lntroduction The C82346* EPSON® Type B Ethernet Interface Card is a combination of hardware and software that lets you connect an EPSON printer equipped with an optional Type B interface slot directly to your network. Just install the Ethernet Card into your printer’s optional interface slot (see your printer guide or contact your EPSON dealer for applicable models), and connect it anywhere on your network.
0 Provides the same functions as NetWare’s PSERVER program in print server mode and RPRINTER in remote printer mode. AppleTalk 0 Supports EtherTalk Phase I and Phase II communication. 0 Provides easy installation with EPSON Zoner and EPSON Namer utilities. Requires only the EPSON Zoner utility to set up in EtherTalk Phase II. 0 Works with optionally equipped EpsonScript (PostScript TM) printers. Windows NT 0 Supports Windows NT 3.5x. Cl Compatible with Hewlett Packard® network printers.
Ethernet Card Hardware The Ethernet Card is an interface card that plugs into an EPSON printer’s optional Type B interface slot. It has connectors for either an Ethernet Thin Coaxial (10BASE2) or an Ethernet Twisted-Pair (10BASE-T) network connection.
EPSON Printers Supported by the Ethernet Card The EPSON Ethernet Card can be installed in a variety of EPSON laser and dot-matrix printers. Check your printer documentation for a list of optional interfaces that can be installed in your printer, or check with your local EPSON dealer. If you are using an optional LocalTalk interface, see your interface manual for information on compatibility.
Windows NT: see Chapter 4 for information on using a Windows NT environment with DLC Transport protocol or TCP/IP. cl UNIX: see Chapter 5 for details about using several variations of UNIX. This chapter includes information about using UNIX with TCP/IP. 0 OS/2: see Chapter 6 for details on using an OS/2 system and installing extra software. Note: 0 The default Net Ware condition of the Ethernet card is disabled. You must configure the card with EPSON Net! for NetWare to work on a Net Ware network.
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. A status sheet prints each time the Status Sheet button of the Ethernet Card is pushed. If the Card is installed as a print server, the status sheet lists the configurations of the Ethernet Card on each network.
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. Hardware Installation You must install the interface card in the printer, connect it to the network, and turn on the printer before you can set up the software.
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. Note: After installing the Ethernet Card, do not connect a cable to the printer’s parallel port until after the card is booted and operating (green status light on, red off). Otherwise, it may not boot properly.
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. The Ethernet Card is an intelligent interface that can detect which kind of cable is attached; you do not need to make any hardware or software settings to specify the cable type. However, you must not attach more than one cable at a time.
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. The Ethernet Card has two LEDs (red and green) that together indicate the current operating status of the Ethernet Card.
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. While the card is recognizing the network, the red and green status lights flash alternately on and off. After recognizing the network, the Ethernet Card is ready to send and receive data. In this mode, only the green status light is lit.
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. Report printing is available after the printer is turned on and has completed its initialization routine.
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. Ethernet Card Configuration Software The Ethernet Card comes with EPSON Net! for NetWare, EPSON’s proprietary network printer management utility program.
lnstalling the utility software Follow these steps to install the EPSON Net! utility software. For Windows: 1. Make sure Windows is running and the Main window is open. 2. Insert the EPSON Net! for NetWare disk in drive A (or B). 3. Choose Run from the File menu. 4. Type a:windows/install (or b:windows/install) and click OK. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen. 6. After installation is completed, EPSON Net!(NW) appears in the EPSON Net! group.
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. When the corresponding printer is ready, the print server sends the print job to the printer.
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. However, as with all Novell remote printers, the card’s print speed is slower in Remote Printer mode than in Print Server mode.
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. The Ethernet Card can service up to 32 queues and eight file servers in print server mode. See page 2-8 for information about assigning print queues on multiple file servers.
2-6 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.

Select the file server you want to attach to the printer and then select a print queue from the Queue list box, or create a new queue by typing a name in the box. Next, click OK. 5.
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. Renaming the print server Always use EPSON Net! to rename the printer on the master file server. Never use PCONSOLE to perform this operation. 1.
