Understanding the Network Configuration Menus 3
Network Menu Location within the Configuration Menu READY MENU SPECIAL PAGES MENU LANGUAGE MENU ENGINE MENU NETWORK DHCP:xx BOOTP:xx IP ADDRESS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SUBNET MASK xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx GATEWAY xxx.xxx.xxx.
Accessing the Network Menu Use the following series of keystrokes at the printer to access the Network menu options on your printer. This menu provides access to all of the configurable network items. Press this key . . . (until) the message window reads . . . READY SPECIAL PAGES MENU NETWORK Using the Network Menu Options If the printer is connected to a network, the following settings should be specified. For details about each setting, contact your network administrator.
IP Address Purpose Sets the IP address of this printer on the network. Range 0–255 for each xxx triplet Use the Up and Down keys to increase or decrease each number; use the Left and Right keys to move between triplets. Default 192.168.1.2 Notes Leading zeros of each triplet are automatically suppressed; for example, “001” displays as “1” Subnet Mask Purpose Sets the subnet mask value of the network.
Mac Address Purpose Displays the Ethernet hardware address for this printer. It cannot be changed. Options None Default Printer dependent HTTP Purpose Enables or disables the printer’s internal web page (see chapter 5, “Using PageScope Web Connection.” ) When HTTP is set to “OFF”, IP printing is not possible. Options HTTP SET: OFF, HTTP SET: ON Default HTTP SET: ON Notes In order for these settings to be applied, the printer must be turned off, then on again after the setting is specified.
Forced Modes 80 Purpose Some network hubs will not communicate with printers that use a fixed network speed and structure. In such cases, use the new NETWORK/FORCED MODES menu to configure the printer for the appropriate hub settings and enable communication.
Network Printing in a Windows Environment 4
Network Connection Theory To connect your printer in a TCP/IP network environment, you must make sure that the internal network addresses in the printer have been set. " In many cases, you have to enter only a unique IP address. However, you may also have to enter a subnet mask and/or a gateway (router) address, depending on your network configuration requirements. Supported Environments Windows Server 2003/XP/2000/NT4.
Making the Connection Ethernet Interface An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this printer. When connecting your printer to an Ethernet network, the tasks you perform depend on how you plan to set the printer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address. Printers are shipped with a preset IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. IP Address—A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network. Subnet Mask—A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
Setting the Address Manually You may also manually change the printer’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway by using the following instructions. (See chapter 3, “Understanding the Network Configuration Menus,” for more information.) " When manually setting the IP address, turn off DHCP and BOOTP first. In addition, when the IP address is changed, add a new port or reinstall the printer driver. CAUTION You should always notify your network’s administrator before changing the printer’s IP address.
3 If you don’t want to set the subnet mask or gateway, go to step 5. If you don’t want to set the subnet mask, but you do want to set the gateway, go to step 4. If you want to set the subnet mask, follow these steps. Press this key . . . (until) the message window displays . . . SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 Use the and keys to move to each of the four number triplets. (Leading zeros of each triplet are automatically suppressed; for example, “.001.” displays as “.1.
5 Save your configuration changes and make the printer ready for printing again. Press this key . . . (until) the message window displays . . . Press the Up key twice to return to READY 6 Print a configuration page to verify that the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway have been set. Press this key . . . (until) the message window displays . . . READY MENU SPECIAL PAGES PRINT CONFIG PAGE 7 86 When the printer’s message window displays READY, install the printer driver and utilities.
Network Printing The magicolor 2430 DL supports the following network protocols: BOOTP DHCP HTTP IPP LPD/LPR SLP SNMP TCP/IP This chapter defines each of these protocols and then explains how to print via IPP. BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover (1) its own IP address, (2) the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and (3) a file that can be loaded into memory to boot the workstation.
IPP IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for end users’ most common printing situations over the Internet. It allows users to find out about a printer’s capabilities, submit print jobs to a printer, determine the status of the printer or print job, and cancel a previously submitted print job. For more information on using IPP, See “Printing via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) – Windows Server 2003/XP/2000” on page 90.
SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is actually a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters. TCP/IP Most networks combine TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with the lower-level protocol IP (Internet Protocol).
Printing via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) – Windows Server 2003/XP/2000 Adding an IPP Port There are two ways to add an IPP port under Windows Server 2003/XP/2000: Using setup.exe or using the Add Printer wizard. Using setup.exe Double-click setup.exe in the drivers\english\W2k-xp folder on the Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM. (Unless otherwise noted, all dialog boxes pictured here are taken from a Windows XP operating system.
3 4 5 Windows Server 2003/XP—Go to step 4. Windows 2000—If you entered a valid path in the previous step, the following message displays: “The server on which the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2430 DL printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to install the driver on your local computer, click OK.” The reason for this is that you do not yet have a printer driver installed. Choose OK.
2 In the URL field in the next dialog box enter the printer’s network pathname in one of the following formats and then choose Next: http://ipaddress:80/ipp http://ipaddress:631/ipp " The URI “ipp://” does not work in a Windows 2000 operating system. Windows Server 2003/XP Windows 2000 Windows Server 2003/XP—“Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. For more information, click Help.
4 5 Choose Have Disk, locate the directory on the CD-ROM where the printer driver files are located (for example, drivers\english\W2k-xp), and then choose OK. Finish installing the printer driver.
Using PageScope Web Connection 5
About PageScope Web Connection This chapter provides information on PageScope Web Connection, an HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)-based web page that resides in your printer and that you can access using your Web browser. This page gives you instant access to printer status and the most frequently used printer configuration options. Anyone on your network can access the printer using their web browser software.
Setting Up the Printer Web Page Setting up the printer web page to run on your network involves two basic steps: Determining the name or address of your printer Setting up the “no proxy” preferences in your browser software Determining the Printer Name The printer web page can be accessed in two ways: " The printer names can also be determined via WINS if the network support it.
" Our examples represent the IP address of the printer with: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Always enter your printer's IP address without leading zeros. For example, 192.168.001.002 should be entered as 192.168.1.2. Internet Explorer (version 6.0 for Windows) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 98 Start Internet Explorer. From the Tools menu choose Internet Options.
