Printronix Network Interface Card Chapter 3 Configuration

Chapter 3 Configuration

The embedded NIC Web server gives you the ability to configure the network adapter, monitor printer status, and to manage print jobs. The NIC Web page structure is divided into several menus, as shown in Figure 3 on page 52

Configuration

The Configuration menu items allow you to configure the settings for the following items:

•Network - this menu item allows you to change the network setting for each protocol: TCP/IP, 802.11b, NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and Netware.

•Print Path - this menu item allows you to change the name of the destination queues, and define how the print job will be preprocessed before printing. It allows you to select what information to log, and to specify the SMTP server’s IP address.
