NETWORK CONFIGURATION
INTRODUCTION
Your machine incorporates a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface. This guide
explains the functionality of the built in network interface. Access for interconnection is
provided via an interface panel at the rear of the machine.
This network interface supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-II and SNAP, and can
detect those frame types automatically.
Also, the interface supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX (NetWare) and
NetBEUI.
This guide details the network interface specification and several software utilities.
You should set the emulation in the printer menu settings to Auto or PS before printing the
configuration map.

NOTE
Not all utilities, features or protocols are supported by every operating
system. Please check with your support website for latest information.

PRINTING FROM WINDOWS
OVERVIEW
This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network from various Microsoft
Windows platforms. There are numerous ways of printing from Windows and the exact set-
up will vary depending upon your environment. There are also numerous versions of
Windows, which can be configured as either a client, server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of network printing are the
same. Microsoft provides on-line help with all of their operating systems and this is a good
reference point for the exact details of each configuration option within Windows.

NOTE
Not all utilities, features or protocols are supported by every operating
system. Please check with your support website for latest information.

INSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER

There are two ways to set up a Network Printer:
> Install automatically, using the Oki Driver Installer
> Install it yourself using the Add Printer Wizard

USING THE OKI DRIVER INSTALLER

The Oki Driver Installer program searches for compatible printers on the Network, then
installs and configures the printer drivers with the correct port settings automatically.
Using the Oki Driver Installer program, you can install to the following connected printer
types:
1. Locally connected printers
> USB port
> Parallel port (if available)
2. Networked printers
> Directly connected (peer-to-peer) printers via TCP/IP
The Microsoft standard TCP/IP is installed and configured to use Port 9100 with the
printer’s IP address.
> Printers not directly connected, but shared via a PC (Client Server)
Why use the Oki Driver Installer?
> Automatically discovers printers on the Network (TCP/IP)
> Installs driver and correctly assigns the appropriate port and IP address
> Allows easy configuration and sharing of the printer with other Network users
> Automatically configures the printer driver with the appropriate hardware device
options such as, additional paper trays, etc. (via the Oki Network Extension
software)

USING THE ADD PRINTER WIZARD

Method summary:
The following table shows the different ways to connect to the printer (port types).

WINDOWS WINDOWS WINDOWS WINDOWS

2000 XP VISTA 7

Windows YES YES YES YES

standard TCP/IP

Oki LPR YES YES YES YES

IPP YES YES YES YES

NetBEUI YES YES NO NO

About the different methods

Windows standard TCP/IP port
The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers using the TCP/IP
protocol. A computer that acts as a print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to
print.
Can be configured to use either LPR or RAW (e.g. Port9100).
OkiLPR
Used to connect your printer over TCP/IP using an LPR port.
OkiLPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS and PRN files directly to your
printer and automatically redirect jobs to other printers on the network.
IPP
The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) defines a standard protocol for printing as well as
managing print jobs, media, resolution, etc.
NetBEUI
NetBEUI (NetBios Extended User Interface) is a protocol that was designed for use in small
workgroups or LANs. Within Windows NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between
computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but it does have limitations, and is not
as robust as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small business or home networks.

Printing from windows > 32

NETWORK PRINTER IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION
Use the Standard Set-up Utility to configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.

NOTE
It will not be necessary for printers connected to a network using DCHP to use
this setup method.
Some steps may not display depending on the network protocols installed.

1. Connect the machine to the network and turn on.

2. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The Setup Utility starts automatically. If
it does not start, double-click \setup.exe (in the root directory) on the
CD-ROM.
3. Select the appropriate language.
4. Navigate to and select Network Software.
5. Select the Install Network Card Setup Utility link.
6. Select your language.
7. Select Oki Device Quick Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.

8. Select the appropriate network card, using the Ethernet address to identify it, and
click Next.
The Ethernet Address (MAC address) is displayed on the configuration map, refer to
“Configuration settings” on page 7.

Printing from windows > 33

 Using TCP/IP protocol
When using lpr in UNIX and other TCP/IP environments, please select Yes. To use in
a TCP/IP environment, an IP address should be assigned to the Ethernet card.
If Yes has been selected and TCP/IP is the only working protocol and the IP address
has not already been assigned, you can either obtain an IP address automatically or
assign an IP address.
When Obtain an IP address automatically is selected, the device IP address will
be automatically assigned by the DHCP server. In an environment without a DHCP
server, please assign the IP address manually.
If you are manually assigning an IP address, you need to enter:
> An IP address
> Subnet mask
> Gateway address
9. Click Next.
Using Bonjour protocol
Bonjour is the preferred protocol for printing data from the Macintosh environment.
Using NetBEUI protocol
Using NetBEUI makes it easy to manage your Oki product and print within the
network environment of Windows.
10. When the settings are correct, click Execute. The new settings are transmitted to
the network card but it still operates with pre-transmission settings.
11. Click Finish to validate the new settings.
12. Switch the printer off for 15 seconds and on again.
Now that both Windows and the printer have been configured to use TCP/IP, the next step
is to configure Windows to print to the network printer.

NETBEUI PROTOCOL

NETWORK PRINTER SETTINGS

There are two configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer. These can be
configured using the standard set-up utility described in “Device setup” on page 12.

COMPUTER NAME NAME ASSIGNED TO THE PRINTER

Workgroup PrintServera

Comment User definable description

a. Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended

that it remains as PrintServer.

Although there are some differences in configuration options between the various Windows
platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is the same.
Please ensure the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows. This can be confirmed
by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI has not been installed please refer to the
section below.
The relevant Windows installation CD-ROM may be required and you should follow the on-
screen dialogue box prompts.

Change the cable and try again.
Check the host name and IP address are configured in the workstation.
Check the printer port name is configured in the workstation.
There are three port names: lp, euc and sjis. Use lp by default as euc and sjis are specific
to PostScript printers.

INCORRECT USER NAME ON THE BANNER PAGE

If printing with lpr, the user name printed is unknown and the filename printed is the Spool
file name.
If printing with FTP, the user name printed is the user name entered during FTP login and
the file name printed is the transmitted file name. If the print directory name is indicated
