Configuring IP address to the network interface card
Regardless of the printing mode selected, the network interface card must be given the IP address and
routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the network interface card in one of the following
ways:
- Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
- Use arp and ping capability.
- Use BOOTP (Internet Boot Protocol).
- Use reverse ARP (rarp) capability (Ethernet II frame type only).
- Use arp command, MAP (Management Access Program), or BOOTP Lite for Windows.
Note
You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or arp and ping procedures only when the network interface card is in
its default state (when no IP information has been entered).
Depending on the topology, you may need to provide the MAC address of the network interface card. The
MAC address is the 12-character code that is printed on the Status Page each time the image controller and
the main body printer is turned on.
After the network interface card has an IP address, you must use the MAP utility, or other dedicated utilities
(for Windows or Macintosh) to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
lpd UNIX Printing
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon that lets you print across a TCP/IP network
without the need to install software on your workstation, with all filtering and banners done by the network
interface card.
Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.
The process begins when the lpr call finds the printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry
in the /etc/printcap file for that printer.
lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote system
and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to the remote
system.
The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control
file and its own printcap file.
The network interface card lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulation and filters the data, if
possible, so it can be printed on the printer you specify.
You can indicate to the network interface card lpd what type of image controller it is attached to by either:
- Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or
- Changing the listed emulations via a standard IP based Web Browser.
The sections that follow give specific lpd setup instructions for various systems.
