Using this Manual

This manual is presented as an Adobe Acrobat portable document format (.pdf) file. If you are reading this page, you have successfully installed Acrobat or

Acrobat Reader on your computer and opened this document.

The Acrobat Screen

The Acrobat screen is divided into two parts, with bookmarks on the left and pages on the right. The bookmarks act as a Table of Contents for the manual.

Clicking on any bookmark will bring you to that portion of the manual. If a bookmark has a triangle or plus sign to its left, this indicates that there are subtopics located under that bookmark. Click the triangle or plus sign to view the sub-topics, click again to hide them.

Depending on the size of your computer’s screen, you may need to magnify the page. You can choose the magnification you want by clicking on the magnification box in the status bar at the bottom center of the screen.

•

Fit Page shows the entire height of the page.

•

Fit Width shows the entire width of the page. You won’t be able to see some of the top or bottom of the page.

•

Fit Visible is similar to Fit Width, but shows the width of the page between margins.

You can also choose percentage views from the list, or choose Other to create a specific percentage view. You can also use the magnifying glass button in the tool bar to drag over an area of the page you want to enlarge.

When you change the magnification it remains at that setting for all pages until you change it again.

Moving Through Pages

You can move forward and backward through the sections of the Elite 21

User’s Manual by dragging the vertical scroll bar. When you do this, a window will appear showing which page you are selecting.

If you click in the background area of the vertical scroll bar, you’ll move one page at a time. If the magnification you’ve chosen shows less than a full page, you’ll see the top part of each page followed by the bottom part.

vi

You can also use the tool bar buttons to move from page to page.

The GCC manual also contains hyperlinks, marked by the use of Blue text within the manual. Click on any of these links to go to that location.

Finding Text

To find specific information in the manual, use the Find command within

Acrobat. This command takes the place of a traditional index. To use Find, follows these steps:

• Click on the Find button in the tool bar, or go to the Edit menu and select Find.

• The Find dialog box will appear. Enter the word(s) you want to find.

• Click OK. The program takes you to the next place the word appears.

• If you don’t find the information you’re looking for, press Command-G (Macintosh) or

Control-G (Windows) to Find Again. This will bring you to the next place the word appears.

Step 5. Install the Toner Cartridge

1.

Press down on the release button at the top of the printer to open the front cover.

2.

Remove the two orange plastic spacers inserted in the printer by pulling them out of the printer as shown.

Unwrap the toner cartridge and remove the protective sheet of paper from under the front flap of the cartridge. Shake the cartridge from side to side several times as shown to distribute the toner.

4.

Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface and hold the cartridge securely with one hand. Grasp and pull the sealing tape straight out from the side of the cartridge, as shown. Pulling the tape out at an angle may cause it to break.

Do not shake the cartridge or subject it to shocks once the tape is removed, as this may result in toner leakage.

Match up the tabs on the left and right of the cartridge with the channels within the printer. Gently slide the cartridge into the printer as far as it will go.

6.

Close the front cover. Press on the center part of the front cover until the cover locks securely.

Step 7. Connect Printer Cables

Connecting Cables Correctly

Most cables come with some kind of locking device to insure that the connection is made. Be sure to use these locking devices, otherwise you may experience intermittent errors or the printer will fail to operate altogether.

• USB cables are keyed and can only be inserted one way.

• When you have inserted a Parallel port connector, lock the connector by lifting up the wire clips at either end of the socket so that they fit into the slots on the sides of the connector.

• Ethernet 10/100 BaseT connectors have a locking tab similar to connectors on telephone cords. When the plug is fully inserted, the tab clicks into place.

• RS-232 Serial connectors have screws on either side that should be used to secure the cable to the printer.

Improperly inserted cables are the cause of many networking and printer-related problems.

Universal Serial Bus

(USB)

Connection

USB connection ports can be found on nearly all new computers. USB technology allows faster communication than traditional serial connections and is easily expandable through interconnected hubs. All USB cables are the same.

One end of the cable fits into the computer or hub only and the other end fits into the printer only. You cannot connect the cable incorrectly.

Bi-directional Parallel Connection

The bi-directional parallel connection between the printer and a PC requires a standard 36-pin bi-directional cable (to IEEE 1284 standards). The length of this cable can be up to 6.5 feet (2 meters).

1-14

RS-232 Serial Connection

The RS-232 Serial connection between the printer and a PC requires a standard 9-pin RS-232 cable. The length of this cable can be up to 50 feet

(15.4 meters). Serial connections are slower than parallel or Ethernet connections, therefore the RS-232 connection is only recommended for users who require a cable connection greater than 6.5 feet and do not have access to an Ethernet network.

Ethernet Network Connection

The Ethernet interface on your printer lets you connect to an Ethernet network via standard 10 BaseT or 100 BaseT cabling.

1-15

Step 8. Attach Power Cord

1.

Insert the power cord into the AC power connector on the back of the printer as shown.

2.

Check the power switch at the front of the printer to confirm that it is in the Off (O) position.

3.

Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet or power strip.

4.

Switch the power switch to the On (I) position. After the printer warms up, the

“Ready” message should be visible on the control panel’s LCD display and the Ready light will remain on.

1-16

Step 9. Install Printing Software

Driver software for the printer must be installed on every computer that will print to the unit. This section includes installation instructions for Macintosh,

Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0.

Please refer to the chapter of this manual relating to the operating system being used on your computer(s) for detailed software installation instructions, as follows:

Step 10e. Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

You can print more documents and download more fonts to your printer if you add RAM. To do this, you have to open up the printer and insert a SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module). The printer can hold up to 256 MB of RAM, in two SIMM sockets. There is already at least one

SIMM installed in the printer.

Specifications

You can add SIMMs of any size from 2 MB to 128 MB. SIMMs must be non-parity 72-pin, 70 nanoseconds or faster, non-composite, symmetrical, low-profile, 5-volt, and tin leaded. This kind of memory is readily available from many sources, or you can order upgrade kits direct from

GCC. Use only EDO (extended data out) or FPM (fast page mode). You cannot use DIMMs,

SDRAM, or other special RAM technologies. Do not use gold plated connectors. SIMMs do not have to be installed in pairs, nor do you have to add a SIMM of the same size as that already installed. You can install any capacity SIMM in either socket.

Why would I need to add memory to the printer?

GCC printers ship with enough standard RAM to handle most print jobs at the largest page size and resolution supported by the printer. Some print jobs, however, may be more complex than the standard RAM is able to handle and therefore require additional RAM. Jobs with heavy graphical content and/or many font faces will typically require the most memory.

In addition, you’ll need printer RAM for any fonts you download. These require as much RAM as the space they occupy on the hard drive of your computer. In general, each font occupies 50 -

100k of RAM.

You will continue to obtain minor performance improvements as you add additional memory up to a maximum of 256 MB of RAM.

Required tools and safety precautions

You should not need any tools to add memory to your printer. However, you should guard against static discharges. Your body can easily accumulate a static charge; if you touch a sensitive piece of circuitry, you can destroy it without realizing.

GCC strongly recommends that you use a grounding wrist strap. You can buy one from any computer parts outlet. If you do not have a grounding wrist strap, touch the perforated metal chassis of the printer to discharge any static electric charge your body may have.

1-35

RAM Installation Steps

1.

Set the printer’s power switch to the Off (O) position and unplug the power cord from the wall. Removing the side cover of the printer while the unit is turned on may result in damage to the printer.

2. Loosen the two thumbscrews at the top and bottom of the left side cover.

3.

Pull the cover towards the back of the printer and down to remove it.

1-36

SIMM Slots

4.

This will expose the main controller board of the printer. The two RAM SIMM slots are to the right of the board. There are three slots in this area of the board, the two slots to the left are the RAM SIMM slots.

At least one of the SIMM slots should have a RAM SIMM pre-installed. Depending on the existing RAM configuration of the printer, the other slot may or may not be open.

5.

If replacing existing memory with larger capacity SIMMs, remove the existing

SIMM(s) as shown.

Install the new SIMM(s) by positioning the

SIMM into the slot at approximately a 45 degree angle with its notched end at the top of the slot. Gently rotate the SIMM to the right until it clicks into place under the metal guide clips.

1-37

1-38

6.

Replace the side cover by matching up the top of the cover with the slot at the top of the printer (1) and the small tab at the bottom of the cover with the slot in the printer (2).

7.

Slide the cover forward to lock it into place, as shown.

8.

Secure the screws at the top and bottom of the side cover. Reconnect the power cord and restart the printer.

Configuring Printer Drivers for use of Additional Memory

Once the additional memory is installed, you will need to change settings within the driver software on all of the computers that use the printer. This will allow the drivers to properly account for the amount of installed RAM in the printer when sending print jobs. The drivers can be configured as follows:

Macintosh:



• In the Setup window, click on the “Change” pull-down menu and go down to “Memory

Configuration.”

• Change the setting in the “To:” pull-down menu to the correct memory range for your printer

(i.e. - “48-55 MB” for a printer that has been upgraded to between 48 and 55 MB).


Windows 95/98:




• Under Installable Options, click on “VM Option.”

• Under “Change Setting for:,” change the selection to the correct memory range for your printer.


Windows 2000:



• Click on the Device Settings tab, then scroll down to “Installable Options.”

• Click on the link next to “Memory Configuration.” This link will become a pull-down menu.

• Change the selection to the correct memory range for your printer.


Windows NT 4.0:




• Click on “Memory Configuration” from the list of options.

• Under the “Change Setting to:” box, change the selection to the correct memory range for your printer.


1-39

Step 11. Verify Printer Setup

In order to verify that the printer has been set up properly, we recommend sending a simple print job from the computer to the printer. To do this, make sure that the Elite 21 printer is selected as the default printer on your computer, as follows:

Macintosh: Single-click the printer’s icon on the Desktop. Go to the Printing menu, then down to “Set Default Printer.”

Windows (all versions): Go to Start, then Settings, then Printers. Right-click the icon for the printer. Select “Set as Default” from the list.

Once the printer is selected, open an application on the computer (such as

SimpleText on the Mac or NotePad in Windows) and create a simple file. Go to

File and then to Print to print the job.

If the job prints, installation is complete. If the job fails to print, confirm that

Steps 1-10 in this manual have been performed correctly. If the printer still will not print, repeat steps 1 -10. If you still have difficulty getting a document to print, contact GCC Technical Support by phone at (781) 276-8620 (North

America only; outside North America, refer to the back cover) or http://www.gccprinters.com/support or contact your authorized GCC dealer.

