How To Access The HTTP Server With An IP Browser

Use the following procedure to access the HTTP (HyperText Transfer
Protocol) with your favorite IP Browser, such as Netscape. This access
allows you to perform all print server functions.
Option: If you have the MAP (Konica Management Access Program) Utility,
use instructions on p. 3-7. MAP gives you access to the Konica Network
Management Utility, which allows you to perform all print server functions.
If you do not have the MAP Utility, perform the following steps:
1. Assign an IP address to the KN-301.

See instructions for Assigning IP Address, starting on p. 5-5.
2. Start the IP Browser you normally use.
3. When the browser is up and running, type http:// followed by the

IP address of the unit in the Location field at the top of the browser
screen, or by going to File at the menu bar and choosing Open
Location.
Example: For a unit with an IP address of 199.9.200.200, type:
http://199.9.200.200
At this point, the IP Browser works the same as the Konica MAP Utility (see
Network Setup screen on p. 3-8.

Using Konica Network Management Utility
Overview
The Konica Network Management Utility is a Windows based HyperText
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) utility that enables you to configure network
protocols for the KN-301 print server; remotely reset the KN-301 print server
to clear an error or to return the print server to factory settings; troubleshoot
problems; enable/disable the status sheet printout; and access context-
sensitive Help.
While the Konica Network Management Utility can be accessed with any
browser, such as Netscape, you can also use the MAP (Konica Management
Access Program) Utility to access and configure the KN-301. The MAP
Utility automatically installs when you install the Konica Network Manage-
ment Utility CD-ROM.
If you have not already done so, install the Konica Network Management
Utility program using the installation procedure on p. 2-6.
NOTE: The Konica Network Management Utility CANNOT be installed from DOS.
Using MAP (Management Access Program)
The MAP utility consists of the MAP Setup program and the MAP program.
(See sample screens on next page.)
MAP Setup Program

The MAP Setup program allows you to configure the MAP program to
search for IP or IPX based printers.
You may also configure the maximum number of hops for the IP searches.
The hop count number determines how many sub-networks the program will
search to find the print server units. An entry of zero [0] on the screen
searches only the current subnet. An entry of [2] searches a wire that is
directly connected to the workstation and all networks accessible through
two routers. An entry of 15 or higher automatically searches every con-
nected network; but such a high number is not recommended due to the
amount of traffic it would generate.
MAP Program
The MAP program lets you utilize the default browser for viewing and
changing the Print Server configuration settings. To do so, click on any
active KN-301 Print Server unit (see next page).

After clicking on any one of the active KN-301 Print Server units listed in the
MAP Program, the Network Setup screen displays (see next page) to allow
you to select any function related to the printer system. (See APPENDIX A
for a full description of the resident HTTP Server).
NOTE: Menus and function items are explained in Using The MAP Utility (see p. 3-9) .

Select the Network Setup button on the left of the Main Screen to display
the Network Setup screen, which allows the selection of functions related to
the KN-301 Print Server.
The MAP Network Setup allows you to access the Konica program and use
the functions relating to the System, Protocols and Printer. Simply click on
the menu item you require, and the easy-to-use screens will guide you
through each procedure.
The bottom of your screen displays Home and Unit Info. Clicking on Home
gets you back to the basic menu. Clicking on Unit Info displays the current
Ethernet option associated with this Printer Server.
To learn more about using the MAP Utility, see Using the MAP Utility which
begins on the next page.
To configure the KN-301 Print Server for use with NetWare, see Configure
KN-301 for Use With Novell NetWare p. 3-21.
NOTE: You will be required to enter a password to perform most of the functions.
The default password is sysadm. It is case-sensitive and must be entered in lowercase.

System Functions
System Functions allow you to reset the unit when an error condition
occurs; reset the unit to download a new version of the print server soft-
ware; return the unit to its factory defaults before configuring; check the
unit status on Novell NetWare, TCP/IP, or AppleTalk protocols; update the
Ethernet network; change the password assigned to the unit.
Reset
Two functions are available: Reset Unit lets you reset the print server to
clear an error condition that is preventing you from printing. Reset simply
recycles the unit and leaves all current print server settings intact. Typical
error conditions that would require resetting the unit include the situation
where the printer port does not accept data for a print job, or the printer is
printing codes instead of the desired text. When you reset the unit, you may
need to recycle the printer power Off, then On again to correct the problem.
Reset the Unit for Download lets you reset the print server in to download
mode to enable you to update the unit's flash read-only memory (ROM) with
a new or updated software release. A software release normally includes new
features or fixes for the print server.
Factory Defaults
This function resets the print server to the factory default settings that came
with the unit. This feature is useful in the event you are moving the print
server to a new location, or if the unit was set up improperly and you need to
start over again. Remember that this option clears any settings already
defined for the print server.
Unit Status
The Unit Status screen displays the current state for each protocol and print
server port available on your print server model. For each supported
protocol (Novell NetWare, TCP/IP, AppleTalk), the top line displays the
protocols supported and indicates whether the protocol is currently enabled
or disabled.

System Functions
Unit Status
Novell NetWare
For Novell NetWare, the file server status for each print server post is
displayed as explained in the following field descriptions:
File Server: The name of the file server(s) to which the print server is
connected.
File Server Status: These status messages inform you of whether the server
is connected or disconnected to the print server. It also lets you know when
the server is shutting down its connection to the print server.
Queue Name: The queue name assigned to the print server printer port.
Queue Status: This field displays the status of the queues servicing the print
server printers. If there is a problem printing, e.g., the queue is not available,
the problem will be listed here.

and host portions of the address.
Default Gateway Address (if needed): This address is used if the routers on
your network have a default gateway address that needs to be listed for
accessing the print server printers.
Base Port Number: The base number assigned to the print server port. For
example, port [1] would be 100001.
DHCP: DHCP displays on the screen whether the function is On or Off.

When DHCP is On, the KN-301automatically obtains the IP address from the
DHCP Server.
IP Address in NVRAM: This displays on the screen whether or not the IP

Address is to be retained between power cycles.
Banner: This displays whether the banner page option is turned On or Off.
The LPD settings are displayed for each print server port. This information
includes the type of print jobs supported for each print server printer. For
example, if PCL and PS are displayed, this means that the printer supports
PCL and PS compatible print jobs.
AppleTalk
The print server unit name and the AppleTalk zone in which the print server
resides are displayed. The name will either be the default name
KN3_(serial_number) or a user-defined name. The Port Status has a default
assigned printer name of Unit # (serial_number) 1. You cannot print to any
printer with a disabled port status.
System Functions
Network Address
Important: This field is for display only.
The network address screen displays the print server unit serial number and
the Ethernet address for the unit.

Configure KN-301 For Use With Novell NetWare
Overview
Basically, the configuration function tells the Print Server which printers it is
supporting. Configuration procedures are performed using the PCONSOLE
utility. To use the PCONSOLE utility, you must have supervisor privileges.
Make sure your PCONSOLE version is not version 1.0, as the KN-301 cannot
be configured with version 1.0. Contact Novell if you need to upgrade your
version of PCONSOLE.
• To configure the KN-301 for use with NetWare 4.x NetWare

Directory Services, see p. 3-36.
• To configure the KN-301 for use with NetWare 4.x Bindery

Emulation, see p. 3-49.
• To configure the KN-301 for use with NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x,
see procedure starting on the next page. Configuration on
NetWare 2.15 or 3.1x requires the following basic steps:
1. Login to the network as Supervisor.
2. Start PCONSOLE.
3. Create a Print Queue to be serviced by the KN-301 (see next page).

This step may be skipped if you intend to use an already existing queue.
4. Create a new print server and enter the KN-301 print server name.
5. Configure the KN-301 print server.
6. Assign print queues to the KN-301 printer.
7. Set up the NOTIFY options for the KN-301 printer (optional).
Repeat the procedure for other file servers. When you are finished,
turn the printer off and on again. The printer creates a status report
that indicates the file servers to which the unit is attached and the
queues which it services.
See the detailed procedure starting on the next page.

