  • Page 11: Network Connection

    Theory To connect your printer in a TCP/IP network environment, you must make sure that the internal network addresses in the printer have been set. & ' In many cases, you have to enter only a unique IP address. However, you may also have to enter a subnet mask and/or a gateway (router) address,...

  • Page 12: Using Dhcp

    IP Address—A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network. Subnet Mask—A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. Gateway—A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. Since the IP address for each PC and printer on your network must be unique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflict with any other IP address or your network or any attached network.
  • Page 13 If you’re not using DHCP, the Documentation and Utilities CD-ROM’s AutoInstaller provides a way to set the printer’s IP address. Caution You should always notify your network’s administrator before changing the printer’s IP address. Connect your printer to the network. Attach your printer to the network by plugging the network RJ45 connec- tor into the RJ45 receptacle on the interface panel of your printer.

    The magicolor 2300 DL supports the following network protocols: BOOTP DHCP HTTP LPD/LPR SNMP TCP/IP This chapter defines each of these protocols and then explains how to print via IPP. BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol), an Internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.

  • Page 59: Ipp

    IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for end users’ most common printing situations over the Internet. It allows users to find out about a printer’s capabilities, submit print jobs to a printer, find out the status of the printer or print job, and cancel a previously submitted print job.

  • Page 60: Snmp

    For obvious reasons network routers filter almost all broadcast traffic. This means that broadcasts that are generated on one subnet will not be “routed” or forwarded to any of the other subnets connected to the router (from the router’s perspective, a subnet is all machines connected to one of its ports). Multicasts, on the other hand, are forwarded by routers.

  • Page 61: Printing Via Ipp (Internet Printing Protocol)

    Windows XP/2000 Adding an IPP Port There are two ways to add an IPP port under Windows XP/2000: Using SETUP.EXE or using the Add Printer wizard. Using SETUP.EXE You automatically access SETUP.EXE through the AutoInstaller or by locating and then double-clicking on the SETUP.EXE filename. Both the AutoInstaller and SETUP.EXE are located on the Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM.
