The following steps are required to set up your printer to communicate
using the Line Printer interface on the Ethernet board. Chapter 2
covers step 1; this section covers steps 2 through 4.
1.
Connect your XANTÉ printer to the network through the
Ethernet port.
2.
Configure the Line Printer interface on your printer.
3.
Set the TCP/IP address of the printer.
4.
Configure the Printer setup on the network.
Configure the Line Printer Interface
Use printer front panel menus or XANTÉ Command Center
(Macintosh) to enable your printer's Line Printer interface, if
necessary. See chapter 6 to use front panel menus. See "Setting the
TCP/IP Address" later in this section to use Command Center.
TCP/IP Addresses
Every workstation that communicates via TCP/IP is assigned a
unique 32 bit address. The convention for expressing a TCP/IP
address is to convert each octet of the address to a decimal number
separated from the other octets by a decimal point. The default
TCP/IP address for all XANTÉ printers is 192.9.200.201.
TCP/IP addresses are divided into classes based on the network's
size. The TCP/IP address assigned depends on the class and includes
the network ID and the host (individual computer or peripheral) ID.
