Routing
The routing table tells the PrintNet which router or gateway to use
to access other subnets or hosts. In most situations, you can simply
add your router's IP address as the default router. All packets
destined for other subnets will be forwarded to the default router for
delivery to the destination host. If you have more complex routing
requirements, add static routing entries for specific hosts or
networks in the remaining Routing rows. Packets with IP addresses
that match a given Destination and Mask (from the first two fields in
a Routing row) will be routed to the router/gateway named in the
third field. Packets which do not match any of the listed
Destinations and Masks will be routed to the default router if one is
set.
Print Path Configuration
The PrintNet print path is the path a print job takes when it reaches
the printer's Ethernet interface. First the job goes to a destination/
queue (e.g. d1prn) where it then passes through an associated
model (e.g. m1) for extra processing and logpath (e.g. l1) for job
and printer logging. Finally the job reaches printer's data parser.
The "Print Path" Webpage displays one destination's settings at a
time. From here, you can then select another destination or you can
go directly to an I/O port to configure port settings.
