Basic Network Installation
Information Checklist
Before starting the basic network installation procedures, please ensure the following items are available or have been performed:
|
Item |
By |
|
|
|
|
|
|
An existing operational network utilizing TCP/IP is required, these |
Customer |
|
procedures are not designed to install a network. |
|
|
|
|
|
A suitable network cable. |
Customer |
|
|
|
|
If you are going to configure TCP/IP manually, you need to obtain and |
Customer |
|
record the following information: |
|
|
• |
TCP/IP Address: |
|
• |
Gateway Address: |
|
• |
Subnet Mask Address: |
|
Refer to the Glossary for additional information on the Gateway |
|
|
Address, Subnet Mask Address , if needed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Test the Aficio BP20N to ensure it is installed fully and functioning |
Customer |
|
correctly. |
|
|
|
|
|
Aficio BP20N print drivers. |
Supplier |
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: Do not connect the network cable to the Aficio BP20N until instructed to do so.

Administratior Guide |
Basic TCP/IP Settings
Before the printer can be used on the network, the TCP/IP addresses need to be entered. These can be entered automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) or entered manually. To enter the addresses manually, you need to obtain the following:
¾TCP/IP Address
¾Gateway Address
¾Subnet Mask Address
Set IP utility is able to configure these information. If using Set IP utility, you can discover BP20N and change basic TCP/IP settings. For more information, you can see User’s Guide on page 2.32~2.34.

Test Print
|
To ensure the Aficio BP20N has been installed on the network correctly a test print should be |
|
|
submitted from a client workstation. Perform the following steps: |
|
1 |
¾ Open a document on a client workstation. |
|
2 |
¾ Select the Aficio BP20N as the printer for sending documents to. |
|
3 |
¾ Print the document on the device and verify that it prints correctly. |
|
4 |
¾ Ensure the print driver is installed on every workstation that will be sending jobs to the |
|
device. |
||
|
||
5 |
¾ Repeat the test for all workstations that will be sending jobs to the device. |
