Installing the Hardware
Making the Jumper Selections
JP1/JP2 Factory Settings (Both Jumpers On)
JP1 and JP2 are two small black jumpers near the right side in
the middle of the Network Interface Card. When the card is
shipped, each jumper is positioned across both sets of pins (ON).
This allows for both remote Telnet diagnostic monitoring and
normal operation/printing with 10BaseT.
Cable Autodetection (Both Jumpers Off)
The connection autosensing feature automatically senses the
presence of a 10BaseT connection. If no 10BaseT connection is
sensed, a 10Base2 (BNC) connection is assumed. However,
Telnet capability is disabled.
JP1/JP2 - selection of cable connection manually
Telnet and cable autodetection modes are the recommended use
of the JP1/JP2 jumpers.
However, the cable type can also be selected manually. The
jumpers are positioned to match the locations of the two ports. If
you look at the Network Interface Card ports on the back of the
printer, the right port is for twisted pair, 10BaseT (RJ45) cabling.
The right jumper corresponds to that connector and is labeled
JP1. The left port is for ThinNet, 10Base2 (BNC) cabling. The left
jumper corresponds to that connector, and is labeled JP2.
• For manual selection, lift the jumper for the appropriate
cable connector up and off the pin and then push it back
down over both pins.This specifies the particular connector
that will be in use.
NOTE: Move only the jumper for the cable connector type that
will be used. The other jumper must remain on one pin.

Installing the Hardware
The enlarged view in the illustration shows the jumper labeling as
viewed from behind the printer looking toward the front.
LINK Jumper Selection (Non-10BaseT)
NOTE: Complete these steps only if link test integrity needs to
be enabled and your cabling is non-10BaseT.
If you have non-10BaseT twisted pair cabling, such as AT&T or
HP STARLAN, you may need to enable the link test integrity
function from the 10BaseT transceiver by changing the LINK
jumper on the Network Interface Card.
1. Find the small black jumper labeled “LINK” near the right front
side of the Network Interface Card.
This is the LINK jumper. When the Network Interface Card is
shipped, this jumper is positioned on only one of the two pins.
This specifies that the link test integrity is disabled.
2. Lift the black jumper up and off the pin and then push it back
down over both pins.

Network Printer Parameters
4 Network Printer Parameters
This section discusses parameters within the printer related to
IPX, AppleTalk and TCP/IP network protocols and methods for
modifying parameters from both Macintosh and PC platforms.
We recommend that you use the default parameters where
applicable and especially when troubleshooting configuration
problems.
Modifying Printer Parameters
You can change some parameters from the printer’s front display/
control panel and others by downloading PostScript command
jobs to the printer.You can download PostScript command files by
doing the following:
•
From a Macintosh over a Network or by using LocalTalk—You
can download the pertinent control <filename>.ps using the
LaserWriter Font Utility.
•
From Windows through a network port—With DOS
commands, you can map a network queue to an LPT port by
using Capture with Windows 3.x or Netlink with Windows NT
\SERVER\ QUEUE LPT# and then download the pertinent
control <filename>.ps using COPY <filename>.ps LPT#.
This method is suggested assuming that a network
connection to the printer already exists and that you are using
a PC that supports network port mapping to an LPT port.
•
From Windows through a parallel port—With DOS commands,
you can download the pertinent control <filename>.ps using
COPY <filename>.ps LPT#.
Printer Parameters - Factory Default
If some parameters have been changed from the defaults and
you find it necessary to return to factory default parameters, you
can reset the printer to factory defaults using the printer’s front
display/control panel by using the following procedure.This resets
all changeable parameters such as AppleTalk name,
AppleTalkZone, IP address, and preferred server name. Refer to

Primary/Preferred Server
The primary or preferred server is the name of the file server that
contains the KSETUP configuration file for Novell environments.
In most environments it may not be necessary to define a
preferred server (factory default setting). If you have any
problems, you should define the preferred server as a
troubleshooting precaution.
NOTE: In environments with hundreds of servers, the printer
logs in to the preferred server instantly (seconds) instead
of potentially searching through hundreds of servers
(minutes) to find the KSETUP file. In an environment with
only one server, you may find it necessary to define that
server as the preferred server.
The following utilities are provided with your Novell Utilities
diskette for downloading a primary server name to your printer:

If a Macintosh system is available on the network, these Windows
utility files could be transferred to the Macintosh and then
downloaded to the printer over the network using the LaserWriter
Downloader Utility. This method avoids the additional necessity
for a parallel I/F to the printer from a PC.
Primary Server For PostScript Printers
To define the primary NetWare server for a PostScript printer in
PostScript mode, do the following steps:
1. Edit the PSSERVER.PS file from the Utilities for Novell
diskette.
2. In the third line of the file, replace the phrase “PUT YOUR
SERVER NAME HERE” with the name of the primary
NetWare server where the KSETUP configuration file
resides.
Make sure that the ( ) in (PUTYOURSERVERNAMEHERE)
are not removed.
NOTE: The primary server name is case sensitive.
3. Save and exit the file.
4. Send the file to the printer through a port such as the parallel
port. The following command is an example of sending the
file to the printer using the parallel port. The CNTL_D file is
found on the Utilities for Novell diskette and is only necessary
if the file is downloaded using the parallel port.
COPY PSSERVER.PS + CNTL_D LPT1:
5. Once the file has been sent to the printer, power cycle the
printer to allow the change to take effect.

