Installing the Controller Board Follow the reported instruction in case of Controller Board replacement. Handling the Controller Board Attention: Do not remove the Controller Board from the protective package until instructed to do so. Static electricity, though harmless to you, can damage sensitive Controller Board components. Use the information in this section to avoid damaging a Controller Board. - Limit your movement.
Replacing the Controller Board Attention: Ensure that the printer is powered off before installing or removing the Controller Board. If the Controller Board is installed while the printer is powered on, the controller will not synchronize with the printer mechanism board. Unpredictable printer behavior will result. Perform the following steps to replace the Controller Board: 1. Ensure that the printer is powered off.
4. Align the left and right sides of the Controller Board with the guides in the printer and slide it into the slot. 5. Gently push the Controller Board into the printer until it is seated in the connector inside the printer. The Controller Board is correctly seated in the printer when the Controller Board metal plate is aligned with the back profile of the slot.
6. Attach the Controller Board with the two screws using the screwdriver that came in the Controller Board box.
Connecting Printer to the LAN Make sure the power switch is in 0 position (OFF). 1. Insert the LAN cable into the Ethernet 10/100Base-T connector. 2. Insert the power cable into the printer connector and the other power cable end into a convenient outlet. 3. Press the power switch in I position (ON) to turn the printer on. Make sure that the LAN Interface Port Green Led is lit.

Linux 7.x & Solaris 7.x Operating Systems To configure the printer for the Linux 7.x and Solaris 7.x operating systems, follow the corresponding procedure described below: Configuring a Remote Printer for the Red Hot Linux 7.x Operating System 1. Open the “/etc/hosts” file as root user in a Terminal windows. 2. Add the IP address and the Printer Name information. Here is an example of an “/etc/hosts” file: Ip-address Printer-name 10.0.128.220.1 prt1 10.0.128.220.2 prt2 3.
Configuring a Remote Printer for the Solaris 7.x Operating System 1. Open the “/etc/hosts” file as root user in a Terminal windows. 2. Add the IP address and the Printer Name information.

AS/400 Environment Configuring AS/400 for ASCII (TCP/IP protocol) Configuring with ADDTCPIFC ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to AS/400. This step configures the AS/400 for connection to a TCP/IP network. 1. At the AS/400 command line, enter the following command: ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR(′127.000.000.000′)LIND(ETHLAN) SUBNETMASK (′255.255.254.000′) This screen should look like the following one: Internet …………………………….. : address 127.000.000.000. Subnet ………………………………… : Line ………………………………: mask 255.
Configuring a Router Definition with ADDTCPRTE If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route definition. This is required if the printer is somewhere other than on a local segment. Configuring a Local Domain and Host Name The AS/400 print commands require a local name and host name. If you have already configured LAN attached TCP/IP printers on the AS/400 system, you will have a local domain name and hostname configured on the system.
Configuring AS/400 for Printing The procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requires that you: 1. Setup the printing capability 2. Verify the setup with a print job. In order to accomplish this configuration, you need the following information: a) Remote Printer Queue Name Set for any of ‘pr1’ through ‘pr4’. The Remote Printer Queue name must be all lower case.
To Use LPR Manually 1. Start TCP/IP, if it not already running, by entering the STRTCP command 2. At the AS/400 command line, enter ‘LPR’. 3. The following example shows only the parameters you need to specify: Remote System RMTSYS INTNETADR Printer Queue PRTQ d1prn Destination Type DESTTYP OTHER Transform SCS to ASCII TRANSFORM YES Manufacturer Model Internet Address Type and MFRTYPMDL INTNETADR IBM6400EP 127.000.000.000.
To Create an Automatic Remote Output Queue 1. From the AS/400 command line, enter CRTOUTQ. 2. The following example shows only the parameters you need to specify: OUTQ Output Queue USERNAME RMTSYS Remote system INTNETADR RMTPRTQ Remote printer queue d1prn AUTOSRTWTR 1 Writer to Autostart CNNTYPE Connection type IP DESTTYP Destination type XAUTOQXAIX TRANSFORM YES Transform MFRTYPMDL IBM6400EP Manufacturer type INTNETADR 127.000.000.000.
Monitoring Printer & Remote Printer Configuration The following procedure describes the use of the Internet Browser for monitoring the status of the network printer and for the printer remote configuration.
