Network Printing
Network Connection
Theory
To connect your printer in a
TCP/IP network environment,
you must make sure that the
internal network addresses in
the printer have been set.
Network Connection6
Making the Connection
Ethernet Interface
An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this printer.
When connecting your printer to an Ethernet network, the tasks you perform
depend on how you plan to set the printer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address.
Since the IP address for each PC and printer on your network must be
unique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflict
with any other IP address or your network or any attached network. You can
do this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following
sections.
Using DHCP
Setting the address manually
Using DHCP
If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the
printer’s IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server when
you turn on the printer. (For a description of DHCP, see the Network Printing
section in the Phaser 6120 Reference Guide on the Software and
Documentation CD-ROM.)
" If your printer is not automatically assigned an IP address, verify that
DHCP is enabled on the printer (MENU > PRINTABLE PAGES
MENU > CONFIGURATION
MENU > CONNECTION SETUP > NETWORK SETUP >
the
TCP/IP > DHCP/BOOTP
1 Connect your printer to the network.
Using an Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet
interface port of the printer.
2 Turn on your PC and printer.
3 When the printer’s message window displays READY, install the printer
driver and utilities.
). If it is not enabled, you can enable it in
menu.
Network Connection

Setting the Address Manually
You may also manually change the printer’s IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway by using the following instructions. (For more information, see
Understanding the Ethernet Configuration Menus in the Phaser
Reference Guide on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM.)
" When the IP address is changed, add a new port or reinstall the
printer driver.
CAUTION
You should always notify the network administrator before changing the
printer’s IP address.
1 Turn on your PC and printer.
2 When the printer’s message window displays READY, set the IP address.
a Select Connection Setup, and then press the Menu/Select key.
b Select Network Setup, and then press the Menu/Select key.
c Select TCP/IP, and then press the Menu/Select key.
d Select IP Address, and then press the Menu/Select key.
e Use the Up and Down keys to select the IP Address.
f Use the Right and Left keys to move to the next set of numbers.
g Repeat Steps e and f until you have selected the entire IP Address.
3 If you do not need to set the subnet mask or gateway, go to step 5.
To set the subnet mask, but not the default router, go to step 8.
To set the default router, follow these steps.
a Select Default Router, and then press the Menu/Select key.
b Use the Up and Down keys to select the Default Router numbers.
c Use the Right and Left keys to move to the next set of numbers.
d Repeat Steps and b and c until you have selected the entire Default
Router number.

4 If you do not need to set the subnet mask, go to step 5.
To set the subnet mask, follow these steps.
a Select Subnet Mask, and then press the Menu/Select key.
b Use the Up and Down keys to select the Subnet Mask numbers.
c Use the Right and Left keys to move to the next set of numbers.
d Repeat Steps and b and c until you have selected the entire Subnet
Mask number.
5 Save your configuration changes and make the printer ready for printing
again.
6 Press the Up key until the menu displays READY.
7 Print a configuration page to verify that the correct IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway have been set.
a Select Printable Pages, and then press the Menu/Select key.
b Select Configuration, and then press the Menu/Select key.
c Press the Menu/Select key.
8 When the printer’s message window displays READY, install the printer
driver and utilities.

Network Printing
The Phaser 6120 printer supports the following network protocols:
BOOTP
DHCP
HTTP
IPP
LPD/LPR
SLP
SNMP
Port 9100
SMTP
This chapter defines each of these protocols and then explains how to print
via IPP.
BOOTP
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless
workstation to discover (1) its own IP address, (2) the IP address of a BOOTP
server on the network, and (3) a file that can be loaded into memory to boot
the workstation. This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard
or floppy disk drive.
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a
device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.
In some systems, the device’s IP address can even change while it is still
connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage
the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without
the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
Network Printing10
HTTP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol used by the
World Wide Web. It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted,
and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to
various commands. For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this
actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and
transmit the requested web page.
IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for end users’ most common
printing situations over the Internet. It allows users to find out about a printer’s
capabilities, submit print jobs to a printer, determine the status of the printer
or print job, and cancel a previously submitted print job.
LPD/LPR
LPD/LPR (Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Request) is a platformindependent printing protocol that runs over TCP/IP. Originally implemented
for BSD UNIX, its use has spread into the desktop world and is now an
industry standard.
SLP
Traditionally, in order to locate services on the network, users had to supply
the host name or network address of the machine providing the desired
service. This has created many administrative problems.
However, SLP (Service Location Protocol) simplifies the discovery and use of
network resources such as printers by automating a number of network
services. It provides a framework that allows networking applications to
discover the existence, location, and configuration of networked services.
With SLP users no longer need to know the names of network hosts. Instead,
they need to know only the description of the service they are interested in.
Based on this description, SLP is able to return the URL of the desired
service.
Network Printing
11
Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast
SLP is a unicast and a multicast protocol. This means that messages can be
sent to one agent at a time (unicast) or to all agents (that are listening) at the
same time (multicast). However, a multicast is not a broadcast. In theory,
broadcast messages are "heard" by every node on the network. Multicast
differs from broadcast because multicast messages are only "heard" by the
nodes on the network that have "joined the multicast group."
For obvious reasons network routers filter almost all broadcast traffic. This
means that broadcasts that are generated on one subnet will not be "routed"
or forwarded to any of the other subnets connected to the router (from the
router’s perspective, a subnet is all machines connected to one of its ports).
Multicasts, on the other hand, are forwarded by routers. Multicast traffic from
a given group is forwarded by routers to all subnets that have at least one
machine that is interested in receiving the multicast for that group.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a set of protocols for
managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages to different
parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about
themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to
the SNMP requesters.
Port 9100
When printing through a network, TCP/IP port number 9100 can be used to
send raw data.
SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for sending email.
This protocol was originally used to send email between servers; however,
currently client email software uses it to send email to servers using POP.
