print file to the Ethernet Card. The card does not have to interpret any of the incoming print data, allowing binary image files, font download files, as well as ASCII text to be printed transparently.
Technical For programmers’ information, the Ethernet Card TCP/IP mode responds only to arp packets and to TCP/IP connections made to socket number 0x0203 and the ftp socket. You must use lpr protocol to send data to socket 0x0203. Also, connection attempts to other sockets will meet with no response.
ftp (Form feed) The Ethernet Card will append a form feed to the end of the print job if the destination file is given the name of “FEED” or “feed.
The remote printer name options used to invoke the different filters are as follows: 1Pb 1Pa Binary files (no filters) ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends) 1pbf Binary file with form feed at file end 1paf ASCII file with form feed at file end All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as lpb.
Setting Up Various UNIX Systems This section shows some scripts and setup examples for different types of UNIX systems: Setting up for SCO UNIX Some UNIX systems, such as SCO, do not support the Berkeley lpr print function. The following script allows you to print from within some applications using ftp, which is supported on most TCP/IP systems.
Script 1 General interface program file: NETPRINTER=“basename$0” copies=$4 shift;shift;shift;shift;shift; files=“$*” i=1 while (Si -le $copies) do for file in $files do echo binary > /tmp/ftp.$$ echo put $file >> /tmp/ftp.$$ echo quit >>/tmp/ftp.
Script 2 intercepts the print command and runs another printer interface script, in this case the printer “standard” using the same options ($@) to redirect the output to a temporary file. The script then opens an ftp session with the printer, sets binary mode and sends the temporary file to the printer.
4. When you see a screen similar to the one below, fill in the data as required. For example: Name of Queue Queuing discipline Activate the queue Destination Host Pathname short filter Pathname long filter Name of queue for remote printer EPSON first come first serve yes 200.
Setting up for HP-UX System There are two methods of printing from HP UX, ftp and rlp (lpr). Both are set up using SAM. Enter the IP address and Host name in the /etc/hosts file before starting SAM.
# This variable may be initialized when the script is installed in the spooler. PERIPH= if (“SPERIPH”=““) then PERIPH=SMODEL fi # Path for output of the original model TMPPATH=/tmp/SMODEL.
Chapter 6 Using OS/2 This chapter explains how to configure and use the Ethernet Card with an IBM OS/2 System. See Chapter 1 for information on hardware installation. i; Installing on an OS/2 System Before you set up the software, you must install the card in the printer, connect it to the network, and turn on the printer.
Installing Redirection Software Follow these steps to install the redirection software: 1. Place the EPSON Net! for OS/2 Installation disk in drive A (or B) of your server. 2. Open an OS/2 full screen command session. 3. Open the OS2 directory on drive A (or B) and select the NETBEUIREDIRECT directory.
The following are examples of commands that can be added to the STARTUP.CMD: RPRINT3 10900416/LPT1 RPRINT3 10900701/LPT2 RPRINT3 1090328F/LPT3 RPRINT3 10903605 Causes print files directed to LPT1 to be received by an interface with the serial number 10900416.
If several ports are redirected, RSTAT3 returns a message similar to the following: ITC Remote Print Servers active for LPT1-Printer Busy ITC Remote Print Servers active for LPT2-Printer Ready ITC Rem.
Software components You should now have the following list of files in the C:EPNET directory: ADDPORT.CMD Command to add ports on the server DELPORT.CMD Command to remove ports from the server PORTCHG.EXE Program used by the above commands REMPRT3.EXE Remote Print Service program REMBEU.
Note: Cl To set up and use the card through a shared OS/2 print queue(s) that will receive print jobs from other workstations, you must install and select either the IBMNULL or MSNULL printer driver. For the DEVICE to connect to, choose a port name from those added in step 3 above (for example, EPLASER).
8. To obtain printer driver status information on the REMPRT3 process, type REMSTAT3. The following are examples of information returned by this command: ITC Remote Print Servers active for PUBSPRT-Pr.
