Printronix P5000LJ user manual Configuration Using The Printer Control Panel, Configuring NIC

Chapter 3 Configuring NIC

Note	Some network environments do not require any network settings to be
	configured on the NIC. However, all network setups require configuration
	on the host end.

Configuration Using The Printer Control Panel

	NIC settings can be set from the printer control panel. The procedure is
	described below.
Note	When the printer is first powered on, the messages “Waiting for the
	Ethernet Adapter” and “Ethernet Detected” will display on the LCD. After
	several other boot messages appear, the LCD will display the message
	“E-NET INIT.” This initialization process will take about two minutes.
	During that time, you will not be able to change any printer settings from
	the control panel. If you attempt to do so, the message “Please Wait
	E-NET INIT.” will appear. When the initialization is complete, the message
	“E-NET READY” will display, and you may then change any NIC or other
	printer configuration options from the control panel.

You can set any of three listed parameters from the printer control panel. These parameters are located in the ETHERNET PARAMS menu. The available parameters are:

• IP Address

• Gateway Address

• Subnet Mask

The procedure for changing any of the parameters is the same. The procedure for changing the IP Address is given here as an example. Use the same procedure for the other required parameters.

To change the IP Address parameter:

1.Make sure the printer is on and raise the printer cover.

2.Press the ON LINE key to place the printer in the OFFLINE mode.

3.Unlock the ENTER key. (For instructions, refer to “Locking And Unlocking The ENTER Key” on page 48.)

4.Press the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key until the LCD displays “ETHERNET PARAMS.”

5.Press the DOWN arrow key to access the “IP Address” parameter.

6.Press the DOWN arrow key to view the current IP Address.

7.Press the DOWN arrow key to access the portion of the IP Address to be changed.

8.Press the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key to select the portion of the IP Address to be changed.
