is enabled.
Use the Following IP Address
. If you need to assign the PrintServer a fixed IP address (also known as static IP
address), select
Use the Following IP Address
, and enter the appropriate values under IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway. Make sure the IP Address and Subnet Mask are appropriate for your network. If you change
the PrintServer’s IP address, make sure you that you reconnect to the PrintServer using that new IP address.
Otherwise, you will not be communicating with the PrintServer. In most cases, the Gateway IP address is the IP
address of your router, and you should complete the
Gateway
field if you will use the PrintServer for Internet
printing. (To find out your router’s IP address, consult your router’s documentation.)
Connection
Delay before reconnection attempt
. Set how long you want the PrintServer to wait between attempts.
Number of reconnection attempts
. Specify the number of times that the PrintServer will attempt to connect to
the network.

The Protocol Tab - AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a network communications protocol that allows computers to talk to each other using Ethernet.
Typically only Macintoshes use AppleTalk, although other platforms can use it if they have the necessary, third-
party software.
Communication
Printer Object Type
. The Printer Object Type can be obtained from the manufacturer of the printer. Enter the type
of printer in the field provided. For each printer connected to the PrintServer, you will choose the Communications
Protocol that allows the devices on the network to communicate.
Communication Protocol
. Select the type of Communication Protocol you will use,
ASCII
or
Binary

NetBEUI connection settings of the PrintServer
are available on this tab.
Domain Name
Enter the name of the domain that you want the PrintServer associated with in the
Domain Name
field.
If you are unsure of the Domain Name, you can find it out by looking on any computer already on the network.
In
Windows 98, right-click
Network Neighborhood
and select
Properties
. Under the Identification tab, there will be
listed that computer’s name, and the Domain to which it is connected. For Windows Me, 2000, or XP, right-click
My
Network Places
. In Windows Me, choose
Properties
from the menu that appears. In Windows 2000 or XP, choose
Properties
from the menu that appears. Then, right-click
Local Area Connection
and choose
Properties
. The
Domain name will appear. If you want the PrintServer to be connected to that same Domain, enter that Domain
name here.
If no Domain name exists there, you will use the Workgroup name from that window.
Options
Response Time
. You can specify the Response Time that you prefer for the PrintServer. This is the amount of time
(measured in seconds) that the PrintServer will wait for a response from the network before “timing out.”
Abort Print Job if Error
. You also have the option to use this feature, Abort Print Job if Error. Selecting Yes here will
terminate the printing if there is an error of any kind. If you select No, print jobs that have errors will be sent to the
printer, but might not print properly.
