TCP/IP


Print servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP
address running the lpd, line printer daemon, protocol. As a result, any host computer
that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to print servers
without the need for any special software on the host computer. For special
applications, raw TCP ports are also available.

The print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of
setup. The only mandatory configuration the print server is the allocation of an IP
address, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, or manually
assigned using the BRAdmin, the printer control panel, etc.

Refer to the printer User's Guide "1.2 Configuring the Printer on a Network" about
how to configure IP address information using the printer control panel.
