Xerox 840 User Manual

7

There are two steps to printer configuration:

Set the printer’s IP address and other addressing information.  The Phaser 
840, 740 and 780 printers support the use of IP host name as well as IP 
addresses.

Set the printer’s other TCP/IP parameters (optional): 

■

Set host access and control character filtering for each port.

■

Receiving printer status (Syslog, SNMP, or email notification)

Obtain the information listed in the following table.  It might be helpful to write 
down this information so that you can refer to it later when you are performing the 
configuration.

Internet (IP) address for the printer

The format is 

x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255.

Network mask

If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer chooses an appropriate mask.

Broadcast address

If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer computes an appropriate 
broadcast address.

This is the address the printer uses to send broadcast packets.  Regardless 
of how this parameter is set, the printer accepts broadcast packets from any 
of the commonly used broadcast address conventions. 

Gateway IP address

This is the address of the router.  You need this address if you want to 
communicate with the printer from anywhere other than the local network 
segment.
