Introduction The EcoLAN 3000E is the next generation Kyocera internal network interface card allowing easy installation without removing the printer mainboard.
Supported Kyocera Printer Models The EcoLAN 3000E is compatible with the FS/LS-600, 680, 800, 1700+, 3700+, 5800C, 6700, 7000+, 9000 and any other Kyocera printer with the slide-in interface. The 3000E is compatible with the upper (hard disk) interface slot of an FS/LS-7000 with a Software version of 25.05 or later. The Software version is displayed on the printer status page.
NetWare 2.x & 3.x Configuration 1. Login as Supervisor and start PCONSOLE. 2. Define the Print Queue. ê If a Print Queue already exists that will be assigned to the 3000E, skip to step 3 ê Select Print Queue Information from the Available Options menu. ê Press INSERT, type a name for the new queue to be serviced by the 3000E and press ENTER. Press ESCAPE to return to the Available Options menu. 3. Define the Print Server. ê Select Print Server Information from the Available Options menu.
NetWare 4.x & 5.x Directory Services Configuration NetWare Directory Services (NDS) configuration is accomplished using two utilities; 1) NetWares NWAdmin is used to define the required Directory Services objects, and 2) the 3000E parameters are configured with the Windows-based Management Access Program (MAP) if using IPX or with a web browser if using IP. NWAdmin Configuration 1. Enter NWAdmin and browse the tree to the container which will hold the print objects.
NetWare Directory Services Configuration continued... 3000E IPX Based Configuration IPX configuration is accomplished using the Management Access Program (MAP). 1. Install and Run MAP. ê Insert the CD included with the EcoLAN 3000E. ê In Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0, click on Start and select Run, or in the Windows 3.1 or NT 3.51 Program Manager, select File and choose Run. ê Type: D:\MAP\SETUP.EXE (where D = CD drive letter) and click OK. ê Once installed, double click on the MAP icon to start the program. 2.
2. NetWare Configuration. ê Select Setup NetWare in the Protocols column. ê Enter the Print Server Name, Preferred NDS Context, and Print Server Password (if a password was defined) exactly as they were entered in NWAdmin. Note: Entries are not case sensitive (except the sysadm password). Preferred Bindery File Server and Preferred NDS Tree should remain blank unless Bindery mode is used or if the network includes multiple NDS trees. ê If not using Bindery emulation, click the Disable Bindery box.
Macintosh Configuration KPDL, Kyoceras PostScript compatible mode is required for Macintosh printing. KPDL is standard on many Kyocera printers, however, it is optional on the following models: FS-600, FS-680, FS-7000 and all LS (Japanese) models. If KPDL is installed, it will appear in the Emulation list in the following procedure and on the printer Status Page.
Installing the Driver and Selecting the Printer 1. The Macintosh LaserWriter Driver is installed from the CD provided with the printer. Insert the CD, open the Drivers folder, then the appropriate country folder, and double click on the FS-Series Installer program in the desired language. 2. Once installation is complete and your system has been restarted, select Chooser from the Apple menu to open the Chooser. 3. Select the LaserWriter 8 driver, the zone (if any) and the 3000E printer. 4. Click on Create.
Windows Peer to Peer Printing Configuration Peer to Peer printing is available for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0. What is Windows Peer to Peer Printing? The peer to peer printing software which is included with the EcoLAN 3000E allows Windows PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer printing. The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing.
IPX Printer Name: The IPX peer to peer printing software uses the NetWare Print Server Name to identify the 3000E. The default name is the serial number preceded by KYO, e.g., KYO_163495. If desired, this name can be changed to a more easily identifiable name with MAP. To change the name, follow the MAP Configuration instructions in the NetWare Directory Services Configuration section in this guide (the settings other than NetWare Print Server Name do not need to be entered).
Windows NT 4.0 Configuration There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment. u If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by following the NetWare configuration instructions in this guide. u Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows Peer to Peer Printing instructions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.0, not for Windows NT 3.51.
Configuring the Printer Driver for LPR Printing The printer driver should be installed from the CD which is shipped with the printer. Unfortunately, Windows does not make the Add LPR Port available to the Install Wizard on the CD. Therefore, the printer driver should be installed selecting a standard port such as LPT1. Once the driver installation is completed, the driver port setting should be modified for LPR printing using the following procedure. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
DHCP Configuration (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) IMPORTANT: EcoLAN 3000E IP address assignment with DHCP will not work if the 3000E has an existing IP address and IP persistence is Permanent. DHCP provides a mechanism for delivering IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet mask, etc. to devices (hosts) on an IP network. DHCP alleviates the administrative burden of managing individual IP addresses.
WINS Configuration (Windows Internet Naming Service) WINS provides a mechanism for mapping NetBIOS (Windows) names to IP addresses. WINS enables defining a printing configuration which references the printer by its name rather than by its IP address. Thus, even if the printer IP address is changed via DHCP, the printing configuration will still be valid and printing will continue uninterrupted.
UNIX Configuration UNIX printing utilizes a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct print jobs to the printer. The 3000E supports two modes of lpd printing, host-based lpd and printer-based lpd. With host-based lpd, the line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations (hosts) where print jobs are accepted and sent to the 3000E. With printer-based lpd, the 3000E acts as the line printer daemon host and accepts print jobs directly.
IP Address Setup with the Printer Front Panel Set the IP address and other 3000E parameters using the following procedure. Note: Setting the IP address with the front panel automatically sets IP Persistence to Permanent, that is, the IP address is maintained when the printer is turned off and on. 1. Press the MODE key. If the first line of the LED panel does not already display INTERFACE, press the + or - key until INTERFACE is displayed. 2.
