Chapter 3 Administration Configuration

The System Information form allows you to specify the following information about the printer:

Name

Name given to the print server in Novell and Windows environments.

For the integrated Ethernet, the default is P_xxxxxx

For the external (E-Net) Adapter, the default is M_xxxxxx

where xxxxxx represents the last six digits of the network adapter's Ethernet address (e.g., P_01001C and M_091C1A, respectively). For the Wireless Adapter, the default name is “M302_xxxxx” where “xxxxx” equals the five digit adapter serial number.

Description

Optional field to help identify the printer’s features and capabilities.

Location

Optional field to help identify the printer’s physical location.

Contact

Optional field to help identify the individual or group responsible for the printer.

Printer Serial Number

A serial number that the user can enter through the PrintNet Webpage to keep track of the PrintNet/printer.

NOTE: If the user has not entered a serial number through one of the Ethernet Interface cards, the printer may use its internal serial number from EEPROM. If EEPROM is blank, i.e. no serial number on the board, it will use the MAC address of the embedded Ethernet, embedded wireless Ethernet, or external Ethernet, respectively, as the printer’s serial number.
