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(s) that will be used for creating and sending
print 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 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 any software for the Network

Interface Card for AppleTalk.

Section 4:

Configure network printer parameters if necessary.

Some are programmable from the printer’s front display/control
panel, and others are programmable by downloading PostScript
language command files.

NOTE: We recommend that you use the default parameters

initially until the printer functions on your network.

Section 5:

Determine printer modes of operation (PostScript and

or Raster) to be used based on the model of printer that was
purchased. Install 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 server’s print
queue (indirect printing), or to print directly (direct printing) if
possible to the printer using the desired protocol.
