Page 143: Precautions
When configuration is necessary, follow the appropriate procedures below. Connecting a Dial-Up Router to a Network When the NetWare file server and the printer are on the opposite side of a router, packets are continuously sent back and forth, possibly causing communications charges to increase.
Page 144: Postscript Printing From Windows
You should not configure the form feed on NetWare. The form feed is controlled by the printer driver on Windows. If the NetWare form feed is configured, the printer might not work properly. If you want to change the form feed setting, al- ways configure it on Windows.
Page 145: Using Dhcp
Using DHCP You can use the printer under a DHCP environment. You can also register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running. If you connect an Ethernet interface and IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394) interface simul- taneously, pay attention to the following: ❖...
Page 146 Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional/Windows Server 2003 Server, and NetWare 5/5.1, 6. ❒ If you do not use the WINS server, reserve the printer's IP address in the DHCP server so that the same IP address is assigned every time.
Page 147: Configuring A Wins Server
Configuring a WINS Server The printer can be configured to register its NetBIOS name with a WINS server when power is turned on. This enables the NetBIOS name of the printer to be specified from SmartNetMonitor for Admin even under a DHCP environment.
Page 148: When Using The Nib Setup Tool
• The network printer can only receive one print job from SmartNetMonitor for Client at a time. While the network printer is printing a job, another user can- not access the network printer until it completes the job. In this case, Smart- NetMonitor for Client tries to access the network printer until the retry interval expires.
