NIC IP CONFIGURATION
I
NTRODUCTION
To take advantage of the many Xpress network features, you
must assign an IP address to the printer's network interface
card (NIC). This chapter explains several ways of assigning
an IP address.
Obtaining the Printer's IP Address
Determine the printer's IP Address or obtain it from your
network administrator. This step is not necessary for Mac OS
users or if you have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See page 14 for more information about
DHCP.
Selecting an IP Address Assignment Method
If a DHCP server is not present, use the Network Printer
Manager (NPM) to assign an IP address to your printer's
NIC. There are several ways to do this:
• Static (manual configuration)
• DHCP
• BOOTP
• RARP
A
SSIGNING THE
NPM
The Network Printer Manager (NPM) is an administrative
tool that can also be used for assigning the IP Address and
configuring the NIC.
The NPM must be installed on a computer running
Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, or NT 4.0 that is connected to the
network. For more information about NPM, see page 35 of
Chapter 8.
1. Click the Windows Start button, select Programs, then
Tally Network Printer Manager folder, and click
Network Printer Manager icon to start the Tally
Network Printer Manager.
Once NPM starts, it will begin searching the network for
the printer. Every Xpress T9412i(n) printer found will be
listed in the NPM main window.
