Getting the printer ready to fax

You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem. If problems occur, see “Setup troubleshooting” on page 101.

Note: The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall jack. Other devices (such as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the setup steps. If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is required.

You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line to send and receive faxes.

You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to set up the printer.

Dialing a fax number while behind a PBX

If the printer is being used in a business or office, it may be connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone system. Ordinarily, when dialing a fax number, the printer waits to recognize the dial tone and then dials the fax number. However, this method of dialing may not work if the PBX telephone system uses a dial tone that is not recognizable to most fax machines. The “Dialing while behind a PBX” feature enables the printer to dial the fax number without waiting to recognize the dial tone.

Networking the printer

Installing network printers

Installing a network printer allows users at different workstations to print to a common printer. Methods of setting up a network printer include:

• sharing a printer that is locally attached to a network computer

• a direct Ethernet connection through a print server

Shared printing

Installing software and sharing the printer on the network (on the host computer)

1 Connect the printer to a network computer using a USB cable.

If the Found New Hardware dialog appears, click Cancel.

2 Insert the printer software CD. 3 Click Install. 4 Click Continue. 5 Select Yes to share your printer. 6 Assign a shared printer name. 7 When prompted, select Test Page to make sure that the computer can print to the printer. 8 Follow the directions on the computer screen until installation is complete.

computer you want to access the shared printer.

a Go to a network computer that you want to

enable to print to the shared printer.

b Browse the Network Neighborhood until you

find the name of the shared printer assigned in step 6 on page 90.

c Right-click the printer icon, and select Open

or Connect.

d This will copy a subset of the printer software

from the host computer. A printer object will be created in the Printers folder of the client.

e When prompted, select Test Page to make

sure the computer can print to the shared printer.

Direct IP printing

1 Connect the printer to an external print server using a USB cable. 2 Connect the print sever to the network using an Ethernet cable.

Note: You may be connecting your printer directly into a wall connection or through a router. For more

information, see the print server documentation.

3 Insert the printer software CD. 4 Click Install. 5 From the “Connect Your Printer” dialog, select the network option. 6 From the “Networking Setup” dialog, select Direct Network Attached. 7 Select the printer/print server combination from the Network Printers list.

Note: If more than one is listed, match the MAC address of the print server to the one in the list. For

more information, see “Finding your MAC address” on page 92.

Page 92

Tips for installing a network printer

The following topics will help you install, configure, and troubleshoot the network printer.

Assigning an IP address

An IP address is assigned during printer software installation, but only for Direct IP printing. The print object, created at the end of the installation, sends all print jobs across the network to the printer attached to the print server using this address.

Many networks have the ability to automatically assign an IP address. In smaller networks, it is often called Auto-IP. There are two common types of Auto-IP networks. UPnP network environments provide automatic private IP addresses in the 169.254.x.x range. ICS network environments provide automatic private IP addresses in the 192.168.x.x range. Larger networks may use DHCP to assign addresses. These are usually unique to the company.

During the Direct IP printing installation of printer software, the IP address is visible in the printer list only as it is being assigned. The print object that is created in the Printers folder of the operating system will reference the MAC address of the print server in the port name.

If the IP address is not automatically assigned during printer software installation, you can try manually entering an address after selecting your printer/print server from the available list.

Finding your MAC address

You may need the media access control (MAC) address of the print server to complete network printer configuration. The MAC address is a series of letters and numbers listed on the bottom of the external print server.

Configuring a network printer manually

1 From the “Configure Network Printers” dialog, highlight the printer you want to configure, and then

click Configure.

2 Select DHCP or Configure IP Address Manually. 3 Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the printer. 4 Click OK.

Finding a printer/print server located on remote subnets

The printer software CD can automatically find the printers that are located on the same network as the computer. If the printer and print server are located on another network (called a subnet), you must manually enter an IP address during printer software installation.

Network troubleshooting tips

1 Make sure the printer is set up correctly. For more information, see the printer setup documentation. 2 Make sure all cable connections are secure. For more information, see the printer or print server setup

documentation.

Page 93

3 Make sure the correct lights are showing on the print server. For more information, see the print server

documentation.

4 If the printer software CD cannot find the printer/print server, wait a few minutes, and then try running

the CD again. Network traffic speeds vary.

5 Make sure the computer you are using to install the printer is connected to the network. 6 See the print server documentation for additional troubleshooting.
