Ricoh AP2610N setup guide Using the Installation Shell Script, Assigning the IP Address

1. UNIX Configuration

This section explains how to set up a network printer and check the print status using UNIX.

Limitation

❒To print from a UNIX workstation, use the file that the printer supports.

Using the Installation Shell Script

The installation shell script helps with the setup process. The installation shell script automates some of the tasks in configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap, and in creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX, and in running lpadmin command for System V UNIX.

Preparation

The installation shell script can be used on the following three kinds of the workstations. Do not use this installation shell script with other types of workstations.

•Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8

•HP-UX 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.0

•Red Hat Linux 6.2

When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should con- figure the server before running this installation shell script.

For more information about the configuration utility of your OS, see the man- ual that came with the utility.

Assigning the IP Address

Preparation

Configure the printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.

•Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol on the printer is set to be active. (The fac- tory default is active.)

•Assign an IP address to the printer and configure the other settings re- quired for using the TCP/IP protocol.

Reference

For more information about how to make above settings, see the Setup Guide that comes with the printer.
