Introduction

Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45
Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.

You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your
network printer.

Via network administration programs

You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the
printer via the following programs that came with your printer:

• CentreWare IS: A web server embedded in your network printer,
which allows you to remotely configure the printer settings and
network parameters necessary for the printer to be connected to
various network environments.

• SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select your network printer
and manually configure the printer's TCP/IP addresses.

Via the control panel

You can set up the following basic network parameters through the
printer’s control panel:

• Configure TCP/IP

• Configure IPX frame types for NetWare

• Configure EtherTalk, 802.1x, Port 9100, LPR, IPP, SLP,
CentreWare IS, and SNMP

Configuring TCP/IP

Configuring EtherTalk

Your printer can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information,
such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses.
There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP
address, depending on your network.

• Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the
system administrator.

• Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP address
is assigned automatically by the server.

Note

Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network
protocol to TCP/IP.

Static addressing

To enter a TCP/IP address from your printer’s control panel, take the
following steps:

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press OK when TCP/IP appears.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Static appears and press

OK.

4 Press OK when IP Address appears.

5 Set the first byte between 0 and 255 using the Up/down arrow

buttons and press OK to move to the next byte.

Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th
byte.

6 When you have finished, press OK.

7 Repeat step 5 and 6 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters:

subnet mask and gateway address.

8 Press Start/Stop to return to Standby mode.

Dynamic addressing (BOOTP/DHCP)

To have a TCP/IP address assigned automatically by the server, take the
following step:

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display.

2 Press OK when TCP/IP appears.

EtherTalk is AppleTalk used in an Ethernet network. This protocol is
widely used in Macintosh network environments. To use EtherTalk, take
the following steps:

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until EtherTalk appears and

press OK.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until On appears and press OK.

4 Press Start/Stop to return to Standby mode.

Configuring IPX frame types

To use IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the
format of the network communication frames must be specified for the
printer. In most cases, you can keep the
manually set the frame type format, if required. Take the following steps
to change the frame type format:

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until NetWare appears and

press OK.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until the desired frame type

appears.

• Auto: Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first
one detected.

• 802.2: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE

802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

• 802.3: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All
others will be discarded.

• Ethernet II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames.
All others will be discarded.

• SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3
frames. All others will be discarded.

• Off: The IPX/SPX protocol is disabled.

Setting Ethernet speed

Configuring 802.1x

You can select the communication speed for Ethernet connections.

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Ethernet Speed appears

and press OK.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until the speed you want

appears and press OK.

4 Press Start/Stop to return to Standby mode.

Restoring the network configuration

You can return the network configuration to its default settings.

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Clear Setting appears and

press OK.

3 Press OK when Yes appears to restore the network configuration.

4 Power the printer off and back on.

Printing a network configuration page

The network configuration page shows how the network interface card
on your printer is configured.

Your printer has 802.1x protocol on its network. 802.1x is a security
standard for port based network access control. It secures your network
against unauthorized access by requiring authentication before network
access and data transmission are allowed. There are 3 mutually
exclusive options for 802.1x authentication.

To use 802.1x, take the following steps:

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until 802.1x appears and press

OK.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until On appears and press OK.

4 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until the desired authentication

method appears.

• EAP-MD5: EAP-MD5 (Extensible Authentication Protocol
Message Digest algorithm 5) is a message hashing scheme
between client and server to allow the transfer of user data in a
secure fashion.

• EAP-MSCHAPv2: EAP-MSCHAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol Microsoft version of the Challenge-Handshake
Authentication Protocol). MSCHAP v2 is a one-way encrypted
password, mutual authentication process. MS-CHAPv2 uses
different hashing/encryption algorithms to encode the UserID and
passwords.

• PEAP: PEAP (Protected EAP).

5 Enter user name and passcode using Up/down arrow button.

6 Press OK to save the selection.

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Network Info. appears and

press OK.

3 Press OK when Yes appears.

The network configuration page prints out.

7 Press Start/Stop to return to Standby mode.

1 Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Port 9100 appears and

press OK.

3 Press the Up/down arrow buttons until On appears and press OK.
