Xerox 840 User Manual

Log in as root.

Make an entry into the host’s ARP table defining the printer’s 
IP/hardware address pair.  In general, this requires a command 
corresponding to one of the following syntax examples:       

Turn on the printer.

Execute the ping command from the host:       

Use the host spooling system (for example, lpr or lp) to send the file 
you created in Step 2b to the printer.  This stores the IP addressing 
information in the printer’s internal memory, where it is retained over 
a reset or power cycle.  (For more information on setting up queues, see 
“Assigning a print queue to the printer” on page 83.)

Reset the printer.  For more information about resetting the printer, see 
Chapter 16, “Resetting the Printer”.

After setting the printer’s IP address by one of the methods described 
previously in this chapter, you can perform the rest of the TCP/IP configuration 
using PhaserLink Printer Management Software, if you have a World Wide Web 
browser.  For more information on PhaserLink software, see Chapter 12, 
“PhaserLink Printer Management Software”.

From the printer’s home page, click Configuration; this displays the 
View and Configure Settings

 page.

From the View and Configure Settings page, click View and 
Configure Interface Settings

; this displays the View and Configure 

 page.

From the View and Configure Interface Settings page, click View and 
Configure TCP/IP Settings

; this displays the View and Configure 

 page.    

Enter your printer’s settings.  If you make an error, click Restore Initial 
Form Values

 and start again.

printer-IP-address    hardware-address        (for BSD systems)

arp   -s   ether    

printer-IP-address    hardware-address    (for System V)

See the documentation for your host system for specifics of this 
command.    

The hardware address in the arp command example is the printer’s Ethernet 
Address for PhaserShare Ethernet interfaces or the Token Ring Address for 
PhaserShare Token Ring cards.
