Requirements
The purpose of this Technical Information Guide (TIG) is to serve
the informational needs of System Administrators with a reference
providing the platform-specific information necessary during the
DP network setup and configuration. Software-related information
is organized by platform-specific chapters.
The purpose of this introductory section is to give a brief overview
of the network installation process, and to provide a guide to the
information contained in this Technical Information Guide (TIG).
Using the information contained in this document, System
Administrators will be able to connect the DP print er to their
network, configure the printer for optimum printing performance,
and troubleshoot printing problems.
To correctly install and configure your printer based on the
information in this document you will need:
• A DP Nxx printer.
• A Windows, Macintosh, UNIX or OS/2 workstation with
appropriate operating system software installed.
• A working knowledge of your operating system and your
network topology.
• All references to a DP printer apply to the DP N24, N32 and
N40 printers .
• In this manual there are many examples utilizing Ethernet.
These same examples apply to Token Ring if that option is
installed.

Organization
The purpose of this Connection & Setup chapter is to outline the
physical connection and configuration of your DP printer for use on
a network. This task would ordinarily be performed by an
experienced System Administrator.
The objective of this chapter is to enable you to:
• Identify the overall steps to physically connect and configure
your printer to work with your network.
• Connect network cabling to your printer.
In general, the requirements needed for printer connection and
setup include:
• Appropriate cabling to link the printer to your network.
• A working knowledge of your network cabling scheme (for
example, coaxial cable; shielded or unshielded twisted pair;
RJ45 or DB9 connection).
This chapter contains the following sections:
•
“Quick Steps For Connection & Setup”
experienced System Administrator with enough information to
quickly connect the prin t e r to the network.
•

Set An IP Address
Set An IP Address
Your DP printer can be set up on a variety of TCP/IP networks.
There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a
TCP/IP address depending on your network.
• Static Addressing
TCP/IP address is a ssigned ma nually by the System Ad ministrator
and entered at the printer’s Control Panel.
• Dynamic Addressing RARP/BOOTP
TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
• Dynamic Addressing DHCP (Dynamic Host Resolution
Protocol)
TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
This section contains procedures for each of these methods.
Determine which method will be used for your network and follow
the steps of the appropriate procedure.
The following examples refer to Ethernet but are also applicable to
Token Ring if you have that option.

It is important to print a Configuration Sheet from the printer to
determine the printer’s total memory, current network settings, and
all current printer settings, for proper set up of the printer on the
network. This information is used to verify port settings, verify
address, verify enabled printer o ption s, check the print server name
in the case of a Novell network, and to verify the AppleTalk name
or zone if used in an AppleTalk network. The de fault settings will
enable all ports, which will be suitable for most applications .
Obtain the current settings by printing the Configuration Sheet from
