Configuration using the Printer Operator Panel

Configuration Tools
There are two parts to an Ethernet Interface setup:
1. Configuring the Ethernet Interface 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, printer web page or from the operator panel.
2. Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send data to
the Ethernet Interface. 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 Ethernet Interface. However, all network
setups require configuration on the host end.
Configuration using the Printer Operator Panel
The Ethernet Interface settings can be set from the printer operator panel.
The procedure is described below.
IMPORTANT
When the printer is first powered on, the message "ETHERNET
ADAPTER IS BEING INITIALIZED" displays on the operator panel.
This process takes about two minutes. Make sure not to change the
Ethernet Interface settings while this message is displayed to
prevent a loss of Ethernet Interface configuration information. When
the initialization is complete, the message "ETHERNET ADAPTER IS
READY" displays, and the Ethernet Interface settings may be safely
changed from the operator panel.
You can set any of three listed parameters from the operator panel.
These parameters are located in the “Ethernet Parameters” menu. The
available parameters are:
• IP Address
• Gateway Address
• Subnet Mask
