Configuring for TCP/IP

Configuring Unix Systems for TCP/IP Printing

Refer to notes on Unix support at the beginning of this chapter regarding support for Unix platforms.

Assign an IP address to the printer (NIC) using the printer’s front control panel or by using utilities described in the “Using Configuration Utilities.”

The configuration procedure for Unix TCP/IP printing includes the following steps on a Unix workstation:

Adding the 8670 printer to the host table.

Assigning a print queue.

Setting up the remote printer.

Creating a spool directory.

Adding the Kodak Printer to the Host Table

Use an editor to add an entry to the hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the NIC. An example of an IP address and node are:

1982.189.207.3 KOD_00C351

NOTE: Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. In this case you do not need to configure the /etc/ hosts file.

Assigning a Print Queue

Choose the NIC service you wish to use.

Setting Up the Remote Printer

Modify the /etc/printcap file to set up the remote printer for most Unix systems. If you have an RS/6000 AIX, HP/US, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file, skip to the appropriate section for the Unix system you have to configure the Unix workstations for TCP/IP.

8660, 8670 specifications

The Kodak 8670 and 8660 are notable models in Kodak's line of advanced document scanners designed to optimize productivity and streamline workflow in various professional settings. These devices cater to businesses that require reliable and high-quality document processing capabilities.

One of the main features of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 scanners is their exceptional speed. Both models are equipped with a powerful optical scanning engine that allows them to scan up to 70 pages per minute (ppm) for double-sided documents. This high speed ensures that even large volumes of paperwork can be processed efficiently, making these scanners ideal for busy offices and organizations that handle significant amounts of documentation.

The advanced image processing capabilities of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 enhance scanned images' quality, providing clarity and reducing the need for rescans. With features like automatic color detection, and image enhancement technologies such as de-skewing and background removal, these scanners ensure that each image is captured accurately and with minimal manual intervention.

Connectivity is a critical feature of both models. They come equipped with USB 3.0 interfaces, allowing for high-speed data transfer to connected devices. Additionally, these scanners support versatile networking options, including Ethernet connectivity, making them suitable for shared environments where multiple users can access the device seamlessly.

The user-friendly design of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 includes an intuitive control panel that allows for easy operation. The scanners are also compatible with Kodak's Smart Touch feature, enabling users to configure custom workflows and automate repetitive tasks. This feature enhances productivity by allowing users to scan and send documents directly to various destinations, including email, cloud storage, or network folders.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Kodak 8670 and 8660 is their robust paper handling capabilities. These scanners can handle various media types, including thick card stock and embossed documents, making them versatile for multiple scanning applications.

In terms of software integration, both models are compatible with Kodak's powerful Capture Pro Software, enabling users to harness the full potential of the scanners. This software offers tools for document management, OCR (optical character recognition), and advanced indexing, allowing businesses to enhance their document processing workflows further.

With their combination of speed, advanced image processing, and user-friendly features, the Kodak 8670 and 8660 scanners stand out as efficient solutions for organizations looking to enhance their document handling capabilities. These models exemplify Kodak’s commitment to innovation and performance in the field of document scanning technology.
