Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration 1.5 Upgrading from a Kodak 10Mbit NIC The Kodak 10/100 Mbit NIC may be used to upgrade any Kodak printers that are currently using a Kodak 10Mbit NIC with a ÒMIL-3007EKÒsticker on the bottom of the NIC.
Page 13: Protocols
A color-capable printer accepting large print jobs (1 to 100 Mbytes) may be a critical factor in environments where network utilization optimization is critical. A Kodak printer with a Kodak 10/100 NIC operating in a 100 Mbit environment may drastically improve your networkÕs performance because it will only require a fraction (1/10) of the subnet network bandwidth that would be necessary if it was operating at 10 Mbits.

NIC Installation and Verification 2. Hold the card so that the printer connector is facing down and the network cable receptacle is toward you. 3. Tilt the card at about a 30-degree angle, and slide the front into the NIC slot. Seat the card by positioning the connector on the bottom of the card against the receptacle on the mother board.
Page 24 NIC Installation and Verification The green Link LED should come ON and remain ON until the printer reaches READY. The yellow Net Trafﬁc should blink 3 to 4 times a second until the printer reaches READY. This process may occur twice; the NIC will start a power up sequence and then the printer will issue an additional NIC reset during the printer initialization sequence.

Windows NT systems are supposed to support automatic downloading of other OS drivers when users conÞgure their OS for printing to a Windows NT queue. For non-Windows NT OSs, i.e.,Windows 95, the proper Kodak OS driver is not downloaded. When a printer is shared on a server, do not select other OSs that will use the queue.
