Chapter 6: Network Printing

Network-enabled printers can be connected directly to a network, providing the

flexibility of printing to the same printer from multiple workstations.

To configure the printer’s network settings, connect to the Administrator program

over a local USB or serial or parallel port. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on

connecting to the printer using a local port.

With the Administrator communicating with the printer over a local port, select the

Administrator’s first tab, I/O Settings, and look at the lower-right section of the

screen labeled Printer Ethernet Settings.

There are two ways to determine the printer’s address on the network. One is to

assign the printer an address by entering it in this settings window, and the other

is to allow the network to automatically assign an address to the printer.

Assigning a Static Address

To assign a static address, first obtain an address from the network administrator.

In addition to the address for the printer, the network administrator must report

the proper net mask for the network and the address of the gateway for the

network.

Type the printer’s address in the IP ADDRESS field, type the net mask in the IP

NET MASK field, and type the gateway address in the IP GATEWAY field.

Select the LPD and RTEL check boxes, and deselect the DHCP checkbox. Type

9100 in the RTEL Port Number field and type 32768 in the Ethernet Text

Buffer Size field.

After typing in all the entries, click the Apply button.

The screen should look like this:
