Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters

Supported BOOTP/DHCP fields
The printer recognizes the BOOTP/DHCP fields listed in the following table.
Setting IP parameters: PostScript utility file (UNIX only)
Use the config-IP script to create a PostScript file that sets the printer’s IP
addressing parameters. The config-IP script is provided with your printer’s
network utilities software.
■ The output of the script is PostScript code, which you must send to the
printer. When you run the script, redirect the output to a file. Then
send the file to the printer.
■ The script prompts you to provide certain information. For information
about these prompts, see the next table “IP parameters”.
The advantage of this method is that each printer has a permanent setup stored
in memory and is not dependent on a boot server for boot information. The
disadvantage is that you must configure each printer individually.
