5.4 Network services

The Ethernet option provides the following services:

Print server

Web server

Note: Other services include a Ping client, address assignment, and printer discovery.
5.4.1 Print server
The print server provides printing services via the local area network (LAN) to the client PC (in the same way
as a printer connected directly to a USB interface). The print server must be properly configured to provide
this printing capability.
The print server can queue up to eight client PCs while printing. Communications between each PC and
the printer are implemented over a bi-directional TCP/IP interface.
All clients are able to send print jobs to the printer and monitor printer jobs and errors with the
standard Windows printing system using the printer driver installed on their local PC.
Therefore you know whether or not a print job has been successful, as well any problems that have been
encountered while processing the print job.
5.4.2 Web server
An HTTP service serves web pages that are the interface through which to configure the printer.
The printer operates as a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to allow a network
administrator to support the network interface of the printer.
Note: A standard host MIB-II is implemented to maximize the utility of the printer on the network.
5.5 Ethernet web pages
Use the Ethernet web pages from your Ethernet-connected printer to view attributes about the printer. To
alter settings of the printer, you must have administrative rights confirmed by entering a valid user name and
password.
