1. Install the IP peer-to-peer printing software referring to the "Print Server Card Quick Configuration Guide" supplied
with the Print Server Card.
2. Change the name of the 'port to print to' to an IP address. To change it, start P2P-IP from the 'Start' menu to open
the setting screen of the IP peer-to-peer printing software and change 'Printer Names' to 'based on IP Address'.
The computer must be restarted after the change above is made.
3. Install the printer driver to be monitored referring to "Installing printer drivers from the CD-ROM" on page 4. At this
time, set the port added with the IP peer-to-peer printing software (P2P-IP) as 'Print to the following port'. If the
driver has been already installed, change the 'Print to the following port' setting in the 'Details' tab to the port that
has been added with the IP peer-to-peer printing software (P2P-IP).
Setting is complete. Start the Printer Status Monitor and check that the printer can be monitored.
The Printer Status Monitor, however, can be used without the above P2P-IP installed in the following case.
N
On the Windows NT 4.0 system, the printer can be monitored even if 'TCP/IP Printing' mounted to Windows NT
4.0 is used.
B. If printing is performed through a server:
If the IP peer-to-peer printing software described above is not used, for example, printing is performed through a print
queue of a Windows NT server or NetWare server, the printer status cannot be monitored only by starting the Printer
Status Monitor. In this case, use the following procedure to monitor the printer.
Find the text file "Printers.txt" in the folder in which the Printer Status Monitor has been installed (C:\Program
Files\Sharp\Printer Status Monitor in the default setting). Use a text editor such as Notepad to enter the name of the
printer to be monitored and its IP address. The name and IP address must be entered in one line per printer. The
printer name is the name that has been set when the printer driver has been installed. In the default setting, the name is
the printer model name followed by "PCL5e", "PCL6", "PS" or "PPD".
Example 1: If the printer name is "SHARP AR-336 PCL5e" and the IP address is "192.168.1.100",
192.168.1.100 SHARP AR-336 PCL5e
Example 2: If the printer name is "SHARP AR-505 PS" and the IP address is "10.1.1.1",
10.1.1.1 SHARP AR-505 PS
As shown above, the IP address and printer name are entered with spaces as a delimiter.
N
Enter the IP address from the beginning of a line.
N
Any number of spaces can be entered between the IP address and printer name but TAB characters must not be
entered. If a TAB is entered, the character TAB and following characters are regarded as a printer name.
N
Spaces can be entered in a printer name.
N
If "#" is entered at the beginning of a line, the line will be ignored. Use "#" for writing comment. Use the sample file
by deleting "#" and rewriting the IP address and printer name.
