Configure for TCP/IP
Step 10: Configure for TCP/IP
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an IP
address to the printer.
Assigning a printer IP
address
If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after you
connect the network cable to the printer.
1 Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page
you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on page 32.
2 Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 33 and begin with step 2.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address to the
printer.
One of the easiest ways is to use the operator panel:
1 Press Menu until you see Network Menu, and then press Select.
2 Press Menu until you see Standard Network, and then press Select.
Standard Network appears if you purchased a printer with a network port on
the printer system board. If you have a print server installed in the option card,
you see Network Option 1.
3 Press Menu until you see Std Net Setup (or Network 1 Setup), and then
press Select.
4 Press Menu until you see TCP/IP, and then press Select.
5 Press Menu until you see Set IP Address, and then press Select.
6 Change the address by pressing Menu to increase or decrease each number.
Press Select to move to the next segment. Press Select when you are finished.
The message Saved appears briefly.
7 Press Menu until you see Set IP Netmask, and then press Select.
8 Repeat step 6 to set the IP Netmask.
9 Press Menu until you see Set IP Gateway, and then press Select.
10 Repeat step 6 to set the IP Gateway.
11 When you are finished, press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.
Verifying the IP settings 1 Print another network setup page. Look under the “TCP/IP” heading and make
sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are what you expected. See
“Printing a network setup page” on page 32 if you need help.
Note: On Windows computers, click
Start
à Programs à Command
prompt (or Accessories
à Command
prompt if using Windows 2000).
2 Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a command prompt
on a network computer, type “ping” followed by the new printer IP address (for
example, 192.168.0.11).
If the printer is active on the network, you receive a reply.
Configuring for
Pull Printing
If your printer has an optional ™ImageQuick™ firmware card installed, you can
configure for Pull Printing once an IP address is assigned to the printer.
For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the CD that shipped with the ImageQuick
card.
