N ETW O R K S ETU P TA S KS  
To begin using the SuperScript Color Laser Printer as a  
network printer follow these tasks:  
IN T R O D U C T IO N  
1. Connect the printer to your network.  
note: If there is an N in the m odel num ber on the  
SuperScript printer, such as 4600N, it already has a  
network interface card (NIC) installed. If it is a printer like  
the 4400, you can purchase a Network Interface Upgrade  
Kit and install a NIC yourself. See Chapter 2 of this users  
guide for instructions.  
O V ER V IEW  
The main purpose of this book is to help the network  
administrator integrate SuperScript Color Laser printers into  
an Ethernet network. The first eight chapters describe setting  
up the printer on traditional networks using such systems as  
NetWare or Windows NT. Chapter 9 describes Web or  
Internet printing using NECs unique PrintAgent software.  
2. Obtain the printers IP address.  
3. Assign the IP address to the printer. (This step is not  
necessary if a DHCP server is present.) See chapter 3 for  
details.  
4. Access the Network Administration page to configure  
the NIC.  
As described in the users guide that came with your  
particular SuperScript color laser printer, each printer comes  
with its own built-in web server and home page. You can set  
up driverless printing and perform network administration  
tasks directly from the printers home page. See Chapter 9 for  
more information on this topic.  
Reconfiguring or modifying the NIC parameters can be  
done using the Network Configuration page or MAP.  
Chapter 4 explains more about this.  
Some simplified instructions are included in this guide, but  
ideally we assume that you have the following:  
5. Configure the network and workstations to use the  
SuperScript Color Laser network printer.  
A working knowledge of your network utilities and  
system.  
After configuring the NIC, you are now ready to setup  
the computer to print. Select your operating system and  
continue configuring your system. The SuperScript CD  
that came with the printer contains network printing  
network protocols.  
The correct network software.  
A completely operational system.  
Access to the supervisor account as a network  
administrator, or access to an account that has supervisor  
privileges.  
From Window s 95/ 98  
If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for  
NetWare 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.  
If you do not have a designated server, you can print  
directly to the network printer using the peer-to-peer  
software provided on the SuperScript CD that came with  
the printer.  
Without a designated network server, you can also set up  
shared printing, see page 25.

From Window s NT 4.0  
10 or fewer computers because peer-to-peer networking  
software limits the number of users attached to any one  
shared resource.  
If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for  
Netware 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.  
In a Windows NT network you can use LPR printing. See  
Chapter 5.  
In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print  
jobs directly to the printer. There is no intermediary  
computer (server) that gets involved between the printer and  
print clients.  
From Window s for Workgroups  
If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for  
Netware 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.  
Each client must compete with other clients for printer  
availability. If the printer is busy processing a print job, each  
client must store their jobs until the printer is ready to accept  
them. However, the printer can be upgraded with more  
memory to temporarily store multiple jobs until they are  
printed. Shown below is an illustration of the peer-to-peer  
topology.  
You can also use shared printing, see Chapter 5.  
From Mac OS  
See Chapter 7 of this users guide to set up and print from  
Macintosh computers over EtherTalk.  
From Unix  
Peer-to-Peer Topology  
See Chapter 8 for installing the printer on a UNIX system in  
Solaris 2.x and SCO.  
An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer and print clients.  
Print clients send print jobs directly to the printer, but each m ust wait  
for printer availability.  
TY P IC A L N ETW O R K S ETU P S  
Typical Ethernet networks fall into basically three different  
categories or topologies. Network topologies describe how a  
network interconnects computers with other equipment such  
as a printer. The following describes three topologies that can  
be used as solutions for networking your printer. For web  
printing options see Chapter 9.  
Print Client  
Note: In this users guide, the term “print client” m eans  
a com puter that can send a print job to the printer.  
Printer  
Types of Netw ork Topologies  
Three networking topologies can be used for networking  
your SuperScript color laser printer.  
Peer-to-Peer Topology  
Printer Server Topology  
Printer Sharing Topology  
Print Client  
Ethernet  
Network  
Peer-to-Peer Topology  
Peer-to-peer topology is the simplest way to network your  
printer. It involves print clients, a printer, and a network to  
interconnect everything. The network operating system  
(NOS) can be Microsoft NT Server, Novell NetWare, or  
UNIX. Peer-to-peer is used primarily in smaller networks of  
A local area network (LAN) interconnects the printer and all  
the print clients. The network can be a 10MB or 100MB  
Ethernet LAN that transports TCP/ IP or IPX protocols.

