You have to use a PostScript printer you can select the LaserWriter 8 icon. 4.
SNMP Setup TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote network management and monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of database objects. The database objects are contained in a standard database called Management Information Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent.

14. Choose the model of printer and click Forward. 15. Done.
8. Upgrading Print Server Overview Upgrading print server will allow you to upgrade its firmware inside the print server while the newer software version of the print server is available from your local dealer. Depending on the different systems users might use, this chapter is divided into several Sections; please refer to the following lists for your systems. 1. Upgrading the print server from PSAdmin 2. Upgrading the print server from Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 3.
Upgrading the print server from UNIX (Through TCP/IP) 1. Log in as root 2. Ensure binary file is located in your current working directory. 3. Type “tftp ”. 4. At tftp prompt, type “get upgrade”. 5. Change to binary mode. 6. At tftp prompt, type “put mpsXX.bin”. 7. Wait for the file transfer to complete. 8. Quit from tftp. 9. Done. Upgrading the print server from Browser 1. Ensure binary file is located in your current working directory. 2.
9. Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting Overview The most common problems, which cause the print server to perform improperly, are covered in this chapter. If a problem still exists after reading this chapter, please contact your dealer for technical support. LED Light Indicators The print server is equipped with LED lights to assist in diagnosing problems that are the result of the network and/or the print server hardware itself.
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 Troubleshooting Multi-Segment LAN Environment Installation (through the Network Print Port) If your print server and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 are located on two different segments, and your Windows NT server is used as the router/gateway you will need to implement the following procedures in order for your print server to function properly: Add the RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport.
Moving the print server to A New Segment If the print server is moved from one network segment to another after the initial installation, through the Network Print Port, the print server must be reconfigured on the original Windows NT server or on each Windows 95/98 computer using this print server in order for the print server’s driver on each computer to re-establish a new connection. Print Server Reconfiguration Procedure on Windows 95/98/Me 1. Click Start on the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
Moving Your Computer to A New Segment If you are using the print server through the Network Print Port on your NT or Windows 95/98/Me computer and your computer is going to be moved onto another segment, you have to reconfigure the print server on your computer to use your print server. However, this situation is like moving the print server to a new segment. Please refer to the “Moving the print server to a new segment” section for more detailed reconfiguration instructions.
B. The print server's IP address is duplicated or is as same as another computer's IP address on the network. If this is the case, please consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address for your print server. C. The print server is on one segment and your Windows NT server is on the other segment.
6. In your editor, modify "BoxIPAddress" field from "0.0.0.0" to "192.72.214.100". Leave other options as default and do not change their values. When done, save this new file and quit from your editor. Please note, in this step you must specify an IP address which is valid on Segment B, such as 192.72.214.100 in this example, rather than 192.72.214.68. 7. Type, for example, "tftp 192.72.214.68 put config.txt" to save this new configuration back to print server. 8.
Appendix SMB Printing with Windows XP 1. Enable the SMB settings from the print server’s WEB configuration. Assume your computers use the “WORKGROUP” as the SMB workgroup name in Windows. Please assign the same SMB name to your print server. If print server uses the different SMB name from computers’, the SMB printing won’t active.
2. Now you can find the print server from the SMB workgroup of Windows. Then, double click it. 3. Double click it again.
4. Now you have to install the printer’s driver. 5. Choose it from the “Add Printer Wizard”.
6. Install printer successfully. 7. Now, you can find your printer’s icon and you can use the SMB printing mode.
Reset Button Reboot the Print server: 1. Verify the power of print server is turned on. 2. Press the reset button once, and then release it. WARNING: This will restart the print server and stop all on-going and pending print jobs! Perform a Factory Default: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Disconnect the external power adapter. Hold down the reset button. Reconnect the external reset button. Wait about 5~6 seconds. Release the reset button. The print server will restart.
Frequently Asked Questions Question A Print jobs are sent to the print queue successfully, but fail to be sent to the printer. Possible explanations 1. The Print server Name/Print Queue configuration in PCONSOLE is incorrect. 2. The Print server name specified and stored in the print server memory doesn’t match the same one set in PCONSOLE. 3. The network cable or power adapter connected to the print server is loose or disconnected. 4. The printer is off-line, jammed or out of paper. Solutions 1. 2. 3. 4.
Question D The Status LED light keeps blinking after POST. Possible explanation and solution The last upgrade process was not completed. The print server must be upgraded again by using the PSAdmin. Please see Chapter 3 for details. Question E The PSAdmin reports “Create Print server Error”, “Create Printer Error”, or “Create Print Queue Error” while using Auto Setup.
Additional Installation Instructions Panasonic KX-P6100/6300/6500 If you are using a Panasonic KX-P6100/6300/6500 laser printer with the print server through the Network Print Port under Windows 95/98, please redirect the printer named “Panasonic KX-P6100 PCL” or “Panasonic KX-P6300 PCL”, or “Panasonic KX-P6500 PCL” to the print server through the Network Print Port.
