Third Party Network Applications and Utilities Appendix B Third Party Network Applications and Utilities B.1 Windows 95 LPR Utilities Other vendors provide utilities that allow printing from Windows 95 using lpr. B.2 PC-NFS for Windows The NIC was designed as a direct network interface for printers in Unix environments that support the line printer daemon (lpd). The NIC also works with PC/TCP-compatible software, such as PC/TCP FTP, and with VMS systems that support (lpd).

Note: The print device can be either lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. The host is the server name; the printer name is the name assigned to the printer. 7.
Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults Appendix C Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults C.1 Upgrading the Flash EPROMs The Flash EPROM memory feature allows you to upgrade future Þrmware releases without opening the unit and replacing the EPROM chip. If the download is successful, the unit will reset itself and run the new Þrmware.
Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults A P P E N D I X The NIC recognizes the Þle as a Þrmware image and loads it into memory instead of printing it. Once it is loaded and its checksum values are veriÞed, the NIC automatically resets itself and runs the new Þrmware. Note: If an error or process interruption occurs, the NIC continues to run the old Þrmware and sends an error message to the console. C.2.
Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults C.2.4 Completing the Download Flash memory holds two complete Þrmware images, so that you can try a new image before implementing it. After download, the new image is stored in the main bank and the old image is stored in the alternate bank. Use the ßash command Restart in Other Bank to rerun the old version for comparison. Once you are satisÞed with the Þrmware update, copy it to the alternate bank so that both banks contain the same image.
¥ Enable Network DownloadÑThe default state. ¥ Restart in Other BankÑThe only way to cause the older image to execute when the images differ. The effect is temporary. A power cycle will always run the newer image. Use this command to compare the old version to the new version to identify problems. ¥ Copy This Image to Other BankÑUsed to make the images identical. This command updates the alternate bank with the new main bank version when the user is satisÞed with the new Þrmware image.
