7 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ABOUT THIS GUIDE This user guide describes how to connect and configure your SuperScript 1800 printer as a network printer. For information about using the printer, see the NEC SuperScript 1800 User s Guide. The chapters in this guide, and the sections they contain, are presented in a logical way that guides you from start to finish. Chapter 1, Introduction, introduces you to network printing and the features of the SuperScript 1800 printer. Chapter 2, Networking Topologies, introduces you to three methods (topologies) used for networking your printer. Once you understand how they work, select which method fits your needs and requirements, then continue with Chapter 3, Connecting the Printer. Chapter 3, Connecting the Printer, describes how to install a network interface card (NIC), in case you purchased a printer without a NIC, then describes how to connect the printer to a network. The final section describes how to configure the NIC so it can communicate with your network. Chapter 4, Peer-to-Peer Topology, and Chapter 5, Printer Server Topology, describe how to implement the topologies described in Chapter 2. Appendix A, Operator Panel Commands, is a reference that describes the network menu items in the printer s Operator Panel and how to navigate through them. Appendix B, Network Printer Manager, describes what the NEC SuperScript 1800 Network Printer Manager (NPM) is used for and provides a detailed reference of the controls in it. Appendix C, The SuperScript 1800 Web Pages, describes what the printer web pages are used for and provides a detailed reference of the controls in them. Appendix D, Troubleshooting, provides basic information about troubleshooting minor problems. Appendix E, Upgrading the NIC Firmware, describes how to upgrade the firmware located on the NIC. NETWORK PRINTING Network printing involves a network to interconnect print clients and a printer. Each client can use the network for connecting to the printer. Print Clients A print client is any computer that uses the network to connect to the printer. They create print jobs then send them to the printer. Listed below are the types of print clients that can send print jobs to the SuperScript Windows NT 4.0 computers Windows NT Server 4.0 computers Windows 98 computers Windows 95 computers Windows 3.1x computers Macintosh computers running Mac OS 7.1 or higher UNIX computers 1

8 Print Jobs A print job is computer code that contains print data and commands for processing the data. A print client application, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, or graphics program, creates print jobs. Printer Drivers Printer drivers are software located on a print client that enables an application to communicate with the printer. Supplied with your printer are the following printer drivers. PCL6 Printer Driver PCL5e Printer Driver Windows PostScript Printer Driver Any one of these drivers can be used to enable an application to communicate with the printer. Macintosh computers running Mac OS 7.1 or higher, use the LaserWriter8 printer driver. Supplied with your printer is an NEC SuperScript 1800 PPD that helps the LaserWriter8 driver communicate with the printer. UNIX computers have a software utility called LPR which sends plain text or PostScript data to the printer. LPR is part of their operating systems. Printer Port A printer port is a software interface on a print client that makes the connection between the printer driver and the printer. Typically, a printer port must be created on the print client then selected from inside the printer driver. Network Operating Systems Networks use an operating system for managing the network. Depending on the method (topology) used to connect your printer to the network, a network operating system (NOS) may have to be configured to recognize the printer and make it available to print clients. The SuperScript 1800 can directly connect to an Ethernet 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX network that is running the following NOSs. Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Novell NetWare 3.12, 4.x, or 5.x AppleTalk UNIX Network Topologies A network topology describes how equipment, such as printers and computers, are interconnected with the network. Chapter 2, Networking Topologies, describes three topologies for networking the SuperScript Network Interface Card Printers, computers, and other equipment uses network interface cards (NIC) for connecting to a network. The NIC is usually installed inside the printer or computer, and a cable is used to interconnect the NIC with a network. NETWORKING FEATURES For detailed information about the printer s features, see the SuperScript 1800 User s Guide. Network Printer Manager The SuperScript 1800 Network Printer Manager (NPM) is a tool for remotely managing the printer, its NIC, and to some extent, the network operating system. For detailed information about the NPM, see Appendix B, The Network Printer Manager, on page 47. SuperScript 1800 Web Pages The SuperScript 1800 Web Pages are a web site for viewing and administering the printer. The web pages contain many of the same controls as the NPM. After the printer s NIC has been configured with an IP address, a web browser can be used to navigate to the address to view the pages. For detailed information about the web pages, see Appendix C, SuperScript 1800 Web Pages, on page SuperScript 1800 Network User s Guide

9 Operator Panel Commands Located on the printer is the Operator Panel. It has menus for configuring the NIC and for other printer settings. The commands in the Operator Panel are also available in the NPM and the SuperScript 1800 Web Pages. For detailed information about network commands located in the Operator Panel, see Appendix A, Operator Panel Commands, on page 43. NIC Flash Memory The printer s NIC contains memory devices that hold firmware for processing network communications. The firmware also contains the printer s web pages. If NEC Technologies releases a upgraded version of the firmware, a computer running Windows 95 is used to upgrade the NIC firmware. For information about upgrading the firmware, see Appendix E, Upgrading the NIC Firmware, on page 73. INTRODUCTION NETWORKING FEATURES Networking Features 3

