Precautions and Limitations

On Using TCP/IP

This section explains the precautions and limitations of using this printer with TCP/IP.

Setting Up

Setting Up the Printer
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an entire system.
Consult your network administrator before performing any setup on IP addresses.
• Depending on the network environments, some require subnet mask and gateway to be
set up. Consult your network administrator and set up the necessary items.
• If setting the port to [Enable] leads to insufficient memory, a message to that effect will be
displayed on the printer control panel and the port status may be set to [Disable]
automatically. If this happens, set the ports which are not in use to [Disable], change the
memory size or add more memory.
• Set up the size for the receive buffer memory as required by the environment.
If the size of the receive buffer memory is smaller than the file data to be received, data
will not be received.
Setting Up the Computer
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an entire system.
Consult your network administrator before performing any setup on IP addresses.
• Before performing any network setup (such as the IP address) to a host running under
NIS (Network Information Service), consult the NIS administrator.
When setting a UNIX workstation, note the following also:
• The setup procedures and commands may vary according to different versions of OS.
Refer to the manuals that came with the workstation for the details.
• To setup the printer, the user must be a superuser. Contact your network administrator
to perform the setup if you do not have the authority of a superuser.
• The print language/mode is determined by the printer model and configuration. Before
setting a UNIX workstation, check the available languages/modes.
• To specify multiple entries for the logical printer, make sure each printer entry is assigned
its own unique spool directory. If a single spool directory is used for multiple printer
entries, the printer select option may not function correctly.
