Introduction
The purpose of this Technical Information Guide (TIG) is to serve
the informational needs of System Administrators with a reference
providing the platform-specific information necessary during the
DP network setup and configuration. Software-related information
is organized by platform-specific chapters.
Purpose of this Section The purpose of this introductory section is to give a brief overview
of the network installation process, and to provide a guide to the
information contained in this Technical Information Guide (TIG).
Objective Using the information contained in this document, System
Administrators will be able to connect the DP printer to their
network, configure the printer for optimum printing performance,
and troubleshoot printing problems.
Requirements To correctly install and configure your printer based on the
information in this document you will need:
• A DP Nxx printer.
• A Windows, Macintosh, UNIX or OS/2 workstation with
appropriate operating system software installed.
• A working knowledge of your operating system and your
network topology.
• All references to a DP printer apply to the DP N24, N32 and
N40 printers.
• In this manual there are many examples utilizing Ethernet.
These same examples apply to Token Ring if that option is
installed.

this version. If the entry does not exist, install the search engine
version supplied in the \instal\ utility\acroread directory of your DP
Printer CD-ROM.
The procedure below should be used to set up the search index for
the DP Technical Information Guide.
1Start the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your workstation.
2Click on the Tools menu and select Search. A fold out menu will
appear, select Indexes.
3The Index Selection dialog will display a list of indexes currently
configured. Click Add.
4The Add Index dialog will appear. On the right side of the dialog
select the directory where you installed your DP Technical
Information Guide. The file INDEX.PDX will be displayed in the
left side of the dialog.
5Select INDEX.PDX and click OK. The Index Selection dialog will
show the DP entry. Be sure this entry is checked and click OK.
6You may now search using the Tools menu or the search icon for
any word or phrase to find the information you want.

Overview
2-2 ❖DP Technical Information Guide
Overview The purpose of this Connection & Setup chapter is to outline the
physical connection and configuration of your DP printer for use on
a network. This task would ordinarily be performed by an
experienced System Administrator.
Objective The objective of this chapter is to enable you to:
• Identify the overall steps to physically connect and configure
your printer to work with your network.
• Connect network cabling to your printer.
Requirements In general, the requirements needed for printer connection and
setup include:
• Appropriate cabling to link the printer to your network.
• A working knowledge of your network cabling scheme (for
example, coaxial cable; shielded or unshielded twisted pair;
RJ45 or DB9 connection).
Organization This chapter contains the following sections:
•“Quick Steps For Connection & Setup” (page 2-3) provides the
experienced System Administrator with enough information to
quickly connect the printer to the network.
•“Set An IP Address” (page 2-4) provides the detailed steps for
connecting the printer to a TCP/IP network.
•“Setting a SUBNET MASK at the Control Panel” (page 2-8)
provides the detailed steps for setting a security mask on a TCP/
IP network.
•“Setting up APPSOCKET” (page 2-9) provides the detailed
steps for configuring the printer to use the AppSocket protocol
on your network.
•“Setting DEFAULT GATEWAY at the Control Panel”
(page 2-10) provides the detailed steps for setting your gateway
address.
•“Print the Configuration Sheet” (page 2-11) provides the
detailed steps for obtaining the current printer settings.

Quick Steps For Connection & Setup
Chapter 2: Connecting to Your Network ❖2-3
Quick Steps For
Connection &
Setup
Quick Steps for printer connection and setup, for use by the
experienced System Administrator, are provided within this section.
Quick Steps common to virtually all platforms include:
1. Install cabling to link the Network Interface to your network.
2. Print a Configuration Sheet from the printer’s Control Panel to
determine the printer’s total memory, current Network settings,
and all current printer settings. See the section “Print the
Configuration Sheet” (page 2-11).
3. If you are connecting this printer using TCP/IP protocol, refer
to the section “Set An IP Address” (page 2-4).
4. Go to the appropriate chapter(s) within this Technical
Information Guide (TIG) covering your workstation Operating
System (for example, Windows; Macintosh; UNIX; OS2) and
follow the setup instructions provided.
5. If your job doesn’t print correctly, refer to the Troubleshooting
section within the applicable Operating System chapter of this
TIG for problem-solving information.

Set An IP Address
2-4 ❖DP Technical Information Guide
Set An IP Address Your DP printer can be set up on a variety of TCP/IP networks.
There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a
TCP/IP address depending on your network.
• Static Addressing
TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the System Administrator
and entered at the printer’s Control Panel.
• Dynamic Addressing RARP/BOOTP
TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
• Dynamic Addressing DHCP (Dynamic Host Resolution
Protocol)
TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
This section contains procedures for each of these methods.
Determine which method will be used for your network and follow
the steps of the appropriate procedure.
Static Addressing The printer is assigned a TCP/IP address by a network
administrator and this address is manually input to the printer.
Perform the steps below:
1Press Menu Up or Menu Down until you see:
