Basic Terminology
1-2 Print Server Installation Manual
1.1 Basic Terminology
In order to install your print server, you will need various data and
parameters. This information will be explained in this section.
1.1.1. Hardware Address
Structure of
Hardware Address
A print server is addressable by means of its world-wide unique
hardware address. This address is commonly referred to as the
MAC or Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this
address in the hardware of the print server. The address consists of
12 hexadecimal numbers. The first six numbers represent the
manufacturer, while the last six numbers represent the individual
card.
Where Can I Find
the Hardware
Address?
The hardware address of your print server is on a label pasted onto
the actual card and can be read easily. On the print server, you will
find a hardware address of '00c0eb0001ff.' Here, '00c0eb'
identifies the manufacturer, while '0001ff' is the number of your
print server. If your print server has already been installed, you can
find the hardware address using either the print server homepage,
the KyoNetCon, SNMP, or the status page.
Spelling of
Hardware Address
You must enter the hardware address during the installation of the
print server software. This entry varies depending on the operating
system in use:
Operating system Representation Example
Windows Hyphens 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff
UNIX Colons or periods 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff or
00.c0.eb.00.01.ff

Basic Terminology
Print Server Installation Manual 1-3
1.1.2. Print Server Name
Name Structure The print server name is made up of two letters 'SB' and the print
server number. The print server number consists of the last six
numbers of its hardware address.
Example: Hardware address: 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff
Print server name: SB0001FF
Where Do I Find the
Name?
The print server name can also be found using either the print
server homepage, the KyoNetCon, SNMP, or the status page.
Apple and Novell
Name
In Novell and Apple networks, the Novell or Apple name is used.
Upon delivery, the print server name corresponds to the Novell or
Apple name. The Novell or the Apple name may be changed using
the print server homepage, the KyoNetCon, SNMP or FTP
parameter transfer.
1.1.3. Logical Printer
What Are Logical
Printers?
Logical printers are so-called pre-installed print server filters. Print
data is interpreted according to the set logical printer. The print
server has eight available logical printers. Each logical printer has
a different function.
Which Logical
Printers Are
Available?
The following pre-defined logical printers are available:
No. Preset function
1 Default settings
2 Changes Line Feed (LF) to Carriage Return with Line Feed (LF+CR)

Basic Terminology
1-4 Print Server Installation Manual
Logical Printer
Configuration
You may change the function for every logical printer by changing
the corresponding configuration parameter. This parameter can be
changed using either the print server homepage, the KyoNetCon,
SNMP or FTP parameter transfer.
Addressing Logical
Printer
Depending on your system, logical printers may be addressed in
various ways.
Windows 2000,
Windows NT, and
UNIX
In Windows 2000, Windows NT, and UNIX networks, the logical
printers are addressed with 'lp1' through 'lp8.'
Windows 98 and 95 If the LPD protocol is not available, as is the case of Windows 98
networks, you may use the TCP/IP ports corresponding to the
logical printers instead. Refer to the "TCP/IP Ports" section on
page 1-15.
Novell In Novell networks, the logical printers are addressed with '#1'
through '#8.'
FTP In the case of an FTP print data transfer, the logical printers are
addressed with 'lp1' through 'lp8.'
Example: put <file name> lp1
3 Prints the status page as PostScript
4 Prints a banner page in Novell networks or if the LPD protocol is used
5 Prints all data in hex dump mode. Hex dump mode is mainly used to search for
faulty or missing print data. The data is printed as a byte in hexadecimal form
instead of letters and numbers. Printer control commands are printed as
hexadecimal values and do not influence the printing result in any way.
6 Not assigned
7 Not assigned
8 Supports the RSO Spooler (BS2000)
No. Preset function

Basic Terminology
Print Server Installation Manual 1-5
Apple No logical printers are available in Apple networks.

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
1-6 Print Server Installation Manual
1.2 Basic TCP/IP Terminology
In Windows and UNIX networks, TCP/IP is used for
communication between the various participants. In order to
install your print server in TCP/IP-based networks, you must enter
certain data and parameters. This information is described in the
following section. If you are already familiar with TCP/IP, please
read the "Installation in Windows Networks" chapter on page 3-1
or the "Installation in UNIX Networks" chapter on page 4-1.
1.2.1. IP Address
What Is the IP
Address?
The IP address is the unique address of each node in a network:
i.e., an IP address may occur only once on a local network. The
system administrator usually assigns the IP address. The address
must be saved in the print server to make sure that it can be
addressed within the network. In this user manual, IP address
'192.168.0.123' is consistently used as an example.
IP Address
Structure
IP addresses always consist of four address groups. Each group is
separated from the next group by a period. Every IP address is
devided up into the network ID and the user ID. This division is
primarily determined by the network class.

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
Print Server Installation Manual 1-7
The following network classes can be distinguished:
Fig. 1-1: TCP/IP network classes
All IP addresses assigned in a logical network must belong to the
same class.
Example You have applied for a class C network ID and receive network ID
'192.168.0.' Due to the fact that user IDs '0' and '255' are reserved
for broadcast addresses, a valid IP address must lie somewhere
between '192.168.0.1' and '192.168.0.254', such as
'192.168.0.123.'
1.2.2. Methods of Saving the IP Address in the Print Server
If you use TCP/IP as the network protocol, the IP address must
first be saved in the print server, regardless of whether you are
using a Windows or UNIX network.
In this manual, the printer operating panel is always used for
saving the IP address. If your network uses boot protocols, they
should preferably be used to save the IP address. This guarantees a
network-wide, consistent IP address usage and eliminates a
potential source of errors.

