Overview
Chapter 2: Connecting to Your Network ❖2-3
Overview
The purpose of this Connection & Setup chapter is to
outline the physical connection and configuration of
your DocuPrint 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).

Overview
2-4 ❖DocuPrint Technical Information Guide
Organization This chapter contains the following sections:
•“Quick Steps For Connection & Setup” (page 2-5)
provides the experienced System Administrator with
enough information to quickly connect the printer to
the network.
•“Set An IP Address” (page 2-6) provides the detailed
steps for connecting the printer to a TCP/IP network.
•“Setting a SUBNET MASK at the Control Panel”
(page 2-15) provides the detailed steps for setting a
security mask on a TCP/IP network.
•“Setting up APPSOCKET” (page 2-17) provides the
detailed steps for configuring the printer to use the
AppSocket protocol on your network.
•“Setting DEFAULT GATEWAY at the Control Panel”

Quick Steps For Connection & Setup
Chapter 2: Connecting to Your Network ❖2-5
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 to determine the printer’s
current Network settings. See the section “Print the
Configuration Sheet” (page 2-21).
3. If you are connecting this printer using TCP/IP
protocol, refer to the section “Set An IP Address”
(page 2-6).
4. Go to the appropriate chapter(s) within this Technical
Information Guide (TIG) covering your workstation
Operating System 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
2-6 ❖DocuPrint Technical Information Guide
Set An IP Address
Your DocuPrint 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.
• 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.
The following examples refer to Ethernet but are also
applicable to Token Ring if you have that option.
