2-19 E-750 on a network with UNIX workstations
Setting up the E-750 on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the E-750, must have
a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator
to obtain an address for the E-750. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can
print directly to the E-750 as a remote printer, or can print to a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print
server. Since the E-750 spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in
placing another print server between a workstation and the E-750. If you choose to do
so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine does not have
its own spooling area.

TCP/IP
FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE
E-750
1. A superuser (with root login) must add the E-750 to the network’s IP host table or
other system database of network printers.
2. In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the E-750 name you assigned.
3. Make the E-750 available as a printer to other network users.
4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
Windows computer on the network, at the MS-DOS command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the E-750 IP address assigned in E-750 Network Setup.
After the E-750 is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to
the E-750:
ping <hostname>
