CentreWare DP Features

8-32

DP Technical Information Guide

The Configuration Procedure is as follows:

1

Start CentreWare DP on a workstation.

2

Select the TCP/IP radio button located below the Printers List.

3

CentreWare DP will scan the local subnet of your network for 
printers with a TCP/IP address.

4

When the scan has completed, any CentreWare DP supported 
printer on your subnet will be displayed in the printers list.

5

Select the Tools menu. From this menu select the TCP/IP Discovery 
entry.

6

TCP/IP discovery outside your subnet can be enabled by when you 
set these parameters:

• Subnet Mask Tab- A fixed value that sets a range of TCP/IP 

addresses to search.

• Subnet Addresses Tab- Sets a range of subnets to search. A 

Subnet address may be any address within the subnet. To remove 
a subnet address, highlight the address in the list window and 
click the <<Move button.

7

Information on one or more specific printers may be discovered by 
use of this parameter:

• IP Addresses Tab- Sets a list of specific TCP/IP addresses to 

search. To remove an IP Address, highlight the address in the list 
window and click the <<Move button.

8

Plan your search strategy based on the relative locations of your 
printers and make the appropriate changes.

9

It may be necessary to change these parameters as printers are 
added or moved on the network.

If your network is connected directly to the Internet or a WAN, 
use caution when setting the Subnet Mask parameter.
