Quick Setup Reference flowchart
: Refer to the Quick Setup Reference
flowchart for steps in configuring the NIC for network operation and then
configuring workstations to print to Kodak printers.
NIC Configuration Utilities
: Utilities for Windows, Macintosh, Unix and telnet
are provided for configuring the NIC. Otherwise, Utilities for Windows
(
FastManage Utilities
)
are recommended because they are the most robust
and user friendly utilities.
•
NIC Configuration Utilities for DOS/Windows:
Install the utilities
per instructions in the readme file. Use
FastManage Utilities
for
Windows platforms or NBMon for DOS.
•
NIC Configuration Utilities for Macintosh:
Laserwriter Utilities
and
sample default configuration files are provided for Macintosh
platforms.
•
NIC Configuration Utilities for Unix:
A Unix installation script is
provided for Unix platforms.
•
Telnet
(not provided) can be used for any platform that supports
TCP/IP.
Windows & Macintosh Printer Configuration Software
: Printer
configuration software is provided with your printer. It is not included with the
NIC when ordered as an option for your Kodak printer.
PostScript drivers are necessary for Kodak printers for printing when the
printer is in PostScript mode.
Export modules are necessary for Kodak printers for printing when the printer
is in Raster mode.
For Unix platforms, refer to Appendix E,
Technical Assistance
.
Printer/NIC documentation and software:
If you cannot locate the software
that came with your printer and NIC, the latest printer and NIC documentation
and software are available on the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com). You may
wish to copy components that are pertinent to your printer and NIC to a local
server for quick access by those who are responsible for setting up their
individual workstations.
Step 1:Determine your Network and Printing Environment. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)
NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell Netware, AppleTalk & Native Windows (NetBeui) Protocols.
Step 2: Gather Necessary Hardware & Software Components. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)
NIC, NIC Config S/W, Printer, Printer Config S/W, i.e.PostScript Drivers and Raster Export
Modules
NIC Pre-installed in Printer?
Step 3: Install the NIC in the Printer.
(Ch2:NIC Install) Requires NIC, Phillips or
T10 Torque Screwdriver, and Static Strap.
No
Yes
Step 4: Configure the NIC. (Ch3:FastManage, Ch9:Apple/Macintosh, Appendix: A
Telnet)
Recommendation: Use defaults until successful network printing is demonstrated.
Complete the following if using TCP/IP. (TCP/IP minimally requires an IP Address).
The quickest method (when IP = 0.0.0.0) is to use “arp” and “telnet” commands.
1) Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) and power cycle printer.
2) Use arp -s <IP Address> <NIC Ethernet Address>
3) Use telnet <IP Address> 2002.
5) Follow Telnet Ethernet>TCP/IP>Set IP menus to set IP address and then Reset the NIC.
6) Power cycle the printer.
Use Server
Print Queues?
Step 5:Configure Server (Ch4:Novell, Ch7/8
Windows NT, Ch10:Unix)
Yes
No
Step 6: Configure Workstations for PostScript and/or Raster Mode Printing. (Ch5-8
Windows, Ch9 Macintosh)
Install proper PostScript Driver (for printer in PostScript mode) and/or Kodak Export Module
plug-in (for printer in raster mode).
Step7:Printer in PostScript Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Print
from Applications and
Select the Kodak Printer.
Step7:Printer in Raster Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Export
from Adobe PhotoShop and Select
the Kodak Printer.
