Configuration Using the Printer Control Panel

Configuration Tools
There are two parts to a PrintNet setup:
1. Configuring the PrintNet so it can be seen on the network. This
involves network related settings (e.g. an IP address within TCP/IP
environments) configured through the built-in command shell, npsh,
or from the control panel.
2. Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send data to
the PrintNet. Just being able to see the printer on the network does
not mean you can automatically print to it. A host has to be told where
to send the data.
NOTE: Some network environments do not require any network settings
to be configured on the PrintNet. However, all network setups
require configuration on the host end.
Configuration Using the Printer Control Panel
The PrintNet settings can be set from the printer control panel. The
procedure is described below.
CAUTION
When the printer is first powered on, the message “ENET IS INIT”
displays on the control panel. This process takes about two
minutes. Make sure not to change the PrintNet settings while this
message is displayed to prevent a loss of PrintNet configuration
information. When the initialization is complete, the message “ENET
IS READY” displays, and the PrintNet settings may be safely
changed from the control panel.
You can set any of three listed parameters from the printer control panel.
These parameters are located in the ETHERNET PARAMS menu. The
available parameters are:
• IP Address
• Gateway Address
• Subnet Mask
