The Printronix P5000LJ Series Printer Family Printer Overview The Printronix P5000LJ Series Printer Family The P5000LJ series of line matrix printers consists of 500, 1000, and 1500 lines per minute (lpm) models packaged in various configurations. All of the models offer software versatility and the latest refinements in line matrix printing technology. The model numbers indicate printing speed and physical configuration: Table 1.
Chapter 1 Printer Overview Additionally, the P5000LJ printer offers the following three emulations as part of its LinePrinter Plus grouping: Proprinter® III XL, Epson® FX-1050, and Serial Matrix P-Series. No matter what emulation is configured, your printer is very easy to use. The message display and indicator on the control panel communicate with you directly and clearly. You can select every function on your printer at the control panel, or you can send commands from the host computer.
Taking Care Of Your Printer Taking Care Of Your Printer Your printer will produce high quality print jobs if it is well taken care of. Periodic cleaning, handling the printer properly, and using the correct printer supplies, such as paper and ribbons, will ensure optimum performance. Chapter 16 explains how to clean the printer, and printer supplies are listed in Appendix A.
Chapter 1 Printer Overview Output Control Depending on the active emulation, the printers have the following output control features: • Four modes for printing text: 1. Correspondence (High Density) 2. Data Processing (DP) (Standard Density) 3. Sparse (high speed) (Sparse Density) 4. OCR A and OCR B • • Selectable forms length and width Character attribute specification: 1. Selectable pitch: normal, expanded, and compressed 2. Emphasized (shadow) printing 3. Automatic underlining and overscoring 4.
Graphics Options Graphics Options The PGL and VGL emulations allow you to create and store forms; generate logos, bar codes, and expanded characters; and create other graphics. Alphanumerics and bar code data are added as the form is printed. Protocols And Emulations A protocol is a set of rules governing the exchange of information between the printer and its host computer. These rules consist of codes which manipulate and print data and allow for machine-to-machine communication.
Chapter 1 Printer Overview Line Matrix Printing Your printer is an impact printer; it creates characters by printing ink dots on paper. The dots are printed on an invisible matrix mapped in printer memory (see Figure 2). Dot impressions are made by an array of steel hammers mounted on a rapidly oscillating shuttle. The hammers strike the paper through a moving ink ribbon. Dot Column Matrix visible only to the printer Dot Row Ink dots formed by hammer tips. Character Row Character Column Figure 2.
Printing Speed Direction of Shuttle Movement Dot Row Start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8* 9* * 10 Number of rows is determined by line spacing. 11 n 1 2 One Text Line * ** Paper Feed Direction This row is used only for lowercase descenders. This row is used for underlining and lowercase descenders. Figure 3. Dot Matrix Line Printing Printing Speed The speed at which text prints is measured in lines per minute (lpm).
Chapter 1 Network Interface Card (NIC) Network Interface Card (NIC) Network Interface Card (NIC) allows you to attach printers on a local area network (LAN) rather than attaching them directly to a host system. Following simple configuration steps, these peripherals can be simultaneously shared with users on the network whether you are using TCP/IP, NetBIOS over TCP/ IP, or IPX (Novell). NIC contains a network interface card to attach itself and the printer to the network.
NIC NIC The NIC at the rear of the printer has two indicator lights and two dipswitches, as shown in Figure 4. Dipswitches 1 2 Shown in OFF (default) position STAT (System Status) NET (Data to Network) Figure 4. Status Indicator Lights and Dipswitches Run and Auto Reset Modes Run Mode is the normal operating state of NIC. Auto Reset mode is entered when the watchdog timer is triggered and the Print Server resets itself.
Chapter 1 Network Interface Card (NIC) Network Indicator The NET LED displays the status of the network link. When the NET LED is on, link integrity is confirmed. The NET LED flashes off for 1/3 second when a data packet is being transferred. When the NET LED is off, the network connection has been severed. Dipswitches On the back of the interface, you will find a small window where you can access two dipswitches labeled 1 and 2 (see Figure 4). The functions of the dipswitches are explained in Table 3.
2 Downloading Function Code In P5000LJ Series Printers Introduction Downloading the function code is equivalent to updating firmware in the printer. This chapter explains how to load function code into P5000LJ printers.
Chapter 2 Introduction Preparation For Downloading There are several function code files available for the P5000LJ printers. The file you use depends on the printer emulation in use. Note Always upgrade the function code to the latest version available that meets the minimum flash memory and DRAM SIMM sizes listed in Table 4. To verify what function code is already installed, observe the control panel display when the printer is online.

