When using the Network Interface Cable:

The following are the steps to set up LPR Port printing using TCP/IP.

Step 1: Setting up TCP/IP on the computer

Step 2: Setting up TCP/IP on the printer

Step 3: Installing the printer driver and utilities

Step 1: Setting up TCP/IP on the computer

If the TCP/IP protocol is already installed on your computer and it is configured, proceed to the next step. If it is not installed, you need to install TCP/IP in the operating system on the computer and configure it.

If the administrator manages the IP Address, contact him/ her to confirm the values before setting up. Be sure to assign the unique value for the IP Address that is not used on another device on the network. Regarding the configuration of TCP/IP, refer to the help menu or documentation for Windows.

Step 2: Setting up TCP/IP on the printer

You need to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway for the printer. It can be set by using one of the following three methods.

•Using the DHCP server

•Using the Network Setup Tool

•Using the Printer Panel

If the administrator manages the network with DHCP server, it will automatically assign an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. These can be viewed by printing out the configuration page (see below).

For the instructions of another method, refer to “Network” section in the Operating Instructions (see “Using the Manuals” on page 27).

1Turn the printer on (see “Power On” on page 29).

2Press MENU/EXIT (PAUSE) button on the printer panel.

3Press (CONTINUE) button until Test Page menu appears.

4Press ENTER button.

Menu Map item menu appears.

5Press (CONTINUE) button until Configuration Page item menu appears.

6

Press ENTER button.

Setup

 

 

The configuration page will be printed.

 

7

Confirm the IP Address on the configuration page.

 

NOTE:

•If the printer receives the IP Address with unlimited lease term, the printer keeps the address permanently. The printer saves the address statically and the DHCP function becomes disable automatically.

Step 3: Installing the printer driver and utilities

If you want to install the printer driver and utilities using the network interface cable, be sure to connect the printer with a network interface cable and to turn it on in advance. Perform the following steps to complete the installation.

For Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP

•Log in as an Administrator.

For Windows NT 4.0

•Confirm the LPR port is installed. (Refer to Network section of the Operating Instructions.)

(1)Click Custom Printer Setup.

(2)Click Install Network Port.

(3)Insert the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM and install the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Service.