1-40

Additional Installation Notes

Configuring Startup Page

The Elite 21 printer will print a Configuration Page each time that the printer is started up. This page serves as a hardware test at startup, to make sure that all printer systems are working properly and that the printer is able to print a page successfully. This page also provides a listing of all user-configurable printer parameters and their current settings, which can be useful in printer troubleshooting.

Some users, especially those who restart their printer often, may wish to disable this page. The steps for disabling the Startup Page are as follows:

• Make sure the printer’s display is reading “Ready.”

• Press Menu up or down until “Configuration” appears.

• Press Item up or down until “Startup Page” appears.

• Press Value up or down until “Disabled” appears.

• Press Select to accept the new setting.

• Press Menu up or down until the display returns to “Ready.”

The Startup Page will not print out the next time the printer is started.

Note: The factory default for the Startup Page is Enabled, so if the printer is reset to defaults using the “Restore Defaults” feature in the Resets menu, the page will be re-enabled. Follow the steps above to disable to page again in this case.

Memory Configuration (Elite 21 DN and Elite 21 SE only)

The GCC Elite 21 Series uses a single PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for all three Elite 21 models. As a result, the default memory setting for the printer is set to 16MB (the minimum amount of shipping RAM for the series) within the PPD file. Users of the Elite 21 DN and Elite 21 SE models should follow the instructions found on Page 78 to assure that the printer driver is set to use the appropriate amount of memory. The Elite 21 DN ships with 32MB of

1-41

standard RAM; the Elite 21 SE ships with 64MB standard.

Hard Drive Configuration (Elite 21 SE only)

The Elite 21 SE ships with a standard 4GB hard drive pre-installed. The PPD file for the Elite 21 Series, however, defaults to “Not Installed” for the hard drive option. Users of the Elite 21 SE model will therefore need to change the driver configuration to reflect the presence of the hard drive, as follows:

Macintosh:



• In the Setup window, click on the “Change” pull-down menu and go down to “Internal Hard

Disk.”



Windows 95/98:




• Under Installable Options, click on “Internal Hard Disk.”



Windows 2000:



• Click on the Device Settings tab, then scroll down to “Installable Options.”

• Click on the link next to “Internal Hard Disk.” This link will become a pull-down menu.

2-23

2-24

Paper Source: Specifies which paper tray the paper is to be drawn from. The options on the pull-down menu are as follows:

Auto Select - Sends job to the tray on the printer holding the paper size specified in the document.

Tray 1 - Sends the job to the Multi-Purpose

Feeder (Tray 1) of the printer

Tray 2-4 - Sends the job to the standard lower paper tray of the printer (Tray 2) or an additional lower paper tray (Tray 3-4), if present. Trays that are not installed are greyed out.

Envelope Feeder - Sends the job to the envelope feeder. Greyed out unless the feeder is installed.

Manual Feed - Sends the job to the Multi-

Purpose Feeder (Tray 1). You will be prompted to press the Select button on the front panel before the job is printed.

This pull-down menu also contains selections for

Paper Type (Plain Paper, Preprinted, Letterhead,

Transparency, Prepunched, Labels, Bond,

Recycled, Color, Card Stock, Rough, Normal 1, 2 and 3 and Thick 1 and 2). Select the appropriate type for each source, or use Auto Select to automatically select the paper type.

These settings are used to automatically direct output to the correct tray. For example, if the Tray

1 Type on the printer’s front panel has been set to

“Letterhead,” selecting “Letterhead” from this menu will automatically send the job to Tray 1.

The Paper Source options also allow a different source to be specified for the first page of a document than for the remaining pages. This is useful when printing correspondence with the first page on letterhead and remaining pages on plain paper, for example. To print the first page from a different source, select a Paper Source for both the “First Page From” and “Remaining

From” categories. Otherwise, select “All From” to print all pages from the same tray.

Clicking on the General pull-down menu will bring up a list of menu categories, as follows:

These menus control the following settings:

Background Printing allows you to enable or disable Background Printing. This is the feature that allows the print job to be sent in the background while you continue to use the computer for other tasks. This section also allows you to set the priority of print jobs, or specify a later time and/or date for the job to be sent.

Color Matching determines the way that colors are handled within a print job. For the Elite 21 printer, the appropriate settings would be Color/Greyscale (prints colors as greyscales) or Black and White (all images are converted to black or white).

Cover Page allows you to specify whether or not a cover page is printed with the document.

This page provides information on who sent the print job, which application produced the document, what the name of the document is and the date that the job was sent. This is useful in identifying jobs sent to a network printer used by many different users. This section also allows you to specify whether the cover page is printed before or after the job, and which paper source the cover page should be printed from.

Font Settings allows you to set the preferred font format (Type 1 or TrueType) and whether or not the fonts should always be downloaded with a print job.

2-25

Job Logging determines how the Macintosh should report printer errors (no reporting, summarize on screen or print detailed error report). This section also allows you to enable or disable Job Copy (a copy of the printer file for each job is saved on the computer) and/or Job

Log (a log of all print jobs is generated and saved on the computer).

2-26

Layout allows you to set the number of pages per sheet (1, 2 or 4, scaled to fit accordingly) and any default border for the page. This section also controls double-sided (duplex) printing if your printer is equipped with the optional Duplex Unit. To enable duplexing, click “Print on Both

Sides” and select the appropriate binding method (left and right, or top and bottom). The printer will automatically print the double-sided pages accordingly.

Paper Handling determines what the printer does in the event that it runs out of paper. The options are “Use printer’s default” (defaults to the selection on the printer’s Paper Handling menu), “Switch to another cassette with the same paper size,” or “Display alert.”

Save as File controls the settings for jobs saved as PostScript output files rather than sent to the printer. These settings include file format, PostScript compatibility, encoding and font inclusion. If saving PostScript files for submission to a service bureau, etc., check to see their preferred output settings.

Elite 21 Options is the last menu item. This section contains selections for Print Resolution for the job (600 or 1200 dpi) and Output Bin. The selections for Output Bin are:

Use Current Printer Setting - Uses the default output bin specified in the printer’s Paper

Handling submenu.

Standard Bin - Uses the standard output bin at the top of the printer.

Upper Bin - Offset - Uses the optional Upper Output Bin, with collated copies offset.

Upper Bin - No offset - Uses the optional Upper Output Bin, without any offset.

Each menu item in the Print dialog box also has three buttons at the bottom of the window.

These are “Save Settings,” “Cancel” or “Print.” The “Save Settings” button will save the current set of selections as the default for the printer selected in the “Printer” pull-down menu at the top of the window. The “Cancel” button will leave the Print dialog and return you to the application without sending a print job. The “Print” button will send the job to the printer. If “File” is selected as the “Destination” at the top of the window, the “Print” button will change to “Save” and will prompt you to enter a file name and location to save the PostScript output file to.

When all the settings are correctly selected in all the Print dialog windows, click on the Print button at the bottom of the window to send the job to the printer.

Additional Macintosh Information

The NIManage Utility

The Elite 21 Series Macintosh software includes a utility program called

NIManage, which can be used to control certain network settings for the printer.

This utility will only work with printers connected to the Macintosh network via

EtherTalk, however.

Installing NIManage

NIManage is automatically installed onto the Macintosh as part of the initial

Mac software installation.The installer will place the NIManage utility in a folder called GCC Elite 21 Folder on your hard drive.

Using NIManage

To start the NIManage utility, open the GCC Elite 21 Folder on your hard drive and double-click the NIManage icon. This will bring up the “Select Printer” window. Click your printer name from the list of available printers, then click

Select.

This will select the printer and allow configuration changes to be made to the unit. Clicking on the Printer Networking menu at the top of the screen will bring up the following options:

2-28

The greyed out options are not available with this printer. The available options are as follows:

• Setup AppleTalk... - Allows the printer’s AppleTalk network name and zone to be set. Selecting a new AppleTalk name will allow users of multiple printers to give each printer a distinctive name on the network.

• View Error Log - Shows a log of any PostScript errors experienced by the printer.

• Setup TCP/IP & NetWare... - Allows TCP/IP and NetWare settings to be made for the printer. This allows another configuration option for these settings besides the printer’s front panel or WebAdmin.

• Configure Status Page... - Turns the printer’s automatic Network Status

Page on or off.

Online Driver Software Updates

The Elite 21 Series Macintosh software includes also installs a file called Elite

21 Updater into the Elite 21 Folder on your hard drive. This Updater is a utility which automatically checks GCC’s web site for newer driver software and installs the new software onto your system as needed. You should not need to run this Updater during or immediately following the initial software installation onto your Macintosh. You may wish to run the Updater periodically to check for software updates for the printer. This updater requires an Internet connection, so be sure that your Macintosh is setup for Internet access before running the

Elite 21 Updater utility.

2-29

Printing Binary Data (USB or LPR connection)

Users may experience problems printing files with binary data to the Elite 21 printer using a USB or LPR-based connection due to the way that binary information is processed via these protocols. GCC has developed a printing plug-in called a TBCP (Tagged Binary Communications Protocol) Filter which resolves this problem, however users must be using MacOS 9.0 or higher with

LaserWriter driver version 8.7 or higher for this file to work.

Options for users of Mac OS 8.x (using LaserWriter 8.6.5 or below)

• Try disabling Binary printing, as follows:

• From the Desktop, go to File and Print Desktop.

• In the Print window, hold down the Option key on the keyboard and click on the General pull-down menu.

• An item marked “Preferences” should appear at the bottom of the list. Pull down to this item.

• A list of printing preferences will appear. Check the list item marked “Never

Send Binary Data.” Do not make any other changes to the options.

Click “Save Changes” to accept.

This will keep the driver from generating binary data when sending jobs to the printer. It will not, however, resolve issues with embedded binary data within print jobs (binary EPS graphic files embedded in a document, for example). If problems with binary files continue, you may need to pursue one of the other options.

• Switch from USB or LPR to a standard EtherTalk connection. The

AppleTalk/EtherTalk protocol does not have this issue with binary data.

• Make sure that all elements (graphics, etc.) are saved in ASCII format within the applications that produced them.

• Upgrade from MacOS 8.x to MacOS 9.x and use the TBCP Filter as outlined on the next page.