Chapter 2 Loading Function Code To Flash Memory In The Printer Loading Function Code To Flash Memory In The Printer This section contains two loading techniques: • • Note How to load function code through the parallel or serial port of the printer. How to load function code through the Ethernet port using the file transfer protocol (ftp). If Ethernet is installed, you must install the code through the Ethernet port using ftp.
Downloading Software Through the Serial or Parallel Port • Serial or Parallel Port: If you are going to load memory through the serial or parallel port of the printer, see “Downloading Software Through the Serial or Parallel Port” on page 33.. The load commands are different, depending on the printer port you use. These differences are explained in the note following step 22., page 36.
Chapter Note 2 Installing Printer Emulations The default port is CENTRONICS; this is the standard load through the parallel port. If you want to use the default, continue at step 14. 13. Press ⇒ (NEXT) again to cycle through the download ports available in the printer: RS232-9600 (RS-232 serial, 9600 baud) RS232-19.2K (RS-232 serial, 19200 baud) RS232-38.4K (RS-232 serial, 38400 baud) RS232-115K (RS-232 serial, 115000 baud) RS422-9600 (RS-422 serial, 9600 baud) RS422-19.
Downloading Software Through the Serial or Parallel Port 17. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the appropriate file on the CD based on the printer model number and desired emulation, e.g., T5000 IGP. (See Figure 5.) 18. Make note of the file name, which is a six digit number plus .exe, e.g., 123456.exe. This is the file you will download into the printer. Figure 6. Copying the Emulation File to the Download Directory 19. Copy the file to the download directory.
Chapter 2 Installing Printer Emulations 22. At the command prompt on the computer type: filename.exe -pb where filename.exe is the file name you noted in step 18. This command decompresses the file on the hard drive and copies it as a binary file into the flash memory on the printer controller board. Note If you are loading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer, enter the following command: filename.
Downloading Software Through the Network Interface Card (NIC) Downloading Software Through the Network Interface Card (NIC) 1. Make a printout of all saved configurations. (Installing new software erases all saved configurations. You will use the printouts to restore the printer configurations.) 2. Set the printer power switch to O (Off). 3. On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ONLINE + PAPER ADVANCE keys. Without releasing the keys, power the printer on. Continue holding the keys down. 4.
Chapter 2 Note Installing Printer Emulations You must use the Unzipped directory, since this contains the uncompressed files necessary for NIC download. 9. Make note of the file name, which is a six digit number plus .prg, e.g., 123456.prg. This is the file you will download into the NIC. 10. Copy the file to the download directory. 11. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.) 12.
Downloading Optional Font Files to Flash Memory 18. When the new program has successfully loaded into flash memory and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (off). 19. Unplug the AC power cord from the printer. 20. Remove the CD from the host computer and store it with the printer. 21.

Chapter 3 Configuring The Printer Operating Modes The printer has two operating modes: online and offline. When the printer is online, it is controlled by the host computer and prints data sent by the host computer. When the printer is offline, communication with the host is interrupted so you can load paper, change ribbons, or test and configure the printer. Activate configuration settings with the ENTER key, which enters your new setting into printer memory.
Changing And Saving Parameter Settings Changing And Saving Parameter Settings You can change a parameter setting, such as line spacing or forms length, by pressing keys on the control panel or by sending emulation control codes in the host data stream. When you change a parameter, it is active as long as the printer is on. This is true whether you used the control panel or sent a control code from the host. If you use the control panel, you can save the parameters as a customized configuration.

PCL-II Emulation Page Length Rep. • Inches/Page. All page length calculations are based on the inches displayed on the panel. • Lines/Page. All changes in LPI or density will be changed accordingly. The length of the page is the number of lines per inch, or lpi. For example, if the form in use is 82 lines at 6 lpi, the page is physically 13.67 inches. Since 13.67 inches is not selectable from the Length in Inches menu, change the representation to lines, then set the number of lines to 82.
Chapter 4 Emulation Menu PTX Linefeed • Disable. The default. Linefeed is to be performed as calculated from the bottom of the graphics or barcode, thereby disrupting the vertical text alignment. • Enable.

Chapter 4 RibbonMinder • Fault immed. When FAULT IMMED. mode is selected, and the ribbon life reaches 0%, the message RIBBON INK OUT/ CHANGE RIBBON displays on the control panel. The printer stops and goes into fault condition. To complete the job in progress, the user must press the CLEAR key. This allows the printer to continue printing for approximately two minutes.
RibbonMinder Menu Ribbon Type The factory default setting is dependent on the host printer. Printronix Gold Series 90 corresponds to the Cabinet version, Printronix Gold Series 60 for the Pedestal and Printronix Gold Series 2000 for the P5220. The relative length equivalents for each of the ribbon settings are: Table 12.
Chapter 4 RibbonMinder If the Ribbon Type is changed from the factory default to another value, Ribbon Usage will adjust accordingly, where 100% corresponds to the proportionate value of the selected type. For example, if the Ribbon Type is set to Printronix 60 (approximately 30 million), Ribbon End Point set to NORMAL would correspond to 30 million characters. With this same 60 yard ribbon, if Ribbon End Point was set to Reduce 50%, the character count would be set to 15 million, etc.
5 Approaches To Network Printing Overview Configuring your network printing is based on the network protocols and host environments you already use or plan to use. It is common to find multiple network protocols co-existing in the same network. NIC is a multi-protocol device that is able to accommodate many protocols at the same time. The actual print job order operates on a first-in/first-out basis.
Chapter 5 Overview Print Job Servers In most larger networks, print jobs usually are managed by designating one protocol and method for printing and then designating specific computers as print job servers, rather than by directing any host running any protocol to the networked printer resource. Computers designated as print job servers have large hard disk space to store print data and spool management software.

Chapter 5 Overview Models For every destination or queue, there is a pre-defined model associated with it. The model defines how the print job will be processed as it passes through to the printer. Models are a set of mini filters that can be used to modify the print data stream. The functions available for each model are as follows: 1. Insert carriage return after line feed 2. Insert a banner page before or after each print job 3.
6 Embedded NIC Web Page Overview The NIC comes with an extremely powerful printer management tool that allows you to monitor, configure, and manage both the printer and its print job. The NIC comes with an embedded web server that allows System Administrators and users access to its printer management capabilities from a standard web browser. The NIC printer’s IP address is used as a URL, similar to the URL of an Internet web page.

