IP Address Assignment
The EcoLAN 2000E enables Kyocera FS-Series and LS-Series printers to communicate
over an Ethernet network with many different network operating systems, including
NetWare, Macintosh, UNIX, and Windows.
This Guide’s Role
This Quick Configuration Guide provides concise software configuration instructions
allowing an experienced system administrator to get the 2000E up and running quickly.
For more complete instructions or for printing or configuration options not covered in this
guide, please refer to the 2000E User’s Manual on the CD ROM.
Using the CD ROM
The CD ROM packaged with the 2000E includes all installation and configuration utilities,
as well as the 2000E User’s Manual and this guide in .PDF format. Quick access to the
utilities and documentation is provided by the CONTENTS.PDF file. This file and all other
documentation on the CD ROM are in Adobe Acrobat .PDF format and cannot be read
without the Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or later. (Note: The utilities may also be installed
without using CONTENTS .PDF by navigating the CD ROM to the appropriate setup file.)
On Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 systems, inserting the CD ROM will auto-load a screen
with options to install the Acrobat Reader or to display CONTENTS.PDF. The user will be
prompted to install the Acrobat Reader if it is not detected on the system.
On other systems, the Acrobat Reader may be installed manually from the CD ROM.
Windows NT 3.51: From the Program Manager File menu, select Run and type:
D:\acroread\win\rdr_srch\32bit\setup.exe
Windows 3.1, 3.11: Same as NT 3.51, but type: D:\acroread\win\rdr_srch\16bit\setup.exe
Macintosh: Run the Reader 3.01 Installer in the Acroread, Mac, Reader + Search,
Reader folder. It is also very useful to install the search capability from the Search folder.

Directory Services Configuration
Bindery vs. NDS Setup
In addition to its native NDS (NetWare Directory Services), NetWare 4.x can also be used
in Bindery emulation. Bindery emulation is provided on the 2000E for users more familiar
with the NetWare Bindery than with NDS. If Bindery emulation is preferred, please refer to
the NetWare section of the 2000E User’s Manual.
PCONSOLE vs. NWADMIN Setup
NetWare 4.x setup can be done with either PCONSOLE or NWADMIN. This Quick
Configuration Guide includes the procedures in PCONSOLE because fewer steps are
required than with NWADMIN. (Not all versions of NWADMIN include the Print Services
Quick Setup option). If setup with NWADMIN is preferred, please refer to the NetWare
section of the 2000E User’s Manual.
Configuration Utilities
This configuration is accomplished using two utilities, NetWare’s PCONSOLE, and the
Windows-based Management Access Program (MAP) included with the 2000E.
PCONSOLE Configuration
1. Enter PCONSOLE.
2. Set the Current “Context”.
Context is the NetWare term for a specific location in the Directory Services tree. The
current context is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the screen. This is where
the Print Server, Printer, and Queue will be located. If this is not the desired context for
these objects, use the following procedure to change the current context.
Á Select Change Context from the PCONSOLE main menu.
Á Press INSERT to browse to the desired context.
Á Highlight the desired context and press F10.
Once in the desired context, make a note of it as displayed in the upper left hand

KPDL II, Kyocera’s PostScript compatible mode is required for Macintosh printing. KPDL
II is standard on some printers, such as the FS/LS-800, 1700+ and 3700+, while it is an
option on other models, such as the FS/LS-600 and 7000. If KPDL II is installed it will
appear in the Emulation list on the Status page. For the FS/LS-7000, the default emulation
for the Option 2 Interface must also be set to KPDL or KPDL (Auto).
Installing the Driver and Selecting the Printer
1. To install the Macintosh Printer Driver and Utilities from the CD which is provided with
the printer, open the Drivers folder, then the appropriate language folder, and double
click on the FS-Series Installer program.
2. Once installation is complete and your system has been restarted, select Chooser
from the Apple menu to open the Chooser.
3. Select the FS-Series Driver, the zone (if any) and the 2000E printer. The default
name for the printer is KYO_ followed by the 2000E six digit serial number.
4. Click on Setup. Select the appropriate PPD file from the pop-up menu near the
bottom of the screen. Turn on Background Printing if desired and close the Chooser.
5. From the File menu within any application, select either Page Setup or Print.

Windows Peer to Peer Printing Configuration
Peer to Peer printing is available for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0.
What is Windows Peer to Peer Printing
The peer to peer printing software which is included with the EcoLAN 2000E allows
Windows PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network server,
such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer printing. The peer to
peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing.
Once the peer to peer printing software is installed, all EcoLAN 2000E boards on the
network automatically appear in the list of available printer ports.
The peer to peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers are
present, however, often the server print services are utilized instead. Server-based print
services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do not require software
(other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.
Peer to Peer Printing over IP or IPX
Peer to peer printing is available over both the IP and the IPX protocols. At least one of
these protocols must be installed before peer to peer printing may be used. It is assumed
that the IP protocol will be used for peer to peer printing only if the Windows PCs are
already configured with IP addresses; otherwise, the simpler to configure IPX protocol
would most likely be used.
If Using Peer to Peer over IP
Configure the 2000E IP address with DHCP (page 18), with the printer front panel (page
19), or with the NTBOOTP utility (page 15), then return to this section to complete peer to
peer printing installation.
If Using Peer to Peer over IPX
The IPX protocol must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing over IPX.
The following instructions describe installation of the IPX protocol for Windows 95 or 98.
Installation for Windows NT 4.0 is very similar (check the Protocol tab for NWLink IPX/
SPX Compatible Transport).
1. Click on the Windows Start button and select Settings, Control Panel, Network.
2. Check to see if IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol is displayed on the list of network
components. If it is on the list, IPX is already installed. Please continue with the next
section. If it is NOT on the list, click on Add.
3. Double click on Protocol, click on Microsoft, and double click on IPX/SPX-
compatible Protocol. Windows will prompt for the required Windows disks to install
the IPX protocol.
4. Once the files are copied, click on OK to close the network control panel. Windows
will prompt to restart the system. The IPX protocol will not be active until the system is
restarted.
Optional: Changing the Printer Name
IP Printer Name: Changing the printer name only applies to the IPX protocol. With IP
peer to peer printing the printer is identified by its IP address.
IPX Printer Name: The IPX peer to peer printing software uses the NetWare Print
Server Name to identify the 2000E. The default name is the serial number preceded by
KYO, e.g., KYO-163495. If desired, this name can be changed to a more easily
identifiable name with the Management Access Program (MAP).
To change the name with MAP, follow the MAP Configuration instructions in the NetWare
4.x Directory Services Configuration section in this guide (the settings other than NetWare
Print Server Name do not need to be entered). MAP requires the IPX protocol.
Peer to Peer Printing Software Installation
The peer to peer printing software should be installed on each Windows PC that will use
peer to peer printing services.
1. Install and Run the Peer to Peer Software.
Á Insert the CD included with the EcoLAN 2000E.
Á Click on the Windows Start button and select Run.
Á For IPX peer to peer printing, type: D:\IPX-P2P\SETUP.EXE and click
OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete installation.
Á For IP peer to peer printing, type: D:\IP-P2P\SETUP.EXE and click OK.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete installation.
2. Select the Printer Port.
If the printer driver has not already been installed, please install it from the CD which is
shipped with the printer before continuing with the following instructions.
Á Click on the Windows Start button and select Settings, then Printers.
Á Right click on the appropriate printer driver and select Properties from the menu.
Á Select the Details tab and click on the down arrow beside the Print to the
following port: field to display the list of available ports. (On NT 4.0 select the
Ports tab and scroll down the list of ports).
Á Select the 2000E from the list of ports and click on OK. With IP peer to peer
printing, the 2000E is displayed by its IP address. With IPX peer to peer printing,
the 2000E is displayed by its NetWare Print Server Name, e.g., the default name
is in the format KYO-163495.
Á Peer to peer printing configuration is complete. Print jobs will now be directed to
the selected 2000E when the current printer driver is used.
Windows NT Configuration
There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment.
N If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by following the
NetWare configuration instructions in this guide.
N Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows Peer to Peer
Printing instructions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.0, not for
Windows NT 3.51. Peer to peer print services using the IPX protocol may be
preferable when TCP/IP setup is not desired.
N LPR print services may be used via TCP/IP by following the instructions in this
section.
Windows NT printing is very flexible. It is possible to 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 to a 2000E via
TCP/IP using the instructions in this section. The 2000E 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, the 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 system performing the 2000E 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.
Windows NT 3.51
1. In the Program Manager group Main, double click on Control Panel.
2. Double click on Network and check the list of Installed Network Software for the
following three components:
Microsoft TCP/IP Printing, Simple TCP/IP Services, & TCP/IP Protocol
3. If any of these components are missing, click on Add Software, select TCP/IP
Protocol and related components and click on Continue.
4. Select TCP/IP Network Printing Support and Simple TCP/IP Services and click
Continue.
5. After all necessary files are copied, click on OK to close the Network Settings dialog
and restart the system when prompted. The new protocol and/or services will not
be available until the system is restarted.
��
Windows NT 4.0
1. Click on the Windows Start button, select Settings, and Control Panel.
2. Double click on Network and select the Protocols tab. If TCP/IP Protocol is not in
the list of Network Protocols, click on Add to install it.
3. Select the Services tab. If either Microsoft TCP/IP Printing or Simple TCP/IP
Services is not in the list of Network Services, click on Add to install them.
4. 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.
2000E TCP/IP Configuration
For TCP/IP configuration with DHCP, see page 18. For non-DHCP environments, the
TCP/IP parameters may be set using the printer front panel instructions on page 19. For
remote setup or for printers not supporting front panel setup, the following NTBOOTP utility
instructions may be used.
Note: NTBOOTP does not work when run on a system configured as a DHCP server.
1. Insert the CD included with the EcoLAN 2000E.
2. In the Windows NT 3.51 Program Manager, select File and choose Run.
In Windows NT 4.0, click on the Windows Start button and select Run.
2. Type: D:\MAP\NTBOOTP.EXE and click OK to launch the utility.
3. Select Configure from the Admin menu.
4. Enter the IP parameters.
Á Enter the IP address to assign to the 2000E.
Á Enter the Subnet mask. If unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the first number
in the 2000E IP address is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the
Subnet mask.
Á Enter the Default Gateway address (the router’s IP address) or leave blank.
Á Enter the Hardware Address of the 2000E. This address is listed on the network
status page under Network Address, for example, 00:40:af:13:c9:f0. Please enter
it as it appears on the status page. The status page may be printed by pressing
the Status key on the front panel of the printer.
5. Click on Go to send the new settings to the 2000E. Wait 1 or 2 minutes and then
press the Status key to print an EcoLAN 2000E Network Status page. The new IP
parameters will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section on the status page.
If the status page doesn’t show the assigned IP address, recheck the Hardware
Address entry in NTBOOTP. The new IP address may also be verified by selecting
Verify from the NTBOOTP Admin menu.
Setting Up Windows NT LPR Printing

Selecting a Shared Printer
This section briefly describes the steps for setting up client access to a shared printer.
Windows 95/98: In Printer Properties on the Details tab, click the Add Port button and
browse the network for the shared printer.
Windows NT 3.51: Select Connect to Printer from the Printer menu in Print Manager and
choose the shared printer from the shared printers list.
Windows 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.
UNIX printing utilizes a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct print jobs to the printer. The
2000E supports two modes of lpd printing, host-based lpd and printer-based lpd. With
host-based lpd, the line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations (hosts) where
print jobs are accepted and sent to the 2000E. With printer-based lpd, the 2000E acts as
the line printer daemon host and accepts print jobs directly. Many UNIX systems allow
either lpd mode to be used, although configuration may be easier for one of the modes
depending upon the UNIX system. Following are some advantages and disadvantages of
each mode:
Banner Page Comparison
The host-based lpd can include the user name and file name on the banner page, while
the printer-based lpd can only include the host name.
Configuration Comparison
The host-based lpd requires configuration on each host that will be sending jobs to the
printer, while the printer-based lpd requires only the 2000E to be configured.
2000E Configuration
TCP/IP configuration of the 2000E is needed for all versions of UNIX. Use the instructions
on page 19 to set TCP/IP parameters with the printer front panel or refer to the User’s
manual for other TCP/IP setup methods. Lpd configuration depends upon the mode
selected and the UNIX system in use. Please refer to the User’s manual for lpd configu-
ration instructions for your particular UNIX system.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism for delivering
IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, to
devices (hosts) on an IP network. A DHCP server manages the pool of available IP
addresses and grants device requests for an IP address.
At power-up, the EcoLAN 2000E 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 2000E. Upon receipt of the IP address, the 2000E resets, and prints a
Network Status Page. The Network Status Page will list the new IP address (and subnet
mask and default gateway). Once an IP address has been assigned to the 2000E, it will
no longer broadcast DHCP requests.
IMPORTANT: EcoLAN 2000E IP address assignment with DHCP will only work
when the 2000E does not have an existing IP address.
The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a temporary lease which
expires after a period of time, or may grant an unlimited lease which does not expire. If
the EcoLAN 2000E is assigned a temporary lease, the IP address may be assigned to
another device once the 2000E lease expires, resulting in two devices with the same IP
address.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to specify the EcoLAN 2000E lease as
unlimited or to define an Address Reservation for the 2000E in your DHCP server
configuration to avoid the possibility of duplicate IP addresses.
In Windows NT, lease duration is set for a particular scope, or group of addresses, rather
than for an individual address. Thus, the lease duration should be set to Unlimited for the
scope to which the 2000E belongs. If this is not desirable, then the 2000E should be
defined as a Reserved Client.
A Reserved Client may be added with the Windows NT DHCP Manager by selecting
Scope and then Add Reservations. The IP address and the hardware address of the
2000E will then need to be entered. The hardware address may be found on the
EcoLAN 2000E Network Status Page.
If you prefer not to use DHCP for IP address assignment, it may be disabled with the
printer front panel, with the MAP utility, or by connecting to the 2000E IP address with a
browser. The enable/disable DHCP setting may be found in the Setup TCP/IP section
under the Protocols heading.
IP Address Setup with the Printer Front Panel
Set the IP address and other 2000E parameters using the following procedure:
1.
Press the MODE key. If the first line of the LED panel does not already display
INTERFACE, press the + or - key until INTERFACE is displayed.
2.
If the line below INTERFACE does not already display OPTION (OPTION 2 on
the FS-7000), press the ENTER key, then + or - until OPTION is displayed.
3.
Press the > key to enter the Option submenu. (Note: Not all firmware versions
support front panel setup. If there is no Option submenu or not all choices are
available on the submenu, please check the firmware requirements listed below.)
4.
Press + or - until TCP/IP is displayed. Press the > key to enter the TCP/IP
submenu (only accessible when the TCP/IP protocol is On).
5.
Press + or - until IP Address is displayed. Press the ENTER key and a cursor
will appear under the last digit of the IP address.
6.
Press the < or > key to move the cursor to the desired digit to change. Press + or -
to change the value of a digit.
7.
Once all digits are set as desired, press the ENTER key to accept the new address.
8.
Repeat steps 5 - 7 for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway (the router’s IP address). If
unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the first number in the 2000E IP address is
from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask.
9.
When all settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are completed,
press the < key to return to the Option submenu (TCP/IP is displayed).
Note: It is recommended to turn off protocols that are not in use, however, be aware that the
management and print capabilities which depend upon that protocol will no longer function.
For example, if the Novell protocol (IPX) is turned off, then NetWare printing, management
with the MAP utility, and IPX Peer to Peer printing will all be disabled.
10. Optional: Press + or - to display the protocol to turn off, e.g. EtherTalk. Press
the ENTER key and a ? will appear next to On. Press + or - to toggle the value to
Off and press ENTER to accept the new value. Repeat for each protocol to turn off.
11. When completed, press the MODE key to exit the menu system.
12. Press the STATUS key to print a status page and verify the new settings.