2-30

Options for users of Mac OS 9.x (using LaserWriter 8.7 or higher)

Enable the TBCP Filter software, as follows:

• Make sure the Elite 21 printer is set as the default printer for the Mac.

• From the Desktop, go to File and Print Desktop.

• Click on the General pull-down menu and pull down to Plug-In

Preferences.

• The window pictured below should open. Click on the box next to “Print

Time Filters.” Click on the triangle icon next to “Print Time Filters” to show the item(s) below it.

• Click on the box next to “TBCP” to enable the filter.

• Click on “Save Settings” to save the settings for the printer.

This setting will allow binary data to be properly handled by USB or LPR protocols on the Mac.

Additional Windows 95/98 Information


Users may experience problems printing files with binary data to the Elite 21 printer using a USB or LPR-based connection due to the way that binary information is processed via these protocols. Using a protocol called TBCP

(Tagged Binary Communications Protocol) will avoid problems of this sort.

Windows 95/98’s standard PostScript drivers contain settings that can be selected to allow jobs to be sent correctly to the printer using TBCP. If you experience problems sending jobs to the printer containing binary data, check the data format setting for files being sent to the printer as follows:

• Go to the Start menu in Windows, then up to Settings and to Printers.

• Right-click the icon for your Elite 21 printer and select Properties.

• Click on the PostScript tab in the Properties window.

• Click on the Advanced... button in the PostScript window.

• In the Advanced Settings window, set the Data Format to “Tagged Binary

Communications Protocol.”

• Select “Send Ctrl+D After Job.”

• Click OK and Apply to accept the settings.

This should eliminate any PostScript errors generated by the sending of binary data over USB or LPR from Windows 95/98.

6. The Elite 21 Control Panel

This Chapter will cover the various functions of the Elite 21 Series control panel.

This includes the following:

• LCD Display Window

• Status Lights

• Function Keys

• The Elite 21 Menu System

• Menu Items

6-1

Introduction to the Elite 21 control panel

The Elite 21 Control Panel is used to get information about the printer and to adjust specific printer functions. It includes an LCD display window, three LEDs that show the status of the printer at all times, and eight pushbuttons.

Control panel (LCD) display window

The LCD display window has several functions. It shows:

• The current status of the printer.

• Error messages.

• Prompts to complete tasks, like “Insert Paper.”

• The Elite 21 menus and submenus.

When the printer is not printing, “Ready” is displayed in the display window.

Status Lights

Function Keys

Control panel status lights

The control panel status lights indicate the following:

When the Ready light is solid (lit and not flashing), the Elite 21 is ready to receive data and print. When the printer is turned on, this light flashes while the printer is initializing.

When the Data light flashes, one of the Elite 21’s interface ports is receiving or transmitting data.

6-2

The Attention light flashes when the printer requires attention. A message will appear in the LCD display panel explaining what the printer requires.

Control panel function keys

Menu keys

The Menu keys are used to scroll through the printer’s various internal menus.

When the printer is displaying “Ready” on the LCD display, the Menu keys can be used to scroll through the following menus:

• Held Job (appears only if “Hold Last Job” is enabled under “Configuration.”)

• Information

• Paper Handling

• Print Quality

• Printing

• Configuration

• Input/Output

• Resets

The functions of these menus are explained in the next section.

Item keys

The Item keys are used to access the various items and submenus found under the eight main menu items listed above. Use the Menu keys to access the proper main menu heading, then the Item key to scroll through the menu items.

Value keys

The Value keys are used to adjust any front panel-selectable options from the menus. Use the Value keys to scroll through the options for each item.

Select key

The Select key is used to confirm any changes that are made within the menus.

Cancel Job key

The Cancel Job key is used to cancel a PostScript job that is either processing or waiting to print. To cancel printing, press the the Cancel Job.

6-3

The Elite 21 menu system

The menu system consists of a number of main menus. Some main menus contain submenus. Some menus only give you information, while others let you change settings.

Depending on the printer’s configuration, some menu items may not appear. For example, if “Hold Last Job” is disabled in the “Configuration” menu, the “Held Job” menu will not appear. Also, menu items related to optional items that are not installed on your printer will not appear.

We recommend printing out a Menu Map from the printer to view the menu structure and the current settings for your printer. This can be done as follows:

• Turn on the printer and wait for “Ready” to appear in the LCD window.

• Press either Menu key until “Information” appears.

• Press either Item key until “Print Menu Map” appears.

• Press the Select key to print the job.

This will print out a page showing the various submenus of the printer and their current settings. Functions that are not applicable to your printer will be greyed out. This page is helpful in determining the location of a particular setting that you may wish to change.

Do I need to change control panel menus?

The factory default menu settings suit most users. If you have specialized printing or connection needs, you may need to change these settings.

We suggest reading the remainder of this chapter to understand the function(s) of each menu item.

If you change settings, make a note on the Menu Map page of the setting(s) that you’ve changed. This provides a record of changes and will help troubleshoot what needs to be done if your printer behaves incorrectly.

6-4

Main Menu Items

1. Held Job

This menu controls the handling of Held Jobs within the printer. If “Hold Last Job” is enabled in the Configuration menu of the printer (see #6), the printer will hold the last job printed. This is useful for proofing a job before sending multiple copies; as you can check the first copy at the printer and send the remaining copies through this print menu. This menu contains the following items:

• Held Copies: This item controls the number of copies of the held job to print.

The default is 1 copy, as many as 999 copies can be specified from the front panel. Press the Value up or down key to set the desired number of copies, then press Select to accept.

• Print Held Job: Tells the printer to print the held job. The number of copies is determined by the setting under “Held Copies.” Press Select to print the job.

• Delete Held Job: This setting is used to delete the held job from the printer’s memory. This should be used if the last job printed contained confidential or sensitive information, or if the last job was particularly memory intensive and is taking up excess RAM that could be used to process the next job. Press

Select to delete the job.

2. Information

This menu allows you to print out informational pages from the printer. Use the

Item keys to access the page that you wish to print, then press Select to print the page. The available pages are as follows:

• Print Menu Map: Prints a listing of menu items and current settings.

• Print Config: Prints a configuration page, displaying information such as Page

Count, Serial Number, Paper Tray Status and a list of current settings for all user-selectable options.

7-1

7-2

Assigning an IP address

In order to access the printer over most networks and also to access printer management controls such as WebAdmin, the printer should be assigned an IP address. The printer can be assigned an IP address in a number of ways.

Assigning TCP/IP parameters through the printer’s front panel:

• Turn on the printer and press either Menu key until Input/Output appears.

• Press either Item key until TCP/IP appears.

• Press either Value key to set TCP/IP to Enabled. Press Select to confirm.

• Press the Item down key to advance to Gateway Address. Press Value to set the Gateway Address setting. This is the default router address on the network. If using a router, enter its IP address here, otherwise leave this field at its default (0.0.0.0). To change this setting, press Value + or - to change each bank of numbers, then Select to confirm the selection and go to the next bank of numbers.

• Press Select once again when the correct Gateway Address is entered. This change requires a printer restart, so the LCD will prompt to Restart Now or

Restart Later. Press either Item key to select Restart Later, and press

Select. All TCP/IP menu settings should be changed before restarting the printer.

• Press Item down to proceed to the Subnet Mask setting. Press Value + or to change each bank of numbers in the same way that the Gateway

Address was changed. The Subnet Mask on the printer should match the setting for all the computers and other devices on the same network. Press

Select when the Subnet Mask is set to the desired value, then select

Restart Later once again.

• Press Item down to proceed to the IP Address setting. Press Value + or - to change each bank of numbers in the same way that the Gateway Address and Subnet Mask settings were changed. Press Select when the IP

Address is set to the desired value.

• The LCD window will once again prompt to Restart Now or Restart Later.

Use either Item key to select Restart Now, then press Select. The printer will reboot and the TCP/IP settings you selected will become active.

Assigning TCP/IP Parameters Using DHCP:

The Elite 21 printer also supports IP configuration via a Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. DHCP is a protocol which delivers IP address configuration information to devices on a network. A DHCP server manages a pool of available IP addresses and grants requests for addresses from devices on the network.

At power-up, the printer broadcasts a DHCP request for an IP address. If a

DHCP server is present the request will be processed, and an IP address will be returned to the printer. Upon receipt of the IP address, the printer resets and prints a network status page. The network status page will list the new IP address and other IP settings (Subnet Mask, Default Gateway). Once an IP address has been assigned to the printer, it will no longer broadcast DHCP requests. Therefore, printer IP address assignment with DHCP will only work when the printer does not have an existing IP address.

The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a temporary lease or temporary reservation, which expires after a period, or may grant a permanent or unlimited lease or reservation which does not expire.

Devices that are granted a temporary lease will be notified before the lease expires and asked if they would like to extend the lease. The printer will continue extending its lease indefinitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP server configuration) and thus maintain a consistent IP address.

IMPORTANT: If the printer is not turned on or is not connected to the network during the period when the DHCP server is sending requests to extend the lease, the lease will not be extended. The DHCP server will cancel the lease and may assign the IP address to another device. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you explicitly specify the printer lease as permanent or unlimited in your DHCP server configuration.

If you prefer not to use DHCP for IP address assignment, it may be disabled using WebAdmin. The enable/disable DHCP setting may be found by selecting

Network in WebAdmin, then going under Protocols to Setup TCP/IP. See

Chapter 8 for details.

Macintosh Configuration

The Elite 21 printer can be accessed by a Macintosh network using either the

EtherTalk (AppleTalk via Ethernet) protocol, or directly over TCP/IP by using

Apple’s Desktop Printer Utility to select the printer via LPR.

EtherTalk Configuration:

To access the printer using EtherTalk, make sure that EtherTalk support is activated on the printer following these steps:

• Turn on the printer and press either Menu key until Input/Output appears.

• Press either Item key until EtherTalk appears.

• Press either Value key to set EtherTalk to Enabled. Press Select to confirm.

• Restart the printer to activate this setting.

This will allow the printer’s Ethernet interface to communicate using EtherTalk.

To set up the printer, consult the “Installation for Printers Connected by

EtherTalk” portion of Chapter 2 of this manual (Using the Elite 21 with a

Macintosh).

