Network Protocols

Determining Enabled Protocols

All protocols can be enabled and disabled. The Configuration Page displays which protocols are enabled. If a protocol is enabled, the field for that protocol lists the current parameters. If the protocol is disabled, the field for that protocol contains an entry reading Off.

Disabling and Enabling Protocols

After your network configuration is complete, you may want to disable protocols that you are not using to avoid unnecessary network traffic. There are four ways to disable protocols:

■Use the printer’s front panel — see page 32.

■Using CentreWare DP — In NetWare environments, you can use CentreWare DP. See the CentreWare DP Setup and User Guide.

■Using CentreWare IS — see page 32.

With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use CentreWare IS.

■Using PostScript Utility Files

Send the appropriate PostScript utility file to the printer. See the ReadMe files on the printer’s CD-ROM. The PC ReadMe file is in the UTILS directory; the Macintosh ReadMe file is in the Network Utilities folder.

You can enable protocols by the same procedure. Just select the command to enable a protocol rather than disable it.