Configure Using NetWare 4.x NetWare Directory Services
Overview
NetWare Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced

approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Gener-
ally, it stores and tracks all network objects.
As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this
way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services
named Directory objects, such as printers, print servers and print queues.
With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which,
once configured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates the
cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server.
NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network

database rather than on individually defined physical sites. The result is
greatly improved print server setup and management.
NetWare 4.x also provides backward compatibility for 2.x, 3.x and 4.x print
service in Bindery emulation.
The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about

servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc., and is a distributed
database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is
stored.
NetWare versions prior to 4.x provide the same data found in the DIB but the
data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. DIB was designed with more flexible
access, more specific security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to
be partitioned.
The Directory uses an object-oriented structure rather than the flat-file

structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather than
server-oriented access found in the Bindery.
The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through

Bindery emulation mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory
Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery
existed on the NetWare server being accessed.

Overview (continued)
Information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server,
since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though
the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications
making Bindery requests will not know the difference.
The Konica Network Management Utility program provided with the KN-301
is used to configure the context of the KN-301 Print Server.
Novell NWADMIN
The Novell NWADMIN (NetWare Administration) program is used to create

the directory tree, print server, printer and print queue objects within the
tree. See procedure on p. 3-43.
Snap-in support for the NetWare administrator (NWADMIN) utility is

provided for the print server. This offers a single point of control for
Administrators for NetWare Directory Services (NDS).
NWADMIN lets administrators manage the print server from a central

location.

The NetWare Configuration Menu shown above is for your reference while
configuring NetWare Directory Services. The procedure starts on the next
page.


Follow the steps below to complete the configuration procedure using the
Konica Network Management Utility:
1. If you have not already done so, install the Konica Network Management
Utility on your system (see Installing the Konica Network Management
Utility, p. 2-6). Make sure the Konica Printing system is powered up and
connected to the network.
2. Start the Konica MAP utility at a Windows workstation.

The “WELCOME” screen displays (see p. 3-35).
3. Select the KN-301 device you want to configure.
The displayed KN-301 device names are KN3_<serial Number>.
NOTE: The serial number is the 6-digit number located on the label attached
to the KN-301 circuit board.
To display detailed information about the individual KN-301 device(s), select

“Options” from the Network Setup menu and then select “Show All”).
The selected KN-301 unit’s Network Setup menu appears. See p. 3-36.
4. Under the “Protocols” section of the Network Setup menu, click on

“Setup NetWare.” The NetWare Configuration Menu displays.
Refer to the menu screen illustration shown on the previous page, as you
follow the steps shown below.
5. Make sure that the “Enable Netware” checkbox is checked. X

6. To change the default Novell Print Server name from “KN3_<serial
number> to a more descriptive name, edit the “Print Server Name” field. This
name must match the Novell Print Server Object Name you will define when
creating the object with NWADMIN or PCONSOLE.
7. Leave “Print Server Password” and “Password Retype” fields blank,

unless you plan to assign a password to the Novell Print Server. The
password entered here must match the password you define when creating
the print server object in NWADMIN or PCONSOLE.

8. In the “Preferred File Server:” field, enter the name of the Preferred File
Server that you want the KN-301 Print Server to attach to first. This
operation, in conjunction with listing all the file servers to be serviced on
this preferred file server, lets you connect directly to the file servers of
choice rather than having the KN-301 search for all file servers it is to service
(which may take a long time).
9. In the “Preferred NDS Context:” field, enter the preferred NDS context. The
Preferred NDS Context refers only to the context name, whether typed or
non-typed. Do not begin the context path with a trailing period (.). You do
not need to write a container name (KN-301 Print Server Name) because it
was provided in the field above. See example below:
ou=standard.o=organization_1 (KONICA)
10. In the “Preferred NDS Tree” field, enter the preferred NDS tree name. If
you don’t know what the tree name is, type WHOAMI at the DOS prompt.
11. The “Print Queue Scan Rate” lets you select how often the KN-301 polls
the Novell Netware queues to see if any new print jobs need to be serviced.
The default is one (1) second. Enter in the “Print Queue Scan Rate” field a
value between 1 and 255 seconds.
12. Select the “Ethernet Frame Type:” you want the KN-301 to use. If you
select Auto-Sense, the correct frame type is automatically selected.
13. Click on the “Disable Bindery:” checkbox if you want to disable Bindery
Services. Bindery services is disabled if the checkbox is marked. When you
disable Bindery Services, the KN-301 will not support any of the print
servers on any Bindery file servers.
14. After completing the above steps, enter the password in the password
field, using lowercase letters, then click on “Accept Settings" to store the
new configuration settings in the KN-301’s nonvolatile memory.
NOTE: The default password is “sysadm.”
These changes will not take effect until you power down the Konica Printing
System, and then power it back on.

Using the NWADMIN Utility

See the steps below to complete the NWADMIN configuration. You will
create printer, print server and print queue objects; and assign, or associate,
those objects with each other. You can keep Bindery resources on any
server under NetWare 4.x by declaring a SET statement in your
AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
As an alternative to NWADMIN, NetWare offers PCONSOLE for those who

prefer it. PCONSOLE can be used to set up static information about print
servers such as, which queues to service, and whom to notify in the event of
a problem. See Novell NetWare documentation for more information about
the use of PCONSOLE for NDS.

Configure Using NetWare 4.x Bindery Emulation
Overview
Novell’s NetWare 4.0x can operate in the Bindery Services Emulation mode
and NetWare Directory Services (NDS) mode (see NetWare Directory
Services to configure the print server in this mode).
While Bindery Emulation services and NDS services run simultaneously and
transparently to each other, the print server may be configured to operate
with Bindery Services mode only, as described in this section; or with NDS
only. When configured under NDS, the print server will also service older file
servers operating in bindery mode.
NOTE: If the Bindery Services mode is not running, the print server will be unable to
find its file servers, and the status page will indicate that the Novell NetWare protocol is
not active.
Before installing the print server on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery
Emulation mode, first check to be sure the server has Bindery Context by
using the Confirming Bindery Context procedure on the next page.
If the server does not have Bindery Context, the Novell administrator must
execute either a SET command from the console prompt, or, modify the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file to include the proper SET command and restart the
server.
NOTE: The command entered from the console prompt takes effect immediately,
whereas, the definition in the autoexec file takes effect only when the server is shut
down and then restarted.

Using PCONSOLE
Confirming Bindery Context
Perform the following steps to determine if the server has Bindery Context:
1. Login to the server as ADMIN.
2. At the prompt, perform a DOS TYPE of Z:\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF.
3. When the file displays, look to see if you have a statement similar to
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=O=<Name>
Where =O=<Name> is a sample name for the file server context.

Use your own file server context in place of =O=<Name>.
<Name> is the designation for the Server Context, and is obtained by

starting PCONSOLE. The Server Context name is displayed in the upper left
corner of the Available Options menu screen. .
4. If no such name statement in on the screen, you must add that statement
to enable the KN-301 to work. In that case, exit from PCONSOLE and use a
DOS text editor to add the following statement to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT =O=KONICA_CORP
5. After adding the statement to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, you must power
down the server and restart it for the changes to take effect.
Or, as an alternative method, the network administrator can type the SET
command at the Server console to make changes immediately. In this case,
any changes will be in effect until the server is powered down and re-
started again.
Important: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately,

whereas, the definition in the autoexec file takes effect only when the server
is shut down and then restarted.

Using PCONSOLE
Once you confirm the server has Bindery Context, you can configure the
KN-301 using the PCONSOLE procedure shown below. Use the function
keys located at the bottom of the screen to configure the KN-301.
Configuring NetWare 4.0x Bindery Emulation requires the following steps:
1. Start PCONSOLE.
2. Select Bindery Mode.
3. Select Quick Setup option.
4. Enter the print server, printer, and queue names.
5. Enter the printer TYPE name.
6. Add to the print server and queue lists.