Configuration Network The network configuration allows you to specify the setting for each network protocol.
Chapter 6 Configuration Network Windows Network (NetBIOS TCP/IP) TCP/IP is used for Windows (i.e. Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows for Workgroups) printing unless another protocol like IPX is available. Therefore, mandatory TCP/IP settings (i.e. IP address and subnet mask) are necessary on the NIC. Go to "TCP/IP Network" on this form to fill in these settings if you have not done so already. Workgroup Name This name specifies which Windows workgroup the NIC resides.
Destination Settings Pserver Define a password for the NIC to use when logging in to the file server as a PSERVER. This is an optional file server security feature. Rprinter Define an RPRINTER setup so the NIC knows to service a PSERVER.NLM on a Novell file server. Define the PSERVER.NLM name, the number of the printer serviced by the NIC within this PSERVER.NLM, and the destination on the NIC you want the print jobs to pass through.
Chapter 6 Configuration Print Path Selected Model Defines the model configuration that is to be associated with the current destination. The default model names are m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6, m7, and m8. Current Model Settings Model Type The option is available on the Print Model web page. For a description, see page 147.

Chapter 6 Configuration - Log Path Trailer String Define an escape sequence to be sent to the printer after each print job. For example, you may want to send a sequence to add a formfeed so you don't have to manually press the formfeed button on the printer. You may also want to tell the printer to reset itself in case you have set a header string which tells the printer to do something special with the job. You can specify up to three separate sequences per trailer string.
Parallel Port (PRN) Logpath Port Define where logging information for print jobs passing through the associated destination will be reported.
Chapter 6 Configuration – SNMP Configuration – SNMP The SNMP Configuration form allows you to configure SNMP trap managers and the e-mail alert features of NIC. It allows you to configure how SNMP alerts are processed by a SNMP trap manager, an Unix syslog logging daemon, and/or have e-mail notifications sent. Up to 10 SNMP trap managers and e-mail recipients may be specified. Individual alerts fall into one of 12 alert group categories, providing the ability to filter alert notices as desired.
Parallel Port (PRN) If disabled, the message will contain additional information including the device name and location, alert description, alert group, and alert severity level, and printer status. Default: Disabled • Short E-mail Message Length - Specifies the maximum size of the short e-mail message. Acceptable values are 15 to 80 characters. Default: 80 characters • Send Test Message - Provides a way to test the validity of the e-mail address/SMTP server address.

7 TCP/IP Configuration TCP/IP NIC Configuration This configuration procedure assumes you have an existing network and TCP/IP attached to a Windows 95/98/NT, Unix, or other machine. You will configure network printing by adding the necessary TCP/IP values to the NIC and associating the Print Server as an output port for a Windows printer on a 95/98/NT client or server, or to a print queue or logical printer in Unix, AS/400, or HP e3000. Before You Begin 1.
Chapter 7 TCP/IP NIC Configuration Creating Aliases All TCP/IP systems are designed to make multiple operations easy by using an alias, which is a logical name to IP/MAC address association. This step is important in the Unix world if DNS (Domain Name Services) is being used; it can also simplify the other environments. Locate the hosts file.
Methods For Setting TCP/IP Values Methods For Setting TCP/IP Values Methods available to set TCP/IP values vary based the operating environment (see Table 14). Table 14. Available TCP/IP Setup Methods Note Operating Environment arp bootp DHCP Unix, HP e3000, Windows NT, OS/2 Windows 95/98 AS/400 * *AS/400 can use bootp as of OS/400 v4.3 • arp. Easy to use but cannot be routed, so printer and host computer must be on same network segment. Requires the use of print server MAC.
Chapter 7 TCP/IP NIC Configuration Assign TCP/IP Values Method 1: Using the Printer Control Panel All of the basic TCP/IP values can easily be set and stored in the NIC via the printer front panel under the ETHERNET PARAMS menu. Refer to “Configuration Using The Printer Control Panel” on page 68 for detailed instructions. Set the IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway Values, then press the ON LINE key to store those values in the NIC. These steps do not require the printer to be connected to your network.
Assign TCP/IP Values For Windows 95/98/NT or OS/2, open a DOS window. For AS/400, start from a command prompt. For Unix, start from a terminal session prompt: telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.
Chapter Note 7 TCP/IP NIC Configuration Windows uses hyphens to separate the values in the MAC address; Unix and others use colons. Now power the printer up, and wait a minute or more for the NIC to obtain the address above. Test by issuing the command ping IP_address. If you do not get a positive ping response, check your arp table entry, and check that the printer is on the same “wire” as you (the same IP address range, different only in the value after the last period).
Using BOOTP Web Browser Initiate the Web browser and enter the IP Address or hosts table name in the URL line. Click on “Configuration.” Log in as root, no password. Enter the values you need for subnet mask and gateway and click “Submit.” Delete the static arp entry: at a DOS prompt, type the command arp -d 192.168.20.20 (with your own IP Address value in place of this one). Then click on “System Administration” and “Reset Adapter” to store the values .
Chapter 7 TCP/IP NIC Configuration 2. Turn the NIC on so that it immediately sends out a BOOTP request. Wait one minute to allow the IP address assignment process to complete. You should see the STAT LED (on the NIC) slow down indicating it knows about an IP address to use. 3. Try to ping the NIC IP address from a network station to see if it can be seen on your network.

