TO SET UP TCP/IP FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE EX7750
1. A superuser (with root login) must add the EX7750 to the network’s IP host table or
other system database of network printers.
2. In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the EX7750 name you assigned.
3. Make the EX7750 available as a printer to other network users.
4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the EX7750 IP address assigned in EX7750 Network Setup.
After the EX7750 is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave
to the EX7750:
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as
Reply from <IP address> ...
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address.
To stop the output, type Control-C. You can use the ping command at any time.
