Configuration Using IP Discovery:
DHCP, BootP, and RARP are server services that provide a method for assigning and maintaining IP Addresses. With
IP Discovery enabled, the Print Server obtains IP information from this service. Because IP Discovery is, by default,
disabled in the printer, it must first be enabled for use. To use IP Discovery follow the steps below:
;
Note:
The following example uses the DMXConfig software utility to configure the printer. On printers equipped with a display,
the same settings can be changed using the printer’s menu system via the front panel under COMMUNICATIONS >
NIC ADAPTER > IP DISCOVERY.
1. Connect the host to the printer with a serial or
parallel cable.
2. Turn on the printer.
3. Launch the DMXConfig utility.
See the “Printer
Configuration Utility (DMXConfig)” section for more
information.
4. Query the printer by using the Query Printer toolbar
button (top-left). This will connect to the printer and
get the current printer settings.
5. Next select the Communications tab, scroll down to
the network parameters, and locate the DHCP
Status menu item. Click on the drop down box next
to the item and select Enable.
6. Send the settings to the printer using the Configure
Printer toolbar button.
7. The printer will reset and then connect to your
network.
8. The IP Address assigned to the printer can be
viewed on the Wireless Report. To print the
‘Wireless Report’, press the PAUSE, FEED, and
CANCEL buttons at the same time.
