The OkiLAN 6020e Pocket Print Server enables

Ethernet network users to connect to a printer with a

bidirectional parallel port. The OkiLAN 6020e can be

made to work with any Centronics or IEEE-1284 paral-

lel interface printer that includes a resident emulation

such as PCL versions 4 through 6, Adobe PostScriptâ,

IBM ProPrinterâ or Epsonâ emulations.

The OkiLAN 6020e supports 10/100-megabit networks

and most popular network operating systems and print-

ers, except for the OKIPAGE 8z and other GDI-based

printers.

The OkiLAN 6020e kit includes the following:

· OkiLAN 6020e hardware

· Power adapter with line cord

· Installation User’s Guide

· Utilities CD

· Product registration card

Installing the OkiLAN 6020e

1. Turn off printer power.

2. Attach the OkiLAN 6020e to the centronics connec-

tor on your printer.

printer’s connector.

4. Plug the power adapter wire into the power jack on

the OkiLAN 6020e. Then plug the power adapter

into a 120 VAC wall outlet.

tacle on the back of the OkiLAN 6020e.

Attach the other end of the cable to the Network.

Powering On the OkiLAN 6020e

Note: If the red and green indicators do not display as

indicated above, see Hardware Troubleshooting at the

end of this section.

Printing a Configuration Sheet

To print configuration information, press the Test button

on the front of the OkiLAN 6020e. You can also print

configuration information using the utility program

provided on the CD.

Note: By default, the configuration sheet prints in

ASCII text. If you want the configuration sheet to print

in PostScript or PCL, select this option (if the emulation

is supported in the printer) when you run the network

configuration utility program. The selected language

must match the printer’s configured language to print

correctly.

The content of the configuration sheet will vary depend-

ing on your printer and system setup.

Software Utilities

Introduction

Your OkiLAN 6020e Pocket Print Server comes with

two types of software utilities: OkiView 32 and OkiNet

Utilities.

OkiView 32

OkiView 32 is a general purpose utility for configuring

and montioring printers on NetWare and Windows NT/

2000 servers. It includes a GUI for the Win32

(Windows) environment. For more information on using

OkiView 32, see section VIII.

OkiNet Utilities

The OkiNet utilities are specialty utilities used in differ-

ent operating systems such as Unix, Mac and Win32.

A custom port monitor utility is also provided for the

Win32 environment which supports peer-to-peer

printing, also known as serverless printing. TCP/IP, DLC

and IPX-direct protocols are supported in this serverless

network environment. See Section VII, Windows Print-
