The following steps describe the complete printer setup in Microsoft Windows NT4, which 
is similar for other versions of the Windows operating system. If you are using a different 
operating system, such as Unix, refer to the JetAdmin guide for instructions. We assume 
you have installed the JetAdmin program from CDROM or Internet download. 
1.  To start the JetAdmin program, select [

2.  In the JetAdmin window, select [

Device>New

]. This detects the MAC address(es) of 

unconfigured HP printers or interfaces. The MAC address of the JetDirect you wish to 
configure should be in this list. 

NOTE:

 If the network uses DHCP to supply IP addresses, the JetDirect may 

automatically enable this feature and allow DHCP to supply the address. If this 
occurs, modify the existing entry.
