When configuring the printer using TCP/IP utilities, you must first configure the basic TCP/IP settings either on the printer control panel, with Tally’s NetPilot, or with one of the methods outlined below. Configuring TCP/IP allows you to later use the Web interface, Telnet, or FTP interface to configure the rest of the printer’s network settings.
Appendix E Network Management contents of the ARP table with arp -a. On a UNIX workstation, use the command: arp -s host-name ethernet-address temp The example below shows how to set the IP address of a printer named PS90d6a1 to 192.168.1.191. arp -s PS90d6a1 192.168.1.191 temp Once the address is set, ping the IP address of the printer to confirm the configuration.
Tally T8006/T8306 Color Laser Printer User Guide Activate the BOOTP daemon (usually bootpd). The printer will not use the new configuration until the printer is restarted. Note: The “ha” field is a network interface Ethernet address. The “ip” field is an IP address. The “gw” field and “sm” field correspond to the default router address and net mask (DEF_ROUT and NET_MASK parameters), respectively.
The Help page contains additional information about configuring the printer through the Web server. Configuring the Printer Using Telnet The Tally T8006 and T8306 have built-in commands that can be executed via Telnet. Using the Windows Telnet utility (C:\Windows\telnet) or Unix terminal, you can log on to the printer.

The MIB file is distributed on the T8006/T8306 CD-ROM and is downloadable from the printer through FTP. The printer’s stored MIB file is described in ASN.1 format. To upgrade the printer with a newer Tally MIB file, use FTP to replace the older file.
The trap object returns various error messages to the SNMP manager. For details of MIB, refer to the MIB file (Tally.mib) by using any text editor. Using Logical Printers Logical Printers allows your printer to automatically filter print data in various ways by simply selecting a logical printer to print to.
Appendix E Network Management For example, some PostScript drivers do not suffix the code (0x04), indicating the end of a job, to the print job. In this case, edit the following entry: PR1_AFT.:04 PRI_AFT.:04 Replacing Character Strings Replacement of up to 20 sets of character strings can be specified for each logical printer.
