Configuring your machine for a network

Overview

Before using your Océ machine in a network environment, you must install the Océ software and also
configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. In this chapter, you will learn the
basic steps required to print over the network using TCP/IP protocol.
We recommend that you use the Océ installer on the Océ CD-ROM to install the Océ software as this will
guide you through the software and network installation. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick
Setup Guide.
Note
If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the Océ installer or any of Océ's software tools, you can also
use the machine's control panel to change network settings.
For more information, see Control panel setup on page 88.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways

To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the IP address and subnet
mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host
computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.

IP address

An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to a network. An IP address
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.1.2
• 192.168.1.3
