CONFIGURATION
Introduction
The OkiLAN 7120e is a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface card
for a range of Oki printers. This user’s guide explains the functionality of
the OkiLAN 7120e.
Access for interconnection and producing self-diagnostic test and
configuration printouts is provided via an interface panel at the rear of the
printer.
This network interface card supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-II
and SNAP and can detect those frame types automatically.
Also, the interface card supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX
(NetWare) and NetBEUI.
This section details the OkiLAN 7120e specification and several software
utilities.

MICROSOFT WINDOWS
Overview
This section provides guidelines on how to print over the network from
various Microsoft Windows platforms. There are numerous ways of printing
from Windows and the exact set-up will vary depending upon your
environment. There are also numerous versions of Windows, which can be
configured as either a client, server or both.
Although there are many variants of Windows, the principles of network
printing are the same. Microsoft provides on-line help with all of their
operating systems and this is a good reference point for the exact details
of each configuration option within Windows.
The network printer supports the following protocols that can be used in
conjunction with the Windows operating system:

Novell Netware IPX
IPX is used with Novell NetWare. The OkiLAN 7120e supports Novell 3, 4,
5 and 6, and allows print jobs to be directed to the appropriate Novell print
queue. Please refer to the relevant section of this manual for additional
information.
NetBEUI Protocol
NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups or
LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing
between computers. It provides a simple method of printing but the
protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX.
Typically it is employed in small or home networks.
Network Printer Settings
There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer.
These can be configured using the standard set-up utility described
earlier.
Computer Name:
Workgroup:

NOVELL NETWARE
Overview
The OkiLAN 7120e supports the Novell NetWare environment.
It is necessary to have NetWare Administrator or Supervisor rights to
change the configuration. This guide is for NetWare administrators. It
should be read in conjunction with the relevant Novell NetWare manual.
The latest Novell service packs and Novell client versions should be
installed.
Supported Versions and Modes
NetWare 3.11 +
NetWare 4.1+
NetWare 5+
NetWare 6
Bindery
Bindery and NDS
Bindery, NDS and NDPS
Bindery, NDS, NDPS and iPrint
In NDS, the printer can be configured to work in either print server mode
or remote printer mode.
Remote Printer Mode
Remote Printer Mode requires a connection to be made to a workstation
running Pserver. Print jobs are received from the file server via the
NetWare print server. The network interface card emulates the
workstation on which the NetWare Rprinter operates. Remote Printer Mode
adds additional traffic to the network and is slower than Print Server Mode
but does not require any additional licences.
Print Server Mode (Recommended)
In Print Server Mode, the file server is logged in and the printer queue is
repeatedly polled to determine whether a print job exists. The NetWare
print server or workstation where Pserver runs is emulated. This enables
high speed printing without applying a load to the network. Print Server
Mode requires a single user NetWare licence.
Printing the Network Interface Card Configuration Sheet
The printer’s configuration page reports information required for NetWare
configuration. To print this page, with the printer is switched on, depress
the NIC’s push-button for three seconds and then release.
The information you require is the printer’s Ethernet address. The first six
characters of the Ethernet address are the same for all OkiLAN 7120e
network cards. The last six characters are unique to each card. This is all
the information that is required to setup the OkiLAN7120e for NetWare.

Setup Utilities
Use NWAdmin32 or the Pconsole utility to create and setup NetWare
printer objects. Please refer to Novell documentation for instructions on
how to achieve this.
Use the Oki Network Card Setup Utility (AdminManager) or other printer
manager software, (Web browser, JetAdmin, etc.) to configure the
network interface card. For instructions please refer to the Configuration
Utility section and online help. Below is the NetWare configuration page
from AdminManager.
OKI NDPS Gateway
OKI provide a gateway for NDPS. Gateways allow NDPS clients to send
jobs to printers that are not NDPS-aware (that is, printers that are not
equipped with embedded NDPS Printer Agents). You select and configure
a printer gateway when you create a new Printer Agent.
Gateways translate NDPS queries or commands to printer-specific
language that the physical printer can use. This is possible because
gateways are configured to know the specific type (make and model) of
printer being used. The following diagram illustrates a typical gateway
configuration.
The Oki NDPS Gateway can be installed from the OkiLAN 7120e CD under
Software Utilities. Please follow on-screen instructions. You will require a
drive mapping to the NetWare server that you are installing to.

