4.5Configuring the Network Printer

If you have installed an option network interface card on the FS-8000C or purchased a FS- 8000CN (network model), you can attach and configure the printer on a network.

To successfully configure the network printer, you will have to:

Install the network interface card in the printer (except for the FS-8000CN)

Set the IP address, netmask, and gate way

Activate the appropriate network protocol (TCP/IP, Novell NetWare, AppleTalk, etc.) using the software (supplied with the network interface card)

Share the printer on the network, if desired

You can use the instructions provided with the option card to complete these steps. In general, the information you will be required to enter during these steps must be obtained from your network administrator.

To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway, using the printer operator panel, see Chapter 3

Using the Operator Panel, section 3.5.4 Resolving IP Address on page 3-43 .

To print a network status page, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, Printing a