Primary File Server
When To Define A Primary File Server
The procedure for defining a primary file server starts on the next page. A
primary file server should be defined only if you have a very large network
tied into many different sites with several file servers. This procedure is
performed with the PCONSOLE utility in the File Servers To Be Serviced
option, details of which start on the next page.
If you do not wish to define a primary file server, go directly to the

PCONSOLE configuration procedure for your particular NetWare version.
The following information describes the effect on your system when a

primary file server is defined and not defined.
When a primary file server is defined -

• File servers require no more than a 1/4 second propagation delay.
• Minimum of two file servers can be placed on the file server list.
• The KN-301 searches for the primary server, starting with the
servers that are closest (0 hops), and works its way outward to a
maximum of four hops.
When the KN-301 finds a primary file server, the print server -
• Stops searching for other servers
• Reads the list of servers in NetWare’s PCONSOLE
• Attempts to attach to every server on the list, wherever located.
When a primary file server is not defined -

• File servers require no more that a 1/4 second propagation delay
• The KN-301 has a maximum limit of 16 file servers
• The KN-301 searches for file servers that are four hops or less
away. The four hops that KN-301 searches are the four LAN
segments directly connected to the first workstation or server.
NOTES:
1. The propagation delay is the time it takes for a packet of data to go from the file
server to the KN-301 unit.
2. A hop is a step in the data transmission from one node (a workstation or server)
through an intermediate node.

Section 5: UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP
Overview
The following pages explain how to configure the Konica Print Server and
your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various environments.
Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows

systems and for most popular UNIX systems.
The Konica Print Server TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr
spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that
communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port.
This port number defaults to 10001, but may be changed to any desired
number using the Konica Network Management Utility.
You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for delivering IP

addresses to hosts through an IP network.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for network

management services.
SNMP is supported for Management Information Base (MIB) II over IP for

the print servers. This support allows you to query MIB II to get system
information about the print server.
Installation in a Windows Environment
Several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be used on

NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as on native Microsoft Windows
network. This flexibility allows various options for setting up the network
printing system even though this Konica Print Server does not support
Netbeui.
• If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare network,

configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard Windows/
NetWare utilities to provide access to the printer.
• If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/
IP. This section describes installation under Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95, and Windows NT.
5-2 UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP

Windows for Workgroups
UNIX Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP
capability; or that the workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT
server (for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not shared, an
lpr queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is
initiated. See Windows documentation about sharing printers.
Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/IP. However,
various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups
workstations, including a free TCP/ IP stack provided by Microsoft. Third
party lpr spoolers are available.
The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP stack and a
shareware lpr application that is available from various sources, including
the Konica Print Server manufacturer.
• You will need files WFWTCP32.zip and WFWTCP32.txt for TCP/IP, and
files WLPRS41.zip and wlprspl.txt for lpr.
• You will need the BOOTPL.exe file if you wish to use the BOOTP Lite
program to set up IP parameters. The BOOTPL.exe file is located on the
Konica Network Management Utility CDROM.
• WFWTCP32.zip, WLPRS41.zip, and BOOTPL.exe are both available for

downloading from the Konica WEB server located at: http://
www.kbm.com.
UNIX Printing Through TCP/IP 5-3

Installing TCP/IP
To set up TCP/IP on the workstations, follow the instructions in the text file
for the TCP/IP stack. These instructions are part of the self-exploding files
that you downloaded from the Web site. They are the copyright of Microsoft
and cannot be included here.
Loading the lpr Spooler
The Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 (wlprspl.txt), provides detailed

instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler.
Setting Up The Konica Print Server
The Konica Print Server must be given an IP address and routing informa-
tion before being used with TCP/IP.
This can be accomplished with Konica Printer Management for Windows if

you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with Apple Administra-
tion Program for Macintosh if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network.
Follow the instructions for these programs provided in Section 3 or Section
4 (see Note).
NOTE: If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the BOOTP Lite program
described on p. 5-5 or the ARP procedure described on p. 5- 6.
Procedure prior to running these programs:
1. Install the Konica Print Server in your printer.
2. Power -up the printer.
3. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address.
It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the Protocol address is not
configured.
NOTE: If the unit already has an IP address, the IP Address procedures on the following
pages will not be required.

Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite
This procedure uses the BOOTP protocol. The Konica Print Server must be
on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to
configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
The BOOTPL.exe program works with a 16 Bit TCP/IP Stack (FTP,

NetManage, B&W, or WFWG).
1. Reset the print server.
NOTE: The BOOTP request is for a finite period of time. The print server must be freshly
reset for this to work.
2. From Program Manager under File, select Run \windows\ BOOTPL.exe.
3. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.
4. Enter the IP address (you want to assign to the Konica Print Server);
the Subnet Mask ( matching what you are using on your subnet); the
Default Gateway (your router's IP address); the MAC address of the
Konica Print Server (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as
Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet
rather than the dashes that Windows uses.
5. Click on Go. You will get a message that the program is Verifying, and
then it will tell you whether the unit is active or not.
6. Wait for about five minutes for the Konica Print Server to reset. The
Status sheet should report the newly entered IP information.
7. Enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
ping [IP address of Konica Print Server]
Continue until you get a reply. If you get no response, verify that TCP/IP is
enabled on the status sheet. If the IP information is not displayed on the
sheet, then repeat the above procedure.

Assigning IP Address with ARP
Use the following procedure to use ARP to configure the IP address.
1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box.
2. At the command prompt enter:
(a) ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server].
The identified unit should reply. If you do not ping the network, the
arp cache will be empty (no static entries), and you will receive an
error 2 message (after performing the next step).
(b) arp -s [IP address of Konica Print Server]

[MAC Address of Konica Print Server]
The entry should be accepted. You will receive an error 3 message
if Konica's Remote Access Software (RAS) is installed.
(c) ping [IP address of Konica Print Server].

The request should time out.
3. Recycle the power on the print server. The Konica Print Server will
produce a status page that should include the entered IP address.
4. When the Konica Print Server is up again, type the following at the
command prompt:
(a) ping [IP address of Konica Print Server]

Continue until you get a reply.
NOTE: This only enters the IP address. You must use the Konica Network Management
Utility to enter the other IP parameters.

Creating an lpr Queue on the Workstation
Once you install the spooler onto the workstation, the setup program will
create a group and icon.
1. Double click on the spooler icon.
2. Click on setup, and define a new queue.
3. At the Remote Host Name prompt, enter the Konica Print Server IP
Address, and enter PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name.
4. Go to Control Panel, Printers, and choose Connect.
5. Select your driver and click on Next.

At this point, you should see an entry for your Windows lpr Spooler's
printer in the “Available ports” listing. For example:
C:\SPOOL\PRINTER_NAME.

Microsoft Windows 95
Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client
also requires an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources.
The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be
created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95
workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an Windows NT server
on the network.
The following instructions are based on a shareware lpr application that is

available from various sources, including the Konica Print Server manufac-
turer. You will need the wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr.
If you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program, you will also need the
ntBOOTP.exe file. The ntBOOTP.exe files provided on the Konica
Network Management Utility CDROM. ntBOOTP.exe and WLPRS41.zip
are also available for downloading from the Konica WEB server located at
http://www.kbm.com.
Loading the lpr Spooler

Use ntBootp instead of ARP to configure the IP address.
You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to the Konica Print
Server on 32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT & Windows 95) using the
ntBOOTP.exe program. You must store the file in the Windows directory.
2. From Program Manager under File, select Run ntBOOTP.exe.
4. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the Konica Print Server,
its Subnet Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet),
Default Gateway (your router's IP address), and the MAC address of the
rather than the dashes Windows uses.
5. Click on Go.
6. Wait about five minutes. The Konica Print Server should recycle and
produce a status sheet showing the IP parameters you have just entered.
7. Pull down the Admin menu to Verify. You should get a message back
stating that the Unit is Active. If you do not get this message, verify that
TCP/IP is enabled on the status sheet.
8. When you get a response that your unit is active, you should be able to
ping the Konica Print Server.

Assigning IP Address With ARP

1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
(a) ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server].
The identified unit should reply.
(b) arp -s [IP address of Konica Print Server] and [MAC Address].
The entry should be accepted.
(c) ping [IP address of the Konica Print Server].
Request should time out.
2. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the Konica Print Server reset
itself. The Konica Print Server will produce a status page that should
include the entered IP address.
3. When the Konica Print Server is up again, at the command prompt, enter:
NOTE: This only enters the IP address. Use the ntBOOTP Program or any standard Internet
Web Browser to change the IP parameters.
Setting up lpr on the Workstation
Once the spooler is installed on the workstation, the setup program will
create a group and icon.
1. Double click on the spooler icon.

