name of the print server, the hardware address, and the serial and
version numbers.
The text which you previously entered under 'Configuration -
General' will now appear under 'Description'. A description can be
used to gain a better overview of the print servers and printers in
the system. Here, you can enter a printer description or the
location of the printer, for example.
2.2.2 Printer Port Status
The 'Printer Port' page displays details about the printer, such as
the printer model or the manufacturer. In addition, printer status
messages, such as offline, are displayed. For more information,
please read the "Printer Status Messages" chapter.

Print Server Configuration
BaseLine Print Server User Manual 2-7
2.3.1 General Configuration
The 'General' page is used for configuring general print server
parameters.
Under 'Description', you can enter a description of the print server
or printer to gain a better overview of the print servers and printers
in the system.
Under 'Status page mode', you can determine the data format in
which the status page will be printed. The auto mode
automatically searches for a suitable data format. ASCII,
PostScript, or DATAMAX (label printer) can also be selected
manually.
'Print server language' refers to the language of the print server.
Here, you can select the language in which the print server will
print its status and configuration information. This will not affect
the printer language.
'Ethernet settings' is used for setting the speed at which other
network components, such as switches or hubs will function. If the
value is set to 'Auto', the speed will be recognized automatically.
If you set the speed manually, the speed must correspond to the
speed of the other network components. It is not possible to
operate the print server with full duplex if the hub works with half
duplex.
'HP JetAdmin compatible' enables or disables the HP JetAdmin
and HP WebJetAdmin support. The printer can then be
administered via the HP utilities.

Print Server Configuration
2-8 BaseLine Print Server User Manual
'EPSON Status Monitor support' enables or disables the support of
the EPSON Status Monitor. If the parameter has been enabled,
printer status messages, such as display of ink level, are displayed.
If an EPSON printer is used with a print server, the parameter
should be enabled. You should disable the parameter if a printer of
a different manufacturer or an EPSON printer together with a RIP
is used.
'Job receive timeout (seconds)' specifies the time out value (in
seconds) for receiving print jobs. If the spooler does not send any
print job within the timeout period, the connection between the
print server and the spooler will be interrupted. If the value is set
to '0', this function is disabled. If you want to use the timeout
option, we recommend using the value '120'.
2.3.2 Configuring the Printer Port
'Fast mode' activates or deactivates the fast mode of box or pocket
print servers. Using the fast mode, the print server speed can be
increased. With older printer models, we recommend disabling the
fast mode.
'Port mode' specifies the communication between the print server
and the printer. You can select unidirectional or bidirectional
communication or the Konica Minolta GDI printing support.
2.3.3 Configuring TCP/IP
The 'TCP/IP' page is used for configuring the TCP/IP parameters.

Print Server Configuration
BaseLine Print Server User Manual 2-9
Via 'TCP/IP', you can disable TCP/IP completely.
Using 'IP address,' ' Subnet mask,' and 'Gateway,' you can
configure the relevant addresses.
In addition, you can enter a host name, the printer location, and a
contact partner for the printer.
Under 'DHCP', 'ARP/PING' and 'ZeroConf', you can enable or
disable all the different ways of saving the IP address in the print
server. We recommend that you deselect this box when the IP
address is finally assigned to the print server.
2.3.4 Configuring Microsoft Windows
The 'Microsoft Windows' page is used for configuring the
NetBIOS and WINS parameters.
Peer-to-peer printing is enabled or disabled via 'NetBIOS'.
The print server name is entered under 'NetBIOS name'.
The name of an existing domain has to be entered under 'NetBIOS
domain'. The print server will then be displayed in this domain.
'NetBIOS refresh' indicates the refresh time.
Using 'WINS registration', you can enable or disable the WINS
services.
If you have enabled 'WINS via DHCP', you can enter the IP
address of the WINS server via DHCP. If you have not enabled

Print Server Configuration
2-10 BaseLine Print Server User Manual
'WINS via DHCP', you can enter the IP address of the WINS
server manually.

parameters can only be changed using the password.