Macintosh LPR Configuration:

To access the printer using LPR from a Macintosh, TCP/IP must be activated on the printer and the printer must be assigned an IP address. Follow the steps in the previous section (Assigning an IP Address) to enable TCP/IP and set all the necessary parameters.

This will allow the printer’s Ethernet interface to communicate using TCP/IP and accept LPR jobs. To set up the printer, consult the “Installation for Printers

Connected by LPR” portion of Chapter 2 of this manual (Using the Elite 21 with a Macintosh).

7-4

Windows 95/98 Configuration

The Elite 21 CD-ROM contains software to allow the printer to be accessed as a peer-to-peer device on a Windows 95/98 Ethernet network. This includes software to allow the printer to be accessed as a peer-to-peer device using

TCP/IP, or using IPX/SPX. We recommend using the TCP/IP option for most

users, if you prefer to use IPX, see instructions on page 7-10 .

Configuring a peer-to-peer connection via TCP/IP

First, make sure that TCP/IP is enabled and configured within Windows. To do this, go to the Start menu, then to Settings, Control Panels, and select Network.

Click on Protocols, and make sure “TCP/IP Protocol” is present on the list of supported protocols. If not, click on Add to install it. Consult your Windows documentation for more information. Once installed, click on TCP/IP Protocol from the list of supported protocols, click Properties and enter all necessary

TCP/IP settings for the PC. Your network administrator may need to assist with this process.

Once the PC is set up to use TCP/IP, confirm that all the TCP/IP settings are properly set on the printer. If an IP address has not been assigned to the printer, assign one following the instructions at the beginning of this chapter.

Make sure that the PC and printer are both properly connected to the network, then run the IP-P2P software located on the Elite 21 CD-ROM. This software will create a TCP/IP port for the printer within Windows and allow you to select the printer using that port.

To install the IP-P2P software on the PC, follow these steps:

• Insert the Elite 21 CD-ROM into the PC.

• Open the “My Computer” icon from the desktop, and double-click the CD-

ROM icon to open the CD window.

• Double-click the Network folder on the Elite 21 CD-ROM, then double-click the IP-P2P 2.70 folder, then the file called “SETUP.EXE” within this folder.

• This will run the IP-P2P installer. Follow the steps in the installer to install the software.

7-5

Once the IP-P2P software is installed, you can run the program to create the

TCP/IP port for the printer, as follows:

• Make sure the printer is turned on and is showing “Ready” in its display window.

• Go to the Windows Start menu, then to Applications and down to “IP-P2P.”

Select the IP-P2P program within that folder.

• The IP-P2P program will run, bringing up the following window:

7-6

The “Max Hops for” setting determines how many networks the program will search for compatible printers. A setting of Zero would search only the network directly connected to the PC, a setting of 4 would search the directly connected network and all networks accessible through four routers.

Try to use only as high a number as necessary to access your printer, as higher numbers can produce increased network traffic.

The “IP Port” setting is the base port number for the print server. This setting should be set to one number below the desired port setting on the printer. The printer defaults to a base IP port number of 10001, so the IP-

P2P program defaults to a value of 10000. This value would only need to be changed if the base IP port on the printer was changed. To confirm the IP port of the printer, you can print out a Network Status page, as follows:

• Press either Menu key until Information appears.

• Press either Item key until Print Net Status appears.

• Press Select to print the page.

At the bottom of the page will be a listing for TCP/IP Connection

Information, Port Number. Note this port number, and enter a value one below this port number in the “IP Port” field of the IP-P2P window.

The “Printer Names” section determines how the printer name will appear in the Windows ports list:

• Based on Serial Numbers will list the printer port as the same as the serial number of the printer.

• Based on IP Address will list the printer port as the same as the serial number of the printer.

• Based on DNS Name will list the printer port as the same as the printer’s

DNS name, if assigned.

• Based on Unit Name will list the printer port as the same as the Novell printer name of the printer (also found on the Network Status Page.) The default Print Server name is ‘GCC_’ followed by a six-digit serial number

(e.g., GCC_123456.)

Select which option you prefer from this list. Once these options are set in the initial IP-P2P window, you can proceed with the configuration.

• Click on the “Printers...” button. A window like the one on the next page will appear.

7-7

7-8

• Click on “Find Printers” to locate all available printers on the network. A list of compatible printers will appear at the bottom of the window.

• Click on the name of the printer you wish to access via TCP/IP from the list and click on “Select.” This will cause an IP port for the printer to be added to the list of available printer ports in Windows. Click on “Permanent” if you wish for a particular printer to stay on the list permanently, even if the listing is cleared using the “Clear” button.

• Click OK to exit the IP-P2P program.

Once this procedure has been followed, the new TCP/IP port can be assigned to the printer, as follows:

• If the printer driver has not yet been installed for the printer, install it according to the instructions in Chapter 3 of this manual, “Using the Elite 21 with Windows 95/98.”

• Click on the Start button. Select Settings and then Printers.

• Locate the icon for the Elite 21 printer that you have installed. Right-click on the printer icon and select Properties.

• Click on the Details tab at the top of the Properties window. The following window should appear:

• The new port that was created for the printer should appear at the top of the list of available ports. Click on this port to select it from the list, then click

OK to accept the new setting. This will allow the PC to send jobs to the printer over TCP/IP. Repeat this procedure on all PCs that are to use the

7-9

printer over TCP/IP.

Configuring a peer-to-peer connection via IPX

First, make sure that IPX is enabled and configured within Windows. To do this, go to the Start menu, then to Settings, Control Panels, and select Network.

Click on Protocols, and make sure “IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol” is present on the list of supported protocols. If not, click on Add to install it. Consult your

Windows documentation for more information.

Once the PC is set up to use IPX, confirm that NetWare support is active on the printer. Enabling NetWare will allow IPX support to be enabled on the printer, so Netware must be set to Enabled even if not using a Novell NetWare network. Follow these steps to enable Netware:

7-10

• Start the printer and wait for the LCD display to read Ready.

• Press either Menu key until Input/Output appears.

• Press either Item key until NetWare appears.

• Press either Value key until Enable appears. Press Select.

• The display will read “Restart Printer?” Press either Item key to select

Restart Now, then press Select. The printer will restart, and NetWare will be enabled.

Make sure that the PC and printer are both properly connected to the network, then run the IPX-P2P software located on the Elite 21 CD-ROM. This software will create an IPX port for the printer within Windows and allow you to select the printer using that port.

To install the IPX-P2P software on the PC, follow these steps:

• Insert the Elite 21 CD-ROM into the PC.

• Open the “My Computer” icon from the desktop, and double-click the CD-

ROM icon to open the CD window.

• Double-click the Network folder on the Elite 21 CD-ROM, then double-click the IPX-P2P 1.63 folder, then the file called “SETUP.EXE” within this folder.•

This will run the IPX-P2P installer. Follow the steps in the installer to install the software.

Once the IPX-P2P software is installed, you can run the program to create the

IPX port for the printer, as follows:

• Make sure the printer is turned on and is showing “Ready” in its display window.

• Go to the Windows Start menu, then to Applications and down to “IPX-P2P.”

Select the IPX-P2P program within that folder.

• The IPX Setup window will appear. Click “Find Printers” to search for compatible printers on the network.

• A list of compatible printers will appear. Click on the name of the printer you wish to access via IPX from the list and click on “Select.” This will cause an

IPX port for the printer to be added to the list of available printer ports in

Windows. Click on “Permanent” if you wish for a particular printer to stay on the list permanently, even if the listing is cleared using the “Clear” button.

• Click OK to exit the IPX-P2P program.

Once this procedure has been followed, the new TCP/IP port can be assigned to the printer, as follows:

• If the printer driver has not yet been installed for the printer, install it according to the instructions in Chapter 3 of this manual, “Using the Elite 21 with Windows 95/98.”

• Click on the Start button. Select Settings and then Printers.


• Click on the Details tab at the top of the Properties window. The Details window should appear, including a list of available printer ports.

• Under “Queue Name,” fill in a name for the print queue.

• Click OK and Apply to accept the changes to the port.

This will allow the Windows 2000 server to print to the Elite 21 using LPR.

Selecting a Shared Printer

This section briefly describes the steps for setting up client access to a shared printer. This will allow other PCs on the network to print to the printer over the

Windows 2000 server.

Windows 95/98:

In the Printer Properties on the Details tab. Click the Add Port button and browse the network for the shared printer. Look for the Share Name that was selected when setting up the printer on the Win2000 server.

Windows 2000/NT 4.0:

Add a new printer (with Add Printer), select “Network Printer Server” rather than

My Computer and choose the shared printer from the shared printers list. Look for the Share Name that was selected when setting up the printer on the

Win2000 server.

7-13

Windows NT 4.0 Configuration

There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.

We recommend using the built-in LPR protocol within Windows NT 4.0 to access the printer. LPR print services may be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in this section.

Peer-to-peer print services may also be used by following the Windows 95/98 instructions in this guide. Peer-to-peer print services use the IPX protocol and may be preferable when TCP/IP setup is not desired.

Windows NT printing is very flexible.You can configure the individual Windows

NT or Windows 95/98 workstations to print using a different protocol than the

Windows NT server. For example, a Windows NT server could be configured to print via TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The printer could then be designated as shared on the NT server, allowing workstations to print via the

NT server using a different protocol (such as the default NetBEUI). The optimum Windows NT printing configuration depends upon the particular environment and user and administrator experience and preferences.

Generally, LPR printing over TCP/IP covered in the following instructions is the best choice for environments where TCP/IP is already in use.

TCP/IP Required Components

The Windows NT 4.0 system performing the NIC configuration must have the

TCP/IP protocol installed. The following steps describe how to check for and, if necessary, add the required TCP/IP components.

• Click on the Windows Start button. Select Settings and Control Panel.

• Double click on Network and select the Protocols tab. If TCP/IP Protocol is not on the list of Network Protocols, click on Add to install it.

• Select the Services tab. If either Microsoft TCP/IP Printing or Simple

TCP/IP Services is not on the list of Network Services, click on Add to install them.

7-14

• Click on Close when all protocols and services have been added. If the

TCP/IP protocol has just been added, Windows will prompt for the IP address and other TCP/IP parameters. The new protocols and services will not be available until the system is restarted.

Setting Up LPR Printing

If the printer driver has not already been installed, please install it before continuing. Instructions for installing the printer are found in Chapter 5 of this manual, Using the Elite 21 with Windows NT 4.0. Install the printer as if it were a local printer connected to the parallel (LPT1) port. The following instructions will cover setting up the NT server to direct output to the printer as an LPR device.

Please note: In the following instructions, some field or dialog names may vary depending on the NT release pack in use.

• Click on the Start Button. Select Settings and then Printers.


• Click on the Ports tab and click on Add Port.

• Double click on “LPR Port” from the list of available printer ports.

• In the “Name or address of host providing lpd:” field, enter the IP address of the printer. If the printer does not have an IP address, please follow the instructions at the beginning of this section under Assigning an IP Address to assign one.

• In the “Name of printer or print queue on that server:” field, enter LPR1 and click OK.

• Click on Close to close the Printer Ports dialog. The printer’s IP address is now displayed and currently selected on the list of ports.

Information matches exactly with the Print Server name that was entered in PCONSOLE.

Novell NetWare 4.x Configuration

The GCC Elite 21 printer includes standard support for NetWare 4.x peer-topeer networking. Before configuring the NetWare server to access the printer, however, NetWare support must be enabled on the printer, as follows:







Also, before starting the NetWare server configuration, you should print out a

Network Status Page from the printer. This page provides information that is helpful during the configuration. The page is printed as follows:


• Press either item button until Print Net Status appears.


Bindery vs. NDS Setup

Novell's NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes: NetWare Directory Services

(NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The printer may be configured to operate with

Bindery Services mode only, or to operate under NDS. When configured under

NDS, the printer will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode.

This section contains instructions for installing the printer in either mode.

7-19

Setting Up the Elite 21 Using Bindery Emulation Mode

1. Confirm Bindery Context

Before installing the printer on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery

Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery

Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the printer must be used in Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context.

Perform the following steps to confirm the server has Bindery Context:

• Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install

• Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.

• Select NCF Files Options from the menu.

• Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu.

• Search the file to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:

SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG

Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the file server context.

Use your own file server context in place of =0U=ENG.

• At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement that you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The definition in the file takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted.

7-20

2. Configure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE

Once you confirm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to configure the printer:

• Log into the network as ADMIN.

• Type PCONSOLE and press the return key. The Available Options menu will appear.

• When the Available Options menu appears, press the O key (for the

Bindery Mode).

Note: If you receive a message asking you to login to a server with

Bindery connections, the server you are attached to does not have

Bindery Mode enabled. Follow the procedures in Step 1 (Confirm

Bindery Context) or log onto a server with Bindery Services activated.

• From the Available Options screen, select Quick Setup and press the return key. Use Quick Setup to connect your Print Server, Print Queue and Printer correctly. You can modify these later if you need to.

• Select Print Server and press the N key to modify the entry.

• Enter the name of the print server in the Print Server field and press the

Return key.

Note: The print server name is printed under the Novell Network

Information on the printer’s Network Status Page. The factory default name consists of GCC, an underscore and a six-digit number (i.e. -

GCC_123456).

• Press the ESC key to move to the New Printer field. Enter a name and press the Return key.

• Press the ESC key to move to the New Print Queue field. Enter a name and press the Return key.

• Press the ESC key to move to the Printer Type field and press the Return key. From the list of printer types, select Other/Unknown and press the

Return key.

• When you are finished, press the U key to save the configuration. Repeat these steps for each file server that the printer server services.

• To view, add, delete, or modify print servers or queues after the initial setup, access PCONSOLE again and select either the Print Queues or

Print Servers option on the Available Options screen.

7-21

Setting up the Elite 21 Using NetWare Directory Services (NDS)

Introduction to NDS

NetWare Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory Server, because it services named Directory Objects such as printers, print servers and print queues. With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object which, once configured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server. NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network database rather than a individually defined physical sites. The result is greatly improved print server setup and management.

The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x

NetWare versions provide the same data found in the DIB but the data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned.

The Directory uses an object-oriented structure rather than the flat-file structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access found in the Bindery.

The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through

Bindery emulation mode. The previous section describes Print Server operation with a 4.x NetWare system in Bindery Emulation Mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed. Be aware that information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the

NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications making

Bindery requests will not know the difference.

7-22

You may use NWADMIN to configure the printer in NDS. Prior to printing, NDS

must be set up as follows and the Print Server Card must be set up with NDS

Context and Tree. The steps below describe the use of NWADMIN configuration to create printer, print server, and print queue objects. Then you will assign, or associate, those objects with each other. If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server, you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a SET statement in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

For those who prefer, NetWare does offer PCONSOLE as an alternative to

NWADMIN. PCONSOLE can be used to set up static information about print servers such as: which queues to service, and whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for NDS.

1. Create Printer Object

• Click on the NWADMIN icon in the NetWare Tools group in Windows. The

NetWare Administrator window will appear. To bring up your Directory

Tree, open a Browser window by clicking on the Tools menu item then the Browse item.

• Highlight the Organizational Unit or Organization where you want to create the print service in the Directory Tree, select the Object item from the main menu and choose Create.

Note: If you wish, you can create objects another way in NWADMIN by: selecting an Organizational Unit, clicking on the right mouse button

(which produces a pop-up menu), and clicking on Create... (use the left mouse button to bring up the New Object window). From this point, the procedure continues as described.

• When the New Object window appears, scroll down the Class of New

Object icon list, select the Printer icon and click on the OK button.

• When the Create Printer window appears, type a value in the Printer

Name field and click on the Create button.

2. Create Print Server Object

• Again, highlight the Organizational Unit, select the Object item from the menu and choose Create.

• At the New Object window, scroll down the Class of New Object icon list, select the Print Server icon, and click on the OK button.

• At the Create Print Server window, type a value in the Print Server Name

7-23

field and click on the Create button.

3 Create Print Queue Object

• Once again, highlight the Organizational Unit, select the Object item from the menu and choose Create.

• At the New Object window, scroll down the Class of New Object icon list, select the Print Queue icon, and click on the OK button.

• At the Create Print Queue screen, click on the Directory Service Queue button, then type in values for Print Queue Name and Print Queue

Volume and click on the Create button. If you don't know the Print Queue

Volume name (the hard drive you will be accessing), click on the icon to the right of the volume field. The Select Object window will appear with the volume listed in Objects. If the volume is not listed, scroll the

Directory Context items until you find the volume where you want the queue to reside.

• Click on the object (hard drive) of your choice and it will appear in the

Selected Object: field. Click on the OK button. The full volume will now appear in the Print Queue Volume field. Finally, click on the Create button.

4. Assign Printer Object

• Go to the Directory Tree. Double click on the printer object just created and bring up the Printer window. See below. Find the Assignments button on the right-side of the window and click on the Add button.

• When the Select Object window appears, find the print queue object just created among the choices listed in the Objects box and select it.

• Click on the OK button and the print queue just created is added to the

Print Queues: box in the Printer: window. Click on the OK button again.

7-24

5. Assign Print Server Object

• At the Directory Tree, double click on the print server object you just created and bring up the Print Server window.

• At the Print Server: window, click on the Assignments button and Add button to bring up the Select Object window. Select the printer object just created from the Objects: box and click on the OK button. Now the printer

(with its context) appears in the Printers: box of the Print Server window.

Click on the OK button.

6. Check Assignments

• At the Directory Tree, double click on the Print Queue object you just created. At the Print Queue window, click on the Assignments button. If you configured the print queue and printer correctly they will appear in the proper boxes on the Print Queue window. Press the Cancel button.

7. Set Up and Reset the Printer

• NWADMIN configuration is complete. Before you can begin printing, however, follow the steps in the next section (Printer Configuration) and reset (power cycle) the printer.

Printer Configuration

WebAdmin must used to define the context and tree of the Print Server. It is also used to change the Print Server name, set a password, modify scan and frame search parameters, and set bindery-mode specific values.

Use the MAP utility or type the printer’s IP address into your web browser (refer to Chapter 8) to access the WebAdmin pages of the printer. Once you have accessed WebAdmin, click on “Network” from the options on the left and do the following:

1. Select Setup NetWare under Protocols.

2. Select Enable NetWare. If it is not selected, the NetWare protocols will not come up, the printer will not appear as an advertised device, and the printer will not be accessible using IPX SNMP.

3. The default name for the NetWare Print Server is GCC and a six-digit number (i.e. GCC_123456). This is also the default name of the printer in peer-to-peer mode. If you want to change the default Print Server name, type this name in the Print Server Name space. Leave the space blank if the default name is to be used.

4. If you want the printer to login with a password, this password may be entered in the Print Server Password field, and again in the Password

Retype field. If a password is used, this password must be the same password for all bindery-based and NDS-based Print Server entries.

5. Enter the name of a preferred bindery-based file server in the Preferred File

Server field. The Preferred File Server entry is significant only for bindery or

7-25

7-26 bindery emulation based operations. The Print Server must be configured on the preferred file server. Incorrect setup of a Preferred File Server can interfere with NetWare printing.

6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Services, type in a Context entry and Preferred NDS Tree entry in the appropriate fields. Be sure to give the whole context, whether typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trailing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the DOS command line. A typed context name example is: ou=standard.ou=organization_1

7. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you may enter the time between scans in seconds in the Print Queue Scan Rate field.

8. The Print Server Card will normally monitor the network to determine which frame type is being used for Novell. When it recognizes a type, it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type, the Print Server

Card will only operate over that Novell frame type. Monitoring normally starts looking for IEEE 802.3, then Ethernet II, then 802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for Novell, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by setting the button next to the designation under

Ethernet Frame Type.

9. You can Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if the printer is to be used in NDS mode only. To do so, click on the Disable Bindery Mode box. If you disable Bindery, the Print Server Card will not support Print Servers on a

Bindery file server.

10. Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired

NetWare information, you may cause this information to be entered in the printer by clicking on Accept Settings. As with all value changes, you must enter the WebAdmin password in the appropriate space before clicking on

Accept Settings. The default WebAdmin password as shipped is “sysadm.”

11. Entered values do not take effect until the printer is reset or power cycled.

You may reset from WebAdmin by returning to the Network page and clicking on Reset under System. Now click on Reset Unit. Alternatively, you may power cycle the printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect.

UNIX Configuration

The Elite 21 printer can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:

• Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the printer via a

TCP/IP port, or,

• Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon.

