Windows NIC Configuration

The IP address and subnet mask are mandatory TCP/IP settings and are
needed before the print server can be detected on the network. There are
also additional optional settings. This section offers alternative methods for
configuring your NIC in a Windows environment and mentions some of the
more common optional settings available.

Mandatory

Since TCP/IP is used for Windows printing, the NIC must be configured with a
minimum of an IP address and subnet mask before it can be seen on the
network.

Optional

Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured. This allows
communication across subnets when no other router exists.

Configuration of the NIC can be done from the printer control panel, Web
browser, or host commands.
