and Gateway are what you expected.
Use the information in “Printing a network setup page” on page 27 if you 
need help.
2Ping the printer and verify that it responds.
For example, at a command prompt on a network computer type “ping” fol-
lowed by the new printer IP address:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
If the printer is active on the network, you should receive a reply.
Configure for Pull
Printing
(ImageQuick)If your printer has an ImageQuick™ optional firmware card installed, you can con-
figure for Pull Printing once an IP address has been assigned to your printer.
For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the online documentation on the 
ImageQuick CD. The ImageQuick CD is shipped with printers that have the 
ImageQuick optional firmware card pre-installed, and also with the firmware card if 
you purchased it separately.