2. Click on setup, and define a new queue.
3. For Remote Host Name, enter the IP Address; for Remote Printer Name,
enter PORT1. You should be able to print via the spooler.
4. Go to Settings.
5. Select Printers.
6. Choose Add Printer.
7. Click on Next.
8. Select your driver, and click on Next.
At this point, you should see an entry for your Windows lpr Spooler's printer
in the “Available ports” listing displayed as, for example:
C:\SPOOL\PRINTER_NAME

Windows NT Instructions
Windows NT (version 3.5 or higher) comes with TCP/IP and lpr capabili-
ties, although these must be installed when the unit is configured. You must
install the TCP/IP Protocol, Simple TCP/IP Services, and Microsoft TCP/IP
UNIX Printing prior to entering the network printer on the workstation.
NOTE: Once you have lpr installed on a Windows NT Server workstation

and have allowed printer sharing, other workstations may use the printer
through the Microsoft Windows Network without having to have separate
lpr queues installed on each workstation.
Setting Up the Konica Print Server
tion before being used with TCP/IP.
This can be done with Konica Network Management Utility for Windows if
you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with Apple Administra-
tion Program for Macintosh if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network.
If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ntBOOTP program
or the ARP procedure. To use ntBOOTP, you will need the ntBOOTP.exe
file. This file is on the Konica Network Management Utility for Windows
CDROM supplied with the Konica Print Server, and can be downloaded
from Konica's WEB Server located at the following address:
http://www.konicabt.com
2. Power up the printer.
NOTE: Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that
TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not configured. If the unit already has an
IP address, these procedures will not work. Use the ntBOOTP Program or any standard
Internet Web Browser to change the IP parameters.

Assigning IP Address with ntBOOTP
configure it, and the TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to the printer's
Konica Print Server on 32-Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT & Windows 95)
using the ntBOOTP.exe program. You will have to store the file in the
Windows directory. You can use ntBOOTP Lite to configure the IP address
instead of ARP.
2. From Windows Program Manager under File, select Run ntBOOTP.exe.
4. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the Konica Print Server;
its Subnet Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet);
Default Gateway (your router's IP address); and the MAC address of the
rather than the dashes Windows uses.
5. Click on Go.
6. Wait about five minutes. The Konica Print Server should recycle and
produce a status sheet showing the IP parameters you have just entered.
7. Pull down Admin menu to Verify. You should get a message back stating
that the Unit is Active. If you do not get this message, check that TCP/IP is
enabled on the status sheet
8. When you get a response that your unit is active, you should be able to
ping the Konica Print Server.

Assigning IP Address With ARP

1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]
The identified unit should reply.
NOTE: You need to ping something on your network prior to using the arp -s command.
Windows NT will not allow you to add an entry to an empty arp cache.
arp -s [IP address of the Konica Print Server] [MAC Address of

the Konica Print Server]. The entry should be accepted.
ping [IP address of the Konica Print Server].

Request should time out.
2. Recycle the power on the printer or let the Konica Print Server reset itself.
The Konica Print Server will produce a status page that should include the
entered IP address.
3. When the Konica Print Server is up again, at the command prompt, enter:

NOTE: This only enters the IP address. Use the ntBOOTP Program or any standard Internet
Web Browser to change the IP parameters.

Setting Up lpr on the Workstation
Use this procedure to set up the lpr spooler on the Windows NT server.
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Go to Printers.
3. Choose Printer Menu.
4. Choose Create Printer.
5. Enter a printer name (For example, lprprinter).
6. Select the proper printer driver.
7. Enter a description. This is optional.
8. In the Print To dialog, choose Other.
9. In Print Destinations window, select lpr port.
10. When the add lpr compatible printer window is displayed, enter:
IP address [Line 1: Address of host providing lpd (Print server)]

PORT1 [Line 2: Name of printer] (the word PORT must be in
uppercase format followed directly by the number 1).
11. Choose OK to exit.
Your Konica Print Server is now configured to operate Windows NT.

You may print from any application by following the normal print instruc-
tions for that application.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism for

delivering IP addresses to hosts through an IP network, and, for the delivery
of other configuration parameters, such as a subnet mask or gateway
address.
Important: When configuring a DHCP server, you need to establish a

permanent lease or reservation for the print server. Failure to do this may
cause the same address to be given out to another host.
On power-up of the print server, a DHCP request is broadcast. Based on the

tables established on the DHCP server, the reserved IP address information
will be returned, the print server will automatically be reset and restarted
using the reserved address information.
FTP UNIX Printing
FTP printing allows users several ways to print files through the internet
directly from their favorite IP browser or other FTP client.
To print from Netscape (only Netscape 2.0 or greater), use the following
procedure:
1. Type: ftp://port1@<destination server IP address>
2. Select File.
3. Select Upload File.
NOTE: FTP printing does not support selecting multiple file names.
The selected file is now sent to the printer.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
FTP UNIX Printing
ASCII to PostScript (A2PS) Method
If you wish to send text-based files to the PostScript printer on your print
server, connect to that port. For example, to print to A2PSx (ascii to
postscript) on your print server from Netscape 2.0 (or greater):
1. Type: ftp://a2ps1@<destination server IP address>
2. Select File.
3. Select Upload File.

Drag and Drop Method
From Netscape 2.0 (or greater), use the drag and drop method of printing a
file on your print server, as follows:
1. Type: ftp://port1@<destination server IP address>
2. Click and hold on the file that is on your system and drag it to your IP
browser's window.
3. Click on OK to upload the file.

NOTES:
1. FTP printing does not support selecting multiple file names.
2. Only one person can be logged on to a port at any particular time.
FTP Client
To print from a FTP Client, perform the following procedure:
1. Type: ftp <destination server ID>

2. Type: port1 (login using username of PORT1)
3. Type: put <filename>

Printing Overview
The Konica Print Server can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:
• Host-based where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or

more workstations and print data is communicated to the Konica
Print Server via a TCP/IP port
or
• Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line

printer daemon.
Many operating systems provide the option of using host-resident printing or

print server-resident printing.
In general, printer-based lpd is easier to use on BSD UNIX systems. This

requires an entry in the printcap file once the Konica Print Server has its IP
information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of
remote lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpd approach be used.
Each printing mode has certain advantages over the other mode, as follows:
• The host-resident method can print the username and filename on

its banner page; whereas the print server-resident method prints a
banner page with the host’s name.
• The print server-resident method requires you to configure the

printer only one time, when you install the print server.; whereas,
the host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be
installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.
NOTE: The Konica Print Server will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/
spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port.

Printing Overview
Considering both the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabili-

ties, the Konica Print Server works with the following systems:
• All UNIX systems that support lpd
• System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms)
• DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4
• DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0
• Solaris:
Version 1.1.3 (SunOS 4.1.3),
Version 2.3 (SunOS 5.3),
Version 2.4, and
Version 2.5
• HP-UX Series 700 and 800 Version 9.01 and Version 10.0
• IBM AIX Version 3.2.5 and Version 4.0
• SCO UNIX Version 3.2
• AS400
The TCP/IP CDROM also includes source code so that you can recompose
host-based code for configuring on other System V platforms.

Configuring the IP Address on the KN-301 Print Server
Regardless of the printing mode selected, the Konica Print Server must be
given IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address
for the Konica Print Server in one of the following ways:
• Use Konica Network Management Utility for Windows.