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. The following dialog box appears: 2. Type in the same password that you used to log on to the file server and click OK.
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 Remote Printer Mode Before using an Ethernet Card as a remote printer, you must define it using PCONSOLE on any Novell print server.
4. From the Print Server Information list, select Print Server Configuration and press Enter. 5. Select Printer Configuration from the menu and then press Enter. 6. From the Configured Printers list, highlight a port number and press Enter. 7. From the Printer Configuration screen, enter the printer name. Next, highlight the Printer Type and select LPT1. 8. Press ESC; then press Enter to save changes. 9.
4. Make sure the Operating Mode is set to Remote Printer. 5. Click on the printer you want to configure from the Print Server name drop-down list or type in a new name for the printer. 6. Click Save to save your changes. See the next sections to change the port number and enable or disable Hunting.
Changing the port number Use the EPSON Net! utility to change the parallel port number for the remote printer as follows: 1. In the NetWare config dialog, enter the number for any available port in the Port No. box. The available settings for Novell NetWare versions 3.x and below are from 0 to 15. For NetWare 4.x and higher, the available settings are from 0 to 254. 2. Click Save to save the port setting.
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. For information on changing the various print server and remote printer settings, see the appropriate sections earlier in this chapter. To select the Auto Print Server/Remote Printer mode, follow these steps: 2-16 1.
Chapter 3 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. Before using the Ethernet Card interface on an EtherTalk network, make sure of the following: 0 the Ethernet Card is installed in the printer 0 the printer contains PostScript, which means that the optional EpsonScript card or module must be installed.
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). With this program, you can rename printers located in different zones on the network, including the local zone.
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: AppleTalk Zones: New Name: 11 hc TP SWR ether hd TP System hd TP Sustem 2 4. Select the name of your printer’s installed driver from the Device Types list. For example, AT-LP1500ART.
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: rppleTalk Zones Epson Namer I Select Printer: INew Name: Allison’s printer Note: Do not use a name that is already assigned to an existing printer. 8. Click Rename. After a few moments, the new name will appear in the Select Printer list.
Note: cl 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). Rename the printer and then repeat the process, if necessary, for other printers on the network. cl Clicking Reset returns the printer to its default name.
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. EPSON Zoner automatically displays the AppleTalk PS option if your printer does not have an automatic switching feature.
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. 7. To use a non-AppleTalk PS printer (all EPSON printers), set the AppleTalk PS option to Inactive. For AppleTalk PS printers, make sure the AppleTalk PS option is set to Active. 8.
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. lnstalling on Windows NT with DLC Support Requirements Before you can install the Ethernet Card in the Windows NT environment, make sure that Windows NT is installed with DLC protocol.
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. Select Print Manager from the Main group. 2. Choose Create Printer from the printer menu at the top of the screen. The Create Printer dialog box appears. 3. Enter a name for the printer in the Printer Name field. 4.
8. 9. Select LAN Hardware Address (Node Address) from the Card Address list. This address matches the one listed under Node Number on the status sheet. Click the Timer button and select the Job Oriented option. click OK. Then 10. Click OK to exit the Add a Network Peripheral Port dialog box. Note: You may share the new printer if you wish. To do so, click the Share the Printer on the Network box. The share name defaults to the printer name and can be changed if necessary. 11.
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. 4-4 1. Click the Network icon in Control Panel. 2. After the Network Configuration dialog box appears, look for Microsoft TCP/IP Print in the Installed Software list box.
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. 1. After installing the Ethernet Card in the printer as described in your printer’s user’s guide, connect it to the computer and turn on the printer. 2.
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. 5. Set the following options in the IP Config dialog box: 0 IP address: determine and assign an IP address Cl Subnet mask: assign the subnet mask Cl Auto IP address: set to Off Note: Cl The Auto IP address option is a function designed specifically for UNIX users.
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. Click Print Manager in the Main program group. 2. Choose the Create Printer command from the Printer menu. 3. After the Create Printer dialog box appears, enter the name of your printer in the Printer Name text box. 4. Choose your printer driver from the Driver pull-down menu. 5.
