Configuring NIC

Connecting To The Network

To attach the NIC to a network, plug the network cable into the NIC connector
(see Figure 10).
Watch the LEDs in the rear of the printer as they cycle through the power on
self-test. When the test is complete, the STAT led will flash.

Configuration Setup

There are two parts to a NIC setup:
1. Configuring the NIC so it can be seen on the network. This involves
network related settings (e.g., an IP address within TCP/IP e nvironments)
configured through the built-in command shell, npsh , or from the control
panel.
2. Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to sen d data to the
NIC. Just being able to see the printer on the network does not mean you
can automatically print to it. A host has to be told where to send the data.
