Network Interface Card/Printer Installation Overview
Section 1: Determine the network protocol(s) to be used for
communicating to the Network Interface Card, printer, workstation
platform(s) that will be used for creating and sending jobs to the
printer, and any servers that will be used to spool and manage
jobs sent to corresponding printer queues.
You should use AppleTalk for Macintosh systems.
Section 2: Install the hardware in the Kodak printer.
Section 3: Install the software.
Note: There is no software installation necessary for using
the Network Interface Card with AppleTalk. However,
there may be some utilities provided with the printer
for changing the AppleTalk Name and the AppleTalk
Zone. Refer to “Network Printer Parameters” for more
information.
Section 4: Configure network printer parameters, if necessary.
Some parameters are programmable from the printer’s front
display/control panel and others by downloading PostScript
command files.
Note: We recommend that you use the default parameters
until the printer is functional on your network.
Section 5: Determine the printer modes of operation (PostScript
and/ or Raster) to be used based on the model of printer
purchased. Install the corresponding PostScript and/or Raster
mode software. Use the installation programs provided with the
PostScript driver and export module diskettes.
Refer to the README files included with specific Kodak printers
for installation instructions for the driver and the export module. It
may be necessary to move PPD and/or PDF files to appropriate
application folders.
