8.1.4. Menu Options

8.1.4.1. InitDevice menu

Reset device

This will reboot the FastPrint. You should do this after making any configuration
changes, or if the FastPrint Server stops responding after some problem.

Restore factory default

This will restore all FastPrint values to their factory defaults. To restore only the
current screen, use the Set to Default button on the screen.

Set IP address

Use this to set a FastPrint IP address, gateway IP address, and network mask for a
TCP/IP network.

You must enter the default FastPrint Server name, even if you have changed the
name. See IP address configuration on page 23 for configuration details.

Save the data to the FastPrint Server and reset it.

If you want the main screen listing to reflect the new data, you must refresh the
listing. Since the Refresh operation is fairly time-consuming, FPSAdmin won’t
run it automatically. This lets you make several changes at once, before refreshing
all of them.

Attach remote

This is used to connect to a FastPrint Server on another LAN segment. Enter the
IP address of the remote FastPrint Server. The Gateway (router) address must be
set correctly.

Connected protocol

This option allows you to designate which LAN protocol will be used for
communication between the selected FastPrint and this application. You should
only select one protocol.

You may choose any protocol that is installed on your PC, even if it is not
installed on the LAN.

8.1.4.2. Configuration menu

System

Use this option to change the FastPrint name, and to set the LAN protocol(s)
supported by the FastPrint. The protocol used by your LAN (which is also the
Connected protocol described above) should be enabled. To improve
performance, any other protocols should be disabled.