• Use Apple Administration Program for Macintosh.
• Use the Internet Boot Protocol (BOOTP).
• Use reverse ARP (rarp) capability (Ethernet II frame type only).
• Use arp and ping capability.
Depending on the topology, you need to provide the MAC address of the
Konica Print Server.
The MAC address is the 12-character code that is printed on the configura-
tion status report each time the printer is turned on.
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the print server
is in its factory default state (when no IP information has been entered.)
After the print server has an IP address, you must use the Konica Network
Management Utility, or the Apple Administration Program (for Macintosh)
to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

Using BOOTP
The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP

address of a non-disk network device. To communicate the IP address, use
the following procedure:
1. Turn off the print server.
2. Log in as superuser on a host that is attached on the same network

segment as the print server. Confirm the subnet mask is the one you intend to
use. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this proce-
dure to store the IP address in the print server.
3. Find the LAN address of the Konica Print Server. The address is printed
on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP
address and Konica Print Server’s node name. See the network administrator
for the IP address. For example, a Konica Print Server named printfast with
an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
6. Edit the /etc/bootptab file and add the following information:

Konica_host:\
:ht = hardware type:\
:ha = ethernet address:\
:ip = IP address:\
:sm = subnet mask:\
:gw = gateway address:
Example, for an RFC 1048 system:
printfast:\
:ht = ether:\
:ha= 0040AF03AF6E:\
:ip = 192.9.200.200:\
:sm = 255.0.0.0:\
:gw =192.9.200.10:\
(If running SCO UNIX, add:)
:vm = rfc1048:

Using BOOTP (continued)
The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system:
host htype haddr iaddr bootfile
printfast 1 00:40:af:03:af:6e 192.9.200.200 default boot
7. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing: bootpd -s
8. Check the printer to verify that the Konica Print Server is connected to
the network. Turn on the printer.
9. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough
time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in nonvolatile
memory. The Konica Print Server should re-initialize itself.
10. After the Konica Print Server has re-initialized, send a ping command to
verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the print server has the address, a confirmation message displays:
192.9.200.200 is alive
11. Remove your changes to the /etc/bootptab file.
12. Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

Using rarp
The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to

query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. This procedure requires a
workstation with a rarp server.
To store the IP address, use the following procedure:
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server.
If the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the
IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the
network.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the Konica Print Server. The address is
printed on the configuration status report when you power on the printer.
Address and Konica Print Server's node name.
See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server
with the name of printfast has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Edit the /etc/ethers file or use NIS or DIS to add the Ethernet address.
To continue the example, for the printfast card with an Ethernet address of
00:40:c8:00:00:ff, make the following entry:
0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast

Using rarp (continued)
6. If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon
is running.
7. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network.
Turn on the printer.
8. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough
time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in nonvolatile
memory. The Konica Print Server should then reset itself.
9. After the Konica Print Server has reset, send a ping command to verify
that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:
ping 192.9.200.200
If the print server has the address, a confirmation message displays:
192.9.200.200 is alive
10. Remove your changes to the /etc/ethers file.
11. Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

Using ping
Use the following procedure to enter the IP address:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server.

However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to
store the IP address in the print server.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the Konica Print Server. The address is
printed on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
address and print server’s node name. See the network administrator for the
IP address. For example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP
address of 192.9.200.200 has the entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the print server’s IP address and
Ethernet address, as:
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
RS6000 (AIX) requires the ether option after arp -s.

For example: arp -s ether 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
6. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network.
Turn on the printer.
7. Send a ping command the Konica Print Server to verify it is running on

the network, as for example:
ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast
The Konica Print Server will not respond to this ping command but it will
read its IP address from the packets.
8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command
again to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. A confirmation
message displays as:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command.
Specify the print server either by its IP address or by its name, for example:
arp -d printfast
lpd UNIX Printing
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon that lets
you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on
your workstation, with all filtering and banners done by Konica Print Server.
Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on a remote system by
looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer.
lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the
lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the
control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system.
The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to
information contained in the control file and its own printcap file.
The Konica Print Server lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer
emulation and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer
type you specify.
You can indicate to the Konica Print Server lpd what type of printer is
attached to by either:
1. Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or

2. Changing the listed emulations via a standard IP based Web Browser.
The sections that follow give specific lpd setup instructions for various
systems.

lpd UNIX Printing
Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd
To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to Konica Print Server
using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on your host
for each printer you use. The procedure is described below.
1. Open the /etc/printcap file.

Make an entry naming the Konica Print Server as the remote host and
PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is as follows:
<printer_name>\ (for example, lprprinter)
:lp=:\
:rm=<remote_host>:\ (
for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)
:rp=PORT1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>:
(for example, spool directory on system used to spool
data and control files)
This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name> to the

printer designated <printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal
connection to the printer) of the Konica Print Server designated as
<remote_host>.
2. Create the spooling directory. For example, type:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>
3. To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:

lpr-P <printer_name>< file_name>
Installation and testing are done. You are now ready to print.
Setting Up an AIX Remote Printer to Use lpd
Use the following procedure to set up a remote printer on the host that sends
jobs to the Konica Print Server using the Konica Print Server's lpd.
1. At the prompt, type: #smit spooler <cr>

2. When a window appears, select Manage Remote Printers.
3. When a menu appears, select Client Services.
4. Another menu appears, select Remote Printer Queues.
5. Another menu appears, select Add a Remote Queue.

11. If the connection is confirmed, you can now print.

lpd UNIX Printing
Setting Up an AS/400 System to Use lpd
When working with the output queue description (WORKOUTQD), there

are several fields that must be defined for the Konica Print Server to
function properly as a remote printer device.
Use the following procedure to define fields for the print server to make it
function as a remote printer:
1. When prompted for the remote system, type INTNETADR so the AS/400
recognizes the device as an IP device.
2. Type: PORT1
3. Connection type must be IP.
4. Internet address must be the IP address of the Konica Print Server device.
5. Destination type must be OTHER.
6. When prompted for transforming SCS to ASCII, type YES to allow the
AS/400 do the character translation.
7. Manufacturer type and model must be the print driver that goes with your
printer. For example, OKI320IBM.

lpd UNIX Printing
Setting Up System V Release 4 and Solaris 2.X to Use lpd
If your system recognizes the LPSYSTEM command, you do not need to

install Konica's host-side software. Another option is the admintool if your
system supports it.
LPSYSTEM Installation
The following procedure must be executed from the Bourne Shell.
Type: SH then press Enter to enter the Bourne Shell program.
Use the following procedures to install LPSYSTEM:
1. lpsystem -t bsd
Print server host name in /etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP
address instead of the remote host name.
2. lpadmin -p <local printername> -s <remote host name or IP

address>!PORT1
NOTES:
1. There is no space between the remote host name and !PORT.
2. Enable <local printername>
3. Accept <local printername>

Installing TCP/IP If Not Running lpd
The TCP/IP CDROM provided with the KN-301 Print Server includes
install scripts for various UNIX systems.
This section describes how to install TCP/IP printing on the KN-301 Print
Server for any of the following operating systems:
• DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC
• System V Rel. 4
• Solaris (Ver. 1.x, 2.x)
• SCO UNIX
• OSF1/ALPHA
• IBM AIX
• HP/UX
Once the Konica Print Server has its IP information loaded, the following
steps are necessary for host-side TCP/IP printing:
1. Load the print server software on your workstation.

It is presented as a tar file on the TCP/IP CDROM.
2. Run the appropriate installation script, if available.
3. Complete the configuration for your operating system.

Loading the Software
The following procedures are only necessary when using the supplied host-
based lpr capability.
Loading the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used.
1. Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to the print server.
2. Insert the print server’s TCP/IP CDROM in the host drive.
3. Go to or create the directory in which you want to install the software.

For example:
mkdir /usr/PSC_install
NOTE: If you already have a Konica Print Server printer at your site and you are now
installing another one, delete the files in the installation directory not (/usr/Konica). If
these files remain, they can prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.
4. Use the tar command to load the software from the CDROM. Choose
your UNIX version from the example from the following table, or if not
shown, consult the man page for your system:
UNIX Version Example
BSD/ULTRIX/AIX/SCO tar -xvf/dev/rfd0

System V tar -xvf/dev/rdsk/f13ht
System V/Solaris 2.3 tar -xvf/dev/rCDROM
NOTE: The device name varies depending on the computer and its peripheral designations.
The first BSD floppy device is often called rfd0.
5. After performing the tar, the system will display a list of Konica Print
Server files copied by the tar. At this point, go to the appropriate section in
this manual for instructions on running the installation script on your system.

