Appendix A NIC Services

Overview

A service is a resource for the Kodak Professional network interface card (NIC) that must be selected by computers configured to print to a NIC. The NIC provides the following predefined services as defaults (xxxxxx is the last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address):

Use the default services for the NIC used in typical Windows and Macintosh networked environments. However, it may be desirable to modify a service name to reflect something more meaningful to users when browsing a network for a Kodak printer.

Service TEXT_P1 is not applicable to Kodak PostScript/raster printers and should not be used.

Port P1 is the representation of the NIC’s interface port to the printer. Since there is only one interface, P1 is the only option.

Filter 0 = No filter. The AppleTalk filter (#2) is the only pertinent filter that must be used to define an AppleTalk compatible service, KOD_xxxxxx_P1_AT.

BOT & EOT = 1 = “Null String”. This means that there are no Beginning or End Of Transfer command strings associated with any of the default services.

Options = Bidirectional and queueing are enabled for all services.