11 CHAPTER 2 NETWORK TOPOLOGIES OVERVIEW A network topology describes how a network interconnects computers with other equipment such as a printer. This chapter describes three topologies that can be used as solutions for networking your SuperScript 1800 printer. Note: In this user s guide, the term print client means a computer the can send a print job to the printer. NETWORK INTERFACE AND CABLING There are two characteristics that define an interface to your network the physical and electrical. Physically, the interface to your network must be an RJ-45 socket. Electrically, the interface must be Ethernet 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX. A network cable is used to interconnect the printer with the network interface. The cable must be a Category 3, 4, or 5 cable with RJ-45 plugs fastened to both ends. If connecting to a 100 Megabit Ethernet network, use a shielded Category 5 cable. RJ-45 Plug The RJ-45 plug is fastened to both ends of a Category 3, 4, or 5 network cable. Use this type of cable to interconnect the printer with the network interface. A network cable is not supplied with the printer. TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGIES Three networking topologies can be used for networking your SuperScript 1800 printer. Peer-to-Peer Topology Printer Server Topology Printer Sharing Topology This chapter describes each topology. The following chapters describe how to configure the printer and your computers to use each topology, except for the Printer Sharing Topology. Please refer to your computer s documentation for instructions on how to configure your computer to share a printer. PEER-TO-PEER TOPOLOGY The Peer-to-Peer topology is the simplest way to network your printer. It involves print clients, a printer, and a network to interconnect everything. The Network Operating System (NOS) can be Windows NT Server 4.0 or Novell NetWare 3.12, 4.x, or 5.x. In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print jobs directly to the printer. There is no intermediary computer that gets involved between the printer and the print clients. Each client must compete with other clients for printer availability. If the printer is busy processing a print job, each client must hold their jobs until the printer is ready to accept them. To help alleviate congestion, the printer can be upgraded with more memory to temporarily store multiple jobs until they are printed. Shown on the next page is an illustration of the Peer-to-Peer topology. 5

12 Peer-to-Peer Topology An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer and print clients. Print clients send print jobs directly to the printer, but each must wait for printer availability. Printer Network Cable Network Interface Ethernet Network Print Client Print Client printer in the sequence which they are received. This process relieves a client from having to store the print job and allows them to focus on other computing tasks. The server can also be configured for controlling access to the printer and recording all printing activity. Shown below is a diagram of the printer server topology. The cloud in the center of the diagram represents a LAN that interconnects the printer, the print clients, and the printer server. The network can be a 10 or 100 megabit Ethernet LAN that transports TCP/IP or IPX protocols. Printer Server Topology An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer, printer server, and print clients. Print clients send their print jobs to the printer server where they are queued. The server then sends the jobs to the printer. The server also controls access to the printer. Print Client The cloud in the center of the diagram represents a Local Area Network (LAN) that interconnects the printer and all the print clients. The network can be a 10 or 100 megabit Ethernet LAN that transports TCP/IP or IPX protocols. The printer and each print client use their own network cable to connect to their own network interface. For instructions about configuring a print client for this scenario, read Chapter 4, Peer-to-Peer Topology, on page 17. PRINTER SERVER TOPOLOGY The printer server topology involves a computer, called a printer server. All print clients send their print jobs to the printer server. The printer server then sends the jobs to the printer. The NOS can be Windows NT Server or Novell NetWare. In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print jobs directly to a computer that is configured as a printer server. The server then sends the jobs to the printer. The server uses a process called queueing, meaning it can receive and store multiple print jobs. Jobs are sent to the Printer Server Ethernet Network Printer Network Cable Network Interface Print Client Print Client Print Client 6 SuperScript 1800 Network User s Guide

13 For information about configuring a print client for this scenario, read Chapter 5, Printer Server Topology, on page 23. PRINTER SHARING TOPOLOGY Although this chapter provides a brief description of Microsoft Printer Sharing, instructions for configuring your computer to share a printer is not included in this User s Guide. Refer to your computer s documentation for those instructions. The Printer Sharing topology involves a LAN that interconnects the print clients. The printer is directly connected to one print client using a parallel cable. The client is then configured to share its printer. Clients that want to use the printer must be configured so they can connect to the printer. If the sharing client receives a print job while it s performing other computing tasks, it may experience some slowdown. The NOS can be Microsoft NT Server or Novell NetWare. The LAN can be any type of network that can interconnect the print clients. Printer Sharing Topology In this scenario, a LAN is used to interconnect the print clients. One print client is connected to the printer using a parallel cable, and is also configured to share it with other print clients. The sharing client can control access to the printer. Printer Parallel Cable Print client sharing its printer with other print clients. Any type of LAN Print Client Print Client WHAT NEXT After reading the previous sections about how the SuperScript 1800 printer can be networked, select a topology that best fits your needs and requirements, then read Chapter 3, Connecting the Printer, on page 9. If the Printer Sharing topology will be used, refer to your computer s documentation for instructions on how to share the printer.

