Test Page

A parameter test page is generated when you power cycle the

 

 

 

printer. Print jobs are not accepted. NOTE: The printer must

 

 

 

be in PostScript mode. For raster-only printers, obtain the

 

 

 

parameters via a Telnet session.

 

 

 

 

Power cycle the device whenever you reset the switches. When finished in any mode, return the switches to Normal or Telnet mode, then power cycle the device again for printing.

2.8Configuring the Network Parameters

If you will be using TCP/IP, configure the NIC networking parameters. TCP/IP requires an IP address. You can set this up using Arp, then use a NIC configuration utility to save the IP address.

Note: Default configuration parameters should suffice for getting started with IPX, EtherTalk or NetBeui protocols.

To use TCP/IP:

1.Set the operating mode switches to Telnet (D1 Up, D2 Down).

2.Power cycle the printer/NIC.

3.Map an IP address to the NIC Ethernet address using Arp.

Note: You can use Arp only if the computer supports TCP/IP and the existing IP address is 0.0.0.0. If an IP address already exists, change it using a NIC configuration utility.

Use the syntax your system requires for mapping an IP address to the hardware address. If needed, obtain the syntax using your system help.

EXAMPLE: for MS-DOS, when the hardware address = 0040C8:1234AB and the IP address = 2.4.6.8, type:

arp -s 2.4.6.8 00-40-C8-12-34-AB

Note: If an error occurs, type arp or arp /help for the proper syntax for your system.

4. To use Telnet (with MS-DOS), type telnet 2.4.6.8 2002

Note: 2002 is the NIC’s diagnostic port.