Utilities For Printers in Raster Mode
Kodak Raster Printer Utility— Macintosh utility used to rename
the printer in Raster mode. This is the printer name as it appears
when using the specific printer’s export module in conjunction
with Adobe Photoshop.
AppleTalk Zone
Default: * (Physical Zone assigned to cable segment)
We recommend that you use the default zone. The only time you
would use a different zone name is if the default physical zone
were subdivided into logical zones.
If there are routers on your network, the printer is assigned to the
default zone named by the router.
Each time the printer initializes, it attempts to acquire the zone
name that is defined in the printer's nonvolatile RAM. If it cannot
find it, the printer is placed in a default zone. If there are routers
on your network, the printer acquires its zone name from the
router.
The printer must be operating in PostScript mode when you
change the zone. Once the procedure is complete, the zone is
applicable for both PostScript and Raster modes.
Set_EtherTalk_Zone.PS—Utility which renames the printer zone
in PostScript mode.This is the zone that the printer appears in as
a PostScript printer in the Chooser or similar PC/AppleTalk Zone-
Name window. Edit the file to modify the zone parameter, save
the file, and download the file to the printer.
Edit the file so that your zone name is substituted for
“YourZoneNameGoesHere.” No other parts of the file should be
altered. Be careful not to insert any nonprinting characters in this
file, or errors will occur during the download. If there are syntax
errors in the file, the printer returns an error message through the
LaserWriter Font Utility and the zone name are not changed.
Changing the Printer’s Zone
1. Make sure the printer is in PostScript mode.
2. Open the Set_EtherTalk_Zone.PS file on the Macintosh

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 to be used for creating and sending print
jobs to the printer, and any servers to 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.
Section 3: Install the software for the Network Interface Card.
NOTE: It is not necessary to install software to use the Network
Interface Card with AppleTalk.
Section 4: Configure the 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 default parameters be used initially
until the printer is functional on your network.
Section 5: Determine 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. Refer to
appropriate platform specific sections based on their anticipated
use as print servers and/or user workstations.
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 Novell
server’s print queue (indirect printing).
Novell NetWare - Overview
You should be familiar with the system administrative tasks for
your system including the PCONSOLE utility.You may configure
the printer for use with Novell NetWare using Novell’s standard
IPX protocol or with Novell NetWare using AppleTalk protocol.
Refer to the “AppleTalk-Novell” section for more information.

Novell NetWare
With NetWare, the printer operates as a print server and reads
requests from NetWare servers. The printer can service 16
queues on 16 file servers and poll successive queues every
second.
You can print to the printer with standard Novell print utilities such
as NPRINT or from Microsoft Windows applications.
Novell NetWare IPX - Overview
To use Novell IPX, you must create a configuration file using the
KSETUP.EXE utility included on the Novell utilities diskette.
If you have more than 20 servers, we recommend that you
specify a primary server (server with KSETUP file) so that the
Network Interface Card can do a more efficient search for the
server/KSETUP file.
The default frametype setting is AUTOSELECT.You may have to
specify a specific IPX FrameType from the printer’s front control/
display panel if you have servers using different frametypes.
Complete the remaining server and queue configuration steps
using the Novell PCONSOLE utility.
When using Novell IPX, one user license is required because the
printer/Network Interface Card logs into the server being
serviced.
Novell NetWare AppleTalk - Overview
To use Novell’s AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS), an ATPS.CFG
file must be edited appropriately to define an AppleTalk printer
name and corresponding zone.
Novell AppleTalk Advantages over Novell IPX
The use of Novell ATPS does not require configuration steps
using PCONSOLE, steps to specify a primary server, or steps to
specify a frametype. ATPS does not require a user license, and
performance differences between the use of IPX and AppleTalk
are negligible. Refer to the documentation for AppleTalk, Novell
NetWare for more information.
The disadvantage of using Novell AppleTalk over Novell IPX is
that you cannot print in Raster mode using ATPS over the Novell
server. Only Macintosh systems can printer in Raster mode using
AppleTalk.

