Panasonic KX-P8420 Installation Guide

Overview
The features of the KX-P8420 printer make it an ideal printer in a network environment.
These steps should be used as a guideline for setting up the printer in a NetWare 4.1
network.

Installation will consist of four sections.  Please proceed with the installation in the order
shown below.

Enabling and configuring TCP\IP and IPX protocols on the KX-P8420.

Creating and configuring the KX-P8420 print server and queue on the NetWare
server using Pconsole.

Configuring the NetWare settings in the KX-P8420 using WebTools.

Installing and configuring the print driver.

Considerations
1) A network administrator with rights to the NetWare server is required to make the

necessary print server & queue additions to the server.

2) If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, setup NDS first.  Setting up NDS after

Bindery will overwrite the Bindery setup.  The KX-P8420 cannot support NDS and
bindery emulation servers in the same NDS tree.

3) The KX-P8420 requires a bindery context to be set and activated.
4) It is not recommended to connect the KX-P8420 to the server via LPT port.
5) Configuration of the KX-P8420 on a Novell network requires some setup to be

completed using WebTools.  WebTools require a JAVA enabled web browser and
TCP\IP protocol.  TCP\IP protocol is only necessary for setup and administration
purposes, and is not required on every workstation printing to the KX-P8420.  To
display WebTools properly a monitor resolution of 800 X 600 or higher is required.
