Apple 12/640PS manual Using the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility, Enter a password

Using the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility

You can use telnet, a standard UNIX terminal emulation program, to log in to the printer’s configuration utility. The changes you make in the utility affect all printer users on your TCP/IP network—you don’t need to repeat this process for each workstation on the network. You can use the utility to

mprint a configuration page

mshow information about the TCP/IP interface

mturn PostScript banner pages on or off for TCP/IP print jobs

mchange the printer’s IP address

mset the TCP/IP subnet mask

midentify the default gateway IP address

menable or disable TCP/IP connection timeout checking

mchange the password for this utility

mreset the printer’s TCP/IP interface

mrestore all settings to the factory defaults

Logging in to the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility

To run the utility, follow these steps:

1Use telnet to log in to the printer’s TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility by typing telnet printer_IP_name

The printer responds by displaying a message on your screen welcoming you to the Configuration Utility.

2Enter a password.

The first time you log in to the printer, it requires you to assign a password to the utility. The password must be between 5 and 10 characters long. The characters you type will not appear on the screen.

Subsequently, you will need to enter the password to use the utility. The characters you type will not appear on the screen.

Note: You can change the password using this utility, as explained later in this chapter.