support both PostScript and Raster mode printing.
Novell NetWare - IPX - 3.x/4.x Servers
Novell NetWare IPX - Printer Parameters
You may set up or modify network printing parameters over Novell
NetWare IPX for frametype and preferred server. Frametype is
set up from the printer’s front display/control panel and by
downloading a PostScript command file to set up a preferred
server.
It should not be necessary to modify these parameters from
factory defaults of Frametype = AutoSelect and Preferred Server
= Undefined. This function is provided for efficiency in varying
customer environments.
Refer to “Network Printer Parameters” for information on setting
up all printer parameters for the various protocols.
Creating and Editing the IPX KSETUP Configura-
tion File
Some procedures in this section vary, depending on whether you
are running Novell NetWare 3.x or 4.x. Complete the procedures
appropriate for your site.
You must create a configuration file using the KSETUP.EXE
program from the Novell Utilities diskette. This configuration file
should reside on only one file server.You can modify the file as
necessary to change the queues or servers that the printer
services.
Upon startup, the printer tries to read a configuration file from the
available servers. If a primary server is defined, it will start with
that server. It looks in the \login\kodak directory for a file named
kxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Network
Interface Card’s Ethernet address.
NOTE: For printers in PostScript mode, make a test print; and
make a note of the hardware address of the installed
Network Interface Card.

Do the following steps to create the KSETUP configuration file:
1. Log in to the file server as ADMIN in the main context.
2. Change to the \login directory on the file server.
3. Create a Kodak directory by entering the command:
md kodak
4. Change to the new directory by entering the command:
cd kodak
5. Insert the Utilities for Novell setup disk into the A drive. Copy
the Utilities for Novell setup disk into the directory by entering

6. Run the KSETUP program using the command syntax below:
KSETUP /e=<NICaddress> /s=<server> /q=<queue> /
p=<printserver>
where
<NICaddress> is the last six digits of the printer's Ethernet
Network Interface Card’s hardware address.
<server> -is the name of the file server.
<queue> -is the name of the print queue the printer will
service.
<printserver> -is the name of the printer/Network Interface

address.
For example, if your printer’s Network Interface Card Ethernet
address is 00:40:C8:02:EE:44, the file server is FSERVER,
the print queue is PTRQ, and the print server name is
K02EE44, you would enter the following
KSETUP /e=02EE44 /s=FSERVER /q=PTRQ /p=k02EE44
This command would add the following line to the
configuration file called K02EE44:
FSERVER:PTRQ:K02EE44:::
7. If more than one file server sends files to the printer or if more
than one queue is set up on a file server, use a text editor to
modify the configuration file and add a line similar to the one
below for each server and/or queue.
<File Server Name>: <Queue Name>: <Print Server
Name>:::
Additional KSETUP file lines might look like:
FSERVER:PTRQ2:K02EE44:::

Creating Novell NetWare Print Servers and Queues
The Network Interface Card logs in to NetWare file servers and
attaches to NetWare print queues. It then prints the jobs that it
can read from the server.
To print with the Network Interface Card, you must define the card
as a print server.You can create new queues or pick existing
queues and then enable the print server, the Network Interface
Card, to service the queues.

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 Network Interface Card in the Kodak printer.
Section 3: Install the software for the Network Interface Card.
NOTE: For Windows 3.x a network server queue must be
selected so the only relevant software for the Network
Interface Card is Novell utilities for setting up a Novell
server (IPX)or UNIX utilities for setting up a UNIX server
(TCP/IP). No software is necessary for setting up the
Network Interface Card with NT server queues.
Section 4: Configure the 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 until
the printer is functional on your network.
Section 5: Determine printer modes of operation, either
PostScript and/or Raster, to be used based on the model of
printer purchased. Install the corresponding PostScript and/or
Raster mode software. Refer to the appropriate platform-specific
sections based on their anticipated use as print servers and/or
user workstations for more information.
Printer Setup for Selecting a Network Queue
For 3.x Workstations, any user may configure a printer and select
a server print queue to use for printing.
For the first time installation, use the following generic
procedures. However, if you encounter any problems or
confusion, refer to the README files that came with the
installation software for your particular printer. After you install the
software, select the printer/port/queue you wish to use.

(USER ID) pages. Finish the installation by clicking on OK and
closing windows where appropriate.
Refer to “Printing” for more information on how to print from DOS
and Windows applications.
NOTE: To print in Raster mode, you may need to capture a
network server such as a Novell, NT, or UNIX queue to
an LPT port and select the corresponding LPT port from
the export module.
Setting up Windows 3.x Workstations to use TCP/IP from
PC-NFS
The Network Interface Card was designed as a direct network
interface for printers in UNIX environments that support the line
printer daemon (lpd). However, it also works with PC/TCP-
compatible software, such as PC/TCP FTP, and with VMS™
systems that support (lpd).
PC-NFS enables DOS users sharing printers attached to hosts or
to PCs. PC-NFS users can access the printer through their UNIX
PC-NFS server and print jobs at the rated speed of the printer.
Do the following steps to set up a shared printer:
1. Install PC-NFS on your PC. See your PC-NFS installation
guide for instructions.

