Mobile Printer CPCLProgramming Manual P14-39
ip.bootp.enable
type: getvar; setvar
This parameter will turn BOOTP on or off. BOOTP is a
method for acquiring an IP address, netmask, and gate-
way automatically on printer power-up. It requires a
BOOTP server on the local network.
If you are using static ip addressing, BOOTP must be
"off".
NOTE: It is not recommended that BOOTP and DHCP both be enabled at the
same time since this may increase the printer power-up initialization time. If
both BOOTP and DHCP are enabled at the same time, the printer will first try
BOOTP and if it does not receive a response after several seconds, it will then
try DHCP. You should contact your network administrator to determine
whether your network supports either BOOTP or DHCP and enable only the
proper parameter on the printer.
