KX-P7310 Setup Utility uses TCP/IP. You need to set up AppleTalk and TCP/IP on your 
computer and printer. The printer does not work with AppleTalk Phase1.
Step 1: Setting up AppleTalk and TCP/IP on your computer
[For Mac OS 8.5 - Mac OS 9.2]
See page 42 for Mac OS X 10.1 - Mac OS X 10.2.
1Select Control Panels from the Apple menu, then double click 
AppleTalk icon.
2Select Ethernet from the Connect via box.
3Close the dialog.

Step 2: Setting up TCP/IP on the printer
You need to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway for the printer. Set them by 
using one of the following two methods. You may need to contact your network administrator 
to select the best way.
• Using the DHCP server (see below)
• Using the Network Setup Tool (see page 44)
NOTE
• You can also setup the printer using BOOTP or RARP.
[A] Using the DHCP server
If the administrator manages the network with DHCP server, it is possible to assign IP 
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway automatically from DHCP server by default. 
These can be viewed by printing out the configuration page. It can be printed by pressing the 
PRINT/RESET button on the printer panel more than 2 seconds and less than 5 seconds.
NOTE
• If the printer receives the IP Address with unlimited lease term, the printer keeps the address 
permanently. The printer saves the address statically and the DHCP function becomes 
disable automatically.
• If the printer’s LPR port is created on the computer with the IP Address leased by DHCP 
server (ex. Broadband Router), the printer may not print when the printer’s IP Address is 
changed because of the time limit of lease. In that case, it is strongly recommended to assign 
a static IP Address to the printer using the method “[B] Using the Network Setup Tool (Mac 
OS 8.5 - Mac OS 9.2)”.

[B] Using the Network Setup Tool (Mac OS 8.5 - Mac OS 9.2)
Network Setup Tool can operate in the Classic environment only. When using it in Mac OS X 
10.1 or Mac OS X10.2, use it in the Classic environment.
If the administrator manages the IP Address, contact them to confirm the values before the 
installation. If not, set the unique value that is not used by another devices on the network. 
Refer to the example shown below.
Example (assigning the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway)
IP Address: 172.16.x.x
(x: you can choose any number from 0-255 except 0.0 and 255.255) 
Be sure that the IP Address is not assigned to the other devices.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
  It is the same value for all devices.
Default Gateway: Not required. (0.0.0.0 or set to same as other devices on the network)
NOTE
• 0 should not be used as the initial value of IP Address. For example, if the IP Address is 5, 
enter the number 5 (05 or 005 is incorrect). If there are any 0’s, 0 is OK, but 00 or 000 is 
incorrect.
First install the Network Setup Tool by using the printer CD-ROM disk and then set up TCP/IP 
on the printer. If the Network Setup Tool is already installed, proceed to the step 8.
1Insert the printer CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive, and then double-
click the KXP7305_KXP7310 icon, the Mac OS and English folder.
2Double click the Network Setup Tool Installer icon.
3Click [Continue] if you agree with the software license agreement.
4Click [Install].
5Click [Quit].
6Double click Network Setup Tool 
(it is located in Panasonic:KX-P7305 and KX-P7310 folder).

This chapter explains how to setup a client computer to print via a NetWare server.
Perform the following steps:
Step 1: Setting up the printer and server
Step 2: Setting up the client
Step 1: Setting up the printer and server
There are four ways of setup.
•[A] Using NDS (Novell Directory Service) - PSERVER mode(see page 48)
•[B] Using NDS - RPRINTER (NPRINTER) mode(see page 53)
You may need to check with your network administrator which to select. For detailed 
information on these modes, refer to the NetWare manual or the Novell web site.
Setting the NetWare server is almost performed on the client. You must log on the server 
using the supervisor privilege. Novell Client software must be installed in your computer prior 
to setting up.
