A741 46 Print Server Manual
12.7 My, remote network PC with CAD software loaded cannot print to
the A741. Why?
Even if you have network connection to the shared printer on the A741 Print
Server, the Ricoh Controller software must be installed on the remote client.
Without the Ricoh Controller software, the remote client will not be able to send
print jobs to the A741 Print Server.
Jobs printed to the A741 Print Server from remote clients must be printed
through the Ricoh Controller software loaded on the remote clients.
12.8 How are licenses configured for the A741 Print Server?
When specifying licensees, enter the Computer Name as specified in the Control
Panel's, Network's, Identification tab. The A741 Print Server must be configured
in the same domain or workgroup as the remote clients or the licensing will not
function correctly.
12.9 What protocols are compatible with the A741 Print Server?
The native protocol for the A741 Print Server is TCP/IP. However, other protocols
may be implemented. It is important to remember that the remote clients must
support the same protocol as the A741 print server otherwise communication,
between the devices, will not be possible. Some of the protocols supported
include TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, and NetBEUI.
12.10 What Media Access Methods are compatible with the A741 Print
Server?
The Media Access Methods supported by the A741 Print Server include Ethernet
and Token Ring. The type of method used depends on the network interface
hardware located in the A741 Print Server and the remote clients PC's.
12.11 Are there any password recommendations to be made for the A741
Print Server and Remote Client PC's?
It is recommended that for each remote client, an account be configured on the
A741 Print Server that uses the same user name and password that the remote
client uses to log into the already established network (i.e. Novell NetWare or
Microsoft NT or Microsoft Peer-To-Peer NetBEUI network). Creating such
accounts allow the remote client to connect to the shared printer on the A741
Print Server without having to enter a separate username or password.