>
During installation, all files are copied to the SYS:/SYSTEM and
SYS:/PUBLIC/WIN32 directories on the NetWare server
1. To set up the OkiLAN
7120e to work with the
OKI NDPS Gateway, you
should create a NDPS
printer object as normal
with the nwadmin32
utility. When you get to
the [Create Printer Agent]
screen, under [Gateway
Types] there should now
be an option for OKI NDPS
Gateway.
2. Select this and click [OK] to continue. Click [Next] on the
Gateway Configuration Welcome screen, then select Printer
Interface Type, either TCP/IP LPR or NetWare IPX and click
[Next] to continue. (TCP/IP configuration illustrated.)
You will then be requested to enter either the TCP/IP or IPX ad-
dress, depending on the type of interface selected in the pre-
vious screen. If you do not know the address, you are given
the option to search on the network.
Once you have correctly input your network address you will
be prompted with a [Results] and then a [Summary] screen.
3. Press the [Finish] button on the [Summary] screen so the
NDPS Printer object has now been created and is configured

to use the Oki NDPS Gateway. Illustrated here is the Printer
Control screen for the completed printer.
iPrint
iPrint is included in NetWare 6 and is
Novell’s next generation of printing
software. It is Novell’s implementation of
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). iPrint allows
users to install, manage and print to
printers through Web browsers regardless
of where the printer is physically located or
whether they know the printer’s network
address. iPrint runs on top of Novell
Distributed Print Services (NDPS) and provides the following functionality:
>
>
>
>
Global access to printers.
Customizable view of any print environment.
Flexible print deployment configurations.
Secure printing.
The OkiLAN 7120e does not require any custom configuration for iPrint. To
enable and configure the iPrint service on your network, please refer to
your Novell NetWare 6 documentation.

UNIX
Overview
The OkiLAN 7120e supports many protocols such as LPD, FTP, TELNET,
SNMP and IPP, and works within the UNIX environment.
To use the network card within the UNIX environment, the following steps
are required:
Configuration
Network Interface card setting
The first step in installing the network card under UNIX is to set up the IP
address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This section explains one way to set
them up from a UNIX workstation.
>
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as
examples only. Network addresses used in your installation
must be generated for your own network.
>
>
Login as [root] to change the configuration of the OkiLAN
7120e.
If an incorrect IP address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is
entered, the network may go down or other damage may
occur. Check the address with your network manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (Solaris 8) as an example.
The actual commands may differ between versions of UNIX, so refer to the
workstation manuals for more information.
1. Log in as [root] to the workstation
>
If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should
conduct the configuration.
2. If the OkiLAN 7120e does not have an IP address already
assigned, use the arp command to set a temporary IP
address.
Example: for IP address 192.68.20.127 and network card address
00:80:87:01:00:D2
# arp –s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2 temp
The Ethernet (MAC) address 00:80:87:01:00:D2 in the above example
can be determined from the network card self-diagnostic test.

3. Use the ping command to confirm the connection with the
card.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127
# ping 192.168.20.127
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has already been set manually or dynamically), or
with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and
try to set a temporary IP address.
If you still have the problem after resetting the card, consult your network
manager.
4. Login to the network interface card using TELNET.
Example: Logging in to IP address 192.168.20.127
# telnet 192.168.20.127
Trying 192.168.20.127
Connected to 192.168.20.127

Sun Solaris 2.8 configuration
Admintool is normally used to register remote printers on Open Windows.
However, it cannot be used here, as the data recipient and queue have the
same name. The procedure below must be used for registering a remote
printer.
If Sun Solaris is connected to the remote printer for a long period
according to the system specifications, errors and forced disconnection
may occur. Therefore, if paper tearing, off-line and other errors result in
waiting time, printing may have to be aborted.
if an incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other
damage may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (better known as Solaris 8)
and an ML8810 printer as examples. The absolute path and method of
configuring commands may differ between OS versions. Refer to the
workstation manuals for more details.
The queue created in the following example sends the print job directly to
the printer. To print data that the printer cannot process (such as
PostScript data), refer to the workstation manual for details.
1. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set.
2. Login as [root] to the workstation. If you do not have
superuser rights, the network manager should conduct the
configuration.
3. Register the IP address of the network card and the host
name in /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.20.127 and host name ML8810
192.168.20.127 ML8810
4. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name ML8810
# ping ML8810
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has already been set manually or dynamically), or
with the network.
Reset the network interface card settings to default and try to set a
temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the
network interface card, consult the network manager.

