Configuring the Print Server for TCP/IP B-3
Configuring the Print
Server for TCP/IP
To print via TCP/IP, the print server must be assigned a unique IP
address. Many companies are running a TCP/IP-based network to pro-
vide Internet services to their employees. In this case, it is a relatively
simple task for the network administrator to assign an IP address to the
print server TCP/IP port.
If you’re already using TCP/IP:
• Your network administrator must assign an IP address and subnet
mask to the print server, from the range of IP addresses assigned
to your company.
• If your network uses a DNS server, your network administrator may
also assign a host name to the print server.
• If supported by your network, use DHCP. In this case, it is not nec-
essary to specify an IP address and subnet mask.
You can use the following IP address and subnet mask when your work-
station is cabled directly to the print server’s network port, or if they are
both on a local area network:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.10
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
