TCP/IP submenu descriptions
The following gives a brief functional description of the Printer’s control panel TCP/IP
submenus.
TCP/IP
: Determines whether print jobs will be accepted over TCP/IP. The options are
Enabled and Disabled, with Disabled being the default. Press the + key to change the
option; press the Enter key to save your selection.
IP Class
: Depending on your network configuration, the address class will be either A, B,
or C. Use the + and – keys to change the address class; press the Enter key to save your
selection.
Check Addresses
: Determines whether TCP/IP address settings must be legal addresses
or if they can be set arbitrarily. The options are Enabled and Disabled, with Enabled being
the default.
Subnet Mask
: Enter a subnet mask if subnetting is used. The subnet mask setting de-
pends on your network configuration. If subnetting is not used leave the default un-
changed; the default value is, for each address class, that value that means there is no
subnetting. The subnet mask is displayed in hexadecimal. The + key adds a 1 bit to the
right of the existing ones; the – key removes the rightmost 1. In other words, the + key
turns the leftmost 0 bit to a 1, and the – key turns the rightmost 1 bit to a 0.
IP Address
: The printer’s IP address is displayed in dotted decimal notation (e.g.,
129.47.6.144). Edit one byte at a time, using the + and – keys to increase or decrease the
byte’s value. The Enter key moves you to the next byte. You may depress and hold down
the keys for faster transitions. Only valid addresses for the class and subnet mask, or zero,
are allowed.
Broadcast Address: The
IP broadcast address is displayed in dotted decimal. The
recommended broadcast address, all ones, is displayed as 255.255.255.255. The + and –
keys step through a list of values. (Press and hold down the keys for faster transitions.)
Press the Enter key to save your selection.
Default Router
: If you are using a router, enter its IP address; otherwise leave the default
address (zero) unchanged. The default router is required to be on the same net and subnet
as the printer; attempts to change the net or subnet number have no effect, if Check Ad-
dresses is Enabled.
Syslog Host:
If you use a syslog host enter its IP address; otherwise leave the default
address (zero) unchanged. The syslog host's address is displayed in dotted decimal, and
edited the same way as the printer’s IP address.
