3-9 Setting up TCP/IP printing
As with SunOS 4 or other BSD based systems, when printing to printers with a
hard disk and a minimum of 32MB of memory it is possible to configure up to
two additional printer entries, one with the
rp
name
xjprint
and one with the
rp
name
xjhold
(see page 3-7).
4. Type:
accept KX-P8420_PSq
This command tells the printer to accept print requests from your workstation.
You are now ready to print from the workstation to the printer.
5. Type:
enable
KX-P8420_PS
q
Verifying the TCP/IP network connection
Before a device on a TCP/IP network can send print jobs to the printer, the
printer must be given a valid IP address, as well as a gateway address and subnet
mask, if applicable. The IP address is used on all TCP/IP networks and must
always be assigned before the printer can be verified across the network.
Because TCP/IP networks require some UNIX setup by the network
administrator, you may not be able to send a test page from the driver across the
network to the printer immediately after installation. The following procedure
enables you to verify that there is a proper connection between the printer and the
network without using the printer driver to print a test page. Before you begin this
procedure, verify that the printer is functioning by printing a page from the
printer’s ROM.
For step by step instructions, see “Printing pages from the control panel” on
page 2-18 of Operating Instructions.
Once the printer’s TCP/IP setup is complete, you can verify the availability of the
printer using the
ping
command from the DOS prompt with Windows 95, or
from the Command prompt with Windows NT 4.0.
