CHAPTER 3
IP ADDRESS
OVERVIEW
To take advantage of the many SuperScript network features, you must assign an IP address to the printer network interface card or NIC. This chapter explains several ways of assigning an IP address.
ASSIGNING THE IP ADDRESS
Obtaining the Printer’s IP Address
Obtain the printer’s IP Address from your network administrator. (This step is not necessary for Macintosh users or if you have a DHCP server.)
note: If a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is present, an IP address will automatically be processed and returned to the NIC. A Network Settings page will print showing the printer IP address. See page 16 for more information about DHCP.
Selecting an IP Address Assignment Method
If a DHCP server is not present, there are several ways to assign a TCP/IP address to your printer.
Operator Panel
