We will suggest you install utility “Bi-Admin” to configure your PrintServer in Windows. It can provide an advance and complete configuration for your printserver.
WPConfig This program requires Windows 3.1, and the IPX/SPX protocol. This program is on the CD-ROM, in the Utilities\WPConfig folder. Instructions for using the program are in a sub-folder of the Manual folder on the CD-ROM. PSConfig Menu-based DOS program, intended only to configure the Print Server for use with NetWare V2, 3 and 4. This program is on the CD-ROM, in the Utilities\DOS folder. Instructions for using the program are in a sub-folder of the Manual folder on the CD-ROM.
4 Chapter 4 Client PC Configuration The chapter details the client configuration required on LAN clients to use the printer or printers attached to the Print Server. Overview Before performing client configuration, the following conditions must be met: • Print Server must be installed on your network. • Print Server must be configured (refer to Chapter 3). • Both the Print Server and the attached printer must be powered ON.
Printing Methods The Print Server supports a number of printing methods: • Peer-to-Peer Print Driver is installed by running setup.exe in the CD-ROM Driver/PTP20 folder. The print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and sent to the Print Server when it is available. • Server-based Print Queue means that all print jobs are stored (queued) on the Network Server (e.g. NetWare, Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003) and then sent to the Print Server. This allows the Network Administrator to modify the Print Queue.
Figure 1: Network Configuration • The top line in the list (NetBEUI -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that the NetBEUI protocol is installed on this PC. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter". • The highlighted line (TCP/IP -> PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) indicates that TCP/IP is installed. Your PC will show the name of the your Network card rather than "PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter". 2.

Internet Mail Printing The Internet Mail Printing System allows users to print data to your printer across the Internet. Users send the Internet Print Server an E-Mail, with the print job normally sent as an attachment to the E-Mail. The Print Server will retrieve the E-Mail and print it. System Requirements Mail Server • Accessibility. The Mail Server must be accessible by the intended clients or users. Normally, this means a permanent connection to the Internet. • Protocols.
Internet Mail Printing Configuration The Print Server must be configured with the data in the following table. The supplied Bi-Admin utility program, or the Web-base interface can be used to set the following entries on the TCP/IP screen. Mail Server IP Address The IP Address of the E-Mail Server used by the Print Server. Mail Account The name of the E-Mail Account used by the Print Server. Mail Account Password Enter the password for the above Mail Account here.
User Software The software provided for remote users (InterNet Printing Port) should be installed by everyone intending to use Internet printing. Otherwise, remote users can print correctly only if: • They send E-Mail directly to the Print Server Mail Account, using their normal EMail application. • The E-Mail contains plain text only. • The Internet Print Server is configured with Print every E-Mail ON. Installation of the InterNet Printing Port software will create a new printer port.
Remote Printer E-mail Address The E-Mail address for the Internet printer. Your print jobs will be sent to this E-Mail address. Mail Server Name or IP Address This is the name or IP Address of your Mail Server. If you are on a LAN, ask the LAN Administrator. If using a dial-up connection, use the data provided by your ISP. Your Internet E-mail Address The normal address that people use to send you E-mail.
Checking the Printer Driver To make sure that the correct printer driver for the remote printer is installed on your system, you can use the InterNet Printing Port to send an E-Mail to the Internet Printer. The procedure is as follows: 1. Connect your default printer to the InterNet Printing Port. 2. Check that "Reply Notification Mail" in the InterNet Printing Port is ON. 3. From Notepad or another text editor, print a short message (e.g. "This is a test print") to the Internet Printer.
