4–20 1765 Network Printer Configuration Guide
Windows 95 Using TCP/IP Protocol
This section describes how to add your Silentwriter to
the network using Windows 95 operating system
software and the TCP/IP network protocol.
Before you begin, make sure that your Windows 95
system is configured for TCP/IP networking. If not,
check with your system administrator.
The following steps summarize how to configure your
network.
1.
Install the software. This includes installing
Windows 95 Printing System from NEC, the
TCP/IP network protocol, and the Silentwriter
printer drivers.
2. Establish the printer on the network.
You can define multiple printers as part of the software
installation. If you want to define more printers after
you have installed the software follow the steps under
“Define New Printer Ports” on page 4-24.
Install Software
Before you begin you need to know the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway for the Silentwriter
and for your workstation. You also need to know if your
network supports Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
The IP address and subnet mask for the Silentwriter can
be found on the configuration page. See “Print a
Configuration Page” on page 2-13. Your system
administrator will know the default gateway, ARP
capabilities for your network, and your workstation’s
IP address and subnet mask.
The first time you set up the Silentwriter the IP address
and subnet mask will have factory default values of
11.22.33.44 and 255.0.0.0 respectively. To change those
values see “Changing TCP/IP IP Address” and
“Changing TCP/IP Subnet Mask” on page 5-33.
