4.6.3 B003/B004/B006/B007 NCS (NIB) MODIFICATION HISTORY
DESCRIPTION OF MODIFICATION
First mass production
Firmware modified to correct the following:
1. After a communication failure breaks the connection
between the NIB and Network Twain driver, the driver is
unable to re-establish connection (unless the A-C2 is
powered Off/On).
2. When 80000000(H) or more is registered in the Manager
IPX Address 2 (Web Status Monitor), the setting is
changed to an unspecified one.
3. If several print jobs are sent one after another to the NIB
via the IPP port of SmartNetMonitor for Client, the NIB
terminates printing. (Also, a print job sent by the standard
IPP port may be canceled).
4. The USTATUS information may be lost, depending on
when the USTATUS is sent during bi-directional
communication over TCP/IP port 9100.
5. With bi-directional communication enabled for TCP port
9100, printing operation is inhibited after data is sent from
an application utility that does not support bi-directional
communication (e.g. Port Navi, MDP).
6. The IP address 0.0.0.0 can be set by the ifconfig
command.
7. The wording of the message for saving data at logoff was
corrected from "datas" to "data".
Change in Specification:
1. Information such as the IP address and printing protocol
(Client PCs) was added to the syslog file for access
restriction.
2. The display width for the ID of the prnlog command with
telnet, rsh, and ftp was expanded from 2 to 10 digits.
Firmware modified to correct the following:
1. When using signature level 2 on the NetWare Server, the
printer does not connect to the NetWare Server.
2. The printer cannot print more than one job sent from a
CICS application on an IBM Main Frame (e.g. OS/390)
when the application uses lpd protocol unique to CICS.
3. The lpd process on the printer is interrupted when
lpq/lprm commands with arguments are executed more
than 50 times after the printer has been turned on.
4. When trying to access the Web Status Monitor for a
printer during printing via the ipp port, the httpd process
is occasionally interrupted.
5. When there are several messages displayed, such as
error messages after a malfunction, Apple Talk protocol
is occasionally interrupted during printing.
6. When the printer is not ready due to an open cover, the
message "Printer is not ready" is not indicated in lpd or
stat command.
7. When executing the prnlog command designate job ID
0, no information is indicated.
