ETHERNET PRINTER INFORMATION

You may disconnect the USB, serial, or parallel port and connect the

V ETHERNET NETMASK 255.255.0.0

V ETHERNET GATEWAY 130.10.250.1

V WRITE

V ETHERNET RESET

END

communicating over the network. Changing the settings manually via

SNMP or by downloading a format containing “VARIABLE
