6. Assign the IP address, the Subnet mask, and the Default
gateway. If you use DHCP to acquire an IP address, you
can’t assign these items; they are assigned by the server.
7. Click
OK
to save the new settings. The update is complete
when the message “Configuration is successfully done”
appears. (After you click
OK
, wait a few minutes before
turning off the printer, so the settings have time to reach
the card.)
Before you can print using TCP/IP, you still need to do the
following on each computer that will use the printer:
◗ Install the printer driver (see page 36)
◗ Add a printer port (see page 38)
Using the arp Command
Make sure the Ethernet card and printer are on the same
segment of the network as the computer you are using to
configure the card. Also, you need to know the IP address for
the computer and the IP address you will assign to the printer’s
Ethernet card.
Follow these steps to assign the IP address:
1. Click
Start
, point to
Settings
, click
Control Panel
and
double-click the
Network icon.
2. In Windows 98 or Windows 95, highlight
TCP/IP and click
Properties, then click the Gateway tab.
In Windows NT, click the
Protocols tab. Highlight
TCP/IP Protocol and click Properties. Click the IP
Address
tab.
3. Type
11.22.33.44 in the Gateway box to set up a default
gateway. In Windows 98 or Windows 95, click
Add.
If you will use the card’s
internal home page, assign an
IP address manually.
The default IP address is
11.22.33.44. If you plan to
use the card’s internal home
page, change the default IP
address.
If a server or router acts as a
gateway, type the gateway
address. If there is no
gateway, type the IP address
of your computer.