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. See page 5-9 for more information about various UNIX systems.
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. In this case, the interface card should be given an address that has the same first three sets of numbers as the other devices on that network section, and be given a unique last (4th set) number different from that of any other device on that network section. The network supervisor should be able to determine what addresses are in use at the site.
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 132.147.69.4 If the card responds, you are ready to print. If it doesn’t respond, print a status sheet and check the IP address, also check the information contained in the /etc/host file.
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 The name of the local printer which will now be redirected to the Ethernet Card. The default printer name is often used here (for example, 'lP'). 0 The name of the remote printer.
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. The interface card can handle many separate communication channels simultaneously.
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. Instead of lpr, which may strip control characters, (use - 1 to avoid this), ftp may be used to print. Enter ftp, then open the Ethernet Card by entering its host name (for example, “open Allison”).
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.” For example, to send a text file called “txtfile” to the Ethernet Card in ASCII mode and append a formfeed, use the following ftp commands: ascii send txtfile feed lpr filters Filters for lpr are controlled by the name given to the remote printer.
The remote printer name options used to invoke the different filters are as follows: 1Pb 1Pa 1pbf 1paf Binary files (no filters) ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends) Binary file with form feed at file end ASCII file with form feed at file end All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as lpb. Note: Some versions of lpr strip out all control characters and carriage return characters from a file before it is sent, making it unsuitable for bit-image files or font download files.
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. The two scripts have been tested for SCO UNIX, but may require modification for other systems. You can use either script.
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.$$ /usr/bin/ftp -n SNETPRINTER c /tmp/ftp.$$ /bin/rm/tmp/ftp.$$ done i=‘expr $i+1’ done exit 0” *end of script*" Script 2 The following script should have the same name as the host name you gave the printer. TEMPFILE=/tmp/ftpprint.
Script 2 intercepts the print command and runs another printer interface script, in this case the printer “standard” using the same options ($@) 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. The temporary file is then removed. Note: The name of the model and interface directories used by your UNIX system may differ from SCO.
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 5. EPSON first come first serve yes 200.200.200.99 C82331_PRT Check the entry for your queue under Remote Printer Queue devices. It will list the queue name and printer capabilities.
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. 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. Requirements OS/2 Warp and Warp Connect must be installed with NetBEUI protocol and OS/2 Warp Connect must be installed with NetBIOS over TCP/IP protocol.
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 NETBEUI\REDIRECT directory. For example, type CD NETBEUI, press the Enter key, and then type CD REDIRECT to select the redirection software directory. 4. Copy the driver software files RPRINT3.EXE and RSTAT3.
The following are examples of commands that can be added to the STARTUP.CMD: 6. RPRINT3 10900416/LPT1 Causes print files directed to LPT1 to be received by an interface with the serial number 10900416. RPRINT3 10900701/LPT2 Causes print files directed to LPT2 to be received by an interface with the serial number 10900701. RPRINT3 1090328F/LPT3 Causes print files directed to LPT3 to be received by an interface with the serial number 1090328F.
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 Remote Print Servers active for LPT3-Printer Ready Printing through Pipes This section describes how to install the software necessary for printing through named pipes. Installing the software 1. Place the EPSON Net! for OS/2 Installation disk in drive A (or B) of your server. 2.
Software components You should now have the following list of files in the C:\EPNET directory: ADDPORT.CMD DELPORT.CMD PORTCHG.EXE REMPRT3.EXE REMBEU.EXE REMSTAT3.EXE Command to add ports on the server Command to remove ports from the server Program used by the above commands Remote Print Service program Remote Print Service driver Printer status program Configuring New Printers This section explains how to configure new printers on a LAN Server for use with remote print service.
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). Cl To connect the card directly to a workstation(s), you must install the proprietary OS/2 printer driver. 5. In the EPNET remote print service directory, create an initialization file called REMPRT.INI.
8. To obtain printer driver status information on the REMPRT3 process, type REMSTAT3.
