Checking your Network Protocols (Windows)
Your PC must have EITHER the TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols installed.
• If using the Peer-to-peer Print Driver, the installation program will check this for you.
• If using Windows SMB Printing, you must check manually, as follows:
1. Select the Settings - Control Panel - Network option on the Start Menu. You should see a
screen like the one following:
Figure 4: 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. If neither line is present:
• Install the NetBEUI protocol by selecting Add - Protocol - Microsoft - NetBEUI - OK.
You may be prompted for your Windows CD-ROM.
• If required, you can also install TCP/IP. However, depending on your LAN
environment, TCP/IP may require further configuration.
3. If either protocol is already installed, proceed with installation.
Windows Peer-to-peer Print Driver
With this printing method, print jobs are stored (queued) on your PC, and then sent to the Print
Server when it is available.
Setup
Before performing the following procedure, the Print Server must be installed on your LAN,
and configured as described in Chapter 3. Both the Print Server and the attached printer should
be powered ON.
1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start
automatically, run SETUP in the root folder.
2. Select the Installation icon, then choose the User option in the "Setup Type" screen. This
will install the Peer-to-peer Print Driver.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. (Refer to the Windows section of Chapter
8 - Troubleshooting if there is a problem with the installation.)
4. The Print Driver Setup will then run.
