13.2 Console Mode
To configure the MFP Server for LPD printing, perform the procedures below:
1. Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support.
2. Set up MFP Server’s IP address.
3. Verify MFP Server’s IP Address.
4. Configure remote LPD printing on the host.
5. Print a test page.
In the next sections, we will describe these five procedures step by step.
96
13.2.1 Enable MFP Server’s TCP/IP Support
The default configuration of the MFP Server is with TCP/IP support enabled.
You can configure the MFP Server to enable TCP/IP support using the configuration program.
13.2.2 Setup MFP Server’s IP Address
The MFP Server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by the network.
You can set up the IP address on the various Unix/Linux systems using any one of the following methods:
1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
2. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The MFP Server will use these two methods to obtain IP address automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).
13.2.2.1 DHCP
There are many Unix/Linux systems that support DHCP protocol, and the procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. Please refer to the manual of Unix/Linux for the way to use different DHCP Server. It is highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same network as the MFP Server.
97
13.2.2.2 BOOTP
If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX/LINUX system that is accessible by the MFP Server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up the IP address of the MFP Server. We recommend that the
BOOTP server should be located on the same subnet as the MFP Server. If you use Network Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP services before doing the following
BOOTP configuration. To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system documentation.
To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the following steps to add address entries,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address.
You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
203.66.191.12 pserver
2. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/bootptab file, similar to the following: hostname:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=MFP_Server_ethernet_address:\
:ip=MFP_Server_ip_address:
Lines should be indented with tabs.
Where hostname is the device name of a MFP Server, the ht=1 tag specifying the hardware type is Ethernet, the ha= tag specifies the
Ethernet address of a MFP Server, which is the Node ID located on the
MFP Server. The ha tag must be preceded by the ht tag. The ip= tag should correspond to the IP address you want to assign to the MFP
Server.
For example, a MFP Server with the following configuration:
98
Node ID: 0000B4010101 (this implies Ethernet address is 0000B4010101),
IP address: 203.66.191.12
The entry for this MFP Server in the /etc/bootptab file should be:
MF010101:\
:ht=1:\
:ha=0000B4010101:\
:ip=203.66.191.12:
13.2.3 Verify MFP Server’s IP Address
To verify your MFP Server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using a PING command: ping ip-address
99
13.2.4 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host
The procedure you use to configure your Unix/Linux host(s) to allow printing to your network remote MFP Server varies between different varieties of
Unix/Linux. The procedures below can be used for Unix/Linux variants that are related to BSD Unix, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of
Unix/Linux, consult your system documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The MFP Server should be treated as a BSD networked MFP Server host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the MFP Server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3, the name of the printer port on the MFP Server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root).
To configure your Unix/Linux host for printing,
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the MFP Server’s IP address.
You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on the machine, such as /var/spool or
/var/spool/lpd:
203.66.191.186 pserver mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
100
3. Add an entry to the host’s /etc/printcap file, similar to the following: printer-name:\
:lp=:\
:rm=203.66.191.186:\
:rp=lpt1:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd.log:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pserverd:\
:mx#0:
Lines should be indented with tabs. More than one printer name can be used, with variants separated by vertical bars (name1|name2).
The rm= entry should correspond to the IP address you have assigned to the MFP Server. You can also use a host name if you have assigned one in the /etc/hosts file.
The sd= entry should correspond to the spool directory you created in the previous step.
The rp= entry should correspond to the port name of the remote printer.
The values should be one of lpt1, lpt2 or lpt3 depends on the printer port.
The MFP Server should now be available for printing from your Unix/Linux host.

3. A user always connects the MFP Server.
Contact with the current user and ask the user to disconnect the device.
If the user forgets to disconnect the device, you can inform the administrator to release the device.
4. I can’t use the MFP to scan, print, read the card reader or fax a file even I have followed the installation of MFP in the manual.
Check if the MFP you are using is in the “Compatibility List” in
Appendix.
Attached the MFP to PC directly and try if the MFP is able to use.
5. My computer has installed the firewall and the MFP Server can’t work normally in my computer.
Some firewalls, for example, the “Network Access Manager” firewall program attached with nVidia network card may block the communication between MFP Server and your computer; you have to add the MFP Server programs to the exception list of your firewall. The programs are as follows.
1. Add “servoap.exe” program to the exception list.
2. Add “mfpagent.exe” program to the exception list.

6. When I use LPR, IPP or RAW printing, the printing jobs are not able to print to the MFP or printer.

Windows spooler.
Disable “Bi-Directional Support”. Please follow the steps below.
1. Right click the printer from “Printer and Faxes” in the Windows.
2. Select “Properties” and select “Ports”.
3. Uncheck the “Enable bidirectional support “.
Check if the MFP you are using is in the “Compatibility List” in Appendix or contact your dealer.
