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.

shooting
Requirements
Troubleshooting for the Windows-based PC consists of both hardware and software procedures.
The steps in each of these procedures should eliminate cabling, communication, and connection problems associated with direct-connected ports.
Complete one of these procedures (based on the type of port being used), then run a test print from your software application. If the job prints, no further system troubleshooting will be necessary.
For problems with the appearance of your document, once it has printed, consult the Troubleshooting chapter of the DP System Administrator Guide.
You are operating a Windows-based system with the CentreWare DP software and at least one print driver installed.
You are a NetWare Network Administrator OR administrative person with ADMIN/SUPER VISOR or ADMIN/SUPERVISOR EQUIVALENT login rights to the NetWare Server(s) servicing the DP printer.
The instructions for these troubleshooting tasks assume a base knowledge of NetWare.

Verify that the client is logged into the network and printing to the
3
correct print queue. Also verify that the user has access to the DP printer queue.
Verify that the DP NetWare print queu e exists, is accepting jobs,
4
and has a Print Server attached. If not, try using Quick Setup in CentreWare DP to reconfigure the print queue. Reset the printer.
Print out a Configuration Sheet. Verify that Printer Server is

Quick Check
Troubleshooting for the Windows-based PC is comprised of a set of procedures for each Windows version.
The steps in these procedures should eliminate cabling, communication, and connection problems.
Complete one set of procedures (based on your version of Windows), then run a test print from your software application. If the job prints, no further system troubleshooting will be necessary.
For problems with the appearance of your document, once it has printed, consult Chapter 6 of the DP System Admini strator Guide.
A Windo ws-based system with the CentreWare DP software and at least one print driver installed.
A basic operating knowledge of your Windows version.
Verify that the printer is plugged in, turned on, and connected to an
1
active network.
Verify that the print er is recei v ing netw o rk tr af f ic b y monitorin g the

Verify that the client is logged into the network and printing to the
3
correct print queue. Also verify that the user has access to the DP Printer Queue.
Verify that the DP NetWare print queu e exists, is accepting jobs,
4
and has a Print Server attached. If not, try using Quick Setup in CentreWare DP to reconfigure the print queue. Reset the printer.
Print out the Configuration Sheet. Verify that Printer Server is
