Introduction What is MarkVision? MarkVision is a utility that allows administrators and users to control and see the status of printers on their networks. In addition, it allows network administrators to: • automatically configure print drivers. The new bidirectional, network-aware PCL and PostScript Windows drivers can configure themselves with many printers. This allows users to make sure that their application driver settings are correct. • install MarkVision and prin

Introduction Is it possible to set a password for this adapter? Passwords on the Network Adapter work as follows: Overview of the • The password protects all the adapter’s settings from being changed (for Utilities, the example, nicknames, queue names, file servers). Network Adapter and MarkVision • The passwords protect the adapter from someone inadvertently or mistakenly changing a setting. The password encryption algorithm is not designed to protect against ser

CHAPTER TCP/IP networks Using TCP/IP networks 2 Introduction Thank you for buying this multi-protocol adapter. This chapter explains how to set up and use your printer on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network using this Network Adapter. Who this chapter is designed for This chapter is designed for technical people such as TCP/IP programmers and experienced network administrators. It assumes that you have a good working knowledge of your TCP/IP hard

Setup For more information This utility guide uses standard TCP/IP protocols. Information about these standard protocols is available in RFCs (Request For Comments). These RFCs contain TCP/IP information that is not unique to the Network Adapter. To obtain an RFC, use FTP services on the Internet as an anonymous user to: nic.ddn.mil Look for the RFC in the /rfc directory. For more information about TCP/IP, we recommend a book by Douglas Comer entitled Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume I: P

Setup Step 1: check the physical connections First you need to make sure that your printer and adapter are installed and TCP/IP working correctly. Check the following items. networks • Make sure that the printer you want to use is installed on the LAN with the appropriate Ethernet cable. • Make sure that the adapter is installed in the printer. Instructions for setting up the printer and installing adapters are shipped with the printer. • Make sure that the printer is connected to the LAN wi

Setup Step 3: set the IP address, netmask, and gateway You can set the IP address, netmask, and gateway for this adapter in several TCP/IP ways. networks The simplest way to set the information is directly on the printer’s control panel. For information about setting the information on the printer’s control panel, go to “Setting the information via the printer control panel” on page 2-8. You may: • Use a TCP/IP bootstrap protocol (BOOTP), if you have a BOOTP server running on yo

Setup Setting the information using a bootstrap protocol You may set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a TCP/IP bootstrap protocol (BOOTP), if you have a BOOTP server running on your network. Make sure the BOOTP server is running on the same LAN segment as the adapter. (Some routers will pass the packets, but many will not. If the BOOTP server is on a different LAN segment, check your router’s documentation to be sure packets will cross.) To set the IP address, netmask,
