Setting the IP Parameters
The IP-parameter settings can either be set fix, or they can be requested from a DHCP
server with every start of the printer. To assist the system administrator, the DHCP
server is provided a device name on request, which consists of a combination of print-
er type + 3 digits from the MAC address. (e.g. AP_5.4___300dpi_020049). The follow-
ing values have been preset:
• IP address: 192.168.1.99
• Net mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 0.0.0.0

Connection to a name server is not required.

WARNING: The address allocation for each device must be clear and unambigu-
ous. Ask your network administrator for assistance!
Transmission with Raw Socket Interface
Printing data can be transmitted using a parameterisable socket interface (TCP server
socket on port number > 1024).
This protocol is supported by
• all Unix derivatives; a connection similar to that of terminal servers can be estab-
lished.
• Windows 2000, Windows XP
A software package from external providers is required for Windows 95, Windows
98 and Windows NT (e.g. Serial/IP by Tactical Software,
http://www.tacticalsoftware.com).
In this way you can set the Port address in the printer’s parameter menu:
