Front Panel Setup Firmware Requirements

IP Address Setup with the Printer Front Panel

Set the IP address and other 3000E parameters using the following procedure. Note: Setting the IP address with the front panel automatically sets IP Persistence to Permanent, that is, the IP address is maintained when the printer is turned off and on.

1.Press the MODE key. If the first line of the LED panel does not already display INTERFACE, press the + or - key until INTERFACE is displayed.

2.If the line below INTERFACE does not already display OPTION (OPTION 2 on the FS-7000), press the ENTER key, then + or - until OPTION is displayed and press ENTER.

3.Press the > key to enter the Option submenu. (Note: Not all firmware versions support front panel setup. If there is no Option submenu or not all choices are available on the submenu, please check the firmware requirements listed below.)

4.Press + or - until TCP/IP is displayed. Press the > key to enter the TCP/IP submenu (only accessible when the TCP/IP protocol is On).

5.Press + or - until IP Address is displayed. Press the ENTER key and a cursor will appear under the last digit of the IP address.

6.Press the < or > key to move the cursor to the desired digit to change. Press + or - to change the value of a digit.

7.Once all digits are set as desired, press the ENTER key to accept the new address.

8.Repeat steps 5 - 7 for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway (the router’s IP address). If unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the first number in the 3000E IP address is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask.

9.When all settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are completed, press the < key to return to the Option submenu (TCP/IP is displayed).

Note: It is recommended to turn off protocols that are not in use, however, be aware that the management and print capabilities which depend upon that protocol will no longer function. E.g., if the Novell protocol (IPX) is turned off, then NetWare printing, management with the MAP utility, and IPX Peer to Peer printing will all be disabled.

10.Optional: Press + or - to display the protocol to turn off, e.g. EtherTalk. Press the ENTER key and a ? will appear next to On. Press + or - to toggle the value to Off and press ENTER to accept the new value. Repeat for each protocol to turn off.

11.When completed, press the MODE key to exit the menu system.

12.Press the STATUS key to print a status page and verify the new settings.
