Network Printer Manager
The Xpress T9412i/T9412n Network Printer Manager (NPM)
is a tool for remotely managing the printer, its NIC, and to
some extent, the network operating system.
note:
Please be advised that the NPM utility used to
manage printers on a network does not support
upgrading the flash firmware across different networks. In
order to circumvent this limitation, you need to install the
NPM utility on a PC located on the same network as the
printer you are interested in upgrading.
Xpress T9412i/T9412n Web Pages
The Xpress T9412i/T9412n settings can also be configured
with the aid of a web browser such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator. The printer web pages allow the LAN
administrator to configure most printer settings. For greater
network configuration capability, use the NPM utility.
NIC Flash Memory
The printer configuration settings are stored in a FLASH
ROM IC located on the NIC. In order to upgrade the NIC
firmware, the NPM utility must be installed in a PC running
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

ETWORK NTERFACE AND
There are two characteristics that define an interface to your
network—the physical and the electrical.
Physically, the interface to your network must be an RJ-45
socket. Electrically, the interface must be Ethernet 10Base-TX
or 100Base-TX.
A network cable is used to interconnect the printer with the
network interface. The cable must be a Category 5 cable with
RJ-45 plugs fastened to both ends. If connecting to a 100
Megabit Ethernet network, use a shielded Category 5 cable.
RJ-45 Plug
The RJ-45 plug is fastened to both ends
of a Category 5 network cable. Use this
type of cable to interconnect the printer
with the network interface.