Filters
There will be certain options in executing the script for various systems.
PostScript UNIX Printing
The installation script can create an entry in the /etc/printcap file for your
printer:
ASCII, PCLfiles
If your printer is not a PostScript printer, the install script uses an input filter
(infilter) that supplies CR/LF translation to print ASCII files on a PCL
printer.
If your printer is a PostScript printer, your printcap file will reference

psfilter which offers easy ASCII-to-PostScript conversion. Normal
PostScript format files are not affected. Proprietary and public domain
filters are available for broader filtering capabilities.
PSBanner
The Konica Print Server ships with an input filter called psbanner, an
output filter to print PostScript banners.
You may change infilter or outfilter entries in the /etc/printcap file.
The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:
<print_name> | Konica Print Server printer:\
:lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\
:of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems
1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.
The script automatically downloads the correct Konica Print Server utilities
for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.
2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts.
For example, type: printfast, then press Enter.
3. What is the printer name? Type desired printer name, then press Enter.
4. The screen displays install script information you provided, as for

example:
Node name of the Konica Print Server: printfast
Printer name to be used: <printer_name>
The printer is attached on: PORT1
When asked to OK this configuration, type yes or no, then press Enter.
5. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured.
The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to
your /etc/printcap file. See below for a sample printcap file.
Type yes or no, then press Enter.

If you type no, you may perform manual edits.
In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the device
given Konica Print Server in Step 2. You must reference the same lp: entry
you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file. For example:
<printer_name> | Konica Print Server printer:\
:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
Except for the first line, all printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab.

Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems

(continued)
6. The Installation script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the
daemon for the newly configured printer.
It also displays the path used in case you need to restart the daemon.
For example:
/usr/nic/nic_print /dev/nic/<printer_name> printfast 10001 &
7. Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd processes.
Type: ps -ax | grep lpd
8. To stop ALL printing, use the kill command on your lpd processes.
Type: kill -9 <Process ID>
9. Restart the daemon.
Type: /usr/lib/lpd
10. Installation for the system is completed.

When prompted to configure additional printers:
Type yes or no, then press Enter.
It is recommended that you ping the Konica Print Server to test communica-
tions.

Installing and Printing on DEC ULTRIX 4.3 System


Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example,
type printfast, then press Enter.
3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name, then press Enter.
4. The screen displays your install script information, as, for example:

You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no, then press Enter.
5. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured.
The screen displays the entry (see sample printcap file below) and asks if
you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap file.
Type yes or no, then press Enter. Type no to perform manual edits.
<printer_name> | Konica Print Server printer:\

:lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/infilter:\
6. Installation for the system is completed. When prompted to configure

additional printers, type yes or no, then press Enter. It is recommended that
you ping the Konica Print Server to test communications.
Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the /etc/printcap file to config-
ure a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD
systems, however, the printcap entry is different.
If you use the printcap entry generated automatically by the installation

script, this will be transparent to you.

Installing and Printing on HP/UX System


Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example,
type printfast, then press Enter.

Type the desired printer name, then press Enter.
4. Your screen displays your install script information, as for example:

5. The script starts the daemon for the newly configured printer automati-
cally. It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the
daemon. In the following example, the path would be:
/usr/nic/nic_print /dev/Konica/printer_name printfast 10001 &
This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier.
When the installation script is completed, you must configure the printer and
make it known to the lp system. The HP/UX lp system uses the lpadmin
maintenance command to configure a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file).
Use the following specific commands to configure the printer:
lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name

enable printer_name
accept printer_name
See HP's alternative SAM method for configuring the printer on next page.

Installing and Printing on HP/UX System (continued)
Using the SAM Program to Configure the Printer
HP supplies the sam program as an alternative method for configuring the

printer. The printer name must be the same as the one you entered during the
Konica Print Server installation.
When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected
to /dev/lprprinter/printer_name.
The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing
needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters, and the system will invoke
the filters automatically if you define the content type of the printer as
PostScript.
The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript
banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and content types if
necessary.
The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now available to you.
The fact that you are printing across the network is completely transparent.

Installing and Printing on System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V

Rel. 4 386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4
i386-based machines.
Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes
nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.
After completing the software download in Loading the Software, you must
configure the printer and make it known to the lp system.

2. Select your system by choosing one of the following options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3, then press Enter.
3. You have now installed TCP/IP on the Konica Print Server.
Copy your interface file.

(/usr/nic is a good place to keep your copy).
4. Edit the printer interface program this printer uses to redirect output to the
Konica Print Server. Then, configure your printer using lpadmin.
In most cases you would use the default interface script named standard
(usually found in the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/model directory).
If you wish to use an interface tuned to a specific printer, you must have a
copy of the interface file for the port you want to initialize. For example:
cp /usr/spool/lp/model/standard /usr/nic/port1_interface

Installing and Printing on System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V

Rel. 4 386-based Machine (continued)
Most Version 2 Solaris machines have a shell variable called FILTER that
can be changed to invoke nicfilter.
A typical example is:
FILTER=" /usr/nic/infilter | /usr/nic/nicfilter \
PSC_name 10001 ${nobanner} \
${user_name} ${request_id} ${files} "
You must specify the Konica Print Server name (PSC_name) and the Konica
Print Server port (10001) indicated above to enable the nicfilter to connect
to the Konica Print Server unit. The name must be the same as the one you
entered in /etc/hosts for this Konica Print Server.
The remaining arguments are optional. nicfilter uses them to produce a high
quality banner. The lp print service user name, request id, file names and
options always pass to the interface file. They will be available in any
interface script as shell variables, although they may have different names.
If you disable banners in the lp command, the system will set the
${nobanner} option to yes. This will suppress the Konica Print Server
banner generation.
If you don’t define the FILTER shell variable in your interface file, you can
usually modify it to pipe data to nicfilter. The simplest way to accomplish
this is to enclose the entire script in parentheses and pipe it to nicfilter,
using the arguments described above.
If you wish to use the banner generated by the interface file, simply omit the
last four arguments.
NOTE: These arguments are shell variables from the interface file. They may have different
names (names used above are from the standard interface file supplied with most Version 2
and i386 systems).

Installing and Printing on SCO UNIX System
Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems.
The Konica Print Server solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter.
The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file.
After completing software download in Loading the Software, you must

configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Use the following
steps:

2. Select your system. Choose one from these options:
1) AT&T/SVR4; 386
2) SCO UNIX System V
3) None of the above
Type 1, 2, or 3 and press Enter.
3. What is the node name of the Konica Print Server?
Type the name assigned in the /etc/hosts file, then press Enter.
For example, type: printfast
4. What is the printer name for this Konica Print Server-linked printer?
Type a printer name, then press Enter.
5. The screen displays your install script information. For example:
Do you want to accept this configuration? Type yes or no, then press Enter.

Installing and Printing on SCO UNIX System (continued)
6. The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly configured
printer. It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the
daemon. In the preceding example, the path would be:
/usr/nic/nic_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &
This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier. When the
installation script is complete, you must still configure the printer and make
it known to the lp system.
The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to

configure a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file).
The specific commands to do this are:

lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name
NOTE: Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command.
enable printer_name
accept printer_name
You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system
documentation for details. Note that the printer name must be the same as
the one you entered during Konica Print Server installation.
The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of your
printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will
invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as
PostScript.
The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce
PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and
content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print
service is now apparent. Your printing across the network is completely
transparent.

Installing and Printing on AIX RISC System/6000
The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program.
The qdaemon uses configuration information stored in the /usr/lpd/

qconfig file to manage queues and route jobs to the proper devices. This
information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device
known to the system.
An AIX virtual printer is simply a high level software view of a data stream,
queue, and device that controls how a given job will be processed. A
different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that a real
printer supports. For example, you would use different virtual printers for
PostScript and PCL jobs even though they are destined for the same
physical printer.
Configuring a Konica Print Server printer on an AIX system approximates

configuration of a local printer as closely as possible. The only difference is
that the physical device associated with your Konica Print Server printer
must be a named pipe used by the print daemon to route data to Konica
Print Server.
The following procedure shows the most straightforward way to add a

printer to your system:
1. Run the Install script by typing: nicinst.


Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts, for example,
type: printfast, then press Enter.
Type: the desired printer name, then press Enter.

Installing and Printing on AIX RISC System/6000 (continued)
4. The screen will display the install script information you provided, as for
example:
5. Configure a virtual printer using printer_name as the physical device,

where printer_name is the same printer name chosen during install.
6. Use the following command to shut down the qdaemon and stop all
printing:
stopsrc -s qdaemon
7. Edit /etc/qconfig to change the special file for device printer_name
from: /dev/printer_name
to: /dev/nic/printer_name.
8. Restart the daemon with:

startsrc -s daemon
The installation script creates the named pipe and starts the supplied print
daemon using the printer name and Konica Print Server information you
supplied.
Since the AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) cannot accept a
named pipe as a printer device, the installation script creates a null character
device in /dev/printer_name.