AIX 4.1.5 configuration
The following explanation uses AIX4.1.5 and a ML8810 printer as
examples. The absolute path of commands and the method of configuring
may differ with the OS version. Refer to the workstation’s manual. If an
incorrect IP address is entered, the network may go down or other damage
may occur. Configure after consulting the network manager.
1. Log in as [root]. If you do not have superuser rights, the
network manager should conduct the configuration.
2. Register the IP address and the host name in the /etc/hosts
file.
Example: for IP Address 192.168.29.127 and host name ML8810
192.168.20.127 ML8810
3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the
network card.
Example: for host name ML8810
# ping ML8810
If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP
address (the IP address has already been set manually or dynamically), or
with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to default and
try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after
resetting, consult the network manager.
4. Register the host that was previously registered as the print
server.
Example: for the ML8810 registered as the print server
a. Add the print server.
# ruser –a –p ML8810
b. Activate the remote printer daemon.
# startsrc –s lpd
# mkitab ‘lpd:2:once:startsrc –s lpd’
5. Add the print queue using the smit command.
a. Activate the smit command and convert to the item [Add print
queue].

b. Select [remote] (the printer connected to the remote host) from
[Type of connection].
c. Select [Standard procedure] from Type of remote print.
d. Carry out the following settings in [Add a standard remote print
queue]. If the configuration differs from below, configure
according to environment.

LPD Printing
Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is the most common protocol for printing with
TCP/IP to a network printer. Refer to the workstation’s manual for details
of lpr and lp commands. The following explanation in this section uses the
printing of print file test.prn with printer name ML8810_lp as an example.
Logical printers
The OkiLAN 7120e includes three logical printers.
>
>
>
lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer driver.
sjis must be used for printing a text file of Shift JIS Kanji code.
euc must be used for the printing a text file of the EUC Kanji code.
Logical printer
Printer function
lp
For direct output
sjis
euc
For Shift JIS Kanji converted output
For EUC Kanji converted output
>
sjis and euc function only as PostScript printers.
BSD-based UNIX
Print using the lpr command.
# lpr –PML8810_lp test.prn
If the lprm command is used, the print job is cancelled.

Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 123) on the ML8810_lp
# lprm –PML8810_lp 123
Verify the printer status using the lpq command.
>
The result of lpq may not be displayed correctly depending on
UNIX operating system specification.
>
While the short format of lpq is a UNIX compatible format, the
long format is unique to the OkiLAN 7120e.
Example of the short format: # lpq –PML8810_lp
Example of the long format: # lpq –l -PML8810_lp
System V-based UNIX
Print using the lp command.
# lp –d ML8810_lp test.prn
Delete a print job using cancel command.
Example: To delete a print job (Job ID 456) in the ML8810_lp
# cancel ML8810_lp -456
Verify the printer status using the lpstat command.
# lpstat –pML8810_lp
>
The result of lpstat may not be displayed correctly depending
on UNIX operating system specification (e.g. Solaris 2.x).
FTP printing
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring a file with TCP/IP. If the
print data is sent to a logical printer via FTP, it is printed.
Refer to the workstation’s manual for details of the ftp command. The
following explanation uses print file test.prn with printer name ML8810_lp
as an example.
Logical directories
OkiLAN 7120e includes three logical directories.
lp must be used for printing a file created using the printer driver.
sjis must be used for printing a text file of Shift JIS Kanji code.

jis and euc function only as PostScript printers.
You can not send data to the root directory.
1. Login to the network interface card.
When printing with ftp, use any values for name and password. However,
if the user name is [root], the password set under TELNET or the utility is
required. See the appropriate section for details.
Example: Logging in with host name ML8810 (or IP address
192.168.20.127).
# ftp ML8810 (or ftp 192.168.20.127
Connected to ML8810

Password:<CR>
230 User Logged in
ftp>
The network card logical directory structure is hierarchical. Move to the logical
directory; it is not possible to output print data to the root directory.
2. Move to the preferable logical directory using the cd
command.
Example: moving to the lp directory and confirming the current directory.
ftp> cd /lp
250 Command OK.
ftp> pwd
257 ”/lp” is current directory
ftp>
3. Configure the transfer mode
There are two types of transfer mode: BINARY mode, in which the file
content is output as it is and ASCII mode, which converts the LF code to
the CR+LF code. If a binary file converted by the printer driver is
transferred, the transfer mode has to be BINARY mode.

Example: changing transfer mode to binary mode and verifying the
current mode
ftp> type binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> type
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>
4. Transfer the print data to the network card using the put
command. Two methods of file transfer using the put
command are available.
Example: transferring print data test.prn
ftp> put test.prn
Example: transferring print data specified by absolute path/users/test/
test.prn
ftp> put /users/test/test.prn /lp
5. Logout from the network card using the quit command
ftp> quit
Three states can be verified using the quote command stat: the IP address,
login user name and transfer mode. In addition, printer status can be
verified by specifying the directory after the stat (lp, sjis, euc).
Example: displaying network card status
ftp> quote stat
211-FTP server status:
Connected to: 192.168.20.10.000.00
User logged in: root
Transfer type: BINARY
Data connection: Closed.
211 End of status.
ftp>
Example: displaying the network card status (directory name: lp)
ftp> quote stat /lp
211-FTP directory status:
Ready
211 End of status
ftp>
