Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 10-1
10 Windows NT 4.0 Workstations and Servers
Network Interface Card /Printer Installation Overview
Section 1: Determine the network protocol(s) to be used for
communicating to the Network Interface Card/printer, the
workstation platform(s) that will be used for creating and sending
jobs to the printer, and any servers that will be used to spool and
manage jobs sent to corresponding printer queues.
Section 2: Install the hardware for the Network Interface Card in
the Kodak printer.
Chapter 3: Install the software for the Network Interface Card.
NOTE:It is not necessar y to install software to use the
Network Interface Card.
Section 4: Configure network printer parameters, if necessary.
Some are programmable from the printer’s front display/control
panel, and others are programmable by downloading PostScript
command files.
NOTE:We recommend that you use the default parameters
initially until the printer is functional on your network.
Section 5: Determine the printer modes of operation (PostScript
and/or Raster) to be used based on the model of printer. Install
the corresponding PostScript and/or Raster mode software. For
print servers (indirect printing), configure the printer on a
pertinent server platform using the desired protocol.
For user workstations, configure the printer to use a server’s print
queue (indirect printing) or to print directly to the printer (direct
printing) using the desired protocol.
Network Service and Protocol Installation
With Windows NT 3.51 Workstation and Server, an administrator
must configure the printer and select a mechanism to use for
printing.
Windows NT supports network printing utilizing TCP/IP, AppleTalk
and/or Novel Netware IPX protocols. Using the Network Control
Panel, the appropriate Services (TCP/IP) and/ or Protocol
(AppleTalk) support must be installed prior to configuring printers.
