Precautions and Limitations
On Using TCP/IP
This section explains the precautions and limitations of using this
printer with TCP/IP.
Setting Up
Setting Up the Printer
> Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an
entire system. Consult your network administrator before performing
any setup on IP addresses.
> Depending on the network environments, some require subnet mask
and gateway to be set up. Consult your network administrator and
set up the necessary items.
Setting Up the Computer
> Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an
entire system. Consult your network administrator before performing
any setup on IP addresses.
> Before performing any network setup (such as the IP address) to a
host running under NIS (Network Information Service), consult the
NIS administrator.
When setting a UNIX workstation, note the following also:
> The setup procedures and commands may vary according to
different versions of OS. Refer to the manuals that came with the
workstation for the details.
> To setup the printer, the user must be a superuser. Contact your
network administrator to perform the setup if you do not have the
authority of a superuser.
> The print language/mode is determined by the printer model and
configuration. Before setting a UNIX workstation, check the available
languages/modes.
> To specify multiple entries for the logical printer, make sure each
printer entry is assigned its own unique spool directory. If a single
spool directory is used for multiple printer entries, the printer select
option may not function correctly.
