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:  
>
>
>
TCP/IP  
IPX (Novell NetWare)  
NetBEUI

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:  
Name assigned to the printer  
PrintServer1  
Comment:  
User definable description

Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it  
remains as PrintServer.  
Although there are some differences in configuration options between the  
various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is  
the same.

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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide  
50  
 
         
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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide

>
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  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide

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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide  
54  
 
     
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

Operating system configuration  
This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX operating  
systems.  
Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration  
The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and an ML8810 printer as  
examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration method  
may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation manuals for  
more information.  
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 the network manager and confirm that the IP address of the printer  
has been set.  
1. Login as [root] to the workstation.  
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should conduct  
the configuration.  
2. Register the IP address of the network card and the host  
name in the /etc/hosts file.  
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 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, then 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 their  
defaults and then try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the  
problem after resetting the card, consult your network manager.  
4. Register the printer in the /etc/printcap file.  
Example: for host name ML8810, to create a queue called  
ML8810_lp  
ML8810_lp: \  
:lp=:rm=ML8810:rp=lp:\  
:sd=/usr/spool/ML8810_lp:\  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide  
57  
 
 
:lf=/usr/spool/ML8810_lp/ML8810_lp_errs:  
ML8810_lp  
lp:  
The name of the printer queue  
The name of the device used to connect to the printer.  
Does not need to be specified for a remote machine.  
rm:  
rp:  
The name of the host of the remote printer. This should be  
the same as the name added to the /etc/hosts file.  
The name of the printer on the remote printer. It should  
be lp.  
sd:  
lf:  
The spool directory. Give the absolute path.  
The error log file. Give the absolute path.  
5. Create the spool directory and error log file.  
Example: for spool Directory ML8810_lp and Error Log file  
ML8810_lp_errs  
# mkdir /usr/spool/ML8810_lp  
# touch /usr/spool/ML8810_lp/ML8810_lp_errs  
# chown –R daemon /usr/spool/ML8810_lp  
# chgrp –R # daemon /usr/spool/ML8810_lp  
6. Check that lpd (printer daemon) is activated.  
# ps aux | grep lpd  
7. If lpd is not running, you can start it by logging in as  
superuser and executing  
# /usr/lib/lpd &  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide

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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide  
59  
 
5. Register the network card as a remote printer server.  
Example: for host name ML8810  
a. Stop the print scheduler.  
# usr/sbin/lpshut  
b. Create the printer queue.  
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p ML8810_lp -v /dev/null \  
-m netstandard -o dest=ML8810:lp -o protocol=bsd  
c. Start the print scheduler.  
# /usr/sbin/lpsched  
d. Activate the print queue.  
# /usr/sbin/accept ML8810_lp  
e. Enable the print queue  
# /bin/enable ML8810_lp

HP-UX 10.x configuration  
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 the network manager.  
The following example uses HP-UX10.20 and a ML8810 printer as  
examples. The absolute path and method of configuring commands may  
differ in other versions of the OS. Refer to the workstation manual for more  
details.  
1. Confirm that the IP address of the printer has been set. See  
network interface card IP address configuration for more  
information.  
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 the /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.  
5. If remote spooling is not already enabled on the HP-UX  
machine, carry out the following configuration.  
a. Stop the printer spooler.  
# /usr/sbin/lpshut

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].

63  
 
# smit mkrque  
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.  
Example: Use port lp with print queue ML8810_lp and print server  
ML8810  
Queue to be added“ML8810_lp”  
Host name of the remote server“ML8810”  
Queue name of the remote server“lp”  
Type of print spooler  
of the remote server“BSD”  
Description of printer name  
of the remote server“Optional comment”  
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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide  
64  
 
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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide

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.  
OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide  
66  
 
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>
