Also, the interface supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX (NetWare), EtherTalk and NetBEUI. This section details the network interface specification and several software utilities. You should set the emulation in the Printer Menu settings to Auto or PS before printing the self-diagnostic test and settings. Network Configuration 5...
Self-diagnostic test With the printer power switched on, press the push-button located on the network interface panel (at the rear of the printer) for more than three seconds and release. The self-diagnostic test results and configuration settings are printed. On the first page of the Network Information that is printed out, under the heading General Information the MAC Address is given.

AdminManager. Oki NDPS Gateway Oki provide a gateway for NDPS. Gateways allow NDPS clients to send jobs to printers that are not NDPS-aware (that is, printers that are not equipped with embedded NDPS Printer Agents). You select and configure a printer gateway when you create a new Printer Agent.
Page 72
During installation, all files are copied to the SYS:/SYSTEM and SYS:/PUBLIC/WIN32 directories on the NetWare server To set up the printer to work with the Oki NDPS Gateway, you should create a NDPS printer object as normal with the nwadmin32 utility. When you get to the [Create Printer Agent] screen, under [Gateway Types] there should now be an option for Oki NDPS Gateway.
Page 73
Select this and click [OK] to continue. You will then be presented with the Gateway Configuration Welcome screen, click [Next] again and select Printer Interface Type, either TCP/IP LPR or NetWare IPX and select [Next] to continue. (TCP/IP configuration illustrated.)

Operating system configuration This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX operating systems. Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and a C7300V2 printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information.
Page 81
The name of the printer queue c7300v2_lp The name of the device used to connect to the printer. Does not need to be specified for a remote machine. The name of the host of the remote printer. This should be the same as the name added to the /etc/ hosts file.
Page 82
The procedure below must be used for registering a remote printer. If Solaris 2.x is connected to the remote printer for a long period according to the system specifications, errors and forced disconnection may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and other errors result in waiting time, printing may have to be aborted.
Page 83
Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager. Register the network card as a remote printer server. Example: for host name c7300v2 a. Stop the print scheduler.
Page 84
The absolute path and method of configuring commands may differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more details. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set. See network interface card IP address configuration for more information.

AIX 4.1.5 configuration The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and a C7300V2 printer as examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of configuring may differ with the OS version. Refer to the workstation’s manual. If an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage may occur.

FTP printing FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring a file with TCP/IP. If the print data is sent to a logical printer via FTP, it is printed. Refer to the workstation’s manual for details of the ftp command. The following explanation uses print file test.prn with printer name...
Page 90
There are two types of transfer mode: BINARY mode, in which the file content is output as it is and ASCII mode, which converts the LF code to the CR+LF code. If a binary file converted by the printer driver is transferred, the transfer mode has to be BINARY mode.
Page 91
Three states can be verified using the quote command stat: the IP address, login user name and transfer mode. In addition, printer status can be verified by specifying the directory after the stat (lp, sjis, euc). Example: displaying network card status ftp>...
The printer’s configuration page reports information that is required for Macintosh configuration. To print a configuration page, while the printer is switched on, depress the NIC’s push-button for three seconds and then release. The first six characters of the Ethernet address are the same for all OkiLAN 8100e type network cards.
Setup Utilities for Mac OS 8.x and 9.x Use the Oki Network Card Setup Utility (Macintosh) to assign an IP address and configure the network interface card. For instructions please refer to the Configuration Utility section and on-line help. Configuration There are three items that need to be configured for EtherTalk.
The OkiLAN 8100e NIC is also supported in the Macintosh OS X environment. Run the installer on the driver CD to install the printer’s PPD file. In OS X you need to make sure that AppleTalk is turned on in order to connect to an AppleTalk printer.
Page 96
In Mac OS X use the Print Centre to select network printers, not the Chooser. Before you can use a printer it must appear in the printer list in Print Centre. Click on [Add Printer], make sure that the connection method is LPR and assign its IP address.
Self-diagnostic test Printer does not print. Ensure the printer emulation is set to PS or Automatic. NG is printed in the Self-diagnostic test. Flash ROM Check registers NG. Confirm that the network interface card (NIC) is installed correctly and turn the printer off and on again.
Check there is a response to the PING command. Check that the network cable is correctly connected and that the green LED close to the printer’s network interface is lit. If not, change the cable and try again. Run the Self-diagnostic test.
Confirm the network interface is enabled on the printer. Check that the network cable is correctly connected and that the green LED close to the printer’s network interface is lit. If not, change the cable and try again. If the standard configuration utility is used, check the NetWare network number in the environment settings.
Check the File Server name set in the NIC and on the File Server are the same. Check the Printer name set in the File Server and the NetWare Port name set in the NIC are the same. If there are multiple NICs, configure the NetWare Port names to be different.
Turn the printer off and on again. Check the network cable is correctly connected. Change the cable and try again. If the network resides in a Zone, check the correct Zone name is selected in the Chooser. Check the Zone name in the utility related to the NIC is the same as the Zone name set in NIC.