Virtual Printer Commands
By entering the device name printer_name for configuration purposes,

virtual printers can be added either through SMIT or through the mkvirprt
command.
During this process you also select a particular printer type for the new
printer, which inherits the set of predefined attributes for that printer type.
In most cases, this set of attributes will be sufficient, but it can be changed
either through SMIT or by using the chvirprt command. If you need to
make more extensive changes on your printer, see the AIX RISC System/
6000 documentation for information.
Before you edit the files, be sure that the following daemon is running:
/usr/nic/nic_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &
Use the following procedures to add or change virtual printers:
1. Run nicinst.
When prompted, enter information for the following questions:
• Nodename (host name in the /etc/hosts file)

• Printer name
• Unit type
• Port number - Enter 1 for parallel port 1
Answer y to accept the configuration and n when prompted to

configure another printer.
2. At the prompt, type smit, then press Enter.
3. Choose Devices.
4. Choose Printer/Plotter.
5. Choose Manage Local Printer Subsystem.
6. Choose 1. Printer or Plotter attached to Host.

Virtual Printer Commands (continued)
7. Enter the Device name.

Use the same name entered during the install for printer name.
8. For Type of Printer, enter a number from the printers list, then press Enter.
9. Header pages wanted? Type n for none.
10. Trailer pages wanted? Type n for none.
11. Enter Print Queue name. Type ! to bypass configuration.
12. Should this be the default queue?

Enter y for yes or n for no, then press Enter.
13. Exit smit.
14. Type cd/etc, then press Enter.

After the virtual printer has been added, there will be a stanza in /etc/
qconfig for device printer_name that looks like the following:
printer_name:
file=/dev/printer_name
backend=/usr/lpd/probe
Edit /usr/qconfig and change the following:

file=/dev/printer_name to file=/dev/nic/printer_name
15. Type stopsrc -s qdaemon.
16. Type startsrc -s daemon. Now you can print using the lp command.
AIX Print Commands
The AIX lp command works slightly differently from the lp command for
other System V Release 4 systems. The following lp commands can be used
to print files:
lp -d <queue_name> <filename> or
lp -d <queue_name>:<device_name> <file_name>

Section 6: Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
How to Determine the Cause of a Problem
To determine the cause of your printing problems, check the following:
• CHECK PRINT SERVER STATUS PAGE(S) TO CONFIRM THAT EACH

NETWORK PROTOCOL IS INSTALLED AND CONFIGURED CORRECTLY.
Unit Serial No: 123456 Version: 00

Network Address: 00:40:af:02:71:50
Novell Print Server Name: KN3_123456
• IF YOU MADE CHANGES TO YOUR NETWORK, BE SURE THE CHANGES

DID NOT AFFECT THE PRINT SERVER PRINTER(S) CONFIGURATION.
Check to see if you installed and configured the Print Server

correctly. See section 3 for Novell or section 5 for TCP/IP.
• CHECK TO SEE IF OTHER PRINT SERVER USERS CAN PRINT.
If you added, changed or removed any network hardware,

check to see if it is installed correctly.
• CHECK TO SEE IF THE USERS ARE ON THE SAME NETWORK

OPERATING SYSTEM. IF YES, REFER TO TROUBLESHOOTING
INFORMATION FOR NOVELL OR TCP/IP.
If you added or updated software, make sure the version is

compatible and installed correctly. Go to your Novell NetWare
manual to confirm Setup.
• PRINT SERVER AND PRINTER
Check the printer connections for the printer.

If each user is using a different NOS, go to the section
for the specific NOS. If users are trying to print to different
printers, check all cables and connections.
Troubleshooting 6-7
Troubleshooting
Printer Basic Checklist
• An error on your printer control panel may indicate a break in

communication from the network to the printer. This may be a
result of the network server going down, or from cables that are
loose or disconnected.
• Check to see if the printer control panel displays printer status, and
be sure the printer is on-line. If the control panel displays an error,
check error conditions and jam conditions in the printer manual.
• If the printer is plugged into the power outlet and the printer is
turned ON, try using another outlet.
• Make sure that all your connections are securely fastened.
• Make sure the file server is up and on-line.
Network Connections to the KN-301
• Make sure you are using the correct network interface port and that
each connection is secure.
• Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad cable.
6-8 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
KN-301 Troubleshooting
Make sure you have properly configured the KN-301 for each network
protocol you are using, i.e., Novell, AppleTalk, and TCP/IP.
• Enable all protocols you are using.
• Use the Konica Network Management Utility to enable the

protocols that you are using with KN-301.
Novell
• For Novell, make sure you configure all KN-301 printers using
PCONSOLE. You need to configure each printer you want to use.
AppleTalk
• For AppleTalk, make sure the KN-301 printer(s) are listed in

Chooser. This printer appears as the KN3#<Serial number> 1 in
Chooser (unless you changed it).
All Protocols
• Check the KN-301 status page to make sure your network protocol
is enabled.
• Check the KN-301 status page to make sure there is no error

message. If there is an error page, follow the instructions on the
page to make your corrections and then try printing again.
Troubleshooting 6-9
Troubleshooting
Novell Protocol
It is recommended that you first run the Konica Network Management

Utility for Windows to try and troubleshoot your NetWare problem. If you
still cannot resolved the problem, then go through the checklist below.
Print Server
• Check that the print Server name is entered correctly as

KN3_<serial number>
• If the printer is serviced by more than one Print Server make sure
the print jobs are directed correctly through PCONSOLE.
Printer
• Check print queue assignment to be sure that print queues are

assigned ONLY to the Print Server printers; otherwise print jobs
will go to other network printers.
• Check the PCONSOLE configuration to be sure the KN-301

printer(s) are assigned in PCONSOLE to the printer type
REMOTE OTHER/UNKNOWN.
• Check PCONSOLE configuration to be sure the correct form is

enabled.
• If you are printing graphics that may require two minutes or longer
to print out, increase the timeout using NetWare's PRINTCON or
CAPTURE utility.
NOTE: If the PCONSOLE settings are correct, the connection between the printer and the
network may have been broken. Turn the printer off and wait for a status message that
indicates the printer is Not Connected (using PCONSOLE). When printer power is resumed
the status should change to Waiting for Job.
6-10 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Novell File Server Checklist
• First, check to be sure the File Server has enough Hard Disk space
and is up and running.
• Use PCONSOLE to verify that the correct File Server is associated

with the Print Server.
If the KN-301 Loses Its Novell File Server Connection
• If the KN-301 loses its connection to the file server, it can take
approximately five to ten minutes to reconnect. No action is
required, since it will automatically try to reconnect on its own.
• If the connection is not made after a reasonable amount of time,

you should check the other error conditions listed in this chapter to
help troubleshoot the problem.
KN-301 Workstation Checklist
• Be sure you have Supervisor/Administrator rights to configure the

Print Server using PCONSOLE.
• From any workstation, run NetWare's COMCHECK to verify that

the File Server and the Print Server are communicating.
• Make sure the network is loaded on every workstation that is trying

to access Print Server printers. See Novell NetWare documentation.
• Make sure the workstation's programs are set up to print to the

Print Server printer; and you are using the connect printer driver.
• Verify that the workstation is connected to the correct print queue

by printing a file.
• Make sure the print queues assigned to the Print Server printers are
not assigned to other network printers.
• Use NetWare's PRINTCON to enable AUTOENDCAP.
• Use PRINTCON or CAPTURE to set a longer print job timeout.

A setting of two minutes or more is recommended for printing
graphics.

