Chapter 1 - Introduction Introduction The OkiLAN 3100e Network Card enables Okipage 14i Printers to be used in an Ethernet network environment. With this network card installed, the Okipage 14i Printers can be connected to a network, enabling all network users to the share the use of these printers.
• Remote Printer Mode and Queue Server Mode when the NetWare 5 (on IPX Protocol) NDS is connected. • Network card setup by Telnet and printer status display. • Receiving of print data by FTP and displaying print jobs. Note: Multiple file simultaneous transmission by general FTP utility is not supported.
Printer installation CAUTION: The network card can be affected by static electricity. Do not remove it from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Turn the printer off and disconnect the power supply cable from the printer.
