Network Protocols
Determining Enabled Protocols
All protocols can be enabled and disabled. The Configuration Page displays which
protocols are enabled. If a protocol is enabled, the field for that protocol lists the current
parameters. If the protocol is disabled, the field for that protocol contains an entry reading
Off
.
Disabling and Enabling Protocols
After your network configuration is complete, you may want to disable protocols that you
are not using to avoid unnecessary network traffic. There are four ways to disable
protocols:
■
Use the printer’s front panel — see
page 32
.
■
Using CentreWare DP — In NetWare environments, you can use CentreWare DP. See
the
CentreWare DP Setup and User Guide
.
■
Using CentreWare IS — see
page 32
.
With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use CentreWare
IS.
■
Using PostScript Utility Files
Send the appropriate PostScript utility file to the printer. See the
ReadMe
files on the
printer’s CD-ROM. The PC
ReadMe
file is in the
UTILS
directory; the Macintosh
ReadMe
file is in the
Network Utilities
folder.
You can enable protocols by the same procedure. Just select the command to enable a
protocol rather than disable it.