Chapter 8 Methods Of Adjusting Paper Position The line setup_file = filename is the file that contains customized setup strings to specify the printer operating mode for this logical device. This file must be an unnumbered file. When no setup file is specified, the default MPE/iX environment or the global setup file is applied at print time to the printer. The spooler will send the contents of the setup file, even if it is empty, which overrides its own default initialization.
Method 2 Method 2 Place the printer offline from the control panel. Press and hold either the SHIFT+Up arrow or SHIFT+Down arrow to “micro-step” the paper up or down as needed. Place the printer back online. Note The operation of the View key has been enhanced to include a new function. Normally, pressing the View key will move paper six inches up so the print can be viewed, and a second depression of the View key will move the paper down into the print position.
Chapter 8 Using Page Level Recovery On P5000LJ Printers Restarting at a user-specified page number in a command Processing of a spool file can be suspended and then resumed. It can be suspended by using the spooler command with the suspend parameter or by using the suspendspool command. It can be resumed with the spooler command with the resume parameter or by using the resumespool command. When the spool file resumes printing, it can start exactly where it left off or at another specified page.
MPE-XL / MPE / iX Typical Configuration Restarting at the point of interruption when a particular spool file is reprinted after being interrupted previously by a command In this case, a spool file is reprinted after being interrupted by a command such as spoolf #0 nnn;defer.

Configuring the NIC with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (IP address and subnet mask) 3. Configuring a new printer on the Windows station Windows Environment Description The NIC supports network printing under Windows environments by using TCP/IP.
Chapter 9 Windows NIC Configuration Win 95 Win 95 Win 95 Win 95 NT Server IP Router Win 95 Figure 15. Windows Integration Windows NIC Configuration The IP address and subnet mask are mandatory TCP/IP settings and are needed before the print server can be detected on the network. There are also additional optional settings. This section offers alternative methods for configuring your NIC in a Windows environment and mentions some of the more common optional settings available.
Communicating Across Routers Communicating Across Routers Since Windows environments rely on TCP/IP to communicate with the NIC, crossing routers becomes an issue. After following one of the NIC configuration methods mentioned, you should be able to communicate only with the print server from the same subnet. This means any hosts across a router will not see your NIC.
Chapter 9 Windows NIC Configuration 4. Click SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the print server to make the new settings take effect. Changing Destination Names When defining some printers within Windows environments, the NIC requires that you specify a pre-defined destination rather than any name you would like. For example, when creating a new printer under Windows NT, you are presented with a screen similar to Figure 16. Figure 16.
Windows NT 3.51 Host Setup 2. At the Print Path Configuration HTML form that displays, select a destination link from the top of the page to bring up the appropriate destination form. By default, you should see a line near the top of the form showing the destinations listed in Table 15. 3.

Windows 3.1 Host Setup Windows 3.1 Host Setup If you are running Windows 3.1 stations on your network, you will need to rely on either TCP/IP or IPX to print to the NIC. If IPX is used, you will have a print queue defined on a Novell file server to which your Windows 3.1 stations will send their print jobs. The NIC will then service this print queue as either a PSERVER or an RPRINTER. Please see Chapter 11, “Novell Configuration” for additional details.
Chapter 9 Windows Troubleshooting Tips NIC Cannot Be Found On The Network • Have you assigned the NIC a unique and valid IP address which corresponds with the other IP addresses on your network? For example, are you sure no other device is using this IP address? • Are you sure you are trying to talk to the NIC from a Windows station on the same subnet? Currently, the print server can only be seen locally unless you configured a routing entry earlier.
Cannot Browse The NIC On The Network Cannot Browse The NIC On The Network • Have you looked under the right Windows workgroup? By default, the NIC will be found under “WORKGROUP.” • Are you able to browse other Windows stations and devices on the network from this same station? • Has this Windows station been given enough time to update its registry so it can see this newly added workgroup device? Sometimes Windows stations can take considerable time, depending on the size of the network.
Chapter Note 9 Windows Troubleshooting Tips When the following procedure is used, the TCP access list will be cleared, but all IP addresses will need to be entered again after the procedure is complete. To reset all TCP/IP values to the factory defaults when access is impossible: 1. Obtain a printer configuration printout using the control panel. See Chapter 4 for configuration menu information. 2. Power off the printer. 3. On the NIC, place SWITCH 2 in the down position. 4.
Web Browser/HTTP Problem Web Browser/HTTP Problem In some cases you may not be able to browse the printer web page simply because the NIC HTTP may be turned off. If you cannot ping the NIC IP address, make sure the IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateway are set correctly by checking the Ethernet Parameters menu from the operator panel. See Chapter 4 for configuration menu information.
Chapter 9 Windows Troubleshooting Tips The Ethernet cable is not plugged in, or the printer is not turned on. This message is a communication failure between the NT 2000 server and the NIC. Check cabling, IP address settings, gateway, etc. • Test page does not print or prints incorrectly. 1. Is the printer online? Re-send test page. 2. The print queue name in step 6 should be d1prn; however, the name can be changed. To verify the queue names, print an Ethernet Test Page. 3.