In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an entry in the printcap file once the printer has its IP information. Some UNIX

System V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpr/lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpr/lpd approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the option of using host-resident printing or print serverresident printing. Each mode has certain advantages.

• The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; the print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.

• The print server-resident method requires you to configure the printer only one time, when you install the print server. The host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.

Note: The printer will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a

TCP/IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or

WebAdmin. Remember, the actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The Network Status page indicates the actual port number.

Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the

Elite 21 printer works with:

All UNIX systems that support lpd/lpr

The TCP/IP directory also includes source code that you can recompile into host-based code for configuring on other System V platforms.

LPD/LPR Printing

LPD/LPR is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation with all filtering and banners done by the printer. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.

The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer. lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd/lpr process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printerbased lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control file and its own printcap file.

Printer lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulations and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer type you specify. You can indicate to the Printer lpd what type of printer is attached to by either:

• Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or

• Changing the listed emulations via the Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or WebAdmin.

The following sections give specific lpd/lpr setup instructions for various systems.

Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd/lpr

To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the Elite 21 using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on your host for each printer you use. The steps are described as follows:

• Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the Print Server Card as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is shown below:

<printer_name>\

(for example, lprprinter)

:lp=:\

:rm=<remote_host>:\

(for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)

:rp=PORT1:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>:

(for example, spool directory on system used to spool data and control files)

This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name> to the printer designated <printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the printer designated as <remote_host>.

• Create the spooling directory. For example, type: mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>

• To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type: lpr-P <printer_name>< file_name>

Installation and testing is done. You are now ready to print.

Setting Up an AIX Version 2.5 Remote Printer to Use lpd/lpr

Set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to the Elite 21 using the

Note: There is no space after the remote host name.

• Enable <local printername>

• Accept <local printername>

Setting IP Parameters using Telnet

The Elite 21 printer contains a Telnet utility which uses the standard remote terminal protocol to configure the IP address, lpd/lpr printers, and other parameters for the printer. Use the following guidelines to run Telnet. You have the same functionality with the HTML pages accessed by MAP or WebAdmin, as described in Chapter 8.

Most often, you make selections from menus by toggling between one choice or another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/disabling an item.

Press Enter when not selecting an item. This will return you to a previous menu.

If you do not make a menu selection for 2 minutes, you get a "Two Minute

Warning" that within 2 more minutes your Telnet session will end. This ensures that one user does not leave a session idle for too long.

Making Connection and Main Menu

• At the prompt, type: telnet <printer IP address>

• When login: appears, type guest if you are only interested in browsing the menus or sysadm if you want to change the configuration. Press Enter.

When password: appears, again type guest or sysadm and press Enter.

The main menu is displayed. This utility lets you change the IP Parameters, lpd/lpr printers, protocols, restore to factory defaults, and change password.

Press the number for the parameter you wish to check or change and press

Enter.

To end your Telnet session, type E at the Main Menu. If you have made any changes you are prompted to either Save Changes and Exit or Exit Without

Saving Changes. Choose your option and press Enter.

7-35

8. Using WebAdmin

WebAdmin is GCC’s remote printer management software, which allows a user to monitor and control printer settings using a standard Web browser.

WebAdmin can be used to access and change many of the same settings from the printer’s control panel, and can also be used to configure network settings for the printer.

This chapter will cover accessing and configuring the printer using WebAdmin.

8-1

8-2

Accessing WebAdmin

In order to access the printer using WebAdmin, the printer must be attached to an Ethernet network and running TCP/IP. If the printer has not been assigned an IP address, consult Chapter 7 of this manual, “Networking the Elite 21

Series Printer.”

WebAdmin can be accessed one of two ways. If you know the IP address of the printer, you can type the address directly into the Address field of your web browser. For example, if the printer’s IP address is 1.2.3.4, you would type in the following in the Address field: http://1.2.3.4

If the IP address of the printer is not known, or if there are multiple GCC printers on the network, you can also use the MAP (Management Access

Program) software included with the printer. This software is a Windows-based utility which locates GCC printers on the network.

To use the MAP utility, run the MAP installer on the Elite 21 CD-ROM by inserting the CD-ROM in the PC, opening the Network folder on the CD, opening the MAP 3.72 folder inside this folder and double-clicking the

SETUP.EXE file icon. This will install the MAP program and include it on the

Programs menu of Windows.

Before running MAP, you should run the MAP Setup utility to set whether MAP should look for printers using TCP/IP, IPX/SPX or both. The default setting is for the utility to check both, however this can cause error messages to appear if one or the other of the protocols is not enabled on your PC.

To run MAP, go to the Start button of Windows, then to Programs and down to

MAP. Select the MAP Setup item in the MAP folder. This will open a window as shown on the next page:

If using TCP/IP, de-select the option to “Search for IPX-based printers.” If using

IPX (NetWare), de-select the option to “Search for IP-based printers.” Error messages may appear if both boxes are selected and one of the protocols is not available on the PC.

The “Max Hops for IP Search” setting determines how many networks the program will search for compatible printers. A setting of Zero would search only the network directly connected to the PC, a setting of 4 would search the directly connected network and all networks accessible through four routers.

Try to use only as high a number as necessary to access your printer, as higher numbers can produce increased network traffic.A list of printers supporting TCP/IP will appear. Click on the IP address of any of the printers on the list to access WebAdmin for that unit.

Once the MAP Setup settings are complete, click OK. Run MAP by going to the

Start button of Windows, then to Programs and down to MAP. Select the MAP item in the MAP folder. The program will search for network printers and open your web browser to display a listing of network printers like the one shown on the next page.

8-3

8-4

You can access WebAdmin by clicking on the IP address of the printer as displayed on this list. If using IPX, you can also click on the printer name on the

“IPX/SPX” list. This will bring you to a limited version of WebAdmin, showing only the Network settings as outlined on page 8-6. Full WebAdmin access requires TCP/IP.

Accessing WebAdmin by either the MAP utility or typing in the IP address directly will bring up the WebAdmin window such as the one shown on the next page in your browser.

Using WebAdmin

Each WebAdmin page contains a Printer Status display at the top of the page.

This tells the current status of the printer and whether paper is present in the printer’s trays. This information is automatically updated every 60 seconds.

Each page also has frames showing a listing of categories to the left and an area for information to be displayed on the right. Clicking the categories on the left will bring up different screens on the right, as listed on the next page.

Note: Many WebAdmin settings require that a password be entered to make changes. The default system password for the printer is “sysadm.” A new password can be selected by clicking on Network and choosing “Change

Password.”

8-5

Printer Information (shown on previous page) will bring up configuration and revision information about the printer. This page also allows you to print out information pages from the printer by clicking the Information Pages link at the bottom of the page.

Paper Handling accesses the same settings found under the Paper Handling submenu on the printer’s control panel. See Chapter 6, “The Elite 21 Control

9. Using the Printing Features of the Elite 21

This chapter outlines the procedures for performing some specific printing tasks with the Elite 21 printer. These tasks include:

• Double-sided (Duplex) Printing

• Specifying Paper Source and Fusing Temperature by Paper Type

• Using the Multi-Purpose Feeder (Tray 1)

• Printing Envelopes

• Printing to the Rear (Face Up) Paper Output

• Holding and Printing Jobs

• Setting Transmit Once Collation Mode

• Offsetting Copies of Collated Output

9-1

Double-Sided (Duplex) Printing

The Elite 21 printer has the ability to print on both sides of the page, provided that the Duplex Unit is installed. The Duplex Unit ships standard with the Elite

21 DN and Elite 21 SE models and can be added as an option to the Elite 21 N model.

To send a double-sided print job to the printer, follow these steps:

Macintosh:

• Open the document you wish to print. Go to the File menu and then down to Print.

• Click on the General pull-down menu and go down to Layout.

• Click on “Print on Both Sides:” and select the icon for the appropriate binding method (long edge or short edge).

• Set any other print options for the job to the desired settings, and click Print to send the job.

Windows 95/98:


• Click on the Properties button in the Print window.

• Click the “Paper” tab in the Properties window, and click the “More Options...” button at the lower left of the Paper window.

• Under the More Paper Options window, set “Print on Both Sides” from None to the correct binding method (long edge or short edge).

• Click OK to accept, then Apply and OK to return to the Print window. Set any other print options for the job to the desired settings, and click OK to send the job.

Windows 2000:


• Click on the Layout tab at the top of the Print window.

• Set “Print on Both Sides” from None to the correct binding method (long edge or short edge).


Windows NT 4.0:



• Click the “Page Setup” tab in the Properties window.

• Set “Print on Both Sides” from None to the correct binding method (long edge or short edge).

• Click OK to accept and return to the Print window. Set any other print options for the job to the desired settings, and click OK to send the job.

9-2

Note: During the duplex printing process, the edge of the page may briefly appear from out of the output slot at the top of the printer, then be pulled back into the printer. This is normal operation. Do not attempt to remove sheets from the printer until they have been fully ejected from the printer.

9-3

Sending Jobs and Adjusting Fuser Temperature by Paper Type

The Elite 21 printer allows a paper type to be defined for each of the paper sources, using either the printer’s front control panel or WebAdmin to access the Paper Handling options on the unit. This feature serves two purposes. First, it allows users to send jobs to the printer by selecting the paper type they wish to print on, rather than knowing specifically which tray that type is in. For example, the Tray 2 Type setting on the printer can be set to Letterhead, then users can send jobs to the correct tray by selecting “Letterhead” as the paper type rather than “Tray 2” as the paper source. If the printer operator later wanted to move the Letterhead to Tray 3, the users could still send jobs to the correct source by specifying Letterhead as the paper type.

To send a job by specifying its paper source, follow the steps below. These steps specify how to set the printer up as if Letterhead was inserted in Tray 2:

1. Specify the Paper Type on the printer:

• Press Menu up or down until “Paper Handling” appears.

• Press Item up or down until “Tray 2 Type” appears.

• Press Value up or down until “Letterhead” appears.

• Press Select to confirm the selection.

• Press Menu until “Ready” appears on the printer’s display window.

2. Send the print job:

Macintosh:


• Under “Paper Source,” select “Letterhead” rather than any specific tray selection.


Windows 95/98:



• Click the “Paper” tab in the Properties window, and click the “More Options...” button at the lower left of the Paper window.

• Under the More Paper Options window, set “Paper Type” to “Letterhead.”

