1 Introduction
About this Guide
This guide provides instructions for network administrators on installing
the Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card in the Kodak
Professional 8660 and 8670 PS thermal printers and configuring the
printers for use over a network. This guide also provides instructions on
configuring workstations to send jobs to the printers.
About the Network Interface Card
The Kodak Professional 10/100 network interface card (NIC) is an integral
PCI bus compatible print server that allows a printer to be shared on an
Ethernet 10 MB or Fast Ethernet 100MB network. Because the NIC has
multiprotocol capabilities, users with computers running different network
operating systems can simultaneously access the same printer.
Before you install the NIC in the printer, unpack and set up your printer
and install the printing software on each workstation that will send jobs to
the printer.
Features
The NIC has the following features:
• connects to either a 10BaseT or 100Base TX Fast Ethernet network
and autodetects the network type.
• contains flash memory for updating the firmware.
• contains a serial port to connect a console terminal or a serial printer.
• connects to the printer through a 33MHz 32-bit PCI bus.
• is configurable remotely using a Web browser.
• is compatible with Hewlett-Packard’s JetAdmin NetWare, Windows 95
Peer-to-Peer printer management software, and XAdmin Windows-
based NetWare management utility.
• has remote console capability management using Telnet or NetWare.
• contains IP security to restrict printing based on IP address
