The Printer Tab - Internet Printing

Internet Printing allows you to automatically print any e-mails that are sent to a specific e-mail account on your

network.

This is especially useful for printing information when you are not connected to the network.

You can

print from any location where you can access e-mail. (See Figure 6-9.)

Mail Server

. Enter the address of your mail server in the Mail Server IP Address. (This value must be a fixed IP

address.)

Enter the Account Name and Account Password next. Enter the password again in the

Verify Password

field. Then, enter the time interval for the PrintServer to check for e-mail to be printed, in hours and minutes in

the

Check Mail every:

field. You may also specify an e-mail address to which mails that cannot be printed are

routed; this is useful for both graphic-intensive e-mails and for troubleshooting purposes. Enter this e-mail

address in the

Redirect unprintable Mail to:

field.

Printer

. Enter the Printer Model in the field provided. You can find this in the Device Manager. Then choose the

appropriate Printer Port from the drop-down menu:

•

Parallel 1

. This is the PrintServer’s Parallel port.

•

USB 1

. This is the PrintServer’s USB port.

•

Logical Printer 1-6

. The PrintServer has six logical or virtual printer ports. For example, you can have three

different configurations for your parallel printer: Logical Printer 1 for landscape orientation, Logical Printer 2

for double-sided copies, and Logical Printer 3 for manual feed. Then configure the Logical Printers on the

Logical Port tab, so Logical Printers 1, 2, and 3 will be mapped to the physical printer on the PrintServer’s

Parallel port.

Options

. Place a check mark next to the options you want to enable:

Print every E-Mail

,

Print Banner Page

(enabled by default), or

Mail response when printed

.

The Printer Tab - Logical Port

The Logical Printers tab contains the logical printer settings of the PrintServer. Configure them for each Logical

Printer. (See Figure 6-10.)

The PrintServer has six logical or virtual printer ports. For example, you can have three different configurations

for your parallel printer: Logical Printer 1 for landscape orientation, Logical Printer 2 for double-sided copies, and

Logical Printer 3 for manual feed. Then you will map Logical Printers 1, 2, and 3 to the physical printer on the

PrintServer’s Parallel port.

Select Printer

. From the

Logical Printer Port No:

drop-down menu, select the number (1-6) of the printer you

wish to configure. From the

drop-down menu, select the PrintServer’s physical port,

Parallel 1

or

USB 1

.

Click the

Chapter 8: Bi-Admin Management

Overview

Chapter 7: Bi-Admin Management

Overview

If you use Windows, then you can manage the PrintServer using its web-based utility (see “Chapter 6:

Configuring the PrintServer Using the Web-based Utility”) or a utility program called Bi-Admin, which is provided

on the PrintServer’s Setup CD-ROM. (If you use a Macintosh or other non-Windows operating system, you can

manage the PrintServer only by using its web-based utility.)

Fully compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP, Bi-Admin allows you to change the PrintServer’s internal

settings, check on the unit’s status, and perform basic diagnostic tests. Note that the Bi-Admin program must be

installed only on the network administrator’s computer. First, you will install Bi-Admin on your computer. Then,

you will be able to use the management utility.

Bi-Admin Installation

1.

Make sure you have no programs or applications running on your computer.

2.

If you haven’t already done so, insert the Setup CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. The Setup CD-

ROM should run automatically. If it does not, click the

Start

button and choose

Run

. In the box that appears,

enter

D:\setupWizard.exe

(if “D” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).

3.

When you see Figure 8-1, click

Bi-Admin Install

to continue. Click

Exit

to end the installation.

4.

The

Welcome

screen of the Bi-Admin Setup program, Figure 8-2, will appear first. Click

Cancel

to quit the

setup program, and then close the open programs. Click

Next

to continue with the Bi-Admin installation.
