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 environments) 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 send 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.
