Ethernet Setup

Because the Print Server makes IP requests at power-up, before making a network
connection to the printer consider how your IP Addressing needs to be assigned.


IP Addressing of the Internal Ethernet Print Server can be configured two ways:

Using a static IP Address; or,

Using IP Discovery (DHCP, BootP, or RARP).


Proceed according to the desired addressing method:

At factory default settings, IP DISCOVERY is DISABLED.


Configuration Using a Static IP Address

Assign a static IP Address by following the steps below:

A. Without connecting the Ethernet cable, turn ON the printer.

B. Press the MENU Button then scroll to COMMUNICATIONS / NIC ADAPTER / IP

ADDRESS.

For access to all functions, ensure that the Advanced Menu is selected: Press

System Settings select Menu Mode and then Advanced Menu.

C. Use the UP and DOWN Buttons to increment or decrement each numeric value, and

use the RIGHT button to move to the cursor to the next digit. After all fields have
been input, press ENTER.


D. Scroll to SUBNET MASK and set that address (see Step C, above).


E. Scroll to GATEWAY and set that address (see Step C, above).

F. If needed, set your SNMPTRAP DESTINATION address (see Step C, above, or use the

HTML pages, see Appendix G).


G. After entering the addresses, press EXIT and save your changes when prompted.

H. Turn OFF the printer and connect the Ethernet cable. Turn ON the printer and then

install the port and printer driver using the Windows

“Add a Printer Wizard” and

Driver and Port Setup (see Appendix H).
