1 CHAPTER 1 I NTRODUCTION O VERVIEW The main purpose of this book is to help the network administrator integrate SuperScript Color Laser printers into an Ethernet network. The first eight chapters describe setting up the printer on traditional networks using such systems as NetW are or W indows NT .
2 SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide Fr om Windows NT 4.0 • If you have a NetW are network, see Chapter 6 for Netware 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information. • In a W indows NT network you can use LPR printing. See Chapter 5. Fr om Windows f or Wor k groups • If you have a NetW are network, see Chapter 6 for Netware 5.
Typical Network Setups 3 I NTRODUCTION The printer and each print client use their own network cable to connect to the network. Print jobs sent by clients must not pass through a r outer to get to the printer . Pr inter Serv er T opolog y The printer server topology involves a computer , called a printer server .
4 SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide Microsof t Pr inter Shar ing T opology Microsoft Printer Sharing topology involves a LAN that interconnects the print clients. The printer is dir ectly connected to one print client using a parallel cable. The client then is configured to shar e its printer .
5 CHAPTER 2 NIC I NSTALLATION O VERVIEW If you have an NEC SuperScript™ printer already equipped with a Network Interface Card (NIC) ther e is an N in the model number . For example, the SuperScript 4600N. If you have a printer without a NIC, such as the SuperScript 4400, you can upgrade it by installing a NIC.
6 SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide Pr epar ing the Pr inter 1. T urn off the printer , remove the power cor d fr om the rear of the printer , and disconnect the printer cable from the port (A) . Position the printer so you are facing the side and back corner where the cable port is located.

8 SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide T ESTING THE NIC Follow these steps to verify that the NIC is installed and operating properly . 1. Connect the network’s twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors to the new network port on your printer (A) . Reattach the power cord to the printer (B) , plug in the printer .
Network Settings Page 9 NIC I NSTALLATION N ETWORK S ETTINGS P AGE Each time you turn on the networked printer , it prints a Network Settings page. The Network Settings page provides information about the network printer settings and network connections.
10 SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide NIC F EATURES NIC Status Lights When the NIC is installed, its two status lights, amber and green, ar e located on the Interface Panel on the back of the printer . Light patterns for normal operation are: Gr een light is on solid: This shows normal operation while the printer is awaiting print jobs.
11 CHAPTER 3 IP A DDRESS O VERVIEW T o take advantage of the many SuperScript network features, you must assign an IP addr ess to the printer network interface card or NIC.
12 SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide Using the Operat or P anel Y ou can use the Operator Panel to enable and set up the TCP/IP networking parameters for the printer . This is particularly useful for setting the network IP addr ess so you can use it as the printer ’s URL in W eb-based printing (see Chapter 9).
Assigning the IP Address 13 IP A DDRESS Using MAP The Management Access Program (MAP), runs only under W indows 95/98 and W indows NT 4.0. Y ou use MAP to list SuperScript network printers connected to your network. Then you select one to go to its Network Administration page for network administration options.
