To install the internal PRO print server card
in your printer
1Power down the printer and disconnect the printer power cable.
2If necessary, remove the cover plate from the printer MIO
(Modular Input/Output) slot.
3Record the NetportExpress print server device ID so you can refer
to it later.
4Check the back of the MIO slot to see where the connector is.
5Insert the print server card, making sure you align the connector
on the card with the connector at the back of the MIO slot. When
correctly seated, the face plate on the card should rest flat against
the printer frame.
6Secure the print server card by tightening the screws. Alternate
tightening them to keep the card stable in the slot.
7Attach the network cable for your type of network.
8Plug in the printer power cable and power on the printer.
9Press the diagnostics button on the NetportExpress print server
card to print a test page. The test page includes the Device ID and
other configuration information.

Software Installation
UNIX and AIX software installation
Turn to the NOS Configuration section in this manual for UNIX or
AIX systems.
Novell and Microsoft networks software installation
Installing Netport Manager software on one Windows-based
workstation lets you manage all of your NetportExpress print servers.
You can run Netport Manager on Windows 3.1x, Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, and Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 systems.
ToinstallNetportManager
1Insert the CD-ROM in the selected Windows system.
•Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 systems. The setup program
should automatically appear. If it does not, choose Start and
Run and browse to the CD-ROM drive.
•Windows 3.1x orWindows NT 3.51. From Program Manager,
click the File menu and then click Run. Browse to the CD-
ROM drive.
2Run setup.exe fromtheroot directory.
3Install Netport Manager, then turn to the appropriate NOS section
to configure the NetportExpress print server for your system.
Note: If only the IP protocol is running on the system where you install
Netport Manager, the NetportExpress print server must have an
IP address to communicate with Netport Manager. To see if the
print server has an IP address, print a test page. To assign an IP
address, see page 15.

Making installation diskettes
You can make installation diskettes for the following:
•Netport Manager
•Port Monitor (for Microsoft Network printing)
Making installation disks lets you install these programs on any
system that has a 3-1/2 inch diskette drive. To make the diskettes,
insert the CD-ROM into a CD-ROM drive. When the setup screen
appears, click Make Setup Disks.
Web Netport Manager
If you do not have a Windows-based workstation on your network for
running Netport Manager, you can set up your NetportExpress print
server using your Web browser. The print server contains a Web server
that lets you view and change settings on the print server from your
Web browser. This method requires an IP address for the
NetportExpress print server.
•To find out if the print server has an IP address, print a test page by
pressing the “diag” button on the print server.
•To set an IP address, see “Setting an IP address” on pages 15 and 20.
•To access Web Netport Manager, see “Using Web Netport Manager”
on page 31.

Novell NetWare NDS Print Server Mode
Configuration
In this mode, the NetportExpress print server replaces the NetWare
printserverprogram.TheNetportExpressprintserverpollstheNetWare
file server queue for print jobs, then sends each job directly to the
printer. This speeds up the printing process. Print server mode is
recommendedbecauseit provides thebestprintingperformance. It
requiresoneNetWareuserlicenseforeachprintserver(including
multi-portprintservers).
To set up the print server for NDS print server mode
Note: Netport Manager will create any queues or print servers you
need for your NetWare setup. You don’t have to create these
objects in NWADMIN or PCONSOLE.
1Log in as Admin at the workstation where you installed Netport
Manager.
2Start Netport Manager.
3Select the print server whose Device ID matches the number of
the NetportExpress print server you installed.
4Click the Configure button.
5Select Novell NDS Print Server.
6Select a context for the print server. The context is the container
where the print server object will be created.
7For each printer connected to the print server, click a Port tab and
assign an existing queue or add a new queue.
•To assign an existing queue, double-click the queue to add it
to the Assigned Queues list.
•To add a new queue, click New Queues and create the queue.
8Click OK and exit Netport Manager.
To set up a workstation to print
At each workstation that will print to this printer, use the capture
command or the workstation’s print utility to redirect printing to the
NetWare queue you set up. For instructions see the NetportExpress
Help section on NetWare printing.

Novell NetWare NDS Remote Printer Mode
Configuration
In this mode, PSERVER.NLM polls the NetWare file server queue for
waiting print jobs, then sends the print job to the Netport print server,
which then sends the data to the printer. This mode does not require a
NetWare user license for each NetportExpress print server, but is not
recommended because it is much slower than print server mode.
To set up the print server for Novell NetWare NDS remote

then click Add.
4Click OK.
5Return to the OS/2 command prompt and type: NET ADMIN
In Microsoft LAN Manager and IBM LAN Server printing, the worksta-
tion sends a print job to a printing process, and the job is put in a print
queue and sent to the NetportExpress print server. The print server then
routes the job to the printer through one of its connected ports.
If you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation on the network,
you can also print using Microsoft network printing. See pages 12-15.
