Setting Up the Printer
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are
controlled as an entire system. Consult your network
administrator before performing any setup on IP addresses.
• Depending on the network environments, some require
subnet mask and gateway to be set up. Consult your network
administrator and set up the necessary items.
Setting Up the Computer
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are
controlled as an entire system. Consult your network
administrator before performing any setup on IP addresses.
• Before performing any network setup (such as the IP
address) to a host running under NIS (Network Information
Service), consult the NIS administrator.
When setting a UNIX workstation, note the following also:
• The setup procedures and commands may vary according to
different versions of OS. Refer to the manuals that came with
the workstation for the details.
• To setup the printer, the user must be a superuser. Contact
your network administrator to perform the setup if you do
not have the authority of a superuser.
• The print language/mode is determined by the printer model
and configuration. Before setting a UNIX workstation, check
the available languages/modes.
• To specify multiple entries for the logical printer, make sure
each printer entry is assigned its own unique spool directory.
If a single spool directory is used for multiple printer entries,
the printer select option may not function correctly.
