1.5 Upgrading from a Kodak 10Mbit NIC
The Kodak 10/100 Mbit NIC may be used to upgrade any Kodak printers
that are currently using a Kodak 10Mbit NIC with a ÒMIL-3007EKÒsticker
on the bottom of the NIC.
Note: This manual is applicable only to Kodak printers using this Kodak
10/100 NIC upgrade relative to NIC conÞguration methods.
1.6 Kodak 10/100 NIC Features
The NIC is an autodetecting 10 or 100 Mbps, network interface card that
allows users to connect directly to a Kodak printer or proofer on Ethernet
networks using 10BaseT or 100BaseT network media.
The NIC connects printers directly to Ethernet networks utilizing IPX,
EtherTalk, TCP/IP and/or NetBios/Netbeui protocols in support of Novell
NetWare 3.x, Netware 4.x, Netware NDS, IBM OS/2, MS-DOS, Windows
3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Macintosh and
Unix environments. In general, any system that supports the NIC
protocols should be able to use this NIC to print to Kodak printers.
1.6.1 Hardware Features
¥ NIC motherboard, with Ethernet controller and custom shared DMA
interface to Kodak printer. The NIC connects directly to Ethernet
networks via an RJ-45 connector.
¥ CPU: An Intel 80186 processor, with a 16 MHz clock.
¥ 1 MByte of memory via Flash EPROMs: 2 Flash EPROMs are 29F040
devices. Each EPROM is 4 Mbits and arranged in 2 ´ 256k ´ 8 format.
Firmware upgrades of the ßash EPROMs can be done via network
connections.
¥ MAC chipset: Ethernet controller is 10/100 Mbps, with SRAM for data
buffering, and its own memory management.10 Mbit vs. 100 Mbit
autosensing accommodates network speed capabilities.
¥ 2 switches on the NIC faceplate provide Normal, Normal + Telnet, and
NIC conÞguration test page modes of NIC operation.
¥ Green and Yellow LEDs indicate network connectivity and trafÞc.

1.7 Protocols
¥ The NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell IPX, EtherTalk and NetBeui/NetBios
protocols.
¥ Users can print in either PostScript or raster mode.
IMPORTANT: Printing in raster mode using EtherTalk is possible only
from a Macintosh. For non-Macintosh systems using
EtherTalk, you can print only in PostScript mode.
1.8 Network Performance
Network performance depends heavily on the topology of a network
(networked elements, that is, the # of users/nodes, inter-connectivity and
conÞguration of hubs, switches, subnets, routers, etc.) and will vary for
speciÞc environments.
A color-capable printer accepting large print jobs (1 to 100 Mbytes) may
be a critical factor in environments where network utilization optimization
is critical. A Kodak printer with a Kodak 10/100 NIC operating in a 100
Mbit environment may drastically improve your networkÕs performance
because it will only require a fraction (1/10) of the subnet network
bandwidth that would be necessary if it was operating at 10 Mbits.
1.9 NIC and Printer Installation/ConÞguration Overview
The diagram on the next page and the text that follows provide an
overview of NIC and printer installation and conÞguration procedures.

