Fig. 1 Quick Setup Printer Selection NetWare Printing There are a number of printing options in NetWare. The following gives an explanation of the various printing methods for each NetWare version and describes how to set up printing for each method. NetWare 3.x NetWare 3.x supports only Bindery based printing. Two modes are supported; 1) Print Server mode and 2) Remote Printer mode. Print Server mode (recommended): The IB-2x acts as the Print Server and polls the print queue looking for jobs to service.
NetWare 4.x and 5.x NetWare 4.x and 5.x support NetWare Directory Services (NDS) printing. For backwards compatibility, Bindery based printing is also supported. Print Server mode and Remote Printer mode (see descriptions in the previous section) are supported for NDS, however, only Print Server mode is supported for Bindery printing. NetWare 4.x and 5.x NDS or Bindery 1. Run the Quick Setup wizard on the IB-2x CD-ROM. 2. In the NetWare section choose NDS Setup (recommended) or Bindery Setup.
Which Print Method to Use? The optimum Windows printing configuration depends upon your particular environment including user and administrator experience and preferences. Generally, NetWare Print Services will be utilized when a NetWare server is present. In the absence of a NetWare server, LPR printing in combination with printer sharing is often utilized when TCP/IP is already in use. NetBEUI Peer to Peer printing is most often utilized when a centralized NetWare or Windows Print Server is not used.
Windows NT 4.0 LPR TCP/IP Required Components The following steps describe how to check for and, if necessary, add the Windows TCP/IP components which are necessary for LPR Printing. 1. Check under Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network, Protocols. If TCP/IP Protocol is not in the list of Network Protocols, click on Add to install it. 2. Select the Services tab. If either Microsoft TCP/IP Printing or Simple TCP/IP Services is not in the list of Network Services, click on Add to install them. 3.
File and Printer Sharing service is installed. Check under Start, Settings, Network and Dial-up Connections, Local Area Connection, Properties.) 8. Follow the prompts to complete the Add Printer wizard. 9. If you have selected the printer for sharing and would like other Windows versions to automatically receive the correct printer driver when connecting to the printer share, then use the following procedure: 9.1.
5. Printer sharing is not commonly used with NetBEUI printing, however, some admins may want to utilize sharing on NT 4.0 or 2000 to take advantage of their automatic driver download capability. For steps on setting up printer sharing, see the Windows NT 4.0 LPR or Windows 2000 Standard TCP/IP Printing instructions. Windows Printer Sharing Windows printer sharing involves a Windows machine functioning as a “host”.
Macintosh Configuration KPDL, Kyocera’s PostScript compatible mode is required for Macintosh printing. KPDL is standard on many Kyocera printers, however, it is optional on the following models: FS-600, FS-680, FS-1000, FS-7000 and all LS (Japanese) models. If KPDL is installed, it will appear in the Emulation list in the following procedure and on the printer Status Page.
IP Address Configuration There are many ways to configure the IB-2x IP address parameters. The easiest and most common methods are: via the Quick Setup wizard, via DHCP,and via the printer’s front panel. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is often used in conjunction with DHCP and is therefore also covered in this section. The Quick Setup wizard allows easy setup of the IP address and many other parameters. See Using the Quick Setup Wizard earlier in this guide.
WINS Registration and Naming The IB-2x must be given the address of the primary WINS server where it will register its host name. It may optionally be given the address of a secondary WINS server. The DHCP server is often setup to provide the IB-2x with its host name and the WINS server addresses. Refer to your DHCP server documentation for the proper setup procedures. Alternatively, the host name and WINS server addresses may be configured using a web browser or the IB-2x AdminManager utility.
Front Panel Setup Firmware Requirements Following are the printer firmware levels required for front panel setup capability. The firmware level of the printer is listed as Software version on the printer status page. FS/LS-800 version 38.01 or later FS/LS-1700+ version 40.00 or later FS/LS-7000 version 25.07 or later FS/LS-3700+ version 32.02 or later FS/LS-1000, 1200, 1750, 3750, 5800C, 5900C, 6300, 6700, 6900, 7000+, and 9000 all versions.
Fig. 2 IB-2x Home Page Quick Setup Wizard The Windows-based Quick Setup wizard is designed for fast and easy initial configuration. It does not include all possible IB-2x settings, however, for changing the basic settings, it is also convenient for followup configuration. For more information, see Using the Quick Setup Wizard earlier in this guide. AdminManager The Windows-based AdminManager utility may be used in either an IP or IPX environment to fully configure any of the IB-2x settings.