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
1-8 Print Server Installation Manual
The following possibilities for saving the IP address are available:
DHCP
The BOOTP Boot Protocol
The RARP Boot Protocol
The 'arp' and 'ping' Commands
KyoNetCon
KYOCERA Printer Operating Panel
PRESCRIBE Commands for KYOCERA Printers
1.2.2.1. The BOOTP Boot Protocol
If your network uses the boot protocol BOOTP, the '/etc/bootptab'
file must be supplemented. This file is located on the host running
the BOOTP daemon. The '/etc/bootptab' file contains a permanent
copy of the allocation of the host name and the IP address to the
hardware address.
Requirements Make sure that:
!The 'BOOTP' parameter has been activated (see status page).
What Happens
When the Print
Server Is Turned
On?
Once the print server has been turned on, it asks the BOOTP for
the IP address and the host name. The answer of the BOOTP host
server, which contains the IP address, is sent as a data packet and
saved in the print server.
What Happens
When Printing?
During the installation of the print server, its host name is
displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing.
The computer finds the IP address of the print server by means of

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
Print Server Installation Manual 1-9
either the local 'etc/hosts' file or the DNS host. The print data can
then be sent to this IP address.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during
print server installation. If you have done this, you may then send
print data directly to the IP address.
1.2.2.2. The RARP Boot Protocol
If your network uses the RARP boot protocol, either the
'/etc/ethers' file or the '/etc/rarpd.cf' file must be supplemented.
The choice of which file to supplement depends on how the RARP
network service was implemented on your UNIX system. Please
read the section concerning 'rarpd' in your UNIX documentation if
necessary.
Both files are located on the host running the RARP daemon. The
files contain a permanent copy of the allocation of the host names
and the IP address to the hardware address.
Requirements Make sure that:
!The 'RARP' parameter has been activated (see status page).
What Happens
When the Print
Server Is Turned
On?
Once the print server has been turned on, it asks the RARP for the
IP address and the host name. The answer of the RARP host
server, which contains the IP address, is sent as a data packet and
saved in the print server.
What Happens
When Printing?
During the installation of the print server, its host name is
displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing.
The computer finds the IP address of the print server by means of

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
1-10 Print Server Installation Manual
either the local 'etc/hosts' file or the DNS host. The print data can
then be sent to this IP address.
You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during
the print server installation. If you have done this, you may then
send print data directly to the IP address.
1.2.2.3. The 'arp'and 'ping'Commands
Using the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save an IP address to
the print server in an easy, uncomplicated manner.
The 'arp' and 'ping' commands should be used for saving the IP
address only if your network does not use a specific IP address and
host name administration, such as DNS and WINS servers.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command sends a data packet with an IP address to the hardware
address of the print server. If the data packet has been successfully
sent and received, the print server permanently saves the IP
address.
The implementation of the 'ping' command depends on the system
used. Please read the relevant section in the documentation of your
operating system if necessary.
Requirements Make sure that:
!The 'ARP/PING' parameter has been activated (see status
page).

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
Print Server Installation Manual 1-11
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Edit the ARP table:
Syntax: arp -s <IP address> <hardware address>
Example: arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff
2. Assign a new IP address to the print server:
Syntax: ping <IP address>
Example: ping 192.168.0.123
Trouble Shooting The 'Addition failed' error occurs when you use the 'arp'
command. This error informs you that the ARP table is empty and
that the new entry cannot be added. This problem occurs with
certain operating systems such as all Microsoft Windows versions
with the exception of NT 4.0. The solution to the problem is to
ping a station in the network before using the 'arp' command for
the first time or use the KyoNetCon to enter the IP address.
1.2.2.4. KyoNetCon
Using the KyoNetCon the IP address can be easily assigned to the
print server.
Saving the IP address using the KyoNetCon in networks with
routers is only possible if the router can handle multicast queries
and the print servers are searched via multicast queries. For more
information read the "Searching for Print Servers" section on page
4-5 in the User Manual.
If the print server is connected to the printer and the printer is
turned on, the print server appears as 'New Print Server' with the
IP address 000.000.000.000 in the print server list. Via the shortcut
menu the desired IP address can be entered.

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
1-12 Print Server Installation Manual
For more information concerning the KyoNetCon read the
"InterCon-NetToolKyoNetConPRINTSERVER Administration
ToolNetLine - Administration ToolPRINTSERVER -
Administration Tool" chapter on page 4-1 in the User Manual.
Procedure Proceed as follows:
1. Start the KyoNetCon.
2. Right-click on the 'New Print Server' in the print server list.
3. Select 'Assign IP Address...' from the shortcut menu.
4. Enter the IP address in the 'IP address' box.
5. Click 'Finish.'
The IP address is saved in the print server.
1.2.2.5. KYOCERA Printer Operating Panel
With all KYOCERA printers, you can enter the IP address directly
into the printer operating panel and save it in the print server.
In addition to the IP address, you can also change other parameters
using the printer operating panel.
Please read the "Configuring Parameters Using the KYOCERA
Printer Operating Panel" section on page B-14 of the User Manual.
Operating panel settings will not be saved in the print server if a
password has been assigned.
