Further information about TCP/IP can be found in the abundance of literature
on the subject.
Setting the IP Parameters
The IP-parameter settings can either be set fix, or they can be requested from
a DHCP server with every start of the printer. To assist the system administra-
tor, the DHCP server is provided a device name on request, which consists of
a combination of printer type + 3 digits from the MAC address. (e.g.
AP_5.4___300dpi_020049). The following values have been preset:
• IP address: 192.168.1.99
• Net mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 0.0.0.0
¯ Connection to a name server is not required.
¯ WARNING: The address allocation for each device must be clear and un-
ambiguous. Ask your network administrator for assistance!
Transmission with Raw Socket Interface
Printing data can be transmitted using a parameterisable socket interface
(TCP server socket on port number > 1024).
This protocol is supported by
• all Unix derivatives; a connection similar to that of terminal servers can be
established.
• Windows 2000, Windows XP
A software package from external providers is required for Windows 95,
Windows 98 and Windows NT (e.g. Serial/IP by Tactical Software,
http://www.tacticalsoftware.com).
In this way you can set the Port address in the printer’s parameter menu:
