8: DLC Configuration for LAN
Manager
The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. This
chapter explains DLC/Digital Network Port configuration for Windows NT 4.x hosts.
Note: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See
Setting the IP Address on page 4-1 for instructions.
Printing using an LPD client is the preferred method for sending print jobs to the MPS.
Windows 95 does not support DLC printing (see Chapter 4 for more information).

To send print jobs from a Windows NT host to the MPS, add the MPS as a Windows NT
printer.

2 Double-click the Add Printer icon.