• Click OK to accept, then Apply and OK to return to the Print window. Set any other print options for the job to the desired settings, and click OK to send the job.

9-4

Windows 2000:


• Click on the Paper/Quality tab at the top of the Print window.

• Set the “Media” setting to “Letterhead.”


Windows NT 4.0:



• Click the “Advanced” tab in the Properties window.

• Under “Printer Features,” set “Media Type” to “Letterhead.”

• Click OK to accept and return to the Print window. Set any other print options for the job to the desired settings, and click OK to send the job.

Sending the job in this way will automatically direct the print job to the tray defined as containing Letterhead. Any of the other options for Paper Type/

Media Type can be defined and selected in the same way. The full list of options are as follows:

Plain Paper

Preprinted

Letterhead

Transparency

Prepunched

Labels

Bond

Recycled

Color

Card Stock

Rough

Normal 1

Normal 2

Normal 3

Thick 1

Thick 2

Most of these options are self-explanatory and are used specifically to identify a certain paper type in the tray. The options at the end of the list (Normal 1, 2 and 3 and Thick 1 and 2) are included as user-definable options. For example, if there are three different pre-printed forms that get sent to the printer by

9-5

9-6 members of a specific group of users, the printer operator can define three different paper sources for these forms and let the users know that these forms are now defined on the printer as Normal 1, 2 and 3. Users can then send jobs accordingly without having to know specifically which tray the form has been loaded in.

The other function served by the Paper Type settings on the printer is fuser temperature adjustment. Most of the paper types use the standard fusing temperature, but some of the selections will not only define the paper type in the tray, but also set the fusing temperature to an appropriate level for the media being used.

Selecting Labels, Card Stock, Thick 1 or Thick 2 will set the fuser to a slightly higher temperature, allowing toner to be more securely bonded to the thicker stock.

Selecting Transparency from the list will decrease the fusing temperature slightly, avoiding damage to the transparency stock.

If using transparencies or thicker stock (greater than 28lb.), it is important to set the Paper Type accordingly for best results.

Using the Multi-Purpose Feeder (Tray 1)

Loading Paper into the Feeder

1.

Open the Multi-Purpose Feeder by pulling at the latch at the top center of the feeder cover.

2.

Pull outward on the clear plastic tray extension within the cover to extend the tray to hold larger paper sizes.

3.

Adjust the grey paper size guides so they match up with the paper size being used.

9-7

4.

Load the paper into the tray, with the side to be printed on facing up and the top of the page feeding into the printer first.

9-8

Setting the Paper Size

There are no paper size sensors on the Multi-Purpose Feeder (Tray 1), so the printer depends on the user to manually enter the paper size for the tray using the printer’s front menu. This can be done as follows:

• Press the Menu up or down key until Paper Handling appears.

• Press the Item up or down key until Tray 1 Size appears.

• Press the Value up or down key until the desired paper size appears.

• Press Select to accept the value.

This will cause the printer to assume that the specified paper size is loaded into Tray 1. If a print job is sent to the tray specifying the size selected, it will print automatically. If not, the printer will pause and request the correct size be loaded into the tray.

Note: In the event that a print job is sent to Tray 1 (or Manual Feed, see next section) specifying a size other than what is specified for Tray 1 on the front panel, the printer will pause and ask for the correct paper size.

Loading the correct paper size and pressing Select will allow the job to print.

This will also change the Tray 1 Size setting in the menu to reflect the new size. You will therefore need to re-set the Tray 1 Size setting to the original

size if desired. An example of this follows:

The printer is loaded with Letter sized paper in Tray 1, and the Tray 1 Size setting is set to “Letter.” John sends a print job to the printer which specifies

Legal sized paper. The printer pauses and the LCD display displays “Load

Tray 1 Legal.” John places a sheet of Legal sized paper on top of the tray and presses Select. The job prints and the Tray 1 Size setting is automatically set to Legal.

Mary then prints a job to Tray 1 that requires the original Letter sized paper.

Since the setting has been automatically changed, however, the printer will again pause and display “Load Tray 1 Letter.” Mary can either re-set the

Tray 1 Size setting to Letter, or load Letter into the tray and press Select to automatically set it back.

Tray 1 vs. Manual Feed

Jobs can be sent to the Multi-Purpose Feeder of the printer by specifying either Tray 1 or Manual Feed as the Paper Source when sending the job. If

Tray 1 is specified, the printer will look for paper in the feeder and, if present, begin printing the job automatically. If Manual Feed is specified, the printer will wait for paper to be loaded and prompt the user to press the

Select button to feed the page. This is useful if printing a job on special paper, as the printer will wait for you to confirm that the page is loaded into the feeder before printing the job.

9-9

Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed on the Elite 21 using either the Multi-Purpose Feeder

(Tray 1) of the printer, or with the optional Envelope Feeder. Supported envelope sizes are as follows:

•Commercial #10 •Monarch •DL •C5

To print an envelope from Tray 1 of the printer, follow these steps:

1. Load the envelope into the tray:

• Open the Multi-Purpose Feeder at the front of the printer.

• Adjust the paper size guides to the correct size for the envelopes being used.

• Place the envelope(s) into the feeder, with the side to be printed on facing up, the flap on the right and the short edge facing into the printer.

• Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded at one time. Do not overload the feeder.

2. Format and send the print job:

Macintosh:

• Open the application you wish to print from. Go to the File menu and then down to Page

Setup.

• Click on the Paper pull-down menu and set the correct paper size for the envelope you are using. Click OK.

• Type out the address information into the document. Consult the documentation for the application being used for specific information on formatting for envelopes.

9-11

Sending Jobs to the Rear (Face Up) Output Tray

When sending thicker stock through the Elite 21 printer, we recommend using the rear (face up) paper output tray. This allows the paper to follow a more straight-through path through the printer and avoid potential jams.

There are no specific software settings necessary to send jobs to the rear output tray. Simply opening up the rear output tray will cause output to be sent to the rear tray automatically.

To open the rear output tray, pull on the top part of the tray (the curved part near the top center of the rear of the printer) and gently tilt open the tray cover until it stops. Extend the tray by flipping the clear plastic tray extension outward. Reverse these steps to close the tray and re-direct output towards the top (face down) bin of the printer.

Note: If using the printer with an optional Upper Output Bin, make sure that the

Output Bin selection is set to Standard Bin when sending a job to the rear of the printer. A printer error may occur if the Upper Bin is selected and the paper exits through the rear output tray instead.

9-12

Holding and Printing Jobs

The Elite 21 printer has the ability to hold a copy of the last print job sent to the printer and print additional copies of the job directly from the front panel of the printer. This feature is useful for job proofing, as a single copy of the job can be sent to the printer and, assuming the printed copy is correct, more copies can be generated directly from the menu of the printer.

This feature is entirely controlled through the printer’s menus, there are no software settings to be made within the drivers to specify that a job is to be held. To enable this feature on the printer, follow these steps:

• Make sure the printer’s display is reading “Ready”.

• Press either Menu key until “Configuration” appears.

• Press either Item key until “Hold Last Job” appears.

• Press either Value key until “Enabled” appears.

• Press Select to accept the change.

• Restart the printer to enable the new settings.

These settings can also be changed through WebAdmin, see Chapter 8.

After restart, the printer will automatically start holding a copy of the last job printed in memory. To print additional copies of the last job printed, follow these steps:


• Press either Menu key until “Held Job” appears.

• Press either Item key until “Held Copies” appears.

• Press either Value key to select the desired number of copies.

• Press Select to accept the number of copies.

• Press either Item key until “Print Held Job” appears.

• Press Select to print the job.

The “Held Job” menu also contains an option for deleting held jobs. This should be used if the last job printed contained confidential or sensitive information, or if the last job was particularly memory intensive and is taking up excess RAM that could be used to process the next job. Follow these steps to delete a held job:

9-13

9-14

• Press either Menu key until “Held Job” appears.

• Press either Item key until “Delete Held Job” appears.

• Press Select to delete the job.

As long as “Hold Last Job” is enabled in the Configuration menu of the printer, the printer will automatically hold a copy of the last job printed until another print job is sent to the printer. To disable this feature, change the setting for

“Hold Last Job” in the Configuration menu to Disabled and restart the printer.

Specifying Transmit Once Collation Mode

The Elite 21 printer can operate in two different collation modes:

• Transmit Once Collation Mode: When multiple copies of a single document are sent, the print driver on the computer sends the job once, then subsequent copies are processed directly by the printer.

• Driver Collation Mode: When multiple copies of a single document are sent, the driver on the computer generates and sends the print job to the printer once for each copy required

Transmit Once Collation Mode results in faster printing in most cases and frees up resources on the computer. Printers with less installed RAM, however, may experience errors when trying to print more complex jobs in this mode. If

PostScript errors occur when using Transmit Once Collation Mode, you may want to add memory to the printer to increase the space for job storage, or switch back to Driver Collation Mode.

To enable Transmit Once Collation Mode, follow these steps:


• Press either Menu key until “Configuration” appears.

• Press either Item key until “Collation Mode” appears.

• Press either Value key until “Transmit Once” appears.

• Press Select to accept the change.

• Restart the printer to enable the new settings.

The settings on the computer(s) that are to use the printer will also need to be modified to reflect this change, as follows:

Macintosh:



• In the Setup window, click on the “Change” pull-down menu and go down to “Collation Mode.”

• Change the setting in the “To:” pull-down menu to “Transmit Once/Image Once.”


9-15

9-16

Windows 95/98:




• Under Printer Features, click on “Collation in Printer.”

• Under “Change Setting for:,” change the selection to “Transmit Once/Image Once.”


Windows 2000:




• Click on the link next to Collation Mode that says “Disabled.” This link will become a pull-down menu.

• Change the selection to “Transmit Once/Image Once.”


Windows NT 4.0:




• Click on “Collation Mode” from the list of options.

• Under the “Change Setting to:” box, change the selection to “Transmit Once/Image Once.”


Offsetting Copies of Collated Output

The Elite 21 printer has the ability to sort collated documents by offsetting alternating copies of the document as they are output from the printer. This makes it easier to separate individual copies from each other, as each copy will be output slightly to the side of the copies above or below it. This feature requires the use of the optional Upper Output Bin accessory. Consult our web site at www.gccprinters.com

for information on ordering this accessory.

Once the Upper Output Bin is installed on the printer, offset output can be specified when sending the print job, as follows:

Macintosh:

• Go to the File menu, then down to Print.