6. Mount this printer using either the nfsconf program or the
following command:
NOTE: Enter the command on one line without returns.
net use <print device>: <host>:<printer name> [/option [/
option]...]
NOTE: The print device can be either lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. The host
is the server name, and the printername is the name
assigned to the printer.
7. Use the net printers command to see a list of printers:
attached to the server.
net printers <servername>
8. Select raw mode of data transfer while mounting a printer in
PC-NFS for printing PostScript files.

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 (direct printing) directly to the
printer using the desired protocol.
Network Service and Protocol Installation
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.

Raster Mode Considerations
NOTE: The export module for NT only supports Raster mode
printing using TCP/IP or IPX (Novell) queues. NT
AppleTalk printing will not recognize the printer in Raster
mode because the printer advertises itself as a
Kodak_Raster device instead of a LaserWriter device.
Therefore, AppleTalk printing will limit the use of the
printer to PostScript mode printing only.
A workstation can be configured as a pseudo-server when using
TCP/IP to service a printer by also sharing the printer and
assigning a queue name. The same workstation can then select
itself as a server and the shared queue for either PostScript or
Raster mode printing.
Windows NT Servers and Workstations
Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers
provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may
encounter problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by Kodak.
When in doubt, refer to the Kodak web site for availability and the
latest versions of drivers. Refer to “Getting Help” for information
on how to access the Kodak web site.
We recommend that you install the printer driver and/or the
export module on each server and workstation on your network.
When you set up the servers for sharing, install only the software
relevant to the operating system for the server.
Direct Printing
We recommended that an NT server be configured to service
printers with TCP/IP since both PostScript and Raster mode
printing is supported by TCP/IP server/queues. An AppleTalk
server/queue only supports PostScript mode printing.
We recommend that workstations print indirectly using a server
queue.
A printer is configured on an NT server in the same manner as
configuring a printer on an NT workstation except that on an NT
server, the printer is shared and assigned a queue name.

Windows NT 3.51Workstations and Servers
When a printer is shared on a server, do not select other
Windows systems that will use the queue. Drivers should be
installed locally on all systems serviced by a server.You may
encounter problems when trying to download copies of a driver
from the server to a workstation.
Indirect Printing (Printing through a Server)
From the workstation, browse the network and selects a pertinent
server and queue.
Even though workstations may be configured to print directly to a
printer using TCP/IP or AppleTalk, we recommend that
workstations print indirectly by selecting a TCP/IP server queue
for optimal resource utilization.
NT Server Queues
On NT servers, you may encounter corruption of data when
printing files over 5 Mbytes which have been exhibited by the
occurrences of color bands across the printed image. This
condition can be corrected by setting up server properties to
accept the entire print job before passing the file on to the printer.
“Job Prints While Spooling” must be deselected.

Windows NT 4.0 Workstations and Servers
Raster Mode Considerations
A workstation can be configured as a pseudo-server when using
TCP/IP to service a printer by also sharing the printer and
assigning a queue name. The same workstation can then select
itself as a server and the shared queue for either PostScript or
Raster mode printing.
NOTE: The export module for NT only supports Raster mode
printing using TCP/IP or IPX (Novell) queues. NT
AppleTalk printing does not recognize the printer in
Raster mode because the printer advertises it self as
a Kodak_Raster device instead of a LaserWriter
device. Therefore, NT AppleTalk printing will limit the
use of the printer to PostScript mode printing only.
Windows NT Servers and Workstations
Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers
provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may
encounter problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by Kodak.
When in doubt, refer to the Kodak web site for availability and the
latest versions of drivers. Refer to “Getting Help” for information
on how to access the Kodak web site.
You may encounter problems if you install drivers on remote
workstations by downloading them from an NT server.
We recommend that you install the printer driver and/or the
export module on each server and workstation on your network.
When you set up the servers for sharing, install only the software
relevant to the operating system for the server.
Direct Printing
We recommend that an NT server be configured to service
printers with TCP/IP since both PostScript and Raster mode
printing is supported by TCP/IP Server/ Queues. An AppleTalk
server/ queue only supports PostScript mode printing.
A printer is configured on an NT server in the same manner as
configuring a printer on an NT workstation, except that on an NT
server the printer is shared and assigned a queue name.