Step 1:Determine your Network and Printing Environment. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)
NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell Netware, AppleTalk & Native Windows (NetBeui) Protocols.
Step 2: Gather Necessary Hardware & Software Components. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)
NIC, NIC ConÞg S/W, Printer, Printer ConÞg S/W, i.e.PostScript Drivers and Raster Export
Modules
NIC Pre-installed in Printer? Step 3: Install the NIC in the Printer.
(Ch2:NIC Install) Requires NIC, Phillips or
T10 Torque Screwdriver, and Static Strap.
No
Yes
Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC. (Ch3:FastManage, Ch9:Apple/Macintosh, Appendix: A Telnet)
Recommendation: Use defaults until successful network printing is demonstrated.
Complete the following if using TCP/IP. (TCP/IP minimally requires an IP Address).
The quickest method (when IP = 0.0.0.0) is to use ÒarpÓ and ÒtelnetÓ commands.
1) Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) and power cycle printer.
2) Use arp -s <IP Address> <NIC Ethernet Address>
3) Use telnet <IP Address> 2002.
5) Follow Telnet Ethernet>TCP/IP>Set IP menus to set IP address and then Reset the NIC.
6) Power cycle the printer.
Use Server
Print Queues?
Step 5:ConÞgure Server (Ch4:Novell, Ch7/8 Windows
NT, Ch10:Unix)
Yes
No
Step 6: ConÞgure Workstations for PostScript and/or Raster Mode Printing. (Ch5-8
Windows, Ch9 Macintosh)
Install proper PostScript Driver (for printer in PostScript mode) and/or Kodak Export Module
plug-in (for printer in raster mode).
Step7:Printer in PostScript Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Print
from Applications and
Select the Kodak Printer.
Step7:Printer in Raster Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Export
from Adobe PhotoShop and Select
the Kodak Printer.

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment
Consult with your system/network administrator regarding
¥ Protocols: Determine the network protocol(s) (TCP/IP, Novell IPX,
AppleTalk and/or NetBIOS) to use for communicating to the printer/
NIC.
¥ NIC ConÞguration Platform: Determine the platform that is appropriate
for conÞguring NIC network parameters.
¥ Servers: Determine any servers that will be used to spool and manage
jobs sent to corresponding printer queues.
¥ Printing Platforms: Determine the workstation platforms that will be
used for creating and sending print jobs.
Step 2: Gather the necessary components
¥ Hardware: Kodak printer, Kodak 10/100 NIC, and network cabling
certiÞed for 10 or 100 Mbit operation depending on the speed of your
network.
¥ Networking components: Networking components (cables, converters,
hubs, etc.) are not included with the NIC. You must purchase
interconnecting networking components needed to support a speciÞc
environment separately.
If a BNC (10Base2) connection is required, purchase a BNC/RJ45
transceiver or hub from your local dealer or distributor.
If a direct RJ45 (10/100BaseT) connection from a single computer to
a printer is required, a mini-hub and two network cables should be
used, minimally. We do not recommend using an Rx/Tx crossover
cable to defeat the need for a hub because it is a custom cable that
may not be available from a local dealer/distributor. Refer to the RJ54
connector description in Appendix D.
¥ NIC ConÞguration Software: Determine the NIC conÞguration utility
software appropriate for the platform. Use FastManage Utilities
(provided) or NBMon for Windows platforms, Laserwriter Utilities
(provided) for Macintosh platforms. Telnet (not provided) can be used
for any platform that supports TCP/IP.

¥ Windows & Macintosh Printer ConÞguration Software: PostScript
drivers for Kodak printers for printing when the printer is in PostScript
mode and Export modules for printing when the printer is in raster
mode. For Unix platforms, refer to Appendix E, Technical Assistance.
¥ Printer/NIC documentation and software: If you cannot locate the
software that came with your printer and NIC, the latest printer and
NIC documentation and software are available on the Kodak Web site
(www.kodak.com). You may wish to copy components that are
pertinent to your printer and NIC to a local server for quick access by
those who are responsible for setting up their individual workstations.
Note: If you have problems related to printer or NIC software, check
the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) to verify that you have
the latest version. Download the latest version, if necessary.
Step 3: Install the NIC hardware, if necessary
¥ Install the NIC in the Kodak printer, if necessary. Refer to the NIC
Hardware Installation chapter for installation details and to verify
proper NIC operation on powerup.
Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC from the desired platform
¥ NIC Defaults: We recommend that you use the default parameters
initially until the printer functions on your network.
¥ NIC ConÞguration SW: If you decide not to use the defaults, install the
remote conÞguration software utilities appropriate for the platform.
Refer to the appropriate chapter for details.

