3 Installing drivers for network printing

Printing a network setup page

Note: If an optional MarkNet™ N8000 series internal print server is installed, Print Net1 Setup appears on the display.

5Check the first section on the network setup page, and confirm that Status is “Connected.”

If Status is “Not Connected,” the LAN drop may not be active, or the network cable may be malfunctioning. Consult a system support person for a solution, and print another network setup page to verify the printer is connected to the network.

Assigning a printer IP address

If the network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned connecting the network cable to the printer.

6Press until Netmask appears, and then press .

7Using the numeric pad, enter the IP netmask. When the address is entered, press .
