Installation And
Configuration
Installation
The printer has an RJ-45 connector on the back panel for
10/100Base-T (UTP) networks. Print a test page to confirm that the
Ethernet is installed. Contact your service representative if the
Ethernet is not installed.
Connecting to the Network
To attach the PrintNet to a network, plug the network cable into the
RJ-45 connector.
Configuration Tools
There are two parts to a PrintNet setup:
•
Configuring the PrintNet so it can be seen on the network. This
involves network-related settings (e.g., an IP address within
TCP/IP environments) configured through the built-in command
shell, npsh, or from the control panel.
•
Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send
data to the PrintNet. Just being able to see the printer on the
network does not mean you can automatically print to it. A host
has to be told where to send the data.
