Introduction
The OkiLAN Internal Print Server is a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
network interface.
This network print server supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3,
Ethernet-II and SNAP and can detect those frame types
automatically.
Also, it supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX
(NetWare), EtherTalk and NetBEUI.
This section details the specification and several software utilities.
For multiple emulation printers, change the emulation in the
Printer Menu settings to Auto or PS before printing the
self-diagnostic test and settings.

Using Quick Setup
Quick Setup utility allows you to configure the print server easily
and simply without installing any software packages.
You can configure the following:
> Enable/disable TCP/IP, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI
protocols.
> Set IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for TCP/IP
manually or by using DHCP.
> Set NetWare mode and create Queue/Print Server/Printer
objects.
> Zone name and Port name for EtherTalk.
Configuration requires a PC with Windows 95/98/Me, Windows
2000 Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/
Work-station 4.0, Windows XP running TCP/IP or IPX/SPX
(NetWare).
This utility can only be used on a PC that can be connected to the
network with TCP/IP or IPX/ SPX.
This utility must be used on a PC that is located in the same
segment as the printer. To create a NetWare queue, NetWare
Client 32 or IntranetWare Client should be installed in your system.
The following explanation uses Windows 98 as an example.
1. Insert the CD-ROM provided with your printer into the
CD-ROM drive. If the Menu Installer does not start
automatically, click Start →Run →Browse. Browse to your
CD-ROM and click Install →Open →OK.

> The NetWare Client 32 or IntranetWare Client should be
installed on the PC used for the creation of network queues.
Installation enables the user to create network queues and
perform other functions.
8. If the settings are correct, click [Execute]. The new settings
are transmitted to the network card but the network card is
still operating with pre-transmission settings.
9. Click [Finish] to validate the new settings. Depending on the
model, the printer may have to be switched off and on
again.

Using a Web browser
If the print server is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its
settings and the printer menu settings can be configured using a
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 and
higher, or Netscape Navigator version 4.0 and higher. No
guarantees are offered for other browsers. Refer to the relevant
manuals for details of how to launch and use the browser.
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples
only. Network addresses used in your installation must be
generated from your own network. To apply configuration changes
using a Web browser, you will be prompted for a username and
password.The username is [root] and the default password is the
last six digits of the Ethernet address.
The following explanation uses Windows 95 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 4.0 as an example.
1. Configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the
network card. Launch the Web browser, enter the IP Address
of the network interface card in [Address (Location/
Position)] and press the [Enter] key. The Printer Status
screen is displayed.
