Chapter 6: Network Printing
Network-enabled printers can be connected directly to a network, providing the
flexibility of printing to the same printer from multiple workstations.
To configure the printer’s network settings, connect to the Administrator program
over a local USB or serial or parallel port. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on
connecting to the printer using a local port.
With the Administrator communicating with the printer over a local port, select the
Administrator’s first tab,
I/O Settings
, and look at the lower-right section of the
screen labeled
Printer Ethernet Settings
.
There are two ways to determine the printer’s address on the network. One is to
assign the printer an address by entering it in this settings window, and the other
is to allow the network to automatically assign an address to the printer.
Assigning a Static Address
To assign a static address, first obtain an address from the network administrator.
In addition to the address for the printer, the network administrator must report
the proper net mask for the network and the address of the gateway for the
network.
Type the printer’s address in the
IP ADDRESS
field, type the net mask in the
IP
NET MASK
field, and type the gateway address in the
IP GATEWAY
field.
Select the
LPD
and
RTEL
check boxes, and deselect the
DHCP
checkbox. Type
9100
in the
RTEL Port Number
field and type
32768
in the
Ethernet Text
Buffer Size
field.
After typing in all the entries, click the
Apply
button.
The screen should look like this:
