Moving a Printer

If the move is to a different location on the same portion of the network, just power off the

printer, disconnect it from the network, move it to its new location, and reconnect it to the

network.

If the move is to a different IP address, IP subnet, or AppleTalk zone, Digital recommends

that you reset the NIC to its factory default state so that it searches for a new IP address.

You then need to configure the NIC for its new location.

Before the Move

Because the Cold Reset procedure sets both the printer’s and NIC’s custom settings to

their factory default values, print a NIC Status page and a printer Start-Up page as a record

of the custom settings. Also, print a PCL Menus page if you are using PCL. The pages

are your only record of the custom settings.

__________________________ Note _____________________________

The Cold Reset function also changes the NIC’s enabled protocols. Each time

you perform a Cold Reset operation, the NIC toggles to its alternate set of

protocols: “Enable only LAT protocol” or “Enable all protocols”.

At the New Site

After you have moved the printer, use the following procedure to set it up:

1. Make sure the NIC is connected to the right Ethernet connector (10BaseT or

ThinWire) and check the NIC Status page to see which connection type is selected. If

the connection type at the new location is different from the one used at the previous

location, change the jumper on the card using the instructions on page 2-6 of the

DEClaser 5000 Series Ethernet Card User's Guide.

2. Perform the Cold Reset procedure: turn on the printer while holding the On-Line

button until the display reads COLD RESET. Then release the button.

3. Use the NIC Status page from the old location to recreate the old settings, if desired.

If you want to use the same set of protocols as used at the original site, perform the

Cold Reset procedure a second time.
