DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS

Network settings

These programs are set when this product is used as a network printer.

After you complete the setting for one program, you must exit the key operator programs, turn off the main switch, wait briefly, and then turn on the main switch again before any other programs can be set. The program that was set will be effective after the power is turned on.

NOTE

For setting and modification of "Network settings", be sure to consult with the network administrator.

Reset the NIC

This program is used to reset all setting items of NIC (Network Interface Card) of this product to the factory default settings.

NOTE

If any of the [NETWORK SETTINGS] were changed prior to execution of this program, you must turn off the power switch after exiting the key operator program, wait briefly, and then turn on the power switch to make the factory default settings take effect.

IP address setting

When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP protocol, use this program to set the IP address (IP address, IP subnet mask, and IP gateway) of this product. The program is set to ENABLE DHCP by factory default setting, which obtains the IP address setting automatically. When using this product on a TCP/IP network, be sure to turn on the "Enable TCP/ IP" program below.

If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may be changed automatically on occasion. If this happens, printing will not be possible.

Enable TCP/IP

When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP protocol, set this program. Also set the IP address using the program "IP address setting" above. Default setting: Enable

Enable NetWare

Default setting: Enable

Enable EtherTalk

When using this product in a network that uses the EtherTalk protocol, set this program.

Enable NetBEUI

When using this product in a network that uses the NetBEUI protocol, set this program.

Default setting: Enable

Tandem setting

This setting is used to configure the IP address and port number of the client printer when you wish to have two machines (which are used as TCP/IP network printers) print in tandem.

Tandem printing is not possible if the other machine is a different model than your machine.

The factory default setting for the port number is [50001]. Unless you experience difficulty with this setting, it does not need to be changed.

The tandem function can also be prohibited, or the reception of tandem data from the other machine can be prohibited. (Normally this is not necessary.)

To prohibit the tandem function, select "DISABLING OF MASTER MACHINE MODE".

To prohibit reception of tandem data from the other machine, select "DISABLING OF SLAVE MACHINE MODE".

NOTE

To use the tandem function when auditing mode is enabled, the same account number must be entered on both machines. If the same account number is not entered, only the server machine may print or the printed pages may not be added to the correct account.

PING command

This program is used to check if the machine and a computer connected to the network can communicate. Enter the IP address of the computer that you wish to check and touch the [START] key. A message will appear indicating whether or not there was a response from the computer.