Windows NT 4.0 Workstations and Servers
When a printer is shared on a server, do not select other
Windows systems that will use the queue. Drivers should be
installed locally on all systems serviced by a server.You may
encounter problems when trying to download copies of a driver
from the server to a workstation.
Indirect Printing (Printing through a Server)
From the workstation, browse the network and select a pertinent
server and queue.
Even though a workstation may be configured to print directly to a
printer using TCP/IP or AppleTalk, we recommend that
workstations print indirectly by selecting a TCP/IP server queue
for optimal resource utilization.
NT Server Queues
On NT servers, you may encounter corruption of data when
printing files over 5 Mbytes. Color bands appear across the
printed image. This condition can be corrected by setting up
server properties to accept the entire print job before passing the
file on to the printer.“Start Printing After Last Page Spooled” must
be selected.

The only pertinent parameter for UNIX is the IP Address.
Section 5: Determine printer modes of operation (PostScript and/
or Raster) to be used based on the model of the printer

NOTE: Kodak does not produce drivers and export modules for
UNIX platforms. However, PostScript output files can be
sent to the printer using the line printer daemon (lpd). For
solutions from other vendors, refer to “Getting Help” at the
end of this guide.
UNIX BSD Systems
Access to printers in BSD systems is controlled by the lpd
normally located in the /usr/lib directory. This is started at boot
time through the file rc.The common print programs like lpr and lp
take the file to be printed and put it in a spooling queue where lpd
finds and prints it.

UNIX Workstations and Servers
The reference file for lpr is /etc/printcap. This file contains a
description of the printer, the name of the directory where the job
is spooled, the accounting file for the printer, the error file for the
printer, and the filters used for any further processing of data
before it is sent to the printer.
The lpd provides access control through the following process:
•
•
•
All requests must come from one of the systems listed in
either /etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpd.
If the printcap entry specifies rc capability, only lpr requests for
users with accounts on local machines are honored.
The lock file in each spool directory stores information about
the daemon process for lp programs and prevents multiple
programs from becoming active. The lock file is an ASCII file
containing two lines.The first line is the process ID of the
daemon, and the second is the file name of the job being
printed.
After the daemon sets the lock, it scans the directory for files
beginning with cf.The lines in a cf file specify files to be printed or
nonprinting actions. It contains information such as the name of
the job, the host name, and the name of the user.
When a file is spooled for printing, its contents are copied into a
data file in the spool directory. Data file names begin with df. If
you do not want data files to be copied into the spool directory,
use the option -s with the lpr command. The spooling software
then creates a symbolic link to the files instead of copying them.
Direct Printing/Spooling
Run the installation script on every computer that will access the
printer. Define the printer as a local printer on every system.
Users will spool directly from their own print queues to the printer.
Indirect Printing/Spooling
Run the installation script only on the computers that will be used
as network spooling hosts (servers). Define the printer as a
remote printer on every other machine. Users will forward the
jobs to the spooling host which, in turn, will access the printer.

Printer Installation/Configuration
Automatic Installation
The installation script on the TCP/IP utilities diskette is for UNIX
systems only. The disk is in UNIX tar format. The install script is
inappropriate for use on a PC or Macintosh system.
Use the installation script to enter the host name and IP address
for the Network Interface Card into the host tables of all spooling
hosts. This script automatically places entries into /etc/hosts and /
etc/printcap files. Generally this script works for most UNIX
systems. Refer to specific UNIX sections for manual installation
procedures if you encounter problems.
When you are logged in as root, you can use menu choice 3 of
the installation script to delete a printer. This deletes the spool
directory, log files, and printcap entry associated with the printer.
Follow the automatic installation procedure outlined using the
install script on the TCP/IP Utilities diskette
After you run the installation script, you are ready to print using
the Network Interface Card. The host software redirects your
UNIX print data to the Network Interface Card over the network.
Refer to the sections in this guide on specific print utilities under
the UNIX operating system you are using. Run the installation
script on every host that spools directly to the Network Interface
Card.
1. Log in as root.
2. Find and load the Utilities for the TCP/IP diskette.
3. Use the tar command to see the files:
tar -tvf /dev/(device)
NOTE: The device name varies depending on the type of
computer and its peripheral designations. For example, the
BSD floppy device is called fd0.

5. List the files you loaded by entering the command
ls
6. Run the installation script by entering the command
./install.sh
7. Respond to the script's prompts.
On BSD UNIX systems the installation script creates an entry in
the /etc/printcap file for the printer you specified. The script also
creates required spool directories and log files. Installing more
than one printer.
The installation script installs one printer at a time.To install more
than one printer, execute the script again.
You can create several logical printers with different
characteristics which point to the same physical printer in this
manner.
For example, to install another printer called 8650 as an alias for
DS8650PS in the /etc/hosts file on a BSD UNIX system, you
would enter:
192.185.2.3 DS8650PS 8650
The installation procedure varies for System V UNIX systems.
Manual Installation
/etc/hosts File
Add the host printer name and the IP address to the host
database--usually the /etc/hosts file. Do this for every host that
spools directly to the printer.
You must be logged in as root to edit the /etc/hosts file.
To add a printer named 8650 with an IP address 192.185.2.3, you
would add the line below to the /etc/hosts file:
192.185.2.3 8650
If you are using NIS ® (Yellow Pages®), edit the YP master hosts
database. After editing the database, remember to rebuild it by

7. Enter the following command to make the printer accept
connection:
accept <printername>
Using the admintool
You can also use system administration tools (the Solaris
admintool or HP/UX SAM, for example) to install the printer.
However, you need to use the lpadmin command to actually add
the printer as a new printer.
HP/UX Systems
Installation is similar to the SUN Solaris manual installation with
the exception of the following use of lpadmin:
lpadmin -p<printer name> -mrmodel -orpps -v/dev/null
ocmrcmodel
-orm<host printername> -osmrsmodel -ob3
<Printer name> can be anything you want to call your printer. It
can be the same as <host printer name>. However, doing this
makes corresponding printer name associations more confusing.

Printing Modes - PostScript and Raster
The Kodak printers supported are of 2 types. Models with the PS
extension support both PostScript and Raster printing modes.
Models with no PS extension support Raster mode printing only.
Printing in PostScript mode is supported by using application
software packages. Raster mode is a Kodak proprietary printing
language that is more efficient than PostScript in terms of
performance and use of special printer features.
Kodak Printer Software
Kodak provides PostScript drivers for PostScript mode printing
and export modules for Raster mode printing from Macintosh and
Windows platforms. Adobe Photoshop application software for
use with the export modules must be purchased from Adobe.
Non-Kodak Printer Software
Applications and drivers are also available from third party
support vendors for most platforms. Information on vendors and
software solutions can be found on the Kodak world wide web site
at:
http://www.kodak.com by following the path:
PRODUCT INFORMATION >TECHNICAL INFORMATION >
SYSTEM & SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS CATALOG >SEARCH BY
PRODUCT CATEGORY.
Also, if a Kodak driver is not available, a generic PostScript driver
or LaserWriter driver could be used in conjunction with the
specific Kodak printer PPD file to generate PostScript output to
the printer.

PostScript Mode Printing
Printing from Microsoft Windows
You can print from Microsoft Windows applications using FILE >
PRINT.
Be sure to use FILE > PAGE SETUP to setup or verify pertinent
printing parameters such as paper size and ribbon type.
Also, check for consistency in parameter definitions from the
PRINTER > PROPERTY menus when applicable for eliminating
extra/error PostScript pages
When printing from TCP/IP, extraneous job control (end of job)
characters that are automatically generated by PostScript
applications, <Ctrl D>s, may cause extra pages to be printed
along with an “Offending Command” PostScript error page. The
printer may also process the job and then return to “READY”
without printing.
This Ctrl D does not cause problems when using the parallel, IPX,
or network AppleTalk printing. It does, however, cause jobs to be
cancelled when they are serviced by a UNIX server.
Windows 3.x Systems
To eliminate the Ctrl Ds from PostScript output files on Windows
3.x systems, a C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI file must be edited.
Within the C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI file, search for any occurrences
of Kodak printers and/or LPT ports that they may be associated
with. A typical entry might look like the following:
[Kodak DS 8650 PS, LPT1]
After this line, add the following line:
CTRLD=0
Save the file, and try printing it again.
Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51Systems
To eliminate the Ctrl Ds from PostScript output files on Windows
95 and Windows NT systems, use the Printer >Properties setup

Printing from DOS
NPrint
Print to the printer as if it were any other Novell print server. For
example, use the Novell CAPTURE command to redirect one of
the LPT ports to a queue serviced by the Network Interface Card.
If the file server is named raisa and the queue is named lp1, the
command to redirect to LPT1 would be:
CAPTURE /S=raisa /Q=lp1
Use NPRINT to print as shown in the following example:
NPRINT myfile S=raisa Q=lp1
You can include the /notify option to send a message to users
who send jobs once the jobs successfully print. For example:
NPRINT myfile S=raisa Q=lp1 /notify
Copy
Use COPY to print to an LPT port redirected to a network port.
COPY myfile LPT1
LPR
The example below illustrates how to use the lpr command to
send a file to the printer from the DOS command line.
In this example, the server name is server1, and the printer name
is 8650.
lpr -S server1 -P 8650 \fullpath\filename
Printing form Macintosh Systems
To send PostScript files to a printer in PostScript mode, use the
File>Print function from a PostScript application. A pre-existing
PostScript file can be downloaded to the printer using the
LaserWriter Font Utility.