• In the Print dialog box, click on the “General” pull-down menu.

• Pull down to “Elite 21 Options.”

• Under “Output Tray,” select “Upper Bin - Offset.”

This chapter of the manual covers periodic maintenance steps and troubleshooting information for the Elite 21 printer. The following topics are covered in this chapter:

• Cleaning the printer

• Transporting the printer

• Replacing the Toner Cartridge

• Replacing the BTR Roller

• Replacing the Fuser

• Error and Status Messages

• Clearing Paper Jams

• Resolving Print Quality Issues

10-1

Cleaning the printer

The exterior of the printer can be cleaned by carefully wiping the outside of the unit with a soft cloth, lightly moistened with cool water. A mild soap or detergent may be used to clean stains from the outside of the unit. Do not use ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners, as these may damage the printer.

After removing a jam or replacing the toner cartridge, check the inside of the printer and wipe off any paper or toner dust from the inside of the unit using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any liquids inside the printer.

Caution: The fusing unit becomes very hot during operation. Power the printer Off and wait 30 minutes for the unit to cool down before attempting any cleaning or maintenance around the fusing unit.

Transporting the printer

The Elite 21 printer should always be packed in its original shipping carton to minimize the risk of damage during shipping. Replacement shipping cartons are available through GCC if needed.

The Elite 21 printer should be prepared for transportation as follows:

• Remove the power cord, interface cable(s) and optional feeders from the unit.

• Remove the toner cartridge. Place the cartridge in a plastic bag and place it in a separate shipping box. Toner spillage during shipment can cause permanent damage to the printer.

• Replace the orange spacers that hold the BTR into place during shipping (see Chapter 1,

“Hardware Setup” for details).

• Wrap the printer in its original plastic bag.

• Place the printer into the styrofoam cutouts in the bottom of the shipping container.

• Place the power cord and interface cables.into the box next to the printer.

• Place the top styrofoam cutouts on top of the printer.

• Lower the top portion of the box over the printer so that the slots in the side of the top match up with the slots in the sides of the bottom of the box.

• Place the four plastic tabs that secure the top of the box to the bottom of the box into their slots.

• Package any accessories separately, in their original shipping cartons.

10-2

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The toner cartridge contains the image drum and toner supply of the printer. It should be replaced after approximately 15,000 sheets have been printed (rated at Letter/A4 size, singlesided, 5% black coverage). Depending on operating conditions and the type of print jobs being output, however, the cartridge may need to be replaced before or after that interval is reached.

Instructions for replacement of the toner cartridge are as follows:

Toner Handling Precautions:

• Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or other strong light sources.

• Do not replace the cartridge under bright lighting conditions. Complete the installation as quickly as possible (within 5 minutes of opening the protective foil shipping bag).

• Do not open the drum shutter by hand. The drum shutter protects the photosensitive image drum from external light.

• Never touch the surface of the photosensitive drum. Keep the cartridge level, do not turn it over or stand it on end.

• If toner comes into contact with your hands or clothing, wash it off with cold water. Exposure to toner is not harmful, however hot water will melt and set the toner, causing staining.

Print alignment

Skew: The amount by which a supposedly horizontal printed line may vary from being parallel with the edge of the paper. This assumes that vertical printed lines are also at an angle, so that the entire image is printed correctly but slightly rotated on the page. Measured with a 190 mm

(7.48 inch) line.

Within 1.2 mm (0.047 inch) either up or down

Registration: The amount by which images appearing to left or right, or above or below previously printed images. Images appear on the paper correctly printed and aligned, but not in the same place. Measured at the mid-point of the side or top of the paper.

Within 2.0 mm (0.079 inch) lead edge

Within 2.5 mm (0.099 inch) side edge

Magnification: The amount by which a line can be greater or smaller than its nominal length.

Measured with a 240 mm (9.45 inch) vertical line and a 190 mm (7.48 inch) horizontal line.

These lines are centered on the page to avoid measuring parallelism errors.

Within 0.8 percent longer or shorter than its nominal length

Horizontal Accuracy (Parallelism): The amount by which the ends of two vertical and two horizontal lines can be greater or farther apart than the other ends. Measured with vertical lines of 234 mm (9.21 inch) and horizontal lines 190 mm (7.48 inch). These lines are arranged to form a rectangle on the page.

Within 1.2 mm (0.047 inch) horizontal or vertical either way

Linearity: The amount that three straight lines (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) can vary from being truly straight. One end of each of the horizontal and vertical lines meet at a corner; the diagonal line is at 45 degrees to the other two lines and passes close to the center of the paper.

The horizontal line is 190 mm (7.48 inch), the vertical line is 234 mm (9.21 inch), and the diagonal line is 269 mm (10.6 inch). The amount is measured by the distance a line can vary from the position of a true straight line.

Within 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) either side, horizontal and vertical lines

Within 1.2 mm (0.05 inch) either side, diagonal line

Vertical Accuracy (Verticality): The amount one end of a 114.5 mm (4.51 inch) vertical line can vary from true perpendicular.

Within 0.8 mm (0.03 inch) either side of true vertical

Appendix D: Radio and TV interference

This printer generates radio frequency energy and may cause interference to radio and television communications if not installed and used in accordance with

GCC Technologies’ instructions.

This GCC printer was certified under test conditions that included the use of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is mandatory that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radio, television, and other electronic devices.

Turning the printer off will help determine whether the printer is causing interference. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the printer.

If the printer does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the printer to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the printer farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the printer into a different outlet so the printer and receiver are on different circuits.

If necessary, consult your dealer or a radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may also find helpful the following booklet prepared by the

Federal Communications Commission: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV

Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the US Government Printing

Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

D-1

Appendix E - PCL

PCL stands for Printer Control Language, a page description language developed by Hewlett-Packard for use with their LaserJet series printers. The Elite 21 printer supports PCL 6 (PCL 5e and PCL XL) , as well as PostScript. This is useful if sending jobs from older DOS-based applications that do not support PostScript.

Selecting a HP LaserJet series driver from the list of printers in the DOS application will allow most jobs to be printed to the Elite 21. There are no specific settings that need to be set on the printer to allow PCL to be used; the printer will automatically sense PCL jobs and switch to PCL mode accordingly.

GCC has also included a PCL 5e Windows driver with the Elite 21 series software, which will allow all of the printer’s specific features to be accessed using

PCL from Windows (using a HP LaserJet driver may not offer all paper handling options available on the Elite 21). Most users will use the standard Elite 21

PostScript drivers through Windows, but these PCL drivers are provided in the event that PCL emulation is necessary for your specific application(s) or system configuration.

To install the Elite 21 Series PCL 5e driver, select “Elite 21 Series PCL” when asked to select a printer model during the Windows driver installation.

Please note: PCL 5e is not the most recent version. PCL 6 (the most recent HP release) is supported by the Elite 21, however PCL 6 drivers are only available through Hewlett-Packard at this time.

A list of common PCL escape codes, used by some DOS applications to specify printing parameters, is found on the next page.

PCL Escape Codes

The table below shows some frequently-used PCL printer commands (escape sequences) that can be useful when sending a PCL print job from DOS to your

GCC printer. PCL commands tell the printer which actions to perform or which fonts to use.

The commands listed below are a subset of the PCL command set. When entering escape sequences, substitute the # symbol in the escape sequence referenced in the left column with the appropriate number from the right column.

The character l shown in some examples after the ampersand (&) is a letter l (a lower-case letter L).

Appendix F: Fonts

The Elite 21 printer ships with 136 standard PostScript fonts in 42 font families.

This collection of fonts matches the standard PostScript Level 3 font set. To print out a listing of the resident PostScript fonts on the printer along with a sample of each typeface, follow these steps:



• Press either Item key until “Print PS Fonts” appears.

• Press Select.

This will print out a page with samples of all the available resident PostScript fonts on the printer.

The printer also ships with 80 standard resident PCL 6 fonts. A sample of these fonts can be printed following the steps listed above, but selecting “Print PCL

Fonts” rather than Print PS Fonts.

The printer is also compatible with any downloadable TrueType, Type 1 or PCL font loaded onto your computer.

Bitstream Screen Fonts

In order to access the resident PostScript fonts on the printer, your computer must be equipped with a compatible screen font file for each of the resident printer fonts. The Elite 21 Series CD-ROM includes screen fonts provided by

Bitstream, Inc. These fonts are automatically installed on your computer during a standard Macintosh installation. Users of Windows systems will need to install them using the separate Font Installer on the Elite 21 Series CD-ROM, as follows:

• Insert the GCC Elite 21 Series CD-ROM into the Windows PC.

• Click on My Computer, then double-click the CD icon to open the CD.

• Double-click the Fonts folder on the CD-ROM.

• Double-click the “Setup.exe” icon within this folder.

F-1

F-2

Follow the on-screen installer intructions. This will install all the screen fonts onto the system.

The Bitstream screen fonts provide equivalent typefaces to traditional

PostScript fonts, however the Bitstream font names are typically different from traditional PostScript font names. The tables on the following pages provide a cross-reference of the different font names between the traditional PostScript font names (“Equivalent font”) and the Bitstream fonts.

Page F-3 and F-4 are cross references of the font families, the first sorted by

Equivalent font, and the second sorted by Bitstream font. These can be used to determine which screen font corresponds with the desired printer font. More detailed font equivalency information (covering each of the individual font typefaces) appears starting on page F-5 for Macintosh, or page F-8 for

Windows.

The Font Installer utility for Windows will also set font mapping on the PC to automatically make a connection between the Bitstream and equivalent font names.

Note: All PostScript font names used in the following tables are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

WARNING: This equipment was tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. For more information about radio frequency interference, refer to the section of this manual on Radio and TV interference.

CANADIAN REGULATIONS

This equipment is a Class A digital apparatus that complies with the Radio Interference Regulations, CRC c. 1374.

IMPORTANT:

Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by GCC Technologies Inc. could void the

FCC Certification and negate your authority to operate the product. This product was tested for FCC Compliance under conditions that included the use of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. You can obtain the proper shielded cables from GCC Technologies or from an Authorized GCC Technologies dealer.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

LASER SAFETY: This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and

Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not emit hazardous radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 1, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products marketed in the United States. The label on the printer indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to the laser products marketed in the United States.

Caution - Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
