Installing drivers for network printing

 

Printing a network setup page

If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page on the printer to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that helps in configuring for network printing.

1Make sure the printer is on.

Note: If an optional MarkNet™ N8000 Series internal print server is installed, Print Network1 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” is on the page, 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 that the printer is connected to the network.

Assigning a printer IP address

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

1Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page printed in Printing a network setup page.
