Configuring for
Pull Printing
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an IP address to the printer.
If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer.
1Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on page 32.
2Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 33 and begin with step 2.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address to the printer.
One of the easiest ways is to use the operator panel:
1Press Menu until you see Network Menu, and then press Select.
2Press Menu until you see Standard Network, and then press Select.
Standard Network appears if you purchased a printer with a network port on the printer system board. If you have a print server installed in the option card, you see Network Option 1.
3Press Menu until you see Std Net Setup (or Network 1 Setup), and then press Select.
4Press Menu until you see TCP/IP, and then press Select.
5Press Menu until you see Set IP Address, and then press Select.
6Change the address by pressing Menu to increase or decrease each number. Press Select to move to the next segment. Press Select when you are finished.
The message Saved appears briefly.
7Press Menu until you see Set IP Netmask, and then press Select.
8Repeat step 6 to set the IP Netmask.
9Press Menu until you see Set IP Gateway, and then press Select.
10Repeat step 6 to set the IP Gateway.
11When you are finished, press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.
1Print another network setup page. Look under the “TCP/IP” heading and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are what you expected. See “Printing a network setup page” on page 32 if you need help.
2Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a command prompt on a network computer, type “ping” followed by the new printer IP address (for example, 192.168.0.11).
If the printer is active on the network, you receive a reply.
If your printer has an optional ™ImageQuick™ firmware card installed, you can configure for Pull Printing once an IP address is assigned to the printer.
For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the CD that shipped with the ImageQuick card.
