Peer to Peer Printing

You can print to your DP series unit from the above operating systems without the need of a Server. You can also use this method of printing even if you have a Server but would prefer to print directly to your DP unit. You may need to have Administrator access rights to perform the following operations, please consult with your Network Administrator if you are unsure.

Stage 1

What you will need

Your DP unit will need a TCP/IP address e.g. 192.168.10.1, a sub-net mask e.g. 255.255.255.0 and a gateway address e.g. 192.168.10.100. Your network administrator may need to give you these addresses. Your PC will also need to have TCP/IP printing services installed, this is built in to Windows 2000 but not in NT4 so you may need to load this from your Windows CD ROM. Please consult your Windows documentation for further information.

Once you have these addresses you will need to input these into the DP unit. Follow these instructions to input these settings.

1.With the unit turned on press the “function” key located on the dashboard at the top towards the right.

2.Use the arrow button (DP2500) or the toggle button (DP2000) to select page 2 of the menu.

3.Scroll down to “Key operator code”

4.Input “000” then either OK or SET (if this code is incorrect consult your Dealer)

5.Scroll down until you see “TCP/IP Address”

6.Input the information as requested. Remember to use the full three digit number for the address e.g. if the address for one segment is “10” input “010”. If you make a mistake, use the “clear” button to erase your entry. Repeat the above and the Sub-Net Mask and Gateway.

7.After you have entered the address remember to press the “set” button to register your entry.

8.After entering all of the information press the “reset” button to get back to the main menu then switch the unit off and then on for the changes to take effect.

9.You can check to see if your settings have been accepted by going back into the menu’s previously mentioned.
