The status page may be printed on demand by pressing the Status key on the front panel of the printer. Check the network status page to be sure that TCP/IP is enabled, and that an IP address has not already been assigned. Information from the status page will be needed during the ARP setup procedure.
Cover-Preface.book Page 1 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 6 Macintosh Configuration The network printer information presented in this chapter applies to the Macintosh Operating System. The Macintosh solution for Kyocera printers is supported by an installer on the CD ROM packaged with each Kyocera printer. The installer includes the LaserWriter 8 Driver for printing from a Macintosh.
Cover-Preface.book Page 2 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 6.2 Naming the Printer and Setting the Zone The 3000E has a default name of KYO_, e.g. KYO_163479. This may be changed to a more user friendly name using a standard web browser. Connecting with a browser requires TCP/IP to be setup on the printer and the Macintosh. If TCP/IP is not in use, the name may be changed using the KyoManage utility as described in Section 6.4. 1.
Cover-Preface.book Page 3 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 5. Some, but not all, of the printer options can be automatically detected by the driver. Select installed options as necessary and confirm that the list of installed options matches the printer configuration. Click on OK. This completes Macintosh printing configuration. 6.4 Using KyoManage If the Macintosh is using the TCP/IP protocol, it is possible to manage the EcoLAN 3000E from a standard web browser as explained in Chapter 3.

Cover-Preface.book Page 1 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 7 UNIX Configuration This chapter explains how to configure the EcoLAN 3000E and your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various UNIX environments. Setup and installation procedures are provided for most popular UNIX systems. The EcoLAN 3000E TCP/ IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/ supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port.
Cover-Preface.book Page 2 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM Note: The EcoLAN 3000E will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or the NIC HTML setup pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remember, the actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The Network Status Page indicates the actual port number.
Cover-Preface.book Page 3 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM • Use the arp and ping capability. For each of the methods covered in this section, you will need to provide the Ethernet address of the EcoLAN 3000E. The Ethernet address is the 12-character code that is listed as Hardware Address on the EcoLAN 3000E Network Status Page. You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its factory default state (no IP information entered.
Cover-Preface.book Page 4 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 6. Edit the /etc/BOOTPtab file and add the following information: nic_host:\ :ht = hardware type:\ :ha = ethernet address:\ :ip = IP address:\ :sm = subnet mask:\ :gw = gateway address: For example, for an RFC 1048 system: printfast:\ :ht = ether:\ :ha = 0040AF03AF6E:\ :ip = 192.9.200.200:\ :sm = 255.0.0.0:\ :gw = 192.9.200.
Cover-Preface.book Page 5 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 7.2.2 Using rarp The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. For this procedure, there needs to be a workstation with a rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server.
Cover-Preface.book Page 6 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser utility to change the IP address. See section 8.
Cover-Preface.book Page 7 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 7.3 Printer-based lpd Printing lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation. All filtering and banners are done by EcoLAN 3000E. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
Cover-Preface.book Page 8 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/ to the printer designated to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the EcoLAN 3000E designated as . 2.

Cover-Preface.book Page 3 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 8.2 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Important: EcoLAN 3000E IP address assignment with DHCP will not work if the 3000E has an existing IP address and IP persistence is Permanent. DHCP provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, host name, WINS server addresses, etc. to devices (hosts) on an IP network.
Cover-Preface.book Page 4 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 8.2.2 IP Address Persistence The 3000E defaults to an IP persistence of Permanent; that is, once an IP address is entered, it is retained when the printer is turned off and on. This is consistent with non-DHCP maintained IP addresses, however, for a DHCP environment with WINS the permanent IP persistence is generally not desired.
Cover-Preface.book Page 5 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 8.3 Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) WINS provides a mechanism for mapping NetBIOS (Windows) names to IP addresses. Implementation of WINS enables defining a printing configuration which references the printer by its name rather than by its IP address. Thus, even if the printer IP address is changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will still be valid and printing will continue uninterrupted.
Cover-Preface.book Page 6 Wednesday, May 12, 1999 10:48 PM 3. If the WINS Server addresses will not be supplied via DHCP, enter the address of the Primary NetBIOS Name Server and optionally the address of a Secondary NetBIOS Name Server. 4. If the printer NetBIOS name will not be supplied via DHCP, enter a NetBIOS Name for the 3000E or make no entry to use the default name of KYO_. 5. Type the password, sysadm, in the appropriate box and click Accept Settings.
