Setting up Network Servers
The following information applies especially to the E-820:
•
The E-820 is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.
•
The E-820 has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it
successfully.
For details, see the following section.
Important note about the remote printer name
Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or
rp
in the
/etc/printcap
file) in configuring the E-820 must be one of the following
:
print
hold
The remote printer name is also used when setting up your
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation or Windows NT 4.0/2000 Server to connect
to the E-820 over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your
Windows NT 4.0/2000 printer, as the “Name of printer or print queue on that (lpd
host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box.
For the Windows 2000/XP printer driver, enter the remote printer name for Queue
Name under LPR Settings in the Configure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor dialog
box.
Setting up the E-820 on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the E-820, must have a unique
32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an
address for the E-820. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the
E-820 as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server or UNIX
workstation acting as a print server. Since the E-820 spools jobs and acts as a print
server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and
the E-820. If you choose to do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a
client machine does not have its own spooling area.
