Conﬁguring the Splash RPX-i for TCP/IP and LPR printing

This section describes how to conﬁgure the Splash RPX-i to receive print jobs from a TCP/IP or LPR network.

To conﬁgure the Splash RPX-i and users’ computers for TCP/IP printing, complete the following procedures:

• Connect the Splash RPX-i to the TCP/IP network.

• Conﬁgure the Splash RPX-i for the TCP/IP network.

•Enable TCP/IP printing.

• Conﬁgure users’ computers for TCP/IP printing.

Connecting the Splash RPX-i for the TCP/IP network

Connect the Local Area Network (LAN) card or Ethernet port to the network.

Conﬁguring the Splash RPX-i for the TCP/IP network

The following procedure explains how to conﬁgure the Splash RPX-i for the TCP/IP network.

3From the Show menu, choose the local area network (LAN) card type or Built-in Ethernet for

the TCP/IP network.

4To conﬁgure the TCP/IP address manually, choose Manually from the Conﬁgure menu.

To have a TCP/IP address automatically assigned from the network, choose Using DHCP.

Assigning the Splash RPX-i a static TCP/IP address allows users to locate the Splash RPX-i reliably on the network. To set up the DHCP server to use the same TCP/IP address, contact your network administrator.

5Type the IP address for the Splash RPX-i.

6Type a Subnet mask number, if required.

OTE

If the Subnet mask number is different than the default mask number, change it to match the number used on your network. For more information, contact your network administrator.

7Type the Router address (gateway address), if required.

A network router maintains a list of IP addresses for two or more groups of network devices. The router then uses the list of addresses to direct network data to the appropriate location on the network. To enter two or more router addresses, press Return after entering each address.

8Type the Name server address for your local DNS server on your network (optional).

9Type the search domain name that pertains to your DNS name; for example, design.corp.com

(optional).

10 Click Apply Now to conﬁrm the new setup.

11 Close the Network Control Panel.

PRINTING

Conﬁguring Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 for TCP/IP printing

The Splash RPX-i accepts print jobs from the TCP/IP network on a Windows 2000/XP/ Server 2003 or Novell NetWare NDPS LPR network. In addition, users on a TCP/IP network can print files directly to the Splash RPX-i by using Drop Folders or Hot Folders.

NOTE: To print over the TCP/IP network, your computer must have Splash software

appropriate for your operating system installed, and must be connected to the Splash RPX-i.

Windows computers are pre-conﬁgured with the Microsoft TCP/IP software installed. For information about conﬁguring Windows for TCP/IP printing to the Splash RPX-i, see the

Printing Guide.

NETWORK SETUP

Conﬁguring the Splash RPX-i for NDPS Printing

The Novell NetWare server must be set up and conﬁgured prior to installing and conﬁguring the NetWare Client. The NetWare Client must be installed on the workstation being used to conﬁgure the NetWare server for NDPS printing.

NOTE: Use the latest NetWare support pack and NetWare Client. For more information, see

the documentation that accompanies NetWare.

The following procedures assume NDPS has been installed on your NetWare Server and is properly conﬁgured. An NDPS Broker and NDPS Manager are required for conﬁguring NDPS printing. If these do not exist, contact your network administrator.

TO ADD THE SPLASH RPX-I PPD TO THE NOVELL NETWARE NDPS BROKER

1 Log on to the NetWare file server with Administrator privileges.

2 Start NetWare Administrator.

NOTE: To start NetWare Administrator, go to the Sys:Public\Win32 folder on the NetWare

server and click the nwadmin32 icon.
