Xante 3 Series Line Printer Configuration, Configure the Line Printer Interface, TCP/IP Addresses

Line Printer Configuration

The Ethernet interface’s Line Printer option allows you to configure your printer to communicate using TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). TCP/IP provides a method of communication between different types of networks. It is the Internet’s basis for data transmission and is becoming more widely used on all types of computers and operating systems.

The following steps are required to set up your printer to		communicate
using the Line Printer interface on the Ethernet board. C		hapter 2
covers step 1; this section covers steps 2 through 4.
1.	Connect your XANTÉ printer to the network through the
	Ethernet port.
2.	Configure the Line Printer interface on your printer.
3.	Set the TCP/IP address of the printer.
4.	Configure the Printer setup on the network.

Configure the Line Printer Interface

Use printer front panel menus or XANTÉ Command Center

(Macintosh) to enable your printer’s Line Printer interface, if necessary. See chapter 6 to use front panel menus. See “Set the TCP/IP

Address” later in this section to use Command Center.

TCP/IP Addresses

Every workstation that communicates via TCP/IP is assigned a unique 32 bit address. The convention for expressing a TCP/IP address is to convert each octet of the address to a decimal number separated from the other octets by a decimal point. The default TCP/IP address for all XANTÉ printers is 192.9.200.201.