15 CHAPTER 3 CONNECTING THE PRINTER OVERVIEW In order for your printer to connect and communicate with a Local Area Network (LAN), your printer must contain a Network Interface Card (NIC). A network cable is then used to interconnect the printer with your LAN. The SuperScript 1800 can be ordered with or without an installed NIC. If your printer did not come with a NIC, one can be ordered from NEC. Ask for the 10/100Base-TX Network Interface Kit, Order Number The kit can be ordered across the internet from NEC s web site at This chapter describes how to install the 10/100Base-TX Network Interface Kit, how to connect the printer to your LAN, and how to setup the NIC so the printer can communicate with your network. Where to Start If a NIC is not installed in your printer, begin at the next section, Installing the NIC. If your printer already has a NIC installed, begin at Connecting the Printer on page 11 for instructions about physically connecting the printer to your network. 9

16 INSTALLING THE NIC Installing the NIC involves first accessing the printer Controller Board. Accessing the Printer Controller Board The printer Controller Board manages and controls all printer functions. It is also the place where the NIC is installed. To access the Controller Board: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Pull out the 500-sheet Cassette tray (A). 3. Disconnect all cables from printer. 4. Position the printer so the right side of the printer can be worked on. 5. Remove screws from the side cover then open back cover (B). 6. Pull tab to release the side cover (C). 7. Slide side cover towards the back of the printer (D). 8. Rotate the side cover away from printer (assure wiresnaps on the parallel port are not in the way), then lift the side cover away (E). 9. Loosen top screw of controller board cover, remove remaining 4 screws, then remove the metal cover (F). When finished with Step 9, continue at NIC Installation on page 11.

18 CONFIGURING THE NIC After the NIC is installed and the printer is physically connected to your network, the NIC must be configured. The NIC can be configured by using the printer s Operator Panel, or by using the NEC SuperScript 1800 Network Printer Manager (NPM). It can also be configured by the SuperScript 1800 Web Pages. Use the Operator Panel for configuring the most basic parameters of the NIC, such as turning on TCP\IP, DHCP, AppleTalk, and NetWare protocol stacks, and for configuring an IP address. This method is suited for connecting to a small or simple network. The NPM is a tool that must run on a computer running Windows 95 or 98. It has more controls for configuring the NIC than the Operator Panel. Your network may be large and have many printers connected to it. In this case, the NPM can be used for performing all the tasks that can be done at the Operator Panel, and also for assigning a printer name so that it can be easily identified on a network by users. For information about installing the NPM, see Appendix B on page 47. SuperScript 1800 Web Pages Located in the printer are web pages that can be used for configuring the printer and viewing printer operational status. These pages can only be viewed after the printer has been assigned an IP address through the Operator Panel or NPM. The pages then can be viewed through any popular web browser by navigating to the printer s IP address. If you plan on configuring the NIC through the printer s Operator Panel, afterwards, you can use the web pages to assign a name to the printer, so it can be easily identified by network users. IPX and AppleTalk protocol stacks may also be turned on by using these pages. For more information about the SuperScript 1800 Web Pages, see Appendix C on page 57. Using the Printer s Operator Panel Note: Appendix A, on page 43, provides detailed information about navigating the Operator Panel network menus. Configuring the IP Address The printer can be configured to use a static or dynamically assigned IP address. The static assignment can be done by directly entering in an address, or by requesting one from a BOOTP or RARP server. Subnet mask and gateway (router) addresses can also be entered.

23 CHAPTER 4 PEER-TO-PEER TOPOPLOGY INTRODUCTION The Peer-to-Peer topology is the simplest way to network your printer. It involves print clients, a printer, and a network to interconnect everything. The network operating system (NOS) can be Windows NT Server 4.0 or Novell NetWare 3.12, 4.x, or 5.x. In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print jobs directly to the printer. There is no intermediary computer that gets involved between the printer and the print clients. For more information about this type of topology, see Peerto-Peer Topology on page 5. Peer-to-Peer Topology An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer and print clients. Print clients send print jobs directly to the printer, but each must wait for printer availability. Printer Network Cable Network Interface Ethernet Network Print Client Print Client BASIC REQUIREMENTS Before you configure a computer to communicate with the printer, the following prerequisites must be met. The NIC must be installed in the printer (see Page 10). The printer must be physically connected to a network (see Page 11). The NIC must be configured (see Page 12). CONFIGURING A WINDOWS CLIENT There are four types of networked Windows computers that can be configured for sending print jobs to the SuperScript 1800 printer. Computers running Windows 95 Computers running Windows 98 Computers running Windows NT 4.0 Computers running Windows 3.1x cannot be configured as print client in the peer-to-peer topology, but they can be a client in the printer server topology. Windows 95 and 98 Computers Configuring a Windows 95 or 98 computer so it can communicate with the printer involves installing a printer driver, then configuring a printer port. When selecting a driver during the installation process, NEC recommends using the PCL6 driver because of it s advanced features. Use the PCL5e driver for legacy applications. A Windows Postscript driver may also be installed. Print Client 17
