B-4 Configuring Your Workstation for TCP/IP
Configuring Your
Workstation for
TCP/IP
To send a print job via TCP/IP, your workstation must be configured as
follows:
• Your workstation must have an Ethernet adapter (interface card),
which must be properly installed and connected via Ethernet
cabling to the network.
• You must have TCP/IP software installed and configured on your
workstation.
Your workstation must have:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway (optional, used for connection to the Internet)
If your network supports DHCP, simply enable this service. DHCP auto-
matically assigns IP addresses without user intervention.
If your network does not support DHCP, or your network administrator
prefers to use static (unchanging) IP addresses, your network adminis-
trator must assign an address.
You can use the following IP address and subnet mask when your
workstation is cabled directly to the printer’s network port, or if they are
both on a local area network:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
If you add additional workstations, simply add 1 to the IP address (for
example, the second printer could be 192.168.1.2; the third,
192,168.1.3, and so on).