The printer and each print client use their own network cable  
to connect to the network.  
Printer Server Topology  
An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer, printer  
server, and print clients. Print clients send their print jobs to  
the printer server where they are queued.The server then  
sends the jobs to the printer.The server also controls access to  
the printer.  
Print jobs sent by clients must not pass through a router to  
get to the printer.  
Printer Server Topology  
The printer server topology involves a computer, called a  
printer server. All print clients send their print jobs to the  
printer server. The printer server then sends the jobs to the  
printer. The network operating system (NOS) can be  
Microsoft NT Server, Novell NetWare, or UNIX.  
Ethernet  
Network  
In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print  
jobs directly to a computer that is configured as a printer  
server. The server then sends the jobs to the printer.  
Print Client  
The server can receive and store multiple print jobs; this is  
called queuing. Jobs are sent to the printer in the sequence  
that they are received. This process relieves a client from  
having to process the print job and allows them to focus on  
other computing tasks. The server can also be configured for  
controlling access to the printer and recording all printing  
activity.

Microsoft Printer Sharing Topology  
Printer Sharing Topology  
Microsoft Printer Sharing topology involves a LAN that  
interconnects the print clients. The printer is directly  
connected to one print client using a parallel cable. The client  
then is configured to share its printer. Clients that want to use  
the printer must be configured so they can connect to the  
printer.  
A LAN is used to interconnect the print clients. One print client  
is connected to the printer using a parallel cable, and is also  
configured to share it with other print clients.The sharing client  
can control access to the printer.  
If the sharing client receives a print job while its performing  
other computing tasks, it may slow down. The network  
operating system (NOS) can be Microsoft NT Server, Novell  
NetWare, or UNIX.

What You Will Need  
You will need to provide the following hardware to install  
the NIC in your printer and connect it to your network:  
O V ER V IEW  
If you have an NEC SuperScript™ printer already equipped  
with a Network Interface Card (NIC) there is an N in the  
model number. For example, the SuperScript 4600N. If you  
have a printer without a NIC, such as the SuperScript 4400,  
you can upgrade it by installing a NIC. A NIC is a printed  
circuit board containing hardware for connecting a printer or  
computer to a network.  
A phillips-head screwdriver  
a Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for  
10/ 100Base-T Ethernet®  
The SuperScript Network Interface Upgrade Kit contains a  
NIC that allows you to connect your SuperScript color laser  
printer to a network. This makes it the ideal printer for  
workgroups and small offices.  
note: The NIC autom atically detects whether you have a  
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. For better  
perform ance, NEC recom m ends you use shielded cable  
and connectors when connecting to 100 Mbps Ethernet.  
Installation Steps

Preparing the Printer  
Installing the NIC  
1. Turn off the printer, remove the power cord from the rear  
of the printer, and disconnect the printer cable from the  
port (A). Position the printer so you are facing the side  
and back corner where the cable port is located. Make  
sure that you have enough room to work.  
2. Using a small phillips-head screw driver remove the two  
screws from the Interface Panel (expansion slot) on the  
rear of the printer (B), and pull out the Controller Board.  
These steps are illustrated on the opposite page.  
4. Two posts are used for fastening the NIC to the  
Controller Board. Remove the screw from the lower one,  
loosen the screw of the upper one and rotate the small  
bracket (D). Avoid touching the Controller Board  
circuitry and components!  
5. Remove the NIC from its protective bag (E). Handle the  
NIC only by its edges.  
3. Remove the screw that holds the small 1.5” x 3.75” plate  
over the Network Slot. Remove the plate. Keep the screw  
(C).  
6. Hold the NIC so that its circuitry faces inside the printer  
and its LEDs face the back of the printer. Carefully align  
the standoff pin with the lower right corner of the NIC.  
7. Plug the NICs connector to the Controller Board as  
shown (F).  
8. Use the mounting screws and bracket to fasten the NIC  
to the standoff pins as shown. Attach the screw removed  
from the front in step 3 (G).