Setting Password Security (NDS & Bindery) Setting Password Security (NDS & Bindery) In addition to the general security measures, a Novell setup provides further password security. A password can be set on the NIC and within your PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator setup so that when the NIC tries to login to the file server, the passwords are compared. To set the password on the Novell host for use in a PSERVER setup, you will need to complete the steps as follows. Netware 4.x and 5.x 1.
Chapter Note 12 Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T) The passwords entered in Netware Administrator or PCONSOLE must match the password set on the unit. 4. Click the SUBMIT button when done and physically re-power the printer to make the new settings take effect. Print Server Setup - Manual (Telnet) Method 1. Telnet to the print server.
Changing The Print Server Name (NDS & Bindery) Note You may also want to change the “Service mode for forms” to “Change forms as needed.” If you do not do this, the NIC will need to poll the file server twice as much to get all the information it needs. 5. Re-power the NIC by turning the printer off and on to make the changes take effect. Netware 3.x 1. Enter PCONSOLE as supervisor on your Novell host. 2. Select “Print Server Information” from the main menu and press ENTER. 3.
Chapter Note 12 Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T) Changing the name will effect all of the protocols that are running on the NIC. HTML Method 1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the print server over TCP/IP. 2. Direct your Web browser to URL: http://P5000LJIPaddress/adminConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/adminConf.
Changing The Frame Type (NDS & Bindery) Changing The Frame Type (NDS & Bindery) The NIC allows the user to store a particular frame type for the unit to adhere to in a Novell environment. HTML Method 1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the print server over TCP/IP. 2. Direct your Web browser to URL: http://P5000LJIPaddress/networkConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.
Chapter 12 Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T) Changing The Print Server Mode (NDS & Bindery) The NIC allows the user to store a particular mode for the unit to operate in. This will be either NDS, Bindery, or autosense. If autosense is used, the NIC will first attempt to log in to a NDS file server, and, if it fails, it will try to log in to a Bindery file server. Note If you are using both NDS and Bindery file servers in your setup, make sure the mode is set to auto. HTML Method 1.
Setting The NIC Context (NDS) Setting The NIC Context (NDS) The NIC allows you to store the print server object in any context within the NDS tree you choose. By default, the NIC will look for the print server object in the same context as the file server object it connects to is stored in. HTML Method 1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the print server over TCP/IP. 2. Direct your Web browser to URL: http://P5000LJIPaddress/networkConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.
Chapter 12 Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T) Setting The Print Server Preferred NDS Tree (NDS) The NIC supports Novell environments that have multiple trees. If your environment has more than one tree, you may want to set a preferred tree. By default, the NIC will try to log in to each tree it finds until it is successful. HTML Method 1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the print server over TCP/IP. 2.
NDS PSERVER Setup (Netware 4.x and 5.x) Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T) This section covers PSERVER and RPRINTER/NPRINTER setups on the NIC. The NIC can handle up to eight RPRINTER/NPPRINTER setups. Although the entire print setup is done through Netware Administrator or PCONSOLE, you may need to communicate directly with the print server in order to modify settings, monitor the unit, etc. For Netware 4.x environments, you can obtain a NWAdmn3x snap-in program called MPAdmin.
Chapter 12 Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T) 10. Type in the name for the printer in the “Printer name” field. Note The Printer object name must match one of the destination names on the NIC. Most likely, this will be d1prn. In NDS, a printer object can only be attached to one print server object at a time, as Novell is using the printer object to represent a physical printer. A physical printer can only be attached to one parallel or serial port at a time.
Bindery PSERVER Setup (Netware 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x) Note The name you use here must match the name stored on the NIC. This name can be found by using the list pserver command. See “List Commands” on page 254 for more information. 20. Select the “Define additional properties” and click the “Create” button. 21. Click “Assignments” in the dialogue that pops up, and then click the “Add...” button. 22. Select the printer you created earlier. 23. Click “OK” to assign this printer to this print server. 24.
Chapter 12 Novell Host Configuration (10/100Base-T) RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup (Netware 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x) This procedure associates an existing PSERVER with a remote NIC acting as a RPRINTER/NPRINTER in a NetWare 3.x or Netware 4.x or Netware 5.x environment. It is the PSERVER’s responsibility to get jobs from the queue and to pass them off to the NIC acting as the remote printer. Unlike a PSERVER setup, the NIC does not deal directly with the queues.
RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup (Netware 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x) 4. Look under the “Novell” section and find a row in the RPRINTER category. 5. Click “Enabled” and enter the name used with the PSERVER.NLM started in step 1 into the “Print Server Name” field. Note If it is an NDS pserver, only enter the PSERVER name and not the context (e.g., sales_ps). 6.
Chapter 12 NPDS Configuration (Netware 4.11 and Above) Example for an RPRINTER servicing printer 0 of the PSERVER.NLM called pserver1 and sending jobs to the NIC destination d1prn: store rprinter add pserver1 0 d1prn Note If it is an NDS pserver, only enter the PSERVER name and not the context (e.g., sales_ps). 5. Physically re-power the printer to make the new settings take effect. Wait two minutes and then check your PSERVER to see if the appropriate printer is being serviced.
RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup (Netware 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x) Setup using Forward Jobs to a Queue Mode In this mode, an NDPS printer agent receives jobs from an NDPS client, then forwards these jobs to an existing Netware queue. The Netware queue would then be serviced by the NIC in some manner. 1. The P5000LJ printer must first be set up to service some Netware queue, either by doing a PSERVER or RPRINTER mode setup from previous chapters. 2. When setting up the NDPS printer agent, use the “Novell Printer Gateway.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting (10/100Base-T) 5. In the next dialog, for the “SAP Name” enter the Print Server Name from step 1, and enter the Printer Number from step 1 above. 6. For the “Select Printer Drivers” dialog, choose no driver unless you have a driver installed into the Broker’s RMS which is to be used with the P5000LJ printer. The P5000LJ printer will need to be rebooted to attach to the NDPS printer agent in this mode.
PSERVER Setup • Note When setting the NIC up as a PSERVER, did you specify a destination on the NIC (e.g., d1prn) for the printer name, and did you remember this name is case sensitive? NIC destinations are case sensitive so they will not be recognized if they are typed incorrectly. By default, they are all in lowercase. If you are setting up in a NetWare 4.x environment, the destination must be renamed to uppercase to match the PCONSOLE or Netware Administrator entry.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting (10/100Base-T) • Note Try a debug nest rprinter telnet command (or find the “RPRINTER” section on the Novell HTML status page). Look for the following type of line: “(0:ENPReadConfig):[0:213] Destination = ,” where is between 0 and 3. If they all say “Destination = 65536,” then the PSERVER setup did not complete properly.
RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup RPRINTER/NPRINTER Setup If there is no connection with the NIC after you have completed the print setup, there are several things to confirm. Note The debug information that is mentioned in the section can be found by either telneting to the NIC and issuing the commands given, or launching a browser to the Novell status page on the NIC. (e.g., http://192.168.11.9/networkNovellStatus.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting (10/100Base-T) • If the NIC has logged in to the file server but has not attached to the queue, there may be a permission problem. Make sure the appropriate users have rights to this queue (they should be in the group “everyone”). Also, you may have to assign the queue to root so it is available to everyone. If none of these solutions help your situation, you may want to try the whole setup again.
Printing Related If you have followed the suggestions above and are still having printing problems, try rebooting the NIC. Then either review every step you took when configuring the NIC, or try re-doing the setup, paying special attention to each step explained in “Novell Host Configuration” on page 208. The job prints incorrectly This category can be broken down into several sub-categories such as lost characters, garbled data, extra banner pages, or blank pages at the end of the job.

