Configuration Using the Printer Control Panel
Configuration Tools
There are two parts to a PrintNet setup:
1.Configuring the PrintNet so it can be seen on the network. This involves network related settings (e.g. an IP address within TCP/IP environments) configured through the
2.Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send data to the PrintNet. Just being able to see the printer on the network does not mean you can automatically print to it. A host has to be told where to send the data.
NOTE: Some network environments do not require any network settings to be configured on the PrintNet. However, all network setups require configuration on the host end.
Configuration Using the Printer Control Panel
The PrintNet settings can be set from the printer control panel. The procedure is described below.
CAUTION When the printer is first powered on, the message “ENET IS INIT” displays on the control panel. This process takes about two minutes. Make sure not to change the PrintNet settings while this message is displayed to prevent a loss of PrintNet configuration information. When the initialization is complete, the message “ENET IS READY” displays, and the PrintNet settings may be safely changed from the control panel.
You can set any of three listed parameters from the printer control panel. These parameters are located in the ETHERNET PARAMS menu. The available parameters are:
•IP Address
•Gateway Address
•Subnet Mask