The Network Settings Page  
N ETW O R K S ETTIN G S P A G E  
Each time you turn on the networked printer, it prints a  
Network Settings page. The Network Settings page provides  
information about the network printer settings and network  
connections. You should review this page immediately after  
NIC installation and any time you change the configuration  
to verify that the procedure was done properly.  
In the illustration at the right, important features are circled.  
The Print Server Name. (which is also on the back of the  
NIC), is used for printer identification in peer-to-peer and  
NetWare protocols. The Network Address is the hardware  
address or MAC address. The Protocol Address is the IP  
address you assign the printer. You can set a new AppleTalk  
Printer Name using the Apple Printer Utility.

NIC Status Lights  
When the NIC is installed, its two status lights, amber and  
green, are located on the Interface Panel on the back of the  
printer. Light patterns for normal operation are:  
1. Go to the URL Configuration Page, the URL is  
Green light is on solid: This shows normal operation  
while the printer is awaiting print jobs.  
2. Click on the Network Administration link. This displays  
the Network Administration Page.  
3. Click Reset in the System column,  
Am ber light blinks continuously: This shows that the  
NIC is receiving a print job.  
Restoring Factory Default Settings  
Green light blinks 3 tim es and stays on: This occurs  
when the printer has performed a successful self-test. It  
then prints a Network Settings page.  
You can reset the NIC to its factory default settings. This  
means that the NIC clears data such as names and IP  
addresses. It does not lose its serial number or Network  
Address. If you have changed the printers name, it will  
revert to its default name.  
Light patterns that identify error conditions are  
described in Appendix A, “Troubleshooting” see page 57.  
note: You should restore factory defaults when the  
printer is m oved to a different network.  
To reset the NIC to factory default settings  
Go to the Network Administration Page and click Factory  
Defaults in the System column. You will need to enter a  
password (the default is sysadm). Then turn the printer off  
and on again. The Network Administration Page is described  
in Chapter 4.

3. Select Configure from the Admin menu.  
a. Enter the IP address to assign to the printer.  
b. Enter the subnet mask.  
Using ARP  
You can use the following procedure to set the IP address on  
the printer. Then, you can set the other IP parameters from  
the Network Administration page. The network printer must  
be on the same network segment as the workstation that you  
are using to configure it. The TCP/ IP stack must be installed  
and operating.  
c. Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or  
leave blank.  
d. Enter the hardware address of your printer. This  
address is listed on the Network Settings page under  
Network Address, for example,  
1. From Windows, start an MS DOS session.  
2. At the command prompt enter: arp -s  
00:40:af:c9:f0:d8. Enter it exactly as it appears  
on the Network Settings page.  
[IP address] [Hardware Address]  
(for the hardware address, use hyphens as separators,  
instead of colons.)  
(e.g. >C:arp -s 123.123.123.1 00-40-0f-12-  
34-56)  
Then enter ping [IP address]  
(request should time out)  
(e.g. >C:ping 123.123.123.1)  
3. Turn the printer off and on, and use the pingcommand  
again to verify that the printer has its IP address. If it has  
the address, the result is a confirmation message: [IP  
address] is alive  
4. Remove the entry from the ARP cache using this  
command: arp -d [IP address]  
(e.g. >C:arp -d 123.123.123.1)  
4. Click on Go to send the new settings to the printer.  
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but  
possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the  
printer will reset and print a Network Settings page. The new  
IP settings will be listed in the TCP/ IP Network Information  
section of the Network Settings page.  
If the new IP address does not appear on the Network  
Settings page under “Protocol Address,” you may have  
entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTPL32.  
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the new  
Network Settings page.  
The new IP address can also be verified in BOOTPL32 by  
turning the printer off and on, and selecting Verify from the  
Admin menu. It should report that the Unit is Active.