13 Commands Command Shell Overview The NIC comes with an in-depth command shell which allows you to manipulate objects like destinations, I/O ports, and models. Additionally, it provides you with monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities. Access Methods There are many ways this command shell can be accessed: • • • built-in HTML forms a Telnet session from a TCP/IP host to the NIC a single remote shell command (i.e.
Chapter 13 Complete Command List Command Prefixes Typing in the first portion of a command will produce an error message showing the correct syntax. For example, typing in store tcpip will produce a list of all commands that start with this prefix. Complete Command List This section outlines the entire NIC command set including the command syntax, a description, and, in most cases, an example for each command listed.
Store Commands store pserver tcpsocket TCPportnumber dest destination store pserver tcpsocket 5000 dest d1prn Assign a pre-defined TCPportnumber to a particular destination on the NIC. Therefore, if you are using a print method that sends jobs directly to a TCP port number, you still have the option to process the job data through this destination setting. store pserver novell passwd password store pserver novell passwd mplex Store the password for the NIC to use when logging in to a Novell file server.
Chapter 13 Complete Command List Store the IP address for the NIC. store tcpip ifnum mask netmask store tcpip 1 mask 255.255.255.0 Store the subnet mask for the NIC. store tcpip ifnum opts [[-]rarp] [[-]bootp] [[-]dhcp] store tcpip 1 opts -rarp -bootp -dhcp Enable or disable the automatic RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP requests for IP addresses upon bootup. If you are storing the NIC TCP/IP network settings within the device, you will not need to rely on RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP for new settings.
Set Commands store tcpip tcp access add 192.75.11.25 Add or remove an entry from the NIC TCP access list defined by IPaddress. If the list has an entry, only this host can print to and remotely interact with the print server. store tcpip from default Set all TCP/IP network settings back to factory defaults. store tcpip from current Store all current TCP/IP network settings to flash memory so they are retained after a power cycle. This ensures all current settings match what is stored in flash memory.
Chapter 13 Complete Command List Set the destination to handle only certain print services. To add a service, specify the service name. To disable a service, use “-” before the name. The available services are: socket Direct socket printing via TCP/IP. lpd LPR printing with TCP/IP including LPR clients on any platform. lpsched LP or System V printing with TCP/IP. rprinter Novell RPRINTER support. pserver Novell PSERVER support. netbios Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups printing.
Set Commands set logpath logpath port TCPportnumber| email|syslog set logpath l3 port 2000 Determine where the log information should be sent for a print job or attached printer. The choices are: TCPportnumber TCP port number ranging from 1024 to 65000. email Particular user's email address. This address is set using the set sysinfo email emailname@IPaddress command. syslog A central TCP/IP host running the SYSLOG daemon. This host is set using the set sysinfo syslog IPaddress command.
Chapter 13 Complete Command List set model model trailer trailerstring set model m7 trailer $FF Set a trailer string to be sent to the printer at the end of any print jobs passing through this model. trailerstring can consist of up to nine elements. An example element is a hexadecimal code (e.g., 0x04) or a pre-defined variable on the print server (e.g., $FF for a formfeed). Use list var to see all available variables. set model from default Set all model settings back to factory defaults.
Set Commands set snmp To add a user named snmp with root privileges, please follow the steps below: 1. Login to the NIC as a root user. 2. Add a user named snmp. set user add snmp 3. Set the user type to root. set user type snmp root 4. Set the password for the snmp user. set user passwd snmp snmppassword 5. Save the changes. save The user snmp is now created and snmppassword is the only community string which will allow write access.
Chapter Note 13 Complete Command List This is not printer or job logging information. set sysinfo logport null|syslog set sysinfo logport null Define where the debugging information should be sent to. This can be sent to an output device off of the NIC I/O port or to a central TCP/IP host running a SYSLOG daemon. To set this host, use the command set sysinfo syslog hostIPaddress. set sysinfo email emailname@IPaddress set sysinfo email joe@192.75.11.
Set Commands set user add|del username set user add eng Add or remove a user on the NIC defined by username. Note Be careful not to delete the root user, or you will be unable to configure any further settings on the print server. You will have to go back to factory defaults to correct this problem. set user passwd username password set user passwd eng mplex1 Assign a password to a defined user on the NIC. This password must be less than eleven characters.
Chapter 13 Complete Command List List Commands These commands list the current or working settings for a particular section within the command shell. To view stored settings in flash memory, you will need to add in stored within the beginning of any of the following commands. For example, list prn shows you the current prn settings but list stored prn shows you the settings sitting in flash memory. Normally these should match.
Debug Commands list test List the status of output tests on the I/O ports. list time List the current time on the NIC. list user List the current user definitions (e.g., user names and types). list var List all pre-defined variables including any newly created ones. Any of these defined variables can be referenced in a string by placing a $ before the variable name (e.g., set model m1 trailer $FF). Debug Commands The debug set of commands help troubleshoot problems that may occur on the NIC.
Chapter 13 Complete Command List debug nest sap Determine whether the NIC is seeing any Novell network activity. debug netbios List NetBIOS (i.e., Windows 95 and WfW) statistics. debug nif List network interface statistics. debug novell List file and print servers. debug tcp List TCP stack statistics. Miscellaneous Commands These commands do not fall under any specific section of the command shell, but they are used quite frequently.
