7 TCP/IP Printer Configuration (All Platforms)

IP parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

Use RARP

Yes/no. Specifies whether the printer should get its IP

 

address from a RARP response at power-up. The

 

default is yes. Answer no for a printer-based

 

configuration; this prevents RARP packets from

 

appearing on the network when the printer is turned on

 

or reset.

 

 

Use BOOTP/DHCP

Yes/no. Specifies whether the printer should get its IP

 

address from a BOOTP or DHCP response at power-up.

 

The default is yes. Answer no for a printer-based

 

configuration; this prevents BOOTP or DHCP packets

 

from appearing on the network when the printer is

 

turned on or reset.

 

 

IP address

The printer’s address on the network. The format is

 

x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from

 

0 - 255. The value entered must be a valid IP address

 

and not 0.0.0.0, 255.0.0.0, any address starting with

 

127, or any address ending with 255.

 

 

Network mask

Needed in networks that use sub-netting. If you are not

 

using sub-netting, leave this blank; the printer will

 

choose an appropriate mask. The format is x.x.x.x,

 

where x represents a decimal number from

 

0 - 255.

 

 

Broadcast address

The address the printer uses to send broadcast packets.

 

The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal

 

number from 0 - 255. If you are unsure, leave this blank;

 

the printer will choose an appropriate address.

 

 

Default gateway (router)

The address the printer uses to communicate with

 

devices not on the same network segment. The format

 

is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from

 

0 - 255.

 

 

1.Connect the printer to the network. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requires that the printer be connected on the same physical network segment as the host.

2.Run the script config-IP:

a.Change (cd) to the bin subdirectory in the directory where you placed your printer’s network utilities.

b.Type the name of the script, redirecting the output to a file. Type: config-IP > filename

3.When prompted by the script, enter the information.

N O T E

The script accepts IP addresses that have empty fields (for example, 123..40.10). The script does not detect this error. Double-check the IP addresses you enter.

840, 780, 360 specifications

Xerox has long been a pioneer in the field of printing and copying technology, and its 360, 780, and 840 models exemplify the groundbreaking advancements made by the company in the late 20th century. These machines are significant not just for their capabilities but also for how they transformed workplaces into efficient hubs for document management.

The Xerox 360, introduced in the 1970s, was notable for its innovative use of electrostatic transfer technology. This method allowed for the rapid and high-quality reproduction of documents, setting a new standard for both speed and clarity. With a printing speed of up to 120 copies per minute, the 360 was designed for high-volume environments, making it ideal for businesses that required efficient document distribution. Its ability to handle different media types, including transparencies, further expanded its utility.

Moving on to the Xerox 780, released shortly after the 360, this model built upon its predecessor's success by introducing additional features that catered to the evolving needs of users. One of the key advancements in the 780 was its ability to incorporate advanced finishing options, such as stapling and hole-punching, directly from the machine. This integration streamlined document production processes, reducing the need for manual tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency. The Xerox 780’s intelligent control panel also provided users with easy navigation and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

The Xerox 840 took another leap forward, focusing on integrating digital technology into the printing process. Introduced in the early 1980s, this model featured enhanced digital image processing capabilities, resulting in superior image quality and consistency. The 840 also supported duplex printing, allowing for automatic double-sided copies, which not only saved paper but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability practices as environmental concerns began to rise. The combination of these features made the 840 particularly well-suited for corporate environments where document quality and efficiency were paramount.

Overall, the Xerox 360, 780, and 840 series were landmark achievements in photocopying technology. Their advanced features, such as high-speed output, diverse media handling, and enhanced finishing options, established Xerox as a leader in the industry. These machines not only improved productivity but also set a precedent for future innovations, influencing the trajectory of printing technology for years to come. As businesses continue to evolve, the foundational technologies pioneered by these models remain integral to modern document management solutions.