At power-up, the printers NIC broadcasts a DHCP request  
for an IP address. If a DHCP server is present, the request  
will be processed, and an IP address will be returned to the  
NIC. Upon receipt of the IP address, the NIC resets, and  
prints a Network Settings page. This shows the new IP  
address (and subnet mask, and default gateway, if any).  
Under factory default settings, once an IP address has been  
assigned to it, the NIC will no longer broadcast DHCP requests. If  
you uncheck IP Address in NVRAM, in the Network

Novell Connection Information  
The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a  
temporary lease or temporary reservation, which expires  
later, or may grant a permanent or unlimited lease or  
reservation which does not expire.

Peer-to-Peer Connection Information  
Printer Name: NEC_992048  
Devices that are granted a temporary lease will be notified  
before the lease expires and asked if they would like to  
extend the lease. The NIC will continue extending its lease  
indefinitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP server  
configuration), and thus maintain a consistent IP address.

Im portant: If the NIC is not turned on or is not connected to  
the network when the DHCP server is sending requests to extend  
the lease, the lease will not be extended. The DHCP server will  
cancel the lease and may assign the IP address to another device.  
Therefore, it is highly recommended to explicitly specify the NIC  
lease as permanent or unlimited in your DHCP server  
configuration.  
Verify that your printer was assigned an IP address through  
the Network Settings page, then proceed to setting up your  
workstation to use the printer.

lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer  
daemon which lets you print across a TCP/ IP network,  
without the need to install software on your workstation, and  
with all filtering and banners done by the printer. Remote  
printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local  
printing.  
6. lpadmin -p <printername> -T PS [ENTER]  
To test that the printer was installed into the system, send a  
print job using any application in your operating system.  
Make sure that the printer you choose is the SuperScript  
printer that you installed earlier.  
The process begins when the LPRcall finds a printer on a  
remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the  
/etc/printcap file for that printer. LPR handles a print  
job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd  
process on the remote system and sending the data file  
(followed by the control file containing control information  
for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then  
filters the data and prints the job according to information  
contained in the control file and its own printcap file.  
The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions for  
various systems. The SuperScript 4400N printer will be used  
as an example. You must log in as root in order to execute the  
commands.

NEC PrintAgent Pull Printing  
Pull Printing is an ideal solution for busy offices that print  
long, complex, or color rich documents. With Pull Printing,  
your job is sent to a Pull Printing server to be processed. Then  
the Pull Printing server delivers the job to the printer. This  
frees your computer, and reduces network traffic. You can  
also set up a secondary server to deliver printer Help files  
and drivers to users, making the printer more efficient.  
Pull Printing is also called “driverless” printing because you  
dont need a SuperScript Color Laser printer driver on your  
system. You can pull print any Microsoft Word, Excel,  
PowerPoint, .PDF file, or web page without opening it— just  
by sending its location to the Pull Printing server. The server  
does all the work and leaves your computer free for other  
tasks. The second part of this chapter covers the following

Cookies  
The small redipS icon located on the Pull Printing web page  
(below the Print Local File button) can change colors.  
Normally the icon color is green, indicating no errors or  
warnings. A yellow icon indicates a warning, such as “low  
toner.” Under these conditions you can still print. A red icon  
indicates a more serious error, such as “out of paper.” You  
can still send a print job but the driverless server cannot send  
the job until the error is cleared. Until then the job waits in  
the queue.  
If you would like the ability to save your printer settings and  
any watermarks you make, you must accept any cookies we  
set. This also gives you the ability to cancel any print jobs you  
send that are still in the print queue. A cookie is a small piece  
of data that the browser stores on your hard drive. Each  
cookie has a maximum limit of 4 kilobytes. Although  
driverless printing will work if cookies are not accepted, it

