Operating system configuration
This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX
operating systems.
Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration
The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and a C7300V2 printer

method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation
manuals for more information.
If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the

Register the IP address of the network card and the host name
in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and host name c7300v2
192.168.20.127 c7300v2
3.
Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network

Example: for host name c7300v2
# ping c7300v2

the IP address (the IP address has already been set manually or
