MICROSOFT WINDOWS
Overview
This chapter provides guidelines on how to print over the network
from various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous ways
of printing from Windows and the exact set-up will vary depending
upon your environment. There are also numerous versions of
Windows, which can be configured as either a client, server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of
network printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help with
all of their operating systems and this is a good reference point for the
exact details of each configuration option within Windows.
The network printer supports the following protocols that can be used
in conjunction with the Windows operating system:
>TCP/IP
>IPX(NovellNetWare)
>NetBEUI

Microsoft Windows 6
Installation of TCP/IP Protocol
There are a number of options available when printing using TCP/IP
for Windows. The following table lists the options:
1
These functions are built into Windows and are displayed as options when using the Add Printer Wizard.
Although there are some differences in configuration options
between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing
using TCP/IP is the same.
1. Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed in Windows.
This can be confirmed by checking the network settings from
within the Control Panel. If TCP/IP has not been installed refer to
the section below Installation of TCP/IP protocol.
2. If not already configured, a suitable IP address, Subnet Mask
and Gateway address should be configured. Please refer to the
on-line help if necessary. It is vital that the IP address entered is
unique and valid. Entering an incorrect IP address may cause
severe network problems. Please check the address with the
network administrator.
3. If your network environment uses domain names, DNS should
be enabled and configured on your system. However, this step is
not essential to enable network printing.
4. Restart the operating system.

Network printer IP address configuration
Use the Standard Set-up Utility to configure the IP Address, Subnet
Mask and Gateway.
Note: Some steps may not display depending on the network
protocols installed.
1. Connect the printer to the network and turn on.
2. Place the “Drivers” CD in the CD-ROM drive. The set-up utility
should start automatically. If the set-up utility does not start,
double-click on setup.exe in the Windows folder of the CD-ROM.

The Ethernet address of the printer can be found on the self-
diagnostic printout, which can be printed by pressing the push-button
on the network card panel for three seconds and then releasing it.
Do you use the TCP/IP protocol?

Microsoft Windows 10
When using lpr in UNIX and other TCP/IP environments, please select
[Yes]. To use in a TCP/IP environment, an IP address should be
assigned to the Ethernet board.
If [Yes] has been selected and TCP/IP is the only working protocol and
the IP address has not already been assigned, you can either obtain
an IP address automatically or assign an IP address.
When [Obtain an IP address automatically] is selected, the device IP
address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server. In an
environment without a DHCP server, please assign the IP address
manually.
If you are assigning an IP address, you need to enter:
> An IP address
>Submitmask
> Gateway address.
8. Click [Next].
Do you use the NetWare protocol?
9. Consult your network manager to ensure that the NetWare file
server is properly installed and working on the network. Make
sure that NetWare Client32 or IntranetWare Client is installed on
your computer.
On selecting [Yes] you will be asked if [You set-up the queue from
the Wizard]?
Do you use the EtherTalk protocol?
EtherTalk is the required protocol for printing data from the Macintosh
environment.
Do you use the NetBEUI protocol?
Using NetBEUI makes it easy to manage your equipment and print
within the network environment of Windows.

Microsoft Windows 11
10. Confirm your configuration. If everything is correct, select
[Execute] to apply the configuration. Set-up has now been
completed. Select [Finish].
Now that both Windows and the printer have been configured to use
TCP/IP, the next step is to configure Windows to print to the network
printer.
Windows 95/98/Me
When printing using TCP/IP the LPR utility is the only option to use.
The following procedure should be used.
When installing the driver, ensure it is installed as a local printer and
not a network printer. Ensure the appropriate printer driver has been
installed in Windows.

Microsoft Windows 12
Windows NT 4.0
With Windows NT 4.0, you have two options for printing using TCP/IP.
They are:

Novell Netware IPX 19
8. Install printer driver
NOVELL NETWARE IPX
IPX is used with Novell NetWare. The printer supports Novell 3, 4, 5
and 6, and allows print jobs to be directed to the appropriate Novell
print queue. Please refer to the relevant section of this manual for
additional information.
NetBEUI Protocol
NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups
or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing
between computers. It provides a simple method of printing but the
protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX.
Typically it is employed in small or home networks.
Network Printer Settings
There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer.
These can be configured using the standard set-up utility described in
Chapter 1.
1
Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remains as PrintServer.
Although there are some differences in configuration options
between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing
using NetBEUI is the same.
Please ensure the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows.
This can be confirmed by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI
has not been installed please refer to the section below.
The relevant Windows installation CD-ROM may be required and you
should follow the on-screen dialogue box prompts.
