5TCP/IP Configuration

Setting your printerÕs IP address

There are two methods to accomplish these printer conÞguration steps:

Server-based printer configuration. This method uses RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) or BOOTP (Boot Parameter Protocol). When turned on or reset, the printer receives its IP addressing information from a boot server.

Printer-based printer configuration. This method can be used on hosts that do not have RARP or BOOTP. You store the IP addressing information in the printerÕs internal memory, where the printer reads it when reset.

Setting your printerÕs IP address using RARP or BOOTP (server-based configuration)

With this method, conÞguration information is sent to the printer over the Ethernet connection via RARP or BOOTP, depending on which protocol your host supports.

The advantage of server-based conÞguration is that it provides centralized administration. You can conÞgure a number of printers from a central location. The disadvantage is that if the server is down, the printer will not appear on the network after a reset or power cycle, because the printer gets its boot information from a boot server and does not retain it in non-volatile memory.

You store the printerÕs conÞguration information in a conÞguration Þle such as an ethers or bootptab Þle on a boot server. On power up, the printer issues RARP and BOOTP requests and receives the conÞguration information from the server in the RARP or BOOTP response.

The RARP and BOOTP responses contain only network address information. After the printer has its address information, you can set other TCP/IP parameters by sending PostScript Þles to the printer using your host spooler. Shell scripts for creating the PostScript Þles are provided on the UNIX version of the printerÕs network utilities diskettes.
