Introduction
The Network Printer Card allows you to connect your printer directly to a 
network to share the printer among multiple users. The printer functions 
as a network print server supporting various network environments, such 
as Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Macintosh 8.6 
or higher. 
This guide explains how to connect the Network Printer Card and set up 
your printer as a print sever over the network. 
This guide assumes that you have:
• A good working knowledge of your network utilities
• A supported network operating system
• A fully operational computer system
• Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator, or 
access to an account that has supervisor and print server operator 
privileges
Supported network environments
Administrators and users can configure, and use printers on the 
following supported network operating systems:
Note: Your printer may not support all of the listed computing 
environments (operating systems). Therefore, check the network 
environment your printer supports in the users guide that came with the 
printer.

IP address setup
Before using your network print server in your network, you must set 
TCP/IP addresses for the print server. You will need your printer card’s 
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. First, 
check with your network administrator for the TCP/IP addresses.
Note: The MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network 
printer card. You can check the address by printing the Network Printer 
Configuration Page. For printing the page, refer to your printer user’s 
guide.
You can set your print server’s IP address via the following methods:
•
Set IP program: Go to the Using SetIP.
•
Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series: Once you have set an IP 
address for your network print server, you can use the embedded 
web server in the network printer card to change the address. Go to 
next column.
• DHCP: You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to 
get an IP address automatically assigned by your network 
administrator, if your network system supports this protocol.s
• BOOTP: A network-based server using the BootStrap protocol 
(BOOTP) can notify the network printer card of its assigned IP 
address each time the printer turns on, if your network system 
supports this protocol.
Note: To get an IP address from the DHCP or BOOTP server, the IP 
assignment method must be set to DHCP or BOOTP.
Using SetIP
Windows
1
From the Start menu, select Programs or All Programs > SP 
3300 Series
 > Set IP.
The program automatically detects and displays new and 
configured print servers on your network.
2Select the name of your printer and click  . If you cannot find 
your printer name, click   to refresh the list.
Even with this step, if you cannot find your printer name, then 
contact Network Administrator.
3Enter your network printer card’s MAC address (hardware 
address), IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and then click 
Apply.
4Click OK to confirm the settings.
5Click Exit to close the SetIP program.
MAC OS X
If you want to change your network printer IP setting, follow the below 
instruction.
1Printer the machine’s network information report which includes 
your machine’s MAC address.
2Open the Library folder > Printers > RFG > your printer model 
name
 > Set IP.
3Double click the SetIPApplet.html file.
Using Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series

							TCP/IP environment
4.1
4TCP/IP environment
A TCP/IP network provides you with various protocols for using printing 
devices and managing various types of networked devices.
In this chapter, you will learn which management protocols are available 
in TCP/IP network environments, and how to print via your network print 
server using TCP/IP protocol.
Management protocols
Before beginning to print documents via your network printer, you need 
to check or configure some parameters using management protocols.
DHCP/BOOTP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication 
protocol enabling network administrators to centrally manage and to 
automate the assignment of IP addresses in a network. In an IP network, 
each device needs a unique IP address. DHCP lets a network 
administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point 
and automatically sends a new IP address when a device is plugged into 
a different place in the network. 
Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is UDP/IP-based protocol which allows a 
booting host to configure itself dynamically and without user supervision. 
BOOTP provides means to notify a host of its assigned IP address, the 
IP address of a boot server host, and other configuration information, 
such as the local subnet mask, the local time offset, and the addresses 
of default routers. Addresses of various Internet servers can also be 
transferred to a host using BOOTP. 
DHCP is active by factory default on your network print server. After boot 
up, the network print server will get an IP address automatically from the 
DHCP server, if one exists. To set an IP address manually, see page 2.2.
Configuring DHCP/BOOTP
To enable or disable DHCP/BOOTP, use one of the following methods:
•
Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series: Select Network Settings > 
TCP/IP and select DHCP or BOOTP from the IP Address Assignment 
Method list.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application layer protocol for 
distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a 
generic, stateless protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its 
use for hypertext, such as with name servers and distributed object 
management systems. You are using HTTP when you connect your 
network printer via a web browser.
The Network Printer Card has a built-in web server, Web Image Monitor 
SP 3300 Series. You can configure and manage your network print 
server through Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series using HTTP over 
TCP/IP.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is part of the 
TCP/IP protocol suite, is an application layer protocol that facilitates the 
exchange of management information between network devices. It 
enables network administrators to remotely monitor and configure 
network devices, find and solve network problems, and plan for network 
growth.
Network devices are monitored and controlled using four basic SNMP 
commands: 
•
read: is used by a Network Management server to monitor network 
devices. The server examines different variables that are maintained 
by the devices.
•
write: is used by a Network Management server to control managed 
devices. The server changes the values of variables stored within the 
devices.
•
trap: is used by network devices to asynchronously report events to a 
Network Management server. When certain types of events occur, a 
device sends a trap to the specified server.
•
Traversal operations: are used by a Network Management server to 
determine which variables a network device supports and to 
sequentially gather information in variable tables, such as a routing 
table.
Configuring SNMP
To access your network print server using SNMP, Community Name/
Access Permission pair must be properly specified. There are two 
access permission: read and write.
Assign the IP addresses of trap hosts and community names (IP 
addresses) of network devices in Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series; 
select 
Network Settings > SNMP. 
Using SNMP
Web Image Monitor SP 3300 Series accesses, configures, and manages 
network devices using SNMP. You can use other MIB (Management 
Information Base) browser software, which allows you to access 
management information gathered from network devices.
