Using MAP to set the IP Address
The Management Access Program (MAP), runs only under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0. You can use
MAP to locate and list SuperScript 4400 network printers connected to your network. Then you select one to go to
its Network Administration Page and configure TCP/IP Setup. See page 75 for more information.
Using Software Tools to set the IP Address
A number of software tools allow you to set the printer IP address from your workstation.
See page 79 for information on using BOOTP 32 to set
TCP/IP Parameters in Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0.
See page 83 for information about DHCP.
Using ARP to set the IP Address
You can use the following procedure to set the IP address on the 4400N printer. Then, you can set the other IP
parameters from the Network Administration Page. The network printer must be on the same network segment as
the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
1.
From Windows, start an MS DOS session.
2. At the command prompt enter:
arp -s
[IP address] [Hardware Address]
(for the hardware address, use hyphens as separators, instead of colons.)
Then enter
ping [IP address]
(request should time out)
3. Turn the printer off and on, and use the
ping
command again to verify that the 4400N printer has its IP
address. If it has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
[IP address] is alive
4. Remove the entry from the ARP cache using this command:
arp -d [IP address]
