• Automatic selection of 10Base2 (Thinnet), or, automatic selection of 100BaseT Fast
Ethernet connection or 10BaseT Ethernet connection (for Ethernet cards with both
type of connections).
• Token Ring interface connection - Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded
Twisted Pair (STP) (for Token Ring cards).
• Fully transparent AppleTalk printing support for the Macintosh, including support
for binary PostScript printing.
• Peer-to-Peer (serverless) discovery and printing from Windows 95/98 or Windows
NT (4.0 or higher) workstations, without a Novell file server present and without
using IP.
• Novell NetWare PSERVER on both bindery based and Novell Directory Services
(NDS).
• lpr/lpd over TCP/IP for UNIX platforms and Microsoft's Windows.
• Raw sockets support over selectable TCP/IP port with filters for selected UNIX
environments.
• IP and IPX SNMP support of MIB-2 and DPI proprietary NIC MIB.
• SNMP support of standard MIB and proprietary printer MIBs on compatible print-
ers.
• Integral HTTP Server to allow monitoring and management of your Print Server
Card from a standard IP Web Browser program.
• Management Access Program (MAP) to allow Windows-based HTML viewing for
monitoring and management of your Print Server Card.
• FTP printing to allow users to print directly from their IP browser or other FTP cli-
ent.

Installing the Print Server Card
2.1 Preparing the Printer
If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you
begin. This will give you detailed information on the identification and configuration
of your printer, as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating.
If you are installing an Ethernet Print Server Card, continue to step 1. If you're install-
ing a Token Ring board, you must first set the speed to the same setting as the Token
Ring adapter cards on your network. Refer to Section 2.2 Token Ring Jumper Selec-
tion, for details.
Warning: If you are installing a Token Ring card, you must set the network speed now.
Changes made after start-up or after you power up the Print Server Card will
not be implemented and may cause problems. If you do not set the speed to
match the speed of other Token Ring adapter cards on the network, all traffic
on the network will come to a halt.
1. Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to see that paper is in the
paper tray and toner cartridge is full. If the printer handles multiple printer lan-
guages, make sure it is set up for automatic emulation sensing or PCL or ASCII
mode.
2. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.
3. Install the Print Server Card in the option port, according to the printer manufac-
turer instructions.
Note: Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices: The Print Server Card is
designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures,
however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment.

2.2 Token Ring Jumper Selection
This section is for Token Ring installations only. Go to Section 2.3 if you are installing
the Ethernet Print Server card.
The Token Ring speed is selected by the position of jumper 12 (JP12) on the Print
Server Card. The factory default position
for the jumper is across pins 2-3, selecting
16Mbps
. If this is the speed that your network uses, then you do not need to do any-
thing. If you need to change the speed to 4Mbps, you must reposition the jumper
across pins 1-2. Follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure you remove the power cord from the printer.
2. Locate Jumper JP12 on the Print Server Card.
3. Once you locate Jumper JP12, move the jumper to between pins 1-2. This changes
the speed setting to 4Mbps.
4. Install the Print Server Card in the option port, according to the printer manufac-
turer instructions.
Note: Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices: The Print Server Card is
designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures,
however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment.

2.3 Connect the Network to Print Server Card: Ethernet
You can connect your Ethernet network in one of two ways:
1. Using the 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet interface . This network connection
uses a 4-wire RJ cable to plug into the RJ45 network connector on the Print
Server Card.
Note: The Print Server Card automatically determines which type of network connec-
tion you are making; 100BaseT, 10BaseT or 10Base2. However, some older
10BaseT hubs may not support auto-detection of 10BaseT versus 10Base2. If this
occurs, you may be required to change a jumper from automatic to manual selec-
tion. See Appendix A for details.
2. Using a Thinnet Ethernet interface .Your Print Server Card may include a BNC
connector for 10Base2 or Thinnet connection. The Thinnet Ethernet wire uses a
BNC T-connector to plug into the BNC port on the Print Server Card (marked
Thinnet on the bracket). This Ethernet cable is 1/4-inch coaxial cable (usually
RG-58/U) that uses the cylindrical BNC T-connector to attach to the BNC port.
Once you make the connection, continue to 2.5 Powering Up the Printer,

2.4 Connect the Network to Print Server Card:Token
Ring
You can connect your Token Ring network in one of two ways:
1. Using the Token Ring Unshielded Twisted Pair/Type 3 (UTP) interface . The
UTP network connection uses a 4-wire twisted pair RJ cable to plug into the RJ45
network connector (marked UTP on the bracket). Once you make the connection,
continue to configure the Print Server Card and the network for the appropriate
protocols.
Warning: It is recommended that you DO NOT use the medial filters when making your
connection with the UTP cable. When you are wired for UTP, use a straight-
through twisted pair standard UTP cable connecting it directly to the UTP plug
on the Print Server Card.
Once you make the connection, continue to 2.5 Powering Up the Printer,

Hardware Installation-5
2.5 Powering Up the Printer
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up. The printer may print out a
status or start-up page (if this option is not disabled). The Print Server Card then
provides a print job to the printer which contains the Print Server Card status
information. Refer to 8.2 Status Report, for more information.
3. Check the Print Server Card status report. Record the serial number and the Net-
work address or save the status report.You need this information when you con-
figure the printer for your network.
Go to one or more of the appropriate chapters for instructions on configuring the net-
work for the Print Server Card.
