Network Connectivity Problems

Problem Description
The many variables within a network environment make installing an integrated device challeng-
ing. The easiest environment in which to install the controller is over TCP/IP using a DHCP
server to dynamically assign and resolve IP addresses between devices.
Using default configuration settings also assures an easier implementation. However, you may
be required to customize the settings to accommodate your particular environment.
Some common network configuration options are shown below, along with the steps required to
configure this equipment. If you perform all the steps in the applicable checklist and still cannot
print satisfactorily to this equipment, contact your authorized dealer for further assistance.
