IPX Protocol Installation
The IPX protocol is required for peer to peer printing. IPX is not installed by default
when Windows 95 is first installed, but it can be easily added using the following
procedure.
1. Click on the Windows 95 Start button and select Settings, Control Panel,
Network.
2. Check to see if IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol is displayed on the list of network
components. If it is on the list, IPX is already installed. Please continue with the
next section. If it is NOT on the list, click on Add.
3. Double click on Protocol, click on Microsoft, and double click on IPX/SPX-
compatible Protocol. Windows 95 will prompt for the required Windows disks
to install the IPX protocol.
4. Once the files are copied, click on OK to close the network control panel.
Windows 95 will prompt to restart the system. The IPX protocol will not be active
until the system is restarted.
Peer to Peer Printing Software Installation
1. Install and Run the Peer to Peer Software.
The peer to peer printing software should be installed on each Windows 95 PC
that will use peer to peer printing services. The peer to peer printing software is
on the diskette labelled Win95 and NT Windows Redirector which is included
with the EcoLAN 1000E. Follow the instructions on the diskette label to install
the peer to peer printing software onto your system.
2. Select the Printer Port.
If the printer driver has not already been installed, please install it from the CD
which is shipped with the printer before continuing with the following instructions.
➪Click on the Windows 95 Start button and select Settings, then Printers.
➪Right click on the appropriate printer driver and select Properties from the
menu.
➪Select the Details tab and click on the down arrow beside the Print to the
following port: field to display the list of available ports.
➪Select the 1000E from the list of ports and click on OK. The 1000E is
displayed by its NetWare Print Server Name, e.g., the default name is in the
format KYO-163495.
➪Peer to peer printing configuration is complete. Print jobs will now be
directed to this 1000E when the current printer driver is used.
