User Setup Disk Creating Tool (Windows Only)
You can use the User Setup Disk Creating Tool program in the MakeDisk folder within the Utilities
folder and drivers in the respective folders of the Software Pack CD-ROM to create a driver installation
package. A driver installation package can contain a group of print driver settings and other data for
things such as:
• Print orientation and Multiple Up print (document settings)
• Watermarks

TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP
addresses and additional system settings information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your
computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s IP address.
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that
the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your
printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another
device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every computer and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP
addressing.
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the
installer on the Software Pack CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further
instructions, insert the Software Pack CD-ROM into your computer's CD/DVD drive. After the Installer
starts, follow the prompts for installation.
NOTE:
• For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established TCP/IP network.
52Printer Connection and Software Installation
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
• DHCP
• DHCP/Auto IP (enabled by default)
You can turn on/off either protocol using the operator panel, or use the CentreWare Internet Services
to turn on/off the DHCP protocol.
NOTE:
• You can print a report that includes the printer’s IP address. On the operator panel, press the (Menu)
button, select Report/List, press the button, select System Settings, and then press the button.
The IP address is listed on the System Settings page.
Using the Operator Panel

Setting Up the Printer for Shared Printing
One way to make a new printer available for other computers on a network is to use the Software
Pack CD-ROM supplied with your printer. Using the supplied CD is helpful in a way that it will install
utilities including the SimpleMonitor as well. The following, however, describes the procedures for
sharing a printer on a network without using the supplied CD.
To set up a printer to be shared on a network, you need to set up the printer for network sharing and
install print drivers for the printer on every computer on the network.
NOTE:
• You need to purchase an additional Ethernet cable at your own cost to connect a printer to an Ethernet
network.