Printing from BSD UNIX Systems
Kodak does not develop PostScript drivers or export modules for
UNIX platform(s). However, other vendors do provide solutions in
support of Kodak printers. These solutions support various UNIX/
Windows/Macintosh platforms and interfaces. For information,
refer to “Getting Help” at the end of this guide.
However, if PostScript or Raster output files have been generated
by other applications and drivers, they can be sent to a Kodak
printer using the line printer daemon.
Access to printers in BSD systems is controlled by the lpd
normally located in the /usr/lib directory. This is started at boot
time through the file rc.The common print programs like lpr and lp
take the file to be printed and put it in a spooling queue where the
lpd finds it and prints it.
The reference file for lpr is /etc/printcap. This file contains a
description of the printer, the name of the directory where the job
is spooled, the accounting file for the printer, the error file for the
printer, and the filters to be used for any further processing of
data before it is sent to the printer.
An example for printing a file:
lpr -P8650ps filename.ps
Printing from UNIX System V Systems
Kodak does not develop PostScript drivers or export modules for
UNIX platform(s). However, other vendors do provide solutions in
support of Kodak printers. These solutions support various UNIX/

refer to “Getting Help” at the end of this guide.
However, if PostScript or Kodak Raster output files have been
generated by other applications and drivers, they can be sent to a
Kodak printer by lp.
Native UNIX print commands are redirected to the Network
Interface Card over the network. Consult manual pages for
specific print utilities under the UNIX operating system you are
using.

Troubleshooting
14 Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble printing, first verify that the standalone
printer with no network interface connection operates correctly.
Secondly, verify that the printer is configured correctly when
connected to your network. If necessary, go to the sections that
pertain to the specific platform and protocol used.
Verifying Standalone Printer Functions
•
Is the printer plugged in, turned on, and displaying the
“READY” prompt?
•
Is there an error message displayed on the printer?
Refer to the user's guide for the printer for information about
error messages that appear on the front control/display
panel. Error code numbers typically indicate that the printer
hardware requires service.
•
•
Does the paper size displayed on the front control/display
panel match what is actually in the tray?
If not, the paper tray may be an adjustable tray that has not
been properly set up. Check and/or adjust the paper size
selection switch on the side of the tray for the proper paper
size setting.
Is the printer in the appropriate mode (PostScript or Raster)?
PostScript mode is necessary for PostScript file printing. The
printer should only be in Raster mode when using the export
module in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop or when using
another vendor’s application that specifically states support for
Kodak printers in Raster mode.
If necessary, select the proper mode from the printer’s front
control/display panel. Refer to “Changing the Printing Mode”
in the “Printing” section.
•
Make test prints to determine if the printer is functioning in
PostScript and/or Raster modes. Do not be alarmed if your
particular printer does not support both modes of operation.
Make sure that paper and ribbon are loaded. To make a test
print, press the print button on the printer when “:READY”
appears in the display panel.

Troubleshooting
Verify Network Connectivity
1. When the printer finishes initialization and the front display/
control panel displays the message “READY,” check that the
LEDs on the back of the printer operate correctly.
NOTE: Check the yellow LED only if you have 10BaseT cabling.
• The yellow LED should illuminate and be in a stable
condition. If the light does not illuminate or is unstable,
check the connectivity between the Network Interface Card
and the network hub switch. If the connectivity is correct,
the Network Interface Card may be defective.
• The green LED should blink intermittently indicating a burst
of traffic on the network. If the green light does not blink,
the Network Interface Card may be defective.
2. Make sure that the jumpers on the Network Interface Card
are set correctly. Normally for 10Base T cabling, Link should
be “OFF” and JP1 and JP2 should be “ON.” Refer to “Setting
the Jumpers” in the “Network Interface Card” Installation
section for more information.
3. Make sure that the network cables are connected correctly
and are in good working condition. If necessary, install a new
cable.
If the printer can print from the parallel or Local Talk ports,
check for the correct network setup.
Verify Printer/Network Parameters
•
Make a PostScript test if you have not already done so.
Using a PostScript mode test print, verify that pertinent
AppleTalk, IPX, and/or TCP/IP parameters that have been set
up are correct. These parameters will not appear on a test
print made with the printer in Raster mode.
Printer/network parameters may also be verified from a telnet
session. Refer to “Telnet” in this section.
•
Power cycle the printer. Under some circumstances the printer
may lose network communications with the host and not
regain them until a reinitialization occurs. Some parameters