NIC ConÞguration Software
¥Windows: The NIC may be conÞgured from Windows-based platforms
using NIC FastManage, NBMon or Telnet utilities. Refer to the
Windows FastManage Utility chapter.
¥Macintosh: The NIC may be conÞgured from Macintosh-based
platforms using NIC LaserWriter utilities. Refer to the Apple Macintosh
- Laserwriter Utilities section. Telnet may also be used.
¥Unix: Use Telnet utilities.
¥Telnet: The NIC may be conÞgured from any platform supporting TCP/
IP via TELNET utilities after an IP address has been established.
Refer to Appendix A, Telnet.
IMPORTANT: This 10/100 NIC is configurable ONLY by using remote
configuration utilities listed above. Use of the front control
panel and corresponding test page is not pertinent to this
NIC.
Step 5: ConÞgure the print servers, if necessary
Determine whether server print queues will be used and conÞgure the
appropriate servers.
Chapter 4 describes how to conÞgure Novell servers.
Procedures for conÞguring Windows NT servers are identical to
procedures for conÞguring Windows NT workstations with the exception
of ÒsharingÓ the printer. Refer to Windows NT chapters.
Step 6: ConÞgure the printer on workstations
Determine the printer modes (PostScript and raster) that will be used.
Install the PostScript and raster printer software.
PostScript mode: PostScript printer drivers or PPDs must be installed on
each platform that prints to the printer.

Raster mode: Printer drivers (referred to as Export Modules) must be
installed on each platform that prints (exports) Þles to the printer. Export
modules are used with Adobe PhotoShop and with the Kodak Printer
Calibration Utilities. Applications that are Adobe Photoshop Plug-in
module-compliant could also use a Kodak printer export module.
Platform Print Drivers: Kodak develops printer-speciÞc drivers and
export modules for Macintosh and most PC platforms. Drivers for other
platforms (that is, Unix) may be available through alternate vendors who
support Kodak printers. Refer to Appendix E if necessary.
If a Kodak driver is not available for a particular platform, you can use a
generic PostScript driver; however, it may not support all printer features.
Step 7: Printing
Refer to Chapter 11, Printing, for information about mode selection and
printing to Kodak printers in PostScript or raster mode.
Troubleshooting
Refer to chapter 12, Troubleshooting, before contacting your retailer
(1st)or Kodak (2nd) for technical assistance.

2 NIC Installation and Verification
This chapter describes how to install the NIC in the Kodak XLS 8400 and
8600 printers, the Kodak Digital Science 8650 printer, the Kodak
Professional 8657 printer, the Kodak Digital Science Desktop Color
Proofer 9000, and the Kodak Digital Science DCP 9300 Proofer. It also
describes how to run the verification test using the default configurations
after the NIC is installed. See the last part of this chapter for information
about NIC LEDs and operating mode switches for power-up hardware
verification.
For a fee, you may have a Kodak service representative install the NIC in
the printer.This fee covers hardware installation only. Network setup
tasks are still your responsibility. If you install the NIC yourself, you are
responsible for any damage that occurs during installation.
2.1 Equipment Requirements
When installing a new NIC or replacing a NIC, you need
• a Phillips-head or Torque-head (T15) screwdriver. Check the rear of
the printer to determine the screwdriver you need.
• network cabling certified for 10 and/or 100 Mbit operation depending
on the speed of your network.The Kodak Printer and NIC support
10BaseT or 100BaseT cabling directly. For 100 Mbit operation, use
category 5 (CAT 5), unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling.
2.2 Preparing the Kodak 8400/86xx series Printers
1. Turn off and unplug the printer.

2. Attach the wrist portion of the antistatic strap to your wrist. Attach the
other end of the strap to the metal plate on the back of the printer.
CAUTION: Wear the antistatic strap when you open the back of the
printer, remove the NIC from the antistatic bag, and
install the NIC. This helps prevent static discharge
damage to the printer and the NIC.
3. Remove the three screws that hold the NIC slot cover (or existing NIC)
in place and set the slot cover aside. Also, remove the five screws on
the back of the printer.