Miscellaneous Commands start fox|tts|loopb prn start fox prn Begin a debugging test on one of the I/O ports on the NIC. The tests available are: fox A continuous stream of text sent to the attached printer. This is a good test for troubleshooting hardware as long as the attached printer supports text output. tts A continuous stream of Gandalf 400C TTS-compatible text sent to the attached printer. loopb Loopback test. Any input characters from the device attached to the I/O port is echoed back.
Chapter Note 13 Complete Command List To use a host or IP name instead of the address, you must have set the DNS server on the NIC. Use the command set sysinfo dns... to do this. chr string Echo string or redirect string to an I/O port using chr string > ioport. keycode Determine the hexadecimal value for a key to be used as the escape character with the NIC built-in telnet command.
14 Extra Features NIC Security There are TCP access lists available to restrict host connections with the device. Users And Passwords By default, the NIC supports two logical user types: root Access to everything within the print server including all configurable settings. guest Ability to list settings only. Using set commands, other users can be created. Passwords can be set for each user type. However, most often you would just set a password for the root user to protect the NIC configuration.
Chapter 14 NIC Security Web Browser 1. Using a Web browser, direct the browser to URL http://P5000LJIPaddress/adminConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/adminConf.html) Note If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the user ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by default. 2. At the “Administration Configuration” HTML form that displays, scroll down to the “Passwords” section. 3.
TCP Access Lists TCP Access Lists Within TCP/IP environments, the NIC can restrict host access to destinations/ queues and remote command (i.e., rsh, rcmd, remsh and telnet) execution services. This is done using an access list similar in function to the Unix .rhosts file. To view the current access list on the print server, complete the steps below. Note Access list settings are not configurable through the HTML forms provided with the NIC. 1. Start a Telnet session with the NIC.
Chapter 14 Printer Monitoring And Logging Printer Monitoring And Logging One of the key aspects of maintaining a computing environment is monitoring printer status and logging this information to useful places. The NIC allows this through its built-in HTML forms, command set, SNMP traps, e-mail alerts, and logpaths.
Printer Logging Through Logpaths Printer Logging Through Logpaths Destinations are logical queues with associated models and logpaths. Models allow extra processing needed with the print jobs. Logpaths are used if logging is desired for each job. Each logpath on the NIC consists of two parts: Type The type of log information to be captured.
Chapter Note 14 NIC Naming Schemes If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by default. Web Browser 1. Using a Web browser, direct the browser to URL http://P5000LJIPaddress/destConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/destConf.html) Note If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by default. 2.
15 Interfaces Overview The printer interface is the point where the data line from the host computer plugs into the printer. The interface processes all communications signals and data to and from the host computer. It consists of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and a connector for the data cable from the host computer. Communication signals and data may be sent over Ethernet, parallel, or serial lines.
Chapter 15 Centronics Parallel Interface Centronics Parallel Interface The Centronics interface enables the printer to operate with controllers designed for buffered Centronics printers. The length of the data cable from the host computer to the printer must not exceed 15 feet (5 meters). Table 18.
Centronics Interface Signals Centronics Interface Signals The Centronics interface signals between the host computer and the printer are defined as follows: Data Lines 1 through 8. Provide eight standard or inverted levels from the host that specify a character or function code. Data Line 8 allows access to the extended ASCII character set. You may enable or disable this line via the Data Bit 8 parameter on the Centronics submenu. Data Strobe. Carries a low true, 100 ns min.
Chapter 15 Bi-Tronics Parallel Interface Bi-Tronics Parallel Interface Bi-Tronics is a parallel interface with bidirectional capabilities. Features include the following: • Timing of the signals has been reduced, thereby speeding data transmission. • • Bidirectional communication. Both the host and the printer can send data. • Less user interaction. The host can ask the printer about printing status and supported features, such as fonts and internal errors.
The Negotiation Phase The Negotiation Phase The negotiation phase determines which operating mode will be used. At this time, the host and the printer will sense what devices are attached, the supported signals available, and which mode to use. The selected mode, in turn, defines the pins on the Bi-Tronics interface connector. There are 36 pins on the parallel interface. Each one sends a different signal. Pin 1, for example, can send a Strobe signal or a HostClk signal, depending on the mode selected.
Chapter 15 Bi-Tronics Parallel Interface Note The length of the data cable from the host computer to the printer should not exceed 10 meters (32 feet). Table 19.
Signals Table 19.
Chapter 15 RS-232 And RS-422 Serial Interfaces The printer interface uses a first-in/first-out buffer. The asynchronous interface accepts data as it is provided by the host. The length of the data cable from the host computer to the printer must not exceed 50 feet (15 meters) for RS-232 or 4000 feet (1220 meters) for RS-422. (A copper conductor, twisted-pair telephone cable with a shunt capacitance of 16 pF/ foot [52.5 pF/meter] terminated in a 100 ohm resistive load must be used for the RS-422.
RS-232 And RS-422 Serial Interface Protocol Data Carrier Detect (DCD). Status signal to the printer. The ON condition is required for the printer to receive data. Data Terminal Ready (DTR). Control signal from the printer. Subject to configuration. RS-422 +RD, -RD. Serial data stream differentially received by printer. +TD, -TD. Differentially driven serial data stream for transmitting status and control information to the host. Subject to protocol selection.
Chapter 15 RS-232 And RS-422 Serial Interfaces RS-232 And RS-422 Serial Interface Configuration By using the control panel, you can verify and change several interface parameters in order to meet specific application requirements.
16 Routine Service And Diagnostics Routine Service Periodic cleaning ensures efficient operation and clear print quality, and it is the only maintenance your printer requires.

