[I-01] Configuring the Network Settings
Perform the following procedures to configure the network settings.
Installing the Printer Driver
There are two methods of installing the printer driver.
Configuring the Protocol Settings of the Printer
After installing the printer driver, configure the printer protocol settings as needed.
Methods of configuring the protocol settingsThere are three methods of configuring the protocol settings.
- Using the Remote UI
You can configure the protocol settings by accessing the printer over the network from a Web browser.
- Using NetSpot Device Installer
You can use this software program to configure the basic protocol settings.
You can run NetSpot Device Installer in either of the following ways.
- Run NetSpot Device Installer from the CD-ROM.
- Run NetSpot Device Installer installed on your computer.
- Using an FTP client
You can configure the protocol settings by accessing the FTP server of the network board from Command Prompt.
NOTE
Configuring the DNS server settings
Use the Remote UI or an FTP client to configure these settings.
[I-02] Configuring the IP Address
There are three methods of configuring the IP address.
These procedures are described using screenshots from Windows XP.
IMPORTANT
If you are using Windows Vista (64-bit version)
NetSpot Device Installer cannot be used on Windows Vista (64-bit version).
Network-ready printer model
Only LBP5050n is designed for use on a network.
LBP5050 only has a USB interface.
Configuring the IP Address Using NetSpot Device Installer
The following describes how to configure the IP address by running NetSpot Device Installer directly from the CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT
If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later
- If you are using a computer with Windows Firewall enabled, it is recommended that you configure the IP address using the ARP and PING commands.
- Before configuring the IP address, NetSpot Device Installer must be added to the Windows Firewall exception list.
- Add [NetSpot Device Installer] to the list on the [Exceptions] sheet of the [Windows Firewall] dialog box.
(See the NetSpot Device Installer Readme file.)
- Install NetSpot Device Installer.
