Section 3 Configuring Network Setting Before configuring the Print Server’s network setting, please take note of your computer’s TCP/IP setting. Step 1 Click on Start, Run, and type command (for Windows 95/98/ME) or cmd (for Windows 2000/ XP) and click OK. Step 2 At the command prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. Step 3 Write down the information for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. You will need these information later.
Step 6 In the IP Address field, enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway that matches your local area network. For example: If your computer’s IP Address is 192.168.1.100, enter the same three numbers: 192.168.1 in the corresponding fields. Note: You can leave the last IP Address number 254 as is unless another network device (i.e. the Default Gateway) is already using that number.
Section 4 Verifying Network Connection Step 1 Run the PS Utility by going to Start, (All) Programs, PS Utility, PS Utility v2.00. Step 2 Make sure the print server is detected under the Device Name.
