Configuring Protocols
1
Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing
These instructions are for configuring the Network Interface Board and Windows 95/98/Me to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.
Configuring the machine
Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The default is active.)
• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP
protocol.
Reference
For more information about how to make the above settings, see the System
Settings.
If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see p.90 “When Using DHCP”.
Note
❒ After setting the IP address, use the ping command to make sure that it has
been set correctly.
Enable the use of the command prompt as follows:
A
• On Windows 95 or Windows 98
Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [Command Prompt].
• On Windows Me
Click [Start], point to [Programs], point to [Accessories], and then click
[Command Prompt].
Type the following: (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)
B
C:\> ping 192.168.15.16
If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.
Reply from 192.168.15.16 : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.
Request timed out.

Using SmartNetMonitor for Client
Using SmartNetMonitor for Client
SmartNetMonitor for Client is a utility that helps you to use network printers effectively. It is useful in environments where two or more network printers are
used. It is recommended that you install SmartNetMonitor for Client to use Parallel Printing and Recovery Printing. For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Client, see SmartNetMonitor for Client Help.
❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Client features
• Sends a print job directly to the network printers without using a print
server.
• Notifies when a printing error occurs.
• Prints documents using other printers in the printer group when the spec-
ified printer is busy (Recovery Printing).
• Equally divides the number of copies to be printed among the selected
printers in the printer group (Parallel Printing).
Important
❒ The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-
ers selected for Recovery Printing or Parallel Printing.
• Printer models (for Parallel Printing only)
1
• Installed options (e.g. Paper tray unit)
• Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray unit
• Total memory
• Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)
Note
❒ Failure to meet any of the conditions above may result in unexpected
print results.
Reference
For more information about installing SmartNetMonitor for Client, see the
Printer Unit Type 1027 Printer Reference 1.
Note
❒ Make sure to close all applications before beginning the installation process.
Installing SmartNetMonitor for Client may require the computer to be restarted.
