About This Addendum
This addendum provides additional and corrected information for the DEClaser 5000
Series Ethernet Card User's Guide (Part Number: EK-DL51C-UG. A01).
Digital recommends that you keep this addendum together with the documentation
that comes with your DEClaser 5100 printer and its options.
This addendum provides information on the following:
• Corrections and additional information for the Ethernet Card User’s Guide
• Documentation for new features of the NIC firmware Version 3.05:
− Using the lpd and bootp utilities in TCP/IP environments
− Resetting both the printer and the NIC to their factory defaults from the
Control Panel
− Disabling/enabling the printer’s and NIC’s status pages
− Setting up the NIC for use in LAT-only environments
The instructions in this document assume that you have installed the upgrade to the printer
and to the NIC, as described in the DEClaser 5100 Printer Ethernet Card Upgrade
Installation Guide, and are now running Version 2.53 of the printer firmware and Version
3.05 of the NIC firmware. Use the utilities for Version 3.05 of the NIC; older versions do
not support new features.
This addendum uses the same terms as the DEClaser 5000 Series Ethernet Card User's
Guide with the following exceptions:
• The phrases “Ethernet card”, “Network Interface Card”, and “NIC” all refer to the
same item, the network interface controller that you insert into the printer.
• The page printed each time the printer is turned on (unless this has been disabled) is
called the Start-Up page. This page shows the name of the printer and the Digital
logo. The Ethernet Card User’s Guide called this page the Power-On Report.
• The page printed each time a printer with a NIC installed is turned on (unless this has
been disabled) is called the NIC Status page. The page shows the names of protocols.
The Ethernet Card User’s Guide called this the Status/Configuration Report.
