    							To use the ARP and PING commands, you will need to know the printer's MAC address. You can confirm the MAC
    address on the Control Panel.1
    Check the printer's MAC address.
    You can confirm the MAC address on the Control Panel as follows:
    1.
      On the  Tab Selection screen  of the Control Panel, press  ◀ or  ▶ to
    select the Settings/Adj. tab ( 
    ).
    2.
    Press the  OK button.
    The  Set./Adj. Menu  is displayed.

    Press ▲ or  ▼ to select  Interface Setup , and then press the  OK button.
    4.
    Press  ▲ or  ▼ to select  Ethernet Driver , and then press the  OK button.
    5.
    Press  ▲ or  ▼ to select  MAC Address , and then press the  OK button.
    Note
    •If the Tab Selection screen is not displayed, press the Menu button.•You can investigate the MAC address by printing an interface setting report. (See "Printing Interface Setting Reports.")→P.6602
    In Windows, open a command prompt, or in Mac OS X, start Terminal.
    3
    Execute the following command to add entries to the ARP table for managing IP addresses and corresponding
    MAC addresses.
    arp -s [IP address] [the printer's MAC address you have verified]
    Example: arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
    Note
    •In Mac OS X when using Terminal, enter the arp command in the formatarp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.For details, refer to the help file for the command line.4
    Execute the following command to send the IP address to the printer and configure it.
    ping [IP address as specified in the ARP command] -l 479
    Example: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l 479
    Note
    •In -l, the l is the letter l.•In Mac OS X when using Terminal, enter the ping command in the formatping -s 479 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.For details, refer to the help file for the command line.

    Configuring NetWare Network Settings
    To print over a NetWare network, configure the network environment as follows.
    Important•To configure network settings, you must be logged in with administrative rights such as Administrator account. We recom-mend that your network administrator configure the network settings.
    Note
    •This section describes the procedure in Windows 7.1
    Specify the Ethernet frame type for communication between the printer and computers.
    For instructions,  see "Specifying the Printer's Frame Type ."

    After you have completed the steps above, configure each computer for printing over the NetWare network.
    4
    Connect to the NetWare network.
    Install NetWare client software on each computer to be used for printing over the network, and log in to the
    NetWare server or tree. For instructions on connection, refer to the NetWare and operating system documenta-
    tion.
    5
    Install the printer driver. Follow the instructions of your network administrator to install the printer driver on each computer to be used
    for printing. When installing the printer driver, choose  Network Printer as the printer destination, and then
    choose the print queue created from the NetWare print service settings.

    Follow these steps to configure the printer port. This step is not necessary if you specified the printer destina-
    tion during installation of the printer driver.

    Specifying NetWare Print Services
    Specifying NetWare Print Services
    Before printing in a NetWare network, you must configure print services such as print servers, print queues, and so on.
    You can configure the print service settings from a computer using any of the following Novell software provided with
    NetWare.
    •
    NWADMIN
    •
    PCONSOLE
    Important•If you use NWADMIN to configure the print service settings, Novell Client (the Novell NetWare client software) must be instal-led as the client software application.•NetWare networking is unsupported in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.
    This topic gives instructions for configuring NetWare print services. The order of this procedure may vary depending on
    the environment.
    Choosing the type of print services
    Before completing print service settings, choose the type of print service. Refer to the following descriptions as needed.

    							Note
    •In NetWare 5.1 or 6.0, NDPS may also be used as the print service. If you use NDPS, use the Novell printer gateway includedwith NetWare. For details on configuring NDPS, refer to the NetWare documentation.•
    NDS (Novell Directory Service) and bindery
    NDS and bindery are both supported. Use the mode that is compatible with your network environment.
    •
    Queue server mode and remote printer mode
    Queue server mode and remote printer mode are both supported.
    •
    Queue server mode
    When using queue server mode, all print server functions are supported, so there is no need for other print
    server software or hardware. In NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for
    printing. In bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the bindery print server is used for printing. Note that if you use queue server mode, a NetWare user license is required for each network interface.
    •
    Remote printer mode
    In remote printer mode, the printer is controlled by the NetWare print server. Thus, a NetWare print server is
    required. In NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), the NDS print server is used for printing, and in bindery re-
    mote printer mode (RPrinter), the bindery print server is used for printing.
    Using NWADMIN or PCONSOLE to set up the print server
    Use NWADMIN to set up the print server if NDS queue server mode or remote printer mode is used.
