7.
Make an entry into the hostÕs ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
table deÞning the printerÕs IP/Ethernet address pair. In general,
this requires a command corresponding to one of the following
syntax examples:
arp -s printer-name Ethernet-address (for BSD systems)
or
arp -s ether printer-name Ethernet-address (for System V)
See the documentation for your host system for speciÞcs of this
command.
8.
Turn on the printer.
9.
Use the ping command to force the printer to accept the IP address
set in the ARP table. This is a special conÞguration mode allowed
by Tektronix printers. Type:
ping IP-address
Note
Some systems may not accept the ping command the Þrst time; if
this occurs, send it again.
10.
Use the host spooling system (for example, lpr or lp) to send the
file you created in Step 3b to the printer. This stores the IP
addressing information in the printerÕs internal memory, where it
is retained over a reset or power cycle.
11.
Reset the printer. For more information about resetting the
printer, see ÒResetting your printerÓ on page 2-11.
