Step 13. Networking (Peer-to-peer - Windows 2000/XP example)
The basic printer networking process is generally a 7-step process, but may vary
depending on network configuration/support. Refer to User System CD for additional
networking information as necessary.
1). At the host computer (i.e. RIP workstation) assign network address settings.
a) At desktop right click on ‘My Network Places’ and select ‘Properties’. At
Local Area Connection window right click and select ‘Properties’. At local area
connection window select Internet Protocol and select ‘Properties’. If a TCP/IP
protocol is not listed then go ahead and install a TCP/IP protocol.
b) Assign workstation IP address (this
address should be one number different,
or very close to, from the printer’s address
for best results, i.e. 192.168.24.73).
Assign the Subnet mask and Default
gateway address (these addresses will
match the printer). DNS addresses are not
required unless internet/web access is
going to be assigned and available.
2). Assign IP address at printer (i.e.
192.168.24.74) – stay in the same ‘range’
as host computer from step 1 (i.e. one
number different from host workstation).
Select Setup Menu – Network Menu – IP
Address. Assign the Subnet mask and
Default Gateway addresses, these addresses must be exactly the same as
the host workstations. (see example above). Ensure DHCP (Dynamic Host
Control Protocol) is disabled unless advised by a network administrator that it
is required (a static IP address will need to be available in these types of
configurations).