Getting Help  
You can distinguish your print job from others if you accept  
the PrintAgent cookies. Your print job will display the name  
of the file or URL you sent, while other print jobs will show  
only the URL of the printer to which the job will be sent. To  
see which printer your jobs will be sent to, place the mouse  
over the icon next to your print job. The name of the printer  
will be displayed, along with the name of the file or URL of  
the web page. It will also signify whether your job is waiting  
to be rasterized or has already been sent to the status  
monitor.

About the Secondary File Server  
The PrintAgent Driver, Help files, and the PrintAgent Core  
software reside on the printer. However, you have the option  
of putting these files on a secondary server and then  
changing the URLs to point to that server. This frees the  
printer to process print jobs.  
When Secondary File Server installation is complete, the  
PrintAgent core files have been copied into the htdocs  
directory, so the Secondary File server is ready to respond to  
file transfer requests. However, if you want the Secondary  
File server to deliver the two server .exe files, you must  
manually copy the files DriverlessServer.exeand  
SecondaryFileServer.exefrom  
<CD-ROM Drive>:\NEC_disk\redips_downloads  
to  
c:\program files\xitami\htdocs\  
redips_downloads  
12. Secondary Server Setup  
The Secondary Server Setup program starts after the Pull  
Printing Setup program is finished.  
13. When installation is complete, restart Windows.  
You can manually copy the Help and Images Folders from  
<CD-ROM drive>:\NEC_disk\ncss44rn  
to  
c:\program files\xitami\htdocs\ncss44rn  
(keeping the directory structures intact.)  
note: You can also install the Secondary Server  
Software from a link on the URL Configuration Page.

Configuring Server URLs  
3. If you have a Secondary File server, enter its IP Address  
as URL for the Driver, Help files, and PrintAgent  
software.  
4. You can also specify any URL as the Home Page for  
clients.  
Once the IP address is assigned to the printer, you can go to  
the printer URL Configuration Page to set URLs for the  
server(s).  
1. Launch your web browser and enter this URL  
5. Click on the Submit Values to Printer button.  
This displays the printers URL Configuration Page.  
2. In the Pull Print server text field, enter the IP Address of  
the Pull Printing server as its URL.  
note: Printer URLs can use either the printers IP  
Address, or the printers Dom ain Nam e, if one has been  
assigned. For exam ple:  
Pull Printing will NOT work unless the Pull Print server  
URL has been entered. The Driver, Help files, and the  
PrintAgent core software reside on the printer, which is  
identified as localhost. However, you have the option  
of putting these files on a Secondary File server and then  
changing the URLs to point to that server.  
Plug Ins  
If you have Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint installed  
on the Pull Printing Server, clients can print Word, Excel, and  
PowerPoint documents from the Pull Printing Page. For  
clients to print .PDF files, Adobe Acrobat Reader must be  
installed on the Pull Printing Server. Acrobat Reader is  
provided on the CD that came with your SuperScript printer.

