8 Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters

7.Execute the ping command from the host: ping printer-IP-address

8.Use the host spooling system (for example, lpr or lp) to send to the printer the ﬁle you created in Step 2b. This stores the IP addressing information in the printer’s internal memory, where it is retained over a reset or power cycle. (For more information on setting up queues, see “Assigning a print queue to the printer” on page 25.)

9.Reset the printer.

Setting IP parameters: PhaserLink Printer

Management Software

After setting the printer’s IP address by one of the methods described previously in this chapter, you can perform the rest of the TCP/IP conﬁguration using PhaserLink Printer Management Software, if you have a World Wide Web browser. For more information on PhaserLink Printer Management Software, see Chapter 9, “PhaserLink Printer Management Software”.

1.From the printer’s home page, click Conﬁguration; this displays the View and Conﬁgure Settings page.

2.From the View and Conﬁgure Settings page, click View and Conﬁgure Interface Settings; this displays the View and Conﬁgure Interface Settings page.

3.From the View and Conﬁgure Interface Settings page, click View and Conﬁgure TCP/IP Settings; this displays the View and Conﬁgure TCP/IP Settings page.

4.Enter your printer’s settings. If you make an error, click Restore Initial Form Values and start again.

5.When you are ﬁnished entering the settings, enter the Validation Password (if one has been set) and click Do/Apply.

6.The printer responds by displaying a dialog box that allows you to reset the printer. The new parameters will not take effect until the printer is reset.
