Panasonic KX-P8420 Operating Guide

TCP/IP provides network services for high-speed local and wide area 
networks and heterogeneous environments including PC compatibles, 
Macintosh computers, minicomputers, and mainframes running diverse 
operating systems. The printer supports the lpr protocol for printing over 
TCP/IP networks. Network users submit print jobs to a named printer. 
Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the printer, or can 
print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print 
server.

Before you install the printer on a TCP/IP network, you need to obtain a 
unique IP address. Contact your network administrator for this information.

To set up printing on a TCP/IP network, the network administrator must 
follow these steps:

From the Ready screen, press the Menu/Exit button on 
the front panel to access the printer setup menus.

Press the Continue/Forward button until you see 
Network Protocol Setup on the LCD. Press the Enter 
button to access the TCP/IP Setup menus.

In the next step you will enable TCP/IP network communication 
according to your network type.

Press Enter to advance to the Enable TCP/IP? screen. 
Press Enter and press Continue/Forward to select 
Yes, and then press Enter again to advance to the 
Ethernet IP Address screen. Press Enter.

Use the Continue/Forward button to select a number in 
a valid, unique IP Address for the KX-P8420. Press 
Cancel/Left button to accept a number and move to the 
left—to the next number.
