CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

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 NetWare or Windows NT. Chapter 9 describes Web or Internet printing using NEC’s unique PrintAgent software.

As described in the user’s guide that came with your particular SuperScript color laser printer, each printer comes with its own built-in web server and home page. You can set up driverless printing and perform network administration tasks directly from the printer’s home page. See Chapter 9 for more information on this topic.

Some simplified instructions are included in this guide, but ideally we assume that you have the following:

•A working knowledge of your network utilities and system.

•The correct network software.

•A completely operational system.

•Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator, or access to an account that has supervisor privileges.

NETWORK SETUP TASKS

To begin using the SuperScript Color Laser Printer as a network printer follow these tasks:

1.Connect the printer to your network.

note: If there is an N in the model number on the SuperScript printer, such as 4600N, it already has a network interface card (NIC) installed. If it is a printer like the 4400, you can purchase a Network Interface Upgrade Kit and install a NIC yourself. See Chapter 2 of this user’s guide for instructions.

2.Obtain the printer’s IP address.

3.Assign the IP address to the printer. (This step is not necessary if a DHCP server is present.) See chapter 3 for details.

4.Access the Network Administration page to configure the NIC.

Reconfiguring or modifying the NIC parameters can be done using the Network Configuration page or MAP. Chapter 4 explains more about this.

5.Configure the network and workstations to use the SuperScript Color Laser network printer.

After configuring the NIC, you are now ready to setup the computer to print. Select your operating system and continue configuring your system. The SuperScript CD that came with the printer contains network printing tools to support the following operating systems and network protocols.

From Windows 95/98

•If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for NetWare 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.

•If you do not have a designated server, you can print directly to the network printer using the peer-to-peer software provided on the SuperScript CD that came with the printer.

•Without a designated network server, you can also set up shared printing, see page 25.