B Paper Specifications And Forms Design Introduction P5000LJ Series printers use dot matrix line printing technology, which permits a high degree of printing flexibility. Dot matrix technology enables the user to print graphic images, line drawn characters, special characters, and multiple alphabets. The first section of this appendix lists general specifications for continuous form paper. (Specific brands or types of paper are not recommended.
Appendix B General Paper Specifications Table 25. Paper Sizes Maximum form width 17.0 inches (43.18 cm) edge to edge Minimum form width 3.0 inches (7.62 cm) edge to edge Maximum Printing Width 13.6 inches (34.54 cm) Maximum Right Margin 1 to 13.6 inches (2.54 to 34.54 cm) Maximum Left Margin 0 to 13.5 inches (0 to 34.29 cm) Maximum Form Length 16 inches (40.64 cm) Minimum Form Length 2 inches (5.08 cm) Table 26.
Terms And Definitions Paper Guidelines The terms below describe continuous form paper. Terms And Definitions Chaff Residual bits of paper not completely removed after the punch process that creates tractor pin holes, major and minor perforations, etc. Cut Point The area along a perforation where a cut has been made that extends through the entire form. Cut-to-Tie Ratio The ratio of cut points to tie points occurring along a perforation.
Appendix B Paper Guidelines The figures below illustrate the terms used in this appendix. Side Perforation Margin Area Major Perforation Tractor Pin Hole Print Area Form Span Figure 24. Basic Forms Terminology Side View of Form Printed Side of Form Outward Perforation Inward Perforation Figure 25. Inward and Outward Perforations Perforation Cut Point Tie Point Figure 26.
Environmental Considerations Environmental Considerations Before they are used, forms should be stored for at least 24 hours— preferably 48 hours—in the environment in which they will be used. This stabilizes the moisture content of the paper, resulting in better feeding and stacking. Forms should never be stored in environments that result in damage such as delamination of glues, creasing, folding, etc.
Appendix B Paper Guidelines Specification Inches Millimeters Hole centerline (CL) to edge of form 0.236 ± 0.028 6.0 ± 0.10 Hole Diameter (Serrations or any occlusion due to incorrect registration of multipart forms cannot exceed this dimension.) 0.156 ± 0.004 4.0 ± 0.10 Distance between centers of two consecutive holes 0.500 ± 0.002 12.7 ± 0.05 Maximum deviation of holes from their centerline 0.004 0.10 Maximum deviation of lefthand hole to adjacent righthand hole (CL to CL) 0.006 0.
Chaff Content Preferred Unacceptable Cut Point Tie Point Direction of Forms Movement Cut Point Tie Point Cut-To-Tie Ratio A common cut-to-tie ratio for bond forms is 4:1 (that is, 80% cut to 20% ties). This value is dictated chiefly by the application program under which the form runs. Lower cut-to-tie ratios will yield better form handling, but stacking may suffer due to increased stiffness of the perforations. Some level of experimentation is required to determine the best cut-to-tie ratio.
Appendix B Form Design Checklist Form Design Checklist Use this checklist to help you remember key areas of consideration when designing and ordering forms and paper stocks. Environment ________ Before they are used, forms are given at least 24 hours of condensing time in the environment in which they will be used. ________ Forms are not stored in environments that result in damage such as delamination of glue lines, creasing, folding, etc.
Chaff Content Form Evenness The evenness of the form = ________ (Not to exceed 0.003 in. / 0.00762 cm) Tenting due to buildup of perforation thickness must be minimized. A perforation thickness measured at the major perforation that exceeds 1.25 times the forms thickness measured in the print area will result in an unreliable and unpredictable form. Perforation thickness must not exceed the maximum form thickness of 0.025 in. / 0.0635 cm.
Appendix B Summary Cut-To-Tie Ratio ____:____ (Typical ratio is 4:1, or 80% cut to 20% tie) Thickness Buildup = ________ in. / cm Note A cut-to-tie ratio that causes a thickness buildup greater than 0.025 in. / 0.0635 cm, or that creates an evenness variation greater than 0.003 in. / 0.00762 cm, will result in an unreliable and unpredictable form. Perforation Intersections ________ Horizontal-vertical perforations are tie points. Cut points at such intersections are unacceptable.
Storage And Handling Storage Do not store cartons directly on the floor, and do not stack them more than six high. Set each carton upright and squarely on the one underneath. Do not place anything else on the stack of paper, because this can damage the paper. Preconditioning Forms Protect paper from temperature and humidity extremes. Store paper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before using the paper. This allows the moisture content of the paper to stabilize.

Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000 Monitoring Tools Many tools can be used to monitor printers with SNMP agents. One of these tools is NetView. There are also other MIB browsers, which are not described here. Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000 The AIX NetView/6000 program can manage any IP-addressable device with an SNMP agent. NetView/6000 can be used to set a network topology, monitor a network, diagnose problems, and measure network performance.