that are downloaded to the printer are effective when you
restart the printer.
•
You may want to reset the printer to factory defaults from the
printer’s front control/display panel. Refer to ”Printer
Parameters” for instructions on resetting the printer.
Verify Application and Printer Parameters
•
Is there an error indication on the front control/display panel
that the wrong ribbon is in use with a “Load Oversize Ribbon”
message or the wrong paper with a “Load Paper” message?
If pressing the “PRINT” button on the front control/display
panel results in a print, this is an indication that the printing
problem is due to a mismatch between application “Page
Setup” and “Print” menu page/ribbon selection parameters
and what is actually in the printer. Check options in both
menus carefully because some applications require
consistent selections in more than one menu.
•
In situations where a Kodak PostScript driver is not available,
for example on UNIX platforms, features pertaining to media
may not be selectable through the application being used.
Some media features are selectable, however, from the printer
control/display panel. By selecting the following, these
characteristics can be set as defaults:
SETUP >DEFAULTS >MEDIA,
TYPE (Paper/Transparency/Draft) and
COLOR (Standard/Commercial/Publication)

to define a preferred server (factory default setting). If you
have any problems, you should define the preferred server as
a troubleshooting precaution.
NOTE: In environments with hundreds of servers, the printer
logs in to the preferred server instantly (seconds) instead
of potentially searching through hundreds of servers
(minutes) to find the KSETUP file. In an environment with
only one server, you may find it necessary to define that
server as the preferred server.
•
•
•
Check the test print to verify that the preferred server is
correct.
Make sure that the configuration file is on the correct server
and located in the SYS:LOGIN\KODAK subdirectory.
Check the name of the configuration file. For example, if the
Ethernet address of the Network Interface Card is
00:40:C8:77:66:11, the configuration file should be called
k776611.
NOTE: Your address will be different than the one used in this
example.
•
Make sure that your queue and print server names for the
Network Interface Card match those specified in the
configuration file and that the queue is assigned to that server.
•
Check the display panel for error messages. Refer to the
appropriate user's guide for information about error
messages.
•
•
•
Check to see if the file server is on line. Use the NetWare
SLIST command to list the currently available file servers.
Make sure the number of logged-in users does not exceed the
user license limit.
From the DOS command line, enter the NetWare command
USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) to verify that the
printer has logged into the file server. The USERLIST (3.x) or
NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) command displays all logged-in users
from the currently attached file server. Verify that your
workstation is attached to the printer’s defined file server
before running USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x).The
printer should log in as the <print server> name.

Check to see if the print queue has been disabled. If the
queue is enabled but your job is not in it, a workstation
problem has prevented the job from entering the print queue.
Check the workstation.
•
•
Check the print queue contents using the PCONSOLE
command.
If the printer has not logged in (determined by using the
USERLIST (3.x) or NLISTUSER/A/B (4.x) command), check
the printers display panel for error messages.
•
•
Verify that names were defined according to the instructions
for installation.
Verify that the correct frametype is chosen under the menu
selection PORTS:IPX of the display panel. The file server and
printer must use the same frametype.
•
Verify that CAPTURE has been run for the appropriate parallel
port.
NT Installations
On NT systems, you may encounter corruption of data when
printing files over 5 Mbytes. Color bands may appear across the
printed image. This condition can be corrected by setting up
server properties to accept the entire print job before passing the
file on to the printer. For Windows NT 3.51 for workstations and
servers “Job Prints While Spooling” must be deselected. For
Windows NT 4.0 for workstations and servers “Start Printing After
Last Page Spooled” must be selected.
Some systems such as Windows NT come with Kodak drivers
provided by Microsoft. If you use these drivers, you may
encounter problems. Be sure to install drivers provided by Kodak.
When in doubt, refer to the Kodak web site for availability and the
latest versions of drivers. Refer to “Getting Help” for information
on how to access the Kodak web site.
You may encounter problems if you install drivers on remote
workstations by downloading them from an NT server.

If you are using the 10BaseT port and have nonstandard cabling
such as AT&T or HP STARLAN, you may need to disable link
integrity. Refer to "Disabling the Link Test Integrity Function" in the
“Installing the Hardware” section for instructions.
You can ping the printer but cannot print.
The problem is with the lpr/lpd setting.
Verify that the printcap entries are correct. Each line should begin
with a colon (:) and except for the last line should end with:\. Each
line after the first line should be indented (tabbed). A sample
entry is shown in “UNIX BSD Systems.”
If there are problems in the printcap entries, the files will not print,
and you will get the message “warning: no daemon present”
when you try to look at the print queue using the lpq -P
<printername> command. The file /usr/adm/lpd-errs will contain
error messages explaining why the file was not printed. Check for
error messages.
You can only print small files.
If large files (usually 1 MB or more) fail to print, check to see if the
printcap entry contains a line reading:mx#0. If the line does not
exist, you should add it.You should also check to see if there is
enough room in the spool directory to accommodate large files.
You cannot print from a DOS or Windows application.
If you cannot print from the application you are using, redirect the
output to a file from the application, and print the file from the
