Attaching Network Print Server
The Network Print Server feature eliminates the need for third party Token-Ringand
Ethernet attachments. The servers contain the intelligence needed to make your
printer fully accessible to all network users. Its multiple protocol support lets you
print from Novell NetWare, IBM LAN Server,IBM AIX, and other TCP/IP networks.
The Network Print Server has its own unique network address, and interprets data
transmitted on the network to the print data stream used by the 4247 Printer. There
are four servers available for attachment to your printer:
vEthernet 10BaseT (RJ45)
vEthernet 10Base2 (BNC)
vToken-RingMedia Type 1 (with 9-pin, D-sub connector)
vToken-RingMedia Type 3 (RJ45 unshielded twisted-pair)
The Network Print Server feature plugs directly into the printer’s parallel port. To
install your server, perform the following:
Ethernet 10BaseT or 10Base2
