Introduction

Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.

You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer.

Via network administration programs

You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the printer via the following programs that came with your printer:

•CentreWare IS: A web server embedded in your network printer, which allows you to remotely configure the printer settings and network parameters necessary for the printer to be connected to various network environments.

•SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select your network printer and manually configure the printer's TCP/IP addresses.

Via the control panel

You can set up the following basic network parameters through the printer’s control panel:

•Configure TCP/IP

•Configure EtherTalk, 802.1x, and CentreWare IS
