Windows PrintNet Configuration
The IP address and subnet mask are mandatory TCP/IP settings
and are needed before the print server can be detected on the
network. There are also additional optional settings. This section
offers alternative methods for configuring your PrintNet in a
Windows environment and describes some of the more common
optional settings available.
Mandatory
Since TCP/IP is used for Windows printing, the PrintNet must be
configured with a minimum of an IP address and subnet mask
before it can be seen on the network.
Optional
Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured. This
allows communication across subnets when no other router exists.
You can configure the PrintNet from the printer control panel, Web
browser, host commands, or other Printronix utility software. To
configure these options, see “Configuration Tools” on page 25.
Configuration using ARP
To configure the PrintNet with its IP settings using a manual
arp
command:
1. Log on to a Windows station with TCP/IP loaded and located
on the same subnet as the PrintNet.
2. Find the Ethernet address for the PrintNet on the configuration
printout. It must be entered as part of this procedure.
