Setting the printer’s IP address

You can set the printer’s IP address by any of the following methods:

■Use the printer’s front panel. For more information, see “Setting IP parameters from the front panel” on page 48.

■Use DHCP. For more information, see “Setting IP parameters: DHCP” on page 51.

■Download a PostScript utility ﬁle. For more information, see the README ﬁles on the printer’s CD-ROM and network utilities diskettes. PC users: the README ﬁle for PostScript utility ﬁles is in the UTILS directory. Macintosh users: the ReadMe ﬁle for PostScript utility ﬁles in the Network Utilities folder.

PhaserPort software installation

Using the installer

You can install PhaserPort software using the installer on your printer’s software CD-ROM. A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers, PhaserPort, and other software.

1.Insert the printer’s software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

■If the Windows autorun feature is enabled, the CD-ROM launches automatically.

■If the Windows autorun feature is disabled, double-click My Computer, then double click the CD icon to launch the CD-ROM.

2.View the brief introductory information, then click Install Drivers to launch the installer.

3.When you are prompted to select Easy Install or Custom Install, select Custom Install.

4.During custom installation, a dialog is displayed enabling you to select the options you want to install. Check the box for PhaserPort. To install the drivers and PPD ﬁles for your printer, check the box for Drivers/PPDs (this is recommended for ﬁrst-time installations). Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. For details, see, “Create your ﬁrst port and install the driver” on page 33.