Check Hardw are Connections  
A P P EN D IX A  
Be sure that your cable is a Category 5 twisted pair cable  
with RJ-45 connectors for 10/ 100Base-T ethernet.  
T R O U B LE S H O O T IN G  
Check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ-  
45 connector on the NIC.  
Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad  
cable.  
N e t w o r k P r in t in g P r o b le m s  
Use the checklists in this section to identify the cause of  
network printing problems. If a problem persists, contact  
NEC Printer Technical Support at NecTechs web site  
(www.nectech.com) or phone 1-800-632-4650.  
If you are using a 10/ 100Base-T concentrator hub that  
does not support the link signal, use Manual Ethernet  
Port selection instead of the factory default, Automatic  
Ethernet Port selection.  
Check the Printer Operation  
Verify that the printer is plugged in, turned on, and online—  
the green Online light on the Operator Panel should be lit, or  
nothing will print.  
Check NIC Status Lights  
Check the NICs status lights to ensure that there is no error  
condition. The two status lights, amber and green, are located  
on the interface panel on the back of the printer. The green  
light should be lit and steady. Light patterns that indicate  
serious hardware problems or software errors are shown  
below. If you see one of these patterns, you should contact  
NEC Printer Technical Support.  
Check the Netw ork Settings Page  
On power-up, the network printer produces a Network  
Settings page which has useful information for  
troubleshooting. Check the Network Settings page to see  
which protocols are enabled and active. Confirm that the  
network protocol you configured appears on the page. If not,  
it should be reconfigured correctly for the network printer.  
Green light blinks rapidly: This occurs when the  
printer performs a self-test and detects bad SIMM.  
Green light blinks rapidly 4 tim es, pauses: This  
occurs when the printer performs a self-test and detects a  
problem in the Ethernet hardware.  
Check other Netw ork Users  
Determine if other network users can print. If they cannot  
and they are all on the same network operating system, the  
problem is most likely in the network configuration.  
Am ber light blinks short for 10 seconds, then goes  
out, and the green light blinks continuously: This  
occurs when the printer performs a flash memory self-  
test and the checksum fails.  
Review Recent System Changes  
Verify that any hardware changes (installations,  
modifications, removals), to the printer or network, were  
done correctly. If you added a new software application,  
make sure the program is compatible and installed correctly  
on the network.  
Green light blinks slow ly: When this happens after  
power-on completes, it indicates an interface error.  
Green light blinks rapidly: When this happens while  
the printer awaits print jobs, it indicates that the NetWare  
connection has been lost.  
Green and am ber lights blink alternately: This would  
occur when you turn on the printer after restoring  
factory defaults, and indicates an error.

Troubleshooting for NT Server  
If you have a problem printing large files from the Pull  
Printing server the problem may be that the server “timed  
out.” If this is the case help can be found by accessing the  
following URL:  
Is the application set up to print to the printer? Are you  
using the correct driver?  
Is the workstation connected to the correct print queue?  
Print a file and verify that the file goes to the queue.  
articles/Q209/3/91.asp  
Are the print queues assigned to the NIC-connected  
printer also assigned to another network printer? If they  
are, the print jobs may be going to that printer.  
Troubleshooting for NetWare  
Is AUTO ENDCAP enabled? AUTO ENDCAP lets you  
send data to a network printer. If it is not enabled, enable  
it.  
Use the Network Administration page options to  
troubleshoot in an IPX environment. The checklists in this  
section show what to look for. If you are still having  
problems phone NecTech support at 1-800-632-4650.  
Are text files printing but graphic files not? The printing  
may be timing out. Use NetWare's PRINTCON or  
CAPTURE to set a longer timeout period. Set the time to  
at least two minutes for graphics applications.  
NetWare Checklist  
Is the NIC name entered correctly? The factory-default  
name is NEC_<serial number>  
The serial number is on the back of the NIC and also  
shown at the top of the Network Settings page.  
NIC Configuration Checklist  
If all your hardware connections are correct, check the  
following  
Did you assign print queues to the printer? It is  
recommended you assign each print queue to a specific  
printer NIC. If print queues are assigned to other  
network printers, the print jobs may be going to another  
network printer.  
The Network Settings page shows the status for the  
selected network interface card. This report includes the  
status of file servers and queues assigned to a printer  
along with a description of any problems.  
Did you assign the printer to the type Remote Other /  
Unknown?  
The printer may not be assigned to the correct print  
queues. Use PCONSOLE to direct print jobs to the correct  
queues, then check to see if the print job is in the queue.  
If the PCONSOLE NWAdmin settings are correct, the  
connection between the printer and network may have been  
broken. Turn the printer off and, using PCONSOLE, wait for  
the status message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and  
the status should change to Waiting for Job.  
If devices were added or changed, use PCONSOLE to  
make sure you configured the new devices correctly.  
Make sure the printer name has been entered correctly. If  
you changed the name using the NIC Home Page, you  
must also change the name in PCONSOLE.  
File Server Checklist  
Is there enough disk space on the file server and is it  
running?  
You cannot use PCONSOLE Version 1.0 to configure the  
NIC. Contact Novell for an upgrade.  
Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use  
PCONSOLE to check.  
Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer?  
Com puter Checklist

NIC/ File Server/ Printer Checklist  
Troubleshooting for MacOS  
Check the following to see if the NIC and file server are  
sending data to the printer. If the NIC cannot log onto the file  
server, or cannot service jobs from a file server  
Is the Macintosh computer connected to the network  
through Ethernet, and has the correct network port been  
selected?  
The network printer is not created on that file server. Use  
PCONSOLE to create the print server on the correct file  
server.  
Did you select the correct printer driver, zone, and  
printer name in the Chooser?  
If you renamed the printer in the Apple Utility, you must  
turn the printer off then on, and then reselect the printer  
under its new name in the Chooser.  
Use PCONSOLE to check if the print jobs are being sent  
to the printer. Be sure the print job is in the print queue  
and waiting to be printed.  
If you placed the printer in a new zone, be sure you  
reselected the zone and the printer name in the Chooser.  
Com puter to NIC Connection Checklist  
To make sure the computer is communicating with the NIC,  
perform these tests.  
In the following example the printers name changed.  
The default name for the printer is SuperScript 4600N #,  
where # is the sequential number of 4600N printers  
installed. If a user changes the name of SuperScript 4600  
2 to Marys Printer, the last printer in line will be  
reassigned the name Superscript 4600 2, and the print  
path must be changed using the Chooser for the system  
to work again.  
Print a file from the workstation and make sure the print  
job gets to the print queue using PCONSOLE. If the print  
job does get to the queue, the problem is not with the  
workstation/ NIC connection.  
Use CAPTURE to send data to the printer from a  
workstation software application. See your NetWare  
print server manual for information.  
Make sure another printer is not taking the print jobs  
from the queues before the NIC can service the job. To do  
this, disable the other printer and send another  
print job.  
NIC Loses Its File Server Connection: If the network  
printer loses its connection to the file server, it will take  
approximately five to 10 minutes to reconnect. If the  
connection is not made after a reasonable amount of  
time, check the error conditions to troubleshoot the  
problem.  
Unable to Print from a Different Context: The NIC  
does not support printing from a context other than the  
one you specified using the MAP utility on your Web  
browser. To do this, you must create an alias queue. See  
your NetWare Manual for more info.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)  
Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation  
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that  
the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.  
Ozone Em ission  
The corona assemblies found in laser printers and  
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely  
confined within protective housings and external covers, the  
laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase  
of user operation.  
photocopiers generate ozone gas (O ) as a by-product of the  
electrophotographic process. Ozone is only generated while  
the printer is printing (while the coronas are energized).

UL Standards for Ozone  
CDRH Regulations  
The only existing standard for ozone emissions has been  
established by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All  
SuperScript family printers meet this standard when shipped  
from the factory to our customers.  
The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of  
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented  
regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These  
regulations apply to laser products manufactured after  
August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products  
marketed in the United States. The printers rear panel  
indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must  
be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.  
Em ployer Responsibilities  
Because ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencies  
have established limits to the amount of ozone to which  
employees may be exposed. The employer is responsible for  
providing a safe work environment that meets the agencies’  
standards.  
Caution! Use of controls, adjustm ents, or  
perform ance of procedures other than those  
specified in this users guide m ay result in  
hazardous radiation exposure.  
Recom m endations for Minim izing Ozone Exposure  
Almost all ozone concerns arise from abnormal site or  
operating conditions. The following conditions may generate  
an ozone complaint:
