Chapter 9. Configuring Printer Network Addresses
Important
Defining the printer’s network address should be performed by a network
administrator or someone familiar with network addresses. If you have IBM
Network Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Quick Configuration Guide, please
refer to it when you configure your Ethernet or token-ring card.
Use this section to set the following values from the operator panel:
v
IP address
v
Subnet mask
v
Gateway address
v
Locally administered MAC address
Note: The MAC address is the Globally Administered Address (GAA). The MAC
address can be changed to the Locally Administered address (LAA).
Setting IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Addresses
To set an IP, subnet mask, or gateway address for the printer, perform these steps:
1. Press the Online key to take the printer OFFLINE.
2. Press the Menu key until the operator panel displays ETHERNET MENU or
TOKEN RING MENU.
3. Press the Item key until the operator panel displays the address to change (IP
ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK, or GATEWAY ADDRESS). This example shows
how to change the IP ADDRESS.
4. Press the Enter key. For a new printer whose IP address has not yet been set,
the operator panel displays:
IP ADDRESS 0<0.0.0 *
The “<” indicates the field whose value you can change at this point.
5. Press the Value key until the desired value is displayed. The range of the
address values is zero to 255. To decrement the value, simultaneously press
the Value key and the Shift key. To increment or decrement the value by 10,
press and hold the keys.
6. When the operator panel displays the value you want, press Enter. The “<”
moves to the next value, for example:
10.0<0.0
7. Press the Value key until the desired value is displayed, then press the Enter
key.
8. Repeat step 7 until all four values have been set, then press the Enter key to
set the address. The value has been set if an asterisk (*) displays to the right of
the value, for example:
9.99.40.2 *
9. Press the Online key to return the printer to READY status. The panel displays
the message I/O INITIALIZING and writes the new addresses to non-volatile
memory. (This process takes a few minutes.) Do not power off the printer
while the I/O INITIALIZING message is displayed.
