Description Of Configuration Process - NEC Silentwriter 1765 Configuration Manual

Description of Configuration Process

Although the protocols and requirements of each
network and operating system differ, generally each
section tells you how to
Verify installation of printer and NEC 1765 software:
Each network uses a different combination of
printer and NEC 1765 software. Before configuring
your Silentwriter, make sure you've installed all
necessary software.
Create a unique name or address for the printer: Each
printer on the network must have a unique
identifier or name. NetWare and AppleTalk
networks use a printer name. TCP/IP networks rely
on an IP address for unique identification. DLC
networks use the MAC address. The configuration
page includes this information. An example
configuration page is shown on page 2-13.
Establish the printer on the network and define a print
queue: The queue manages documents arriving
from different sources to ensure that documents
from all users are printed efficiently.
