TCP/IP Requirements for Windows
Configuration
TCP/IP is required for Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows for Workgroups, if you want to access and use the
Network Administration Page to view printer status and
manage network printers. TCP/IP is also required to operate
the printer in an IP protocol network (such as for peer-to-peer
printing). TCP/IP setup for Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT 4.0 is explained on page 65.
Network Configuration Options
Windows 95/98
•
If you have a NetWare network, see page 69 for
NetWare 4.x and 5.x setup, or page 71 for Netware 3.x
setup.
•
If you have no network server, you can print directly to
the network printer using the peer-to-peer software
provided on the SuperScript 4200N CD. See page 66.
•
You can also set up shared printing (see page 67).
Windows NT 4.0
•
If you have a NetWare network, see page 69 for
NetWare 4.x setup, or page 71 for Netware 3.x setup.
•
In a Windows NT network you can use lpr printing. See
page 67.
Windows for Workgroups
•
If you have a NetWare network, see page 69 for
NetWare 4.x setup, or page 71 for Netware 3.x setup. You
can also use shared printing.
TCP/IP Setup in Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT 4.0
Installing the TCP/IP Protocol Stack
1. In Windows, open the Network control panel.
2.
If TCP/IP Protocol is not installed, add it, and configure
the workstation's TCP/IP settings.
3.
Restart. The new protocols and services will not be
available until the system is restarted.
Assign the IP Address and Other TCP/IP Parameters to
the 4200N
If you have a DHCP server, the 4200N will retrieve an IP
address automatically from the network server when you
turn on the printer. Here we provide instructions for using
BOOTPL32 to set the IP address manually. You can also use
ARP/ping commands if you prefer.
note:
For other ways to set the IP address, see page 61.
1.
Insert the SuperScript 4200N CD.
2.
Launch BOOTPL32, or move to the <CDROM
drive>:\bootp then double click on bootpl32.exe .
3.
Select Configure from the Admin menu.
a. Enter the IP address to assign to the 4200N.
b. Enter the subnet mask.
c. Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or
leave blank.
d. Enter the hardware address of the 4200N. This
address is listed on the Network Settings page under
Network Address, for example,
00:40:af:c9:f0:d8. Enter it exactly as it appears
on the Network Settings page.
4. Click on Go to send the new settings to the 4200N.
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but
possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the
4200N will reset and print its Network Settings page. The
new IP settings will be listed in the TCP/IP Network
Information section of the Network Settings page.
If the new IP address does not appear on the Network
Settings page under "Protocol Address," you may have
entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTPL32.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the new
Network Settings page.
The new IP address can also be verified in BootPL32 by
turning the printer off, wait 10 seconds, then turning it on
and selecting Verify from the Admin menu. It should report
that the Unit is Active .
