To install the Printer Administration Utility, use the installer supplied with the CD-ROM. Follow the
procedure described in “Using the installer in the CD-ROM” on page 7. Select the Printer
Administration Utility in step 7 of this procedure.

To install or uninstall the Printer Administration Utility on the Windows NT system, use the ‘Administrator’ privileges. If
another user installs or uninstalls it, the settings may not be correct.

If a PCMCIA network card is removed or inserted while the Printer Administration Utility is operating, a malfunction
may occur. Be careful not to remove or insert a PCMCIA card in any case while the Printer Administration Utility is
operating.

The Printer Administration Utility is used to set and monitor the printer

*1

 that is connected to a

network through the standard network management protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). The Printer Administration Utility can be used on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows
NT 4.0.

*1  The Printer Administration Utility can be used with printers that are compatible with SNMP and

Printer MIB.

For starting the Printer Administration Utility, select ‘SHARP Printer Administration Utility’ and

Administration Utility’ and ‘Help’ from ‘Programs’ of the ‘Start’ menu.

If the printer is used in NetWare environment, the NW Setup allows easy connection setup.

The NW Setup is a setup tool for using a SHARP printer with a network card installed in a Novell
NetWare environment. Registration of printers to a NetWare server and parameter settings for a
network card can be performed by using a procedure with wizards.

For using the NW Setup, a Novell Client supplied by Novell must have been installed. Also before
starting the NW Setup, you must log in the NetWare server with the ‘Administrator’ privileges.

To use the NW Setup, the following hardware and software are needed.

NetWare server: IntranetWare (NetWare 4.x)

NetWare client:  Novell Client 4.5 for Windows NT

Novell Client v3.0 for Windows 95/98

Client PC operating system: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0

Printer: SHARP printer with a Print Server Card (AR-NC1D or AR-NC3D) installed

To install the NW Setup, use the installer supplied with the CD-ROM. Follow the procedure
described in “Using the Installer in the CD-ROM” on page 7. Select the NW Setup in step 7 of this
procedure.

For information on how to use the NW Setup, see the PDF file (\doc\English\NWSetup.pdf) supplied
with the CD-ROM.
