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).