Troubleshooting
KN-301 Configuration Checklist
Workstation > Queue > File Server > Print Server > Printer
• Using the MAP browser from the workstation, look under Proto-
cols and Protocol Status to check the Print Server status, or to
display the server's queue status.
• Using PCONSOLE from the workstation, direct the print jobs to

the correct queues, then check to see if the print job is in the queue.
Use PCONSOLE to be sure you correctly configured any devices
you may have changed or added.
• Make sure the Print Server name is entered correctly as

KN3_<serial number>. If you changed the name using the MAP
browser, be sure to change the name in PCONSOLE to make the
change effective.
• PCONSOLE Version 1.0 cannot be used to configure the Print

Server. To upgrade PCONSOLE, contact Novell.
• Use the MAP browser to access the Konica Printer Management

System and check the Uniport configuration. If this port is being
used as an output port, it must be enabled to receive print jobs.
Print Server/File Server/Printer Connection Checklist
Workstation > File Server > Print Server > Printer

• If the Print Server cannot log into the File Server or cannot service
jobs from the server, check the following:
• Check to see if the Print Server is configured for the file server.
If it is not, use PCONSOLE to configure it.
• Use the MAP browser to access the Konica Printer Management

System and update the password stored in the Print Server. The
password assigned to the Print Server through PCONSOLE must
match the one assigned through MAP.
• Use PCONSOLE to verify that print jobs are being sent to the Print
Server printer. Be sure the print jobs are in the print queue and are
waiting to be printed. To check this, PCONSOLE must be in the
Remote Printer mode.
Troubleshooting
Workstation to KN-301 Connection Checklist
Workstation > Print Server > Printer
• Using PCONSOLE from the Workstation print a file to be sure the
print job gets to the Print Server print queue. If it is successful, the
problem is not in the Workstation to Print Server connection.
• Use NetWare's CAPTURE utility to send data from a Workstation

software application to the Print Server Printer.
See NetWare Print Server manual.
• Verify that another printer is not taking the print jobs from the
queue(s) BEFORE the Print Server can service the job. Disable the
other printer until you can verify the Print Server printer setup.
• Be sure that serial connected printers match the baud rate, flow,
word size, parity and stops of the Print Server units.

• Use the AppleTalk Administration Program in Section 4 to verify if
you selected the correct KN-301 and the correct zone.
Printer Checklist
• From the Macintosh workstation, use chooser to see if there are
other printers with similar names, and choose the correct KN-301.
• If background printing is enabled, select Print Monitor to see if
there is an error in printing.
• If you used the AppleTalk Administration Program, check to see if
you configured the KN-301 printers correctly.
• The printer name must appear in Chooser. If you did not use the
AppleTalk Administration Program to configure the KN-301, look
for the printer named KN3_<serial number> in Chooser.
• Use Chooser to confirm that AppleTalk is On.
• If the network has multiple zones, be sure to choose the correct
zone. See Section 4.
• If you renamed the printer in the AppleTalk Administration
Program, you must reselect the printer under the new name.
• If you placed the printer in a new zone, you must select the new
zone in order to select the printer.
Multiple Zones
• If the network has multiple zones, be sure to choose the correct
zone. See Section 4.
• If you renamed the printer in the AppleTalk Administration
Program, you must re-select the printer under the new name.
• If you placed the printer in a new zone, you must select the new

Assigning Multiple File Servers
Assign multiple file servers to the KN-301 print server using NetWare's
PCONSOLE utility during initial installation or afterward.
• During initial installation, assign multiple file servers to the KN-301 print
server as part of the software installation.
• Or, after initial installation is completed, use PCONSOLE to assign file

servers to the KN-301 print server. To enable the print server to service the
newly assigned file servers, turn the KN-301 print server power off, then on.
How to Assign Multiple File Servers
STEP 1

STEP 2
(a) When the Print Server menu displays, press the [INS] key to display the
new Print Server Name entry box.
(b) Type in the name of the KN-301 print server using the serial number
printed on the label located on the KN-301 board.
(c) Type in the name as follows: KN3_<serial number>
STEP 3
(a) After typing in the KN-301 print server name, press Enter. The Print
Server Information menu appears.
(b) Choose Print Server Configuration on that menu.
(c) Choose Printer Configuration on the Print Server Configuration

menu. A list of printers appears.
(d) Assign the KN-301 to Printer 0. After you assign each printer a number,
a Printer Configuration menu appears for the printer.
(e) Under the field name TYPE, select Remote Other/Unknown as the
printer type.
(f) After you configure each printer, save your changes (when you receive
the prompt) and escape back to the Print Server Configuration menu.
Appendix B-3
Assigning Multiple File Servers
STEP 4: How to Assign Multiple File Servers (continued)

screen that appears should be blank for the initial installation procedure.
(c) Press [INS] key to display a list of Available Queues for your printer.
(d) Choose a queue and assign a priority level to the queue (from 1 to 10),
then press Enter. The queue appears on the previous screen.
(e) Press [INS] to enter additional queues.
(f) When you finish assigning queues, escape back to the Print Server
Configuration menu.
If you do not want to set up NOTIFY functions, go to Step 6.

If you want to set up NOTIFY functions, go to the next step.
STEP 5
(a) Select users or user groups to be notified if a problem occurring with a
print job is sent to a KN-301 printer. (For details, refer to Step 5 of Set Up
Notify Options for KN-301 printer(s) in Section 3.)
If this procedure is part of the initial KN-301 installation, then you

are finished. If this procedure is being used after initial KN-301
installation, then go to Step 6.
STEP 6
Power down the KN-301 unit and power it back on. This will attach the file
servers you assigned to the KN-301 print server.
Using Passwords When Multiple File Servers Are Assigned

With multiple file servers assigned, the same (or no) password is used for all
servers when the KN-301 logs into the network. Set a password for the KN-
301 print server using the PCONSOLE utility and the Konica Network
Management Utility for Windows program (see NetWare Configuration,
Section 3).
When power is turned on during the initial installation or any time after-
ward, the KN-301 will log into the network and specify a password for all
file servers assigned to it. If no password is found, no password to login will
be specified.
B-4 Appendix
Jumper Settings
Normally, you do not need to change the jumpers on the KN-301 board.
Only in a rare case would you find that the jumper configuration does not
work with your network configuration.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT change any of these jumpers unless you have

the technical knowledge to do so. Any changes to the jumper setting
may cause your KN-301 to perform improperly or not at all.
To change specific jumper settings, see procedures on the following pages.
Changing Jumper Settings
Step 1: Turn off the Printer Controller Power and unplug the power cord.
Step 2: Remove the KN-301 board from the printer controller.
Step 3: Locate the Jumpers on the KN-301 board. (See the KN-301 board
illustration on the following page.)
Step 4: Change jumpers, as specified on the following pages.
Step 5: Reinsert the KN-301 board into the ISA Bus slot of the printer
controller.
Step 6: Plug in the power cord, then turn on power to the Printer Controller.

KN-301 Board Illustration
Once you locate the jumper you want to change, use the appropriate
procedure to change that jumper.
Address Select - JP2

The Address Select JP10 jumper block allows you to force the KN-301 to
use one of two memory address blocks to access shared memory. The two
memory-address blocks are identified as CS1 and CS2. CS1 memory space
is selected when the JP2 jumper is set to pins 2-3. (Only CS1 memory space
is available if just one card is used.) CS2 memory space is selected when the
JP2 jumper is set to pins 1-2.
Procedures for changing the jumpers continue on the next page.
B-6 Appendix
Jumper Settings
Factory Default Jumper - OP2
The Reset to Factory Default OP2 jumper allows you to force the KN-301
back to factory default settings
When you change this jumper, the parameters altered by any administrative
programs will be restored to factory default values, losing any special
configuration information that may have been entered.
The KN-301 is shipped with the jumper set to NORM (OP2 set to pins 2
and 3) for normal customer configuration.
To restore the KN-301 factory default setting, you must change the jumper
to FACT (for factory default) by setting OP2 to pins 1 and 2, power up the
KN-301, power down the KN-301, then change the jumper back to NORM.
See the following illustration.
BUS Handshake - OP3

The bus handshake signal may be altered to match the printer controller
signal. The normal handshake signal is WAIT (OP3 set to pins 2 and 3).
Check the printer manual to determine if the controller requires the alternate
handshake signal ACK/RDY (OP3 set to pins 1 and 2).
Network Bridging - OP4

This jumper is only used for Token Ring design (not applicable here) to
select the setting that is compatible with the bridge architecture of your
network. The setting options are: Source Route Bridging (a default setting
with OP4 set to pins 2 and 3); and Transparent Bridging (with OP4 set to
pins 1 and 2).
